    • The Contract itself The airport is actually owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. There should be an authority from them for Bristol airport group  to sign on their behalf. Without it the contract is invalid. The contract has so many  clauses redacted that it is questionable as to its fairness with regard to the Defendants ability to receive a fair trial. In the case of WH Holding Ltd, West Ham United Football Club Ltd -v- E20 Stadium LLP [2018],  In reaching its decision, the Court gave a clear warning to parties involved in litigation: ‘given the difficulties and suspicions to which extensive redaction inevitably gives rise, parties who decide to adopt such an appropriate in disclosure must take enhanced care to ensure that such redactions are accurately made, and must be prepared to suffer costs consequences if they are not’. The contract is also invalid as the signatories are required to have their signatures co-signed by independent witnesses. There is obviously a question of the date of the signatures not being signed until 16 days after the start of the contract. There is a question too about the photographs. They are supposed to be contemporaneous not taken several months before when the signage may have been different or have moved or damaged since then. The Defendant respectfully asks the Court therefore to treat the contract as invalid or void. With no contract there can be no breach. Indeed even were the contract regarded as valid there would be no breach It is hard to understand why this case was brought to Court as there appears to be no reasonable cause to apply to the DVLA.............
    • Danny - point taken about the blue paragraphs.  Including them doesn't harm your case in any way.  It makes no odds.  It's just that over the years we've had judges often remarking on how concise & clear Caggers' WSs have been compared to the Encyclopaedia Britannica-length rubbish that the PPCs send, so I always have a slight preference to cut out anything necessary. Don't send off the WS straight away .. you have plenty of time ... and let's just say that LFI is the Contract King so give him a couple of days to look through it with a fine-tooth comb.
    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.

    • 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.

Hi,

 

I have received a letter before claim from CST Law. My son has been living in a block of flats since July 2019 with his own allocated parking space that you can only access with a key fob and was given a parking permit( which I guess he didn't display on this occasion).

 

As the car is registered in my name I am the the person the letter is address to.

 

The original notice to keeper states the reason for the pcn as 'without a valid permit or authority'  nothing about not displaying a valid permit.

 

They have recently put a new 'sticker over their signage stating 'PERMIT HOLDERS ONLY PARKING IN ALLOCATED BAYS WITH A PERMIT CLEARLY DISPLAYED IN THE FRONT WINDSCREEN' 

 

I also have 2 further notice to keeper letters from UKCPS.

 

I have read his tenancy agreement and it states as follows

 

7.23 Car Parking
7.23.1 To park private vehicle(s) only at the Premises.
7.23.2 To park in the space allocated to the Premises, if the Tenant is allocated a car
parking space.
7.23.3 To park in the garage or the driveway to the Premises if applicable.
7.23.4 To keep any garage, driveway, or parking space free of oil and to pay for the
removal and cleaning of any spillage caused by a vehicle of the Tenant, his family,
contractors or visitors.
7.23.5 To remove all vehicles belonging to the Tenant, his family or visitors at the end of
the Tenancy.
7.23.6 Not to park any vehicle at the Premises that is not in road worthy condition and
fully taxed.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I only have until the 30th May to respond.

 

Thanks

 

WB

You need to send a snotty letter to the fleecers which makes it quite clear you would be big trouble if they took you to court and they would end up with a huge hole in their wallet.

 

The good news is that residential parking cases are nigh on impossible for the con artists to win as your son will almost certainly have Supremacy of Contract.

 

UKCPS and the other PPCs are also often too lazy/arrogant to follow the legal time frames when they send out their bilge, so please complete the following

Very difficult for them to ground a claim in a key fob entry parking space especially if the vehicle was parked by the Resident in their allocated Bay, they have been known to invoice where wa hire car was parked by Resident as own vehicle in garage and permit stilll in it.  As FTMDave indicates Supremacy of Contract would apply.  Are there pictures of Signage as was originally? There is nothing in the Tenancy Agreement that stipul;ates they are beholden to a PPC fleecer nor display a permit.  Snotty Letter time You say your son is using the vehicle, so as he can demise the parking to a guest or visitor, might be better you respond as Keepwer, wait for the team to give their thoughts first.

 

Here is some reading from Parking Prankster on Residential parking, you might gain some insight into the PPC shenanigans from this.

Under PoFA Schedule 4 section 8 there are several things where the NTK does not comply. S8 states that the Notice MUST , among other things it must give the period of time that the car was parked. Putting just the claimed time of the alleged offence is not a period of time.

 

Also the relevant land description is insufficient to identify the parking place. Manor mills could be anywhere as there are at least two different  postcodes within Manor Mills.

8[f] 

(f)warn the keeper that if, at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to keeper is given—

(i)the amount of the unpaid parking charges (as specified under paragraph (c) or (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;

 

The Notice must contain these words and yet (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) is not included. These three errors should render the NTK not compliant with PoFA

 

If there is nothing in your son's lease about permits then UKCPS may be guilty of trespass and breaching your GDPR.

no just look at our snotty letter examples

and a case of another vanishing windscreen PCN..how unusual for ukcps...:pound:

 

dx

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

That is strange  that they should say that there was a windscreen ticket and your son said there wasn't. Do the photos of your car show the PCN on the windscreen?

If not then they are probably claiming that there was so that they can send  the NTK late but still claim it iwas on time because they claimed it was w/s ticket.

The good news is that without the ticket and therefore the PCN arriving at the wrong time, they cannot hold you responsible as the keeper. So do not divulge who was driving and there is nothing they can do to claim money from you.

Think son was using the car and forgot to pu as permit on was that correct?  Even if he was using it, he has the authority under the TA to park there and no mention in TA of a fleecer's permit needed, so best not let them know who was driving yet, either way as he can demise authority to park to you as he appears to have Supremacy of Contract, and its a Gated park so no one can get in without an implied authority, they are pretty screwed .  Others will be able to give more advice on that point if they go for court after a suitably snotty letter.

I see they have added the £60 Unicorn Feed tax that cannot be applied to the Keeper. There is a particular case to quote in any snotty letter that labels that charge an abuse of process.

any idea where i will find that

 

I am also struggling to find letter examples.

 

sorry i am not very good on this website 

 

so far i have written this as my letter which I have taken from another thread

 

Dear CST LAW

 

I write in response to your Letter Before Claim, received in relation to PCN [edited - HB] issued by UKCPS for alleged parking breaches.

 

I am writing to confirm that I have no intention of paying the made-up sum of money for allegedly breaking a contract with your client.

 

Apart from the fact that this is a key fob entry car park, and the vehicle was parked in the correct allocated space, the tenancy agreement issued makes no mention of having to display a permit.

 

Should your client wish to proceed with this claim, I will be seeking recovery of costs based on unreasonable behaviour as well as damages for breach of GDPR.

Hi.

 

Well done for getting a first draft together. I've edited out the PCN number, just in cse.

 

See what the others think but I'm not sure about your third paragraph. You could be giving away too much about how you plan to fight this. People should be along later to advise.

 

HB

Illegitimi non carborundum

Plan A.  I'd be tempted to write

 

Dear CST Law,

 

SUPREMACY OF CONTRACT.

 

Get lost!

 

Yours ...

 

However, as HB says, there is always a fine line to be walked between showing them you know the law and would be big trouble in court, and playing your cards too early which gives the other side time to make up lies to counter your potential defence.  So Plan B

 

Dear CST Law,

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  It cheered me up no end!  I had a great laugh at the idea that you think motorists would really take such tripe seriously and cough up.

 

So, you know and I know and now you know that I know all the reasons why such residential parking cases are complete pants.  How many times has your client been hammered in court in such cases?  If they want another spanking, then go ahead and issue your claim.

 

I see your greedy clients couldn't resist sticking in some Unicorn Food Tax.  F0HM9E9Z.  Lewes.  Go and look it up.

 

I quite fancy a trip to a Green List country this summer and your clients' financing it after an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) would do nicely.

 

I look forward to your deafening silence.

 

Yours ...

 

You have a little while yet before you need to reply to the fleecers.  Hang on and see what the other regulars think.

As no-one has objected, get the Plan B letter sent off tomorrow.  I've made a little tweak at the end.

Send a copy to CST Law, and another to UKCPS, two 2nd class stamps, two free Certificates of Posting.  The reason I say to do this is that CST Law are not a proper company of solicitors, they are a section of a dodgy debt collection agency, and in this murky world of backstabbing I'm sure dodgy Company A would love dodgy Company B to start a hopeless court case if there was ££££ in it.  Let UKCPS also know that they'd be on to a hiding in court.
