    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 All,

On behalf of my parents:
 

1 Date of the infringement: 12/04/2021
 

2 Date on the NTK: 11/06/2021
 

3 Date received: 17/06/2021
 

4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? NO
 

5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? YES – But time/date stamps not readable
 

6 Have you appealed? No
 

Have you had a response? No
 

7 Who is the parking company? Excel Parking Services Ltd

 

8. Where exactly:  Site/Name on PCN/NTK = Three Spires Shopping Centre Short Stay Car Parks, Lichfield, WS13 6JF

Actual site name (wrote next to machine) =  Short Stay Car Park, Backcester Lane

 

Appeals body they operate under:  IAS

Mother is a Blue Badge holder (father is driver) with Mobility Vehicle in her name. Not a  company secretary as indicated on the PCN/NTK. 
Car Park site was operated/ran by Lichfield Council for the past 20yrs+, up until the Shopping Centre has taken it back on as of 1st March - spoke to Shopping Centre Manager who confirmed that Excel did not change the signage until 23rd March.
For the last 20yrs+, the parking has always been Free parking for disabled badge holders (also confirmed on Google Street View - dated Sep 2020).

This was their first time out of the house since March 2020, mother is classed as vulnerable, she would of been able to go out in July 2020, but fell and broke her hip - hospital stays meant further Isolation periods upto announcement that everyone was back inside..

Parents did not pay the £1.00 and have received notice for £100.

As you can see from date of incident to date of issue has been 60days.
Excel state they have 60 days to obtain the information from DVLA as per the International Parking Community (IPC)

There is also no notification on the Local Authority (Lichfield District Council) or any other site that states Blue Badge holders will have to pay following the transfer to Excel.

Please note my parents are not tech savvy, do not use the internet or have smart phone (an old flip phone works for them)

Additional note: 
I have today gone to the site to check the signage - whilst I was there 5 people had issues paying (not accepting money):
One man rang the helpline was instructed to use the payment machine on the other level - which is closed off to the public, informed the representative who then stated to pay by to be informed to either pay by App or Online - he stated he did not have card, they hung up.


A woman tried to pay online and via the App which refused the site code and name - same person stated it has been the same since they took over the site, when she's complained she has always been told to buy a Monthly Permit.

this appears to be an ANPR capture

so as they didn't find a windscreen ticket on their car when they returned to it...PE are out of time for sending the NTK (they had 14 days)....as per the sticky you did and read

 

...ignore everyone until/unless they get a letter of claim

I understand and can advise my parents.

As to what reason are they out of time.

Is it due to the fact that they have failed to mention "schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012" and therefore forgo their rights to any such claim?

Edited: found this

- If PoFA isn’t used (either by choice of the parking company, or because they haven’t achieved the requirements), then the keeper could be held liable if the parking company can demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that they were the driver at the time.

This could be achieved, for example, if the driver intentionally or unintentionally reveals they were, or if the parking company has photographic evidence.

They would have a job as the keeper doesnt have a drivers license as it's a mobility vehicle :)

As dx said, Simon had 14 days to send his tripe out, but didn't.

 

What utter filth Excel are, pursuing Blue Badge holders.

 

Did you take photos of the signage?

We could do with some help from you.

Parents didn't take photos back in April - they have a crappy flip phone with no camera or access to internet.

 

I went down today and their is signage that Blue Badge now have to pay. (I have a photo of that)

 

Previously they didn't, as it was run by the local authority for 20+years

Next time you're in the area get photos of everything - the entrance, the ticket machine, etc.  Simon has previous of mixing up Excel and VCS signage or hiding away his conditions in tiny print.  Photos will help us see if he's messed up. 

 

EDIT: also look up if Simon has planning permission for his signs.

where has the above tripe come from?

 

that is legally VERY wrong as NO PPC is allowed to use or nor should or take such evidence as too who was the driver on the day.

Send the LA an email, or give them a call, and ask them if this site has any planning permission for signage/ANPR cameras, usually the quickest way.

As the PCN is out of time [should have been at your parents within 14 days] the charge cannot be transferred from the driver to the keeper despite what the PCN says. So do not divulge the name of the driver to them and there is nothing  Excel can do though they may bluster and threaten to take your Mother to Court.

1st response from Local Authority Planning assistant

Quote

Good morning

 

I have discussed the above with colleagues. If the cameras are attached to an existing building or structure they would most likely be permitted development. However if they are on bespoke poles they would require planning permission. An adverts application would also be required.

 

I have searched and cannot locate a planning application.

 

I would suggest that you contact our Planning Enforcement Team at; [email protected] with full details and they will be able to investigate for you.

 

Email has gone off to the above.

Reply regarding the carpark:

 

Quote

From my research, the only planning applications that I can find in relation to car parks in Gresley Row and Backcester Lane, Lichfield, are L7923 and L8700023.  These are both old applications and all details are only available on microfiche.  None can be found that specifically relate to ANPR cameras and associated signage.

 

Both the car parks in this location are owned by Lichfield District Council.  A local authority has permitted development rights under Part 12, Class A of the Town & Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 to carry out certain works in order to exercise their various functions.  This may include the installation of ANPR cameras and a local authority may also erect advertisements in relation to their functions

So in confused.

LDC used to run the car park (free parking for blue badge) but then Three Spires Shopping took it on & employed Excel to run it.

 

So is the landowner LDC or Three Spires.

Plus it now shows there is no planning submitted by Excel

excel can't inherit PP if LDC are not the land owner.

go look on landregistry site .gov.uk one only!!

 

but use your brains here

the NTK is out of time anyway

Little positive update.

I was scanning through websites looking for information as to when the Shopping Center/Local Authority published the change of ownership/pricing of the car park and came across a local area news site where others have voiced their concerns about the change.

It turns out no publication in local free papers or any other areas had the details except this local news site, the council's page and the shopping centres - 2days before it went into operation.

 

I did a little bit more digging and I found a local council site called Visit Lichfield but below this was also a site called "way back machine" that also had the URL of the visit Lichfield site.

On viewing this site, it showed me when the site pages where changed.

Interestingly the page displaying information about car parking was still showing it was free to Blue Badge holders up until 25th May nearly 90days after the change.

I posted this info on the local news site as there was a local councillor who had been showing interest in the actions of the council's senior figures/shopping centre/excel.. same day she contacted me asking me for the ref number and copy of the blue badge, and she stated that she has had 40+ cancelled directly with the shopping centre since May when excel initially started sending letters.

 

Well about 1hr ago, I received ban email from this councillor just saying "I've received confirmation from Excel Parking your mother's PCN is being cancelled.  They will write to her direct to confirm."

 

I'll await the confirmation but jobs a good un 😁
