    • I have never heard of any such law. Please post a link to what you have read online that explains this law. And please confirm whether you were ever married to or in a formal Civil Partnership with your Ex.
    • Today has been hectic so  have been unable to complete the whole thing. If you now understand it and want to go ahead with a complaint to the IPC, fine. If not then I won't need to finish it. But below is my response to your request  on post 64. No you don't seem stupid, the Protection of Freedoms Act isn't easy to get one 's head around at first. The part of the above Act referring to private parking is contained within Schedule 4 which you can find online under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Section 9 of SCH.4 relates to how the parking scrotes have to perform so that they can transfer their right to pursue the keeper from the driver when the PCN is still unpaid after a certain amount of time. In your case the PCN was posted to you the keeper and arrived within 14 days from when they claimed a breach occurred. That means they complied with first part of the Act. The driver at that time was still responsible to pay the charge demanded on the PCN and PCM now have to wait for 28 days to elapse before they can write and advise the keeper that as the charge has not been paid, that they now have the right to pursue the keeper. They claim they sent the first PCN on the 13th March, five days after the alleged breach and it arrived on Friday 15th March. So to comply with the Act they have to observe Section 8 subsection 2f   (f)warn the keeper that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice is given— (i)the amount of the unpaid parking charges specified under paragraph (d) has not been paid in full, and (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So the first PCN was deemed to arrive on the 15th March and for 28 days to have elapsed is when the time is right for them to write and say you are now liable as keeper. So they sent the next PCN on the 12th April which is too early as you could still have paid until midnight of the 12th. So the earliest their second PCN should have gone to you was  Saturday 13th April so more likely on Monday 15th April. The IPC Code of Conduct states "Operators must be aware of their legal obligations and implement the relevant legislation and guidance when operating their businesses." So by issuing your demand a day early, they have broken the Act, the IPC Code of Conduct, the DVLA agreement  to abide by the law and the Code of Conduct not to mention a possible breach of your GDPR .   I asked the IPC  in the letter on an earlier to confirm that  CPMs Notice misrepresenting the law was a standard practice for all of PCMs Notices or just certain ones. Their distribution  may depend on when they were issued and whether they were issued in certain localities or for certain breaches. Whichever method used is a serious breach of the Law and could lead to PCM being black listed by the DVLA . One would expect that after that even if the IPC did not cancel your ticket, PCM could not risk going to Court with you nor even pursuing you any further.
    • thanks jk2054 - do you know any law i can quote (regarding timeframe) when sending the email as if i cant they'll probably just say no like the normal staff have done? thanks.
    • I lived there with her up until I gave notice. She took over the tenancy in her name. I had a letter from the council and a refund of the council tax for 1 month.    She took on the bills and tenancy and only paid the rent. No utility bills or council tax were paid once she took it over. She will continue to not pay bills in her new house which I'm now having to pay or will have to. I have looked online I believe the police and solicitors are going by the partner law to make me liable.   I have always paid my bills and ensured her half was paid then see how much free money is over.   She spends all her money on payday loans and rubbish then panics about the rent. I usually end up paying it or having to get her a loan.   Stupidly in my name but at the time it was because she was my partner. I even paid to move her and clean and decorate her old house so she got the deposit back. It cost me £3000 due to the mess she always leaves behind.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Thanks for that.Next question...do I use simple or advanced?? Also, where do I find the details I put in the particulars of the claim? Sorry but I'm just a 50 year old Catering Manager doing this for my other half and can never find my way back to the relevent pages on this site! Am so stressed it is reducing me to tears tonight because up to now everyhting has gone according to plan and it feels like its falling to bits now as I'm finding it all so hard to understand. It doesnt seem fair that because I'm a bit thick I cant see it through.

Hi Deller

Well after 10 ciggies and a near nervous breakdown...I rang the helpline and they said it couldnt be changed. But as I had done it so late last night they couldnt see it on the system. They told me they would pull it, send my payment back via money order and I was to start again with a new claim and another payment. That is what Im doing now. Looks like my Christmas shopping has been curtailed as I doubt I will get the original £120 back as soon as I would like. Hey ho, at least I am sane again. Thanks ever so much for your help.

Yes will do. I have been reading the site all night and noticed on "Innocent" thread that he mentioned preparing his folder for court. What would this contain as I probably need to do the same. Also, from reading a bit more I have got the MCOL address and will send my updated schedule of charges to them and ask them to attach it to my claim, is this correct? Should Natwest reigistered office get a copy too?

Hi there

Is that the one titled "Basic Court bundle" about 40 pages long? Do I have to include all my statements relating to the claim? As it goes back 5 years that would be one hell of a lot of photocopying and a massive postage bill or am I misunderstanding?

Hi Deller, I have been off line for a few weeks as I have been in hospital. However, back to full fitness now and could do with more of the help you offered. Have received a copy of their defence and a request for furhter info & clarification from cobs today.The defence scares me as it is so full of legal jargon I fail to understand most of. They say they need a copy of my charges but I have already sent 3. It says I have to provide a response in accordance with CPR part 18 by 22/01/07. tThe request has 4 points I have to respnd to. Can you guide me a bit please ???

Deep breath..... here goes. Have completed my AQ (N149) and after much reading around the site have used the new response to "other info - section G" and included a "Draft Order for Directions" I know it says you wont have to meet your 14 day deadline until the judge says so but just need a bit of moral support and confirmation that what I read is correct. Thanx

Tony

Another couple of questions sorry.

1.Do I have to photocopy my AQ and Draft Order and send it to Cobbs?

2. Who do I make the Cheque for £100 out to?

3. Do I have to send another schedule of my charges with AQ?


Thanks

Tony

received copy of Cobbetts AqQ today. Under other info they have put.."case management directions cant be proposed until the claimant serves a reply to the request for further info which was due on 22/1/07. In light of this the defendant may amend its defence or apply to strike it out"

But I did reply and they got it on the 11/1/07. it was the reply in the templates re CPR 18 as advised. Is this another scare tactic coz it has worked!!

Can you pour calm on my troubled waters??

Thanks Deller, is this a new thing they are using or par for the course? You start to doubt yourself and the Royal Mail when things like this happen!! Good job I have receipts for all I have posted and copied to the Court too.

Received letter from Cobbetts yesterday offering partial settlement with conditions attached. I cant seem to find a letter in the Templates to refuse it. The only one I can see is one to reject the initial part offer from the bank. Any help please?
