    • @Kahunaburger I have a feeling you have a LOC on the way, from those lovely people at ALLIANCE PARKING. We got one a few weeks back for the same NTK date and location as yours .. 🤬

    • I do disagree with you regarding one thing - we are not very good with letters or these situations and are slow on the uptake. So far you have stood up to Excel and their threats, immediately given us the information in the sticky, done loads of reading up to educate yourselves, learnt from the mistake of outing the driver so you'll know not to do so in the future, got on to the organ grinder to try to get them to call off their dogs, etc., etc.  Good grief - we wish everyone who came here would do this!!! Most people who get these invoices sadly think they have been fined and if they don't pay a drone from Ukraine will be diverted and will fall on their home (or some such vague grand apocalyptic threat) and they fold and give in.  You haven't.  Well done. Don't worry - you won't be paying a penny.  Although it will take some time to see off this vile company.
    • Spot on!  You learn quickly. Who cares if the case gets sent to debt collectors?  They have no powers.  All the effort you will have to put in will be to open envelopes - and then spend time laughing at their daft "threats".  No stress at all!
    • I did ask them why, but seems they have more spare cash than we do .. ;-( .. I doubt their bank would even support a chargeback after a year has passed. Anyway I've constructed my first DRAFT Snotty Letter .. so here goes ..   RE: PCN 4xxxxx Dear ALLIANCE PARKING Litigation Dept, Thank you for your dubious Letter Of Claim (dated 29th April 2024) of £100 for just 2 minutes of overstay. The family rolled around on the floor in amazement of the idea you actually think they’d accept this nonsense, let alone being confused over the extra unlawful £70 you had added. Shall we raise that related VAT issue with HMRC, or perhaps the custodians of the unicorn grain silos? Apart from the serious GDPR breach you’ve made with the DVLA and your complete failure in identifying the driver, we’re dumbfounded that the PCN is still not compliant with the PoFA (2012 Schedule 4 Under Section 9.2.f) even after 12 years of pathetic trial and error. We also doubt a judge would be very impressed at your bone idleness and lack of due diligence regarding the ANPR entry / exit periods compared with actual valid parking periods. Especially with no consideration of the legally allowed grace periods and the topological nature of the Cornish landscape versus a traditional multi-storey. And don’t even get us started on the invisible signage during the ultra busy bank holiday carnage, that is otherwise known as the random parking chaos in the several unmarked over-spill fields, or indeed the tedious “frustration of contract” attempting to get a data connection to Justpark.  We suggest your clients drop this extreme foolishness or get an absolute hammering in court. We are more than ready to raise the issues with a fair minded judge, who will most likely laugh your clients out in less time than it takes to capture more useless ANPR photos. We will of course be requesting “an unreasonable costs order” under CPR 27.14.2.g and put it toward future taxis to Harlyn Bay instead.  We all look forward to your clients' deafening silence. Legal Counsel on behalf of the Vehicle Keeper.

    • 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.

Honestly I would like it out of the way asap, it might not even take the full duration. I can do this for a short duration and honestly 2 or 3 large chunks suits me better than an ongoing smaller chunk every month

Don't get had. They only paid <£200 for the debt.

True but I assume at this point they hold all the power and have done the digging so no need for them to be too generous. + a day ago I thought it was going to be £1800+ so dont wanna push my luck.

Also I know how I am and having a strict target will motivate me more than it becoming another monthly payment.

Just received this email from solicitors in response to my request to pay over 3 months.

------

As you are aware, an application has been made requesting Summary Judgment and the matter has been transferred to Warwick County Court, however, we have not yet received notice of the hearing date.

Our client is still happy for you to pay the settlement offer; however, it needs to be made prior to the yet to be listed hearing. Should the settlement set out in our previous letter not be received in full prior to 5 days before the court hearing then we remain instructed to conclude court proceedings.

We can confirm that we are not instructed to halt proceedings on the basis of instalments, but if the total settlement sum is received in advance of the hearing due to be listed (whether made in one payment or several payments) then it will be accepted as settlement.

 

We enclose a copy of our information sheet which includes our bank details and information on how to pay.

For the avoidance of doubt, our client does not intend to ask you to pay more than you can afford or to put you into financial difficulties, it simply needs to protect its position with regards this outstanding debt, and these Court proceedings need to reach a conclusion. If the debt is secured by way of a County Court Judgment, a new and affordable arrangement can be discussed.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to contact our offices on the details within this letter. If you are unsure as to the court proceedings, we suggest you seek independent legal advice.

----

Any thoughts on this?

 

I plan to just make a payment next week and stick to my reasonable offer. Should I tell them this?

Any ideas on the timeline here?, its 2 weeks since I got the letter from the court.

I just want to keep the due amount where it is and avoid the ccj at this point.

All subject to the hearing date from what they say, 5 days before which is yet unknown either full or in instalment's...rather strange confusing response.

I would advise you respond and agree and get that first payment away asap.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes this was my plan, I suspect it’s because the previous letter stated paid in full by the 29th so they are extending that date  to 5 days before whatever date the hearing is.


I’ll send £500 on Tuesday and inform them of my plan to clear it before the hearing.

Yes sorry.

I dont remember exactly what happened but a couple of days before the court date I got a letter from the solicitor saying the balance was £72 and they wont be pursuing it further then a week later a statement from Cabot stating I didnt need to do anything.
