    • Quick update. I've now recieved a letter before action from them with a PAP form to return enclosed, still no credit agreement however. I assume just a case of following the PAP thread and returning form with no CCA as the reason?
    • Thanks for coming back and letting us know. Obviously we totally disagree with their decision.  Their remortgaging could only have gone wrong if they had ended up with a CCJ.  And how do you get a CCJ?  If you lose in court and then defy the court and don't pay.  Even if you lose in court, you don't get a CCJ as long as you pay within the 30 days ordered by the court.  Even had they lost in court the judge would have disallowed the interest and the £70 Unicorn Food Tax that PE made up.  There was no advantage whatsoever for giving in and paying now. But thanks to you for letting us know - a hell of a lot of users don't.
    • Hi everyone.   Before I say anything, TFL finally responded to the email I sent last week:   Thank you for your email, we acknowledge the signed documents you have returned in preparation for your hearing.   We note that this matter is causing you some stress and anxiety, however this is not a reason for TfL to discontinue proceedings. It is not unusual for passengers that have been summonsed to court to experience these symptoms, and we do have some empathy with your concerns.   However, as previously stated, TfL do not accept out of court settlements, and you will have the opportunity at your hearing, to provide your mitigation to the court prior to a decision being reached by them on how they intend to deal with this matter (usually a fine).   I am sorry that this decision is not more favourable.   Yours sincerely   James Vallis     At least he sounds more sympathetic in this email…   Only one week to go until the court hearing and I am so so nervous. I’ve prepared some questions and answers in preparation for what to say to the magistrate. It will help calm me down if I know roughly what to expect. If you could give feedback on it that would be great. If you have anything to add please do let me know.   As far as I know the court hearing will happen in these stages: Introduction and statement of facts Pleading guilty for the journeys I made with my mother’s card Penalty sentencing Appeal (if charged with a criminal record)   Am I guilty? Yes.   Why did I not pay the fare legally? Last year there was a lot going on in my life and I was struggling financially so to relieve some of this I used my mother’s Oyster card. I know it’s not an excuse and it’s still wrong.   Why do I not accept a criminal record? I really don’t want it to affect my chances of finding a job in the future. I will be the one earning money in my family so I am doing my best and studying hard to be able to get a good job. A criminal record would mean that regardless of how hard I’m working I won’t get the job I want after I graduate. This fills me with so much regret, sadness and disappointment in myself. I just want to be a good daughter for my mother because she’s already had to deal with many hardships in her life and I don’t want to make it any harder for her.

    • 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.

In my last thread it was Gladstone’s who were dealing with 2 pcn’s but now this is DCB Legal who are dealing with this third pcn that I had no clue about.

 

DCB wrote a Letter of Claim on 4th November and I presumed they were writing about the other 2 pcns as I thought Gladstone’s had sold the debt to new legal company so I ignored it. 

 

Attached is the letter I got from DCB Legal on 4th November

I don't suppose you have the PCN that was issued back in 2017? if yes please post it up. Things must be bad with UKPC if they are swapping Gladstones for DCBL. Tweedledee and Tweedledum could do a better job than either of these two companies who laughingly refer to themselves as solicitors.

 

Can you not scan the Letter of Claim.? If you read the letter it will explain when to provide a defence and the AOS.

Hello,  no I don’t have the PCN from 2017 I don’t live at the old address since jan 2018 and can’t remember it at all. The letter of claim I will re upload and delete the personal details and then I will add the court claim
 

I know from a bit of research last night I have to complete my AOS but do not know what to plead or how to deal with my defence at all. Thank you for your help

You were visiting someone living in the flats?

 

this will i expect is a classic case of a vanishing windscreen ticket? (As you didnt find one on the car at the time?) As thats what ukpc are masters at. They usually pay back handers to a local resident to take photos of offenders and dob them in to ukpc. Thats totally illegal.

 

the paperwork will be very interesting and i bet they'll try and fake it and i bet youll find the ntk will be dated within 29 days of the 'event'

I honestly can’t even remember it was so long ago and I use to live in the flats though that’s why I parked there.

 

I remember getting a ticket once for parking in a wrong bay but that was because someone had parked in my bay and I had 2 kids and was pregnant so parked in another bay as I wasn’t well at the time.

 

I got another one for parking in my bay and not displaying a permit but I don’t know which this ticket could be for? 

 

Both tickets I got I ignored.

see if you can get them to copy/send/check their deeds and tenancy agreement

i bet parking is mentioned so you would have supremacy of contract.

 

do you remember if you were allocated parking or got passes or whatever?

I have responses to the AOS on the MCOL website and got confirmation.

 

I am sending the letter to the solicitors I typed up tomorrow.

Should I send as recorded first class or just first class free proof of postage?

 

I’m trying to get a copy of my tenancy agreement or one of my old neighbours.

In the meantime is there anything else I need to do to start my defence? 
 

will I have to go to court?

My anxiety and panic attacks are so bad I can’t even think about going to a court room right now

 

once again thank you so much for your help, I feel like I have done the first step with your help and now need to keep going 🙏🏻

1sy class free POP will do

they dont reply anyway.

 

stop panicking about a stupid parking invoice and court IF IF IF it ever gets that far, poss months and months away yet.

what you think court is like is not what you think as per TV etc, its very informal, just like a table meeting in a way.

 

defence is due by day 33 from the claimform date ..go work that out as advised twice now 

 

dont file early 

post it up here FIRST

use our std 3 -5 line generic non descript defence in most PCN claimform threads already here on CAG.

It was the one that resulted in your post 1 answers

 

 

But you'd do far better in using the time till 10th (you get one extra day due to xmas/ new year) to read a good few 10's of pcn claimform threads here so you understand WHY you are stating what you will file.

 

the more you read the stronger we become.

I’ve done some reading last night and this morning and have the following to use in my defence.

 

Signage - It’s hard because I’m not sure where my car was parked as to what angle I need to take photos of the signage and it was back in 2017 so may have changed and been updated since then? I remember a sign was graffitied on once and was very unclear to read 

 

I was pregnant and in January was suffering with awful sickness and migraines. 
 

The parking was on private land and having requested this information have nothing received the proof?

Your main thrust will be supremacy of contract, but that might only come into play  at disclosures stage.

1. The location in which I received this Private Parking Notice is Private Land that Swan Housing Association own, and I paid rent to at the time.

 

2. I was pregnant at the time of the PCN with my third child, born 03/07/2017, I was also looking after my 2 other children. I was of high risk pregnancy which involved me having more frequent hospital appointments due to high blood pressure and migraines. I do not remember any PCN being attached to my windscreen that’s was in relation to this PCN.

 

3. The signs within the car park were regularly graffitied on and vandalised.

 

4. The claimants notices attempt to make a forbidding offer, which isn’t an offer at all; therefore no contract exists.

 

5. There can be no legitimate interest in issuing charges to residents, as the parking scheme is aimed at external ‘abusers’

 

Thank you
