    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

My credit file states no court orders or adverse.

I cant match the reference number on the letter to the reference number on the ccj and i have no previous letters, cards or other ways of checking.

 

I’m fairly confident its the same debt but cant be 100% certain.

Ive always felt that if and when the time came I would have to settle as although they didn't have proof i was unaware of the case and they got the judgement.

 

I still don’t believe the debt was mine but not sure how i move forward.

They have the judgement so I assume i have to pay?

no you don't have to pay 

but you certainly need to tell them of you correct address

I've merged the threads as you appear to say its the same amount as the CCJ

though you say the CCJ is not showing?
are all your past addresses showing on your credit file?

 

as with that robbersway and ex Barclaycard debt thread advises you should really be writing to everyone that owns any of your old debts paid or used within the last 7 yrs informing them of your correct and present address.

else more backdoor CCJ's will be gained.

I genuinely don't know who may have a claim as it was with a dmp that was with my ex. I have no paperwork or current credit and my file does not show the ccj or all my old addresses. 
My biggest concern now is they surely will want payment. Should I confirm my address and query the debt then wait for next steps?

so your old addresses are not showing on your credit file?

I have just checked again, there is no adverse credit showing and my address is out of date even though i updated the electoral role when i moved a couple of years back. The only searches are from energy providers and the score is fair. I have no credit and no previous credit showing.

so you need to contact whichever credit file provider you are using asking them to update your file with all these addresses (list them)

then to alert you when its done

you can possibly do this by messenger system on your account.

IMHO you need to write to them informing them of your present and correct address 

head the letter with their ref number.

I have.now sent two letters to Cabot and both have been ignored.

 

I have now received another letter which looks pretty standard stating we have now confirmed your address,

you have taken the first step and suggesting i set up-an account and start paying.

Good, so now ignore them too until/unless you get a letter of claim?

Still had no written response but have now received a couple of texts stating that a personal letter is waiting for me and i may find it useful to log on via the link.

 

I’m curious but also reluctant as I feel that any communication could be done by letter in response to mine.

 

Any suggestions?

Right, that didn’t take long.

I have now received a letter from them with a stack of paperwork claiming for 2 accounts.

The main one explains the account which is on ccj

last paid via stepchange in July 2013 and then subsequently The ccj obtained via Restons in 2016 due to my lack of defence.

The original credit agreement dated 2003 is included.


The other account they state has no documentation but they believe i owe it due to payments via stepchange.

The inference is they want to work with me on a suitable payment.

 

The remainder of the documentation shows payments via stepchange stopped in 2013 and various cc statements none with any signatures or showing who made the payment.

 

I’m 100% sure that no payment to stepchange came from my accounts they were all from my ex.

 

I’m  guessing the account with ccj I need to find a suitable payment solution and the other account i send a prove it letter?

forget the pointless prove it letters - just stupid letter tennis.

One is the mbna credit card which Restons obtained the ccj on in 2016. Presumably i have to do something about this to avoid possible bailiffs?
The other is stated as Barclaycard which they advise they have no documentation but believe i owe It as paid via stepchange in July 2013. Is this not statute barred?

cant see a thread on this reston and who's CCJ ...??

if its anything like your old HFC loan, you got cash cowed blind as they charged your post judgemental interest when there was no order too.

 

as for the BC one...no paperwork - no pay ignore them.

Sorry, this thread is a bit confusing

 

effectively i found out a couple of years ago that i had a ccj which was obtained by Restons solicitors on behalf of Cabot in Feb 2016. 

 

A few months ago Cabot contacted me to confirm my address

after a couple of letters back and forth as per advice

 

they have now sent a letter explaining i owe this money and I should contact them.

Additionally they added the details about the Barclaycard but no evidence.

Who said blindly enter into stupid letter tennis??

 

Quite honestly until you get notification that any of your ,CCJ owners are returning to court to enforce a judgement

I'd stop paying everyone on any historic debts

As long as you've written telling them of you correct address

Hi, just to be clear in post 58 you advised writing to them and giving my correct address which i did and they ignored it.

I sent a second letter and that was also ignored until now.

 

 I haven’t had any other communication and any payment made was in 2013 from my ex’s account via Stepchange. 

I haven't offered or made any payments to anyone since then.


Just to be clear are you saying that unless I'm contacted about enforcing a judgement I ignore any further communication? They do state that normal collection processes will commence if they don't hear from me in 21 days.

 

Also i do appreciate your advice and I will be making a donation because the work you do is brilliant.

 

Apologies that my explanations aren’t always clear but it is a bit daunting.

I thought i was back on my feet after a disastrous divorce in 2013 but i got the ccj so have to face up to the fact it may be enforced. Thanks again.

 

Donation made, thanks very much. Hopefully others will donate as this site needs to continue.

no they would have to return to a court and that court would inform you of such request.

What concerns me is that although the ccj was obtained in Feb 2016 it is only because they didn't have my address that further action probably wasn't taken until now.

 

It's evident that I wouldn't have grounds for a set aside so presumably they have a further 2 years to attempt recovery?

 

On the original ccj there was a court fee of £410 and £100 solicitors fee added to the total.

The fact they have now sent me the info and hold me responsible (which in the eyes of the law i am)

why would they not simply apply back to court for enforcement and then add more costs for doing this,

 

or are you saying to wait it out until that time comes

and then negotiate ?
