    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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 CAG,

 

I received a PCN for an 11-minute stay in the KFC car park (8:50am - 9:01am) on May 30. It seems this place is known to some people on this site. I have completed the questionnaire information and attached a pdf of the PCN. The PCN was received on June 15, presumably a little late as it's a lease car and the paperwork arrived via the lease company.

 

I was not aware of the car park restrictions and briefly parked up to drink a coffee (purchased from the drive-through McDonald's, next door). For an 11-minute stay at a time when the KFC was shut I find the fine of £100 (£60 if paid within 14-days) excessive and any assistance is most appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Hi, welcome to CAG.

 

Thank you for posting up the information, it will help us to advise you. I see it's Parking Eye again and by the way, it isn't a fine, it's a speculative invoice to us.

 

They're on a sticky wicket with 11 minutes I'd say, see what the others think when they get here.

 

Best, HB

We could do with some help from you.

Is it me or is this the second invoice PE have spat out, that I have seen, that doesn't say what the alleged breach is?

Thanks for the helpful suggestions everyone and thanks for spotting that part of the PCN was missing. I have now attached this so people can see the Parking Charge Information. 

 

I will take a look at the car park signage later today and post pictures on here. In the meantime I will sit tight until/if I receive a letter of claim.

 

Thanks

  • dx100uk changed the title to ParkingEye PCN - lease car - 11 mins stay - KFC Ellesemere Centre, Walkden

Well what is it PE, was the stay authorised or unauthorised what is the breach of your fictitious T&C's?

 

They're not even certain of their own T&C's, first they mention 'by ''remaining'' at the car park for longer than the stay authorised OR without authorisation'' Which is it?

 

And then if you remain in the car park for longer than zero hours and zero minutes, so you can't even drive through it, then you agree to pay their invoice??

 

They really are thicker than a submarine door.

Hello,

 

I've nipped down to the car park today and taken photos of the signage (attached).

 

There are two entrances to the car park.

 

Image 1 shows the sign for the first entrance.

I entered in the other entrance (image 2) displaying s small yellow sign advising the car park is for the use of KFC customers.

 

Once you enter the car park there is a larger sign with more information (Image 3).

 

This is not visible until you are inside the car park as the sign is facing the opposite way to the other two.

 

Thanks

Well that's it then.

 

You went in the entrance which simply said you had to be a KFC customer, which you intended to be.

 

Once you worked out it was closed and read the signage you promptly left, in all of 11 minutes. 

 

Their signage is rubbish and you've proved it.  Well done on digging up this evidence.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Everyone,

 

On May 30th 2021 I received a PCN for an 11-minute stay in the KFC Walkden car park (8:50am - 9:01am). See above for details.

 

After receiving the excellent advice on here and not having received a letter of claim from PE I assumed the matter was closed, especially given that it was from over a year ago. However, I have today received a letter from Direct Collection Bailiffs (DCBL) title ‘Notice of Debt Recovery – Unpaid Parking Charge of £170’ and instructed to make a payment within 14-days. 

 

Any advice on how to proceed/react to this letter is gratefully appreciated.

 

Thanks

if you read carefully it says they are not operating as a bailiff

just another powerless DCA whom can never be bailiffs .

Thanks for the previous  advice.

 

Since the letter referred to in my last post, I have received three further letters.

 

The first was a 'final reminder', followed by a 'Final notice of debt recovery'.

 

Today I received the latest titled, 'Notice of intended legal action'.

 

I have not responded to any of these, nor the original ones a year ago.

 

I'm just seeking reassurance that I should continue ignoring these letters from DCBL?

 

Thanks

You said it yourself... I will await a letter of claim from PE themselves.

 

Only the owner of a debt or a solicitor operating on behalf of their stated client - the owner..  can issue a letter of claim.

 

A DCA is not a solicitor.

They are not BAILIFFS

And have 

ZERO legal powers on any debt no matter what it's type 

 

Doesn't hurt to read a few PE PCN threads here too so you answer your own questions now and going forward - CAG is predominantly self help too
