    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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 Dx100uk

What have I not done please, refn. your comment .....  "You still have not done"?

My first post #1 had form filled out with all answers in red, if that's what you are referring to??

 

Hello lookinforinfo .... details you requested as follows:-

No photos provided (or taken as far as I'm aware) of me leaving or entering the car park.

I didn't see any ANPR cameras in this car park.

 

There was no ticket left on my windscreen .... just a letter sent to my home address, dated 10th December.

Date / time stamp on the photo on their claim letter shows 8th December date (correct) and time of (i) 15:18.29 car photo and (ii) 15:18:43 the ticket through windscreen photo.

 

On their original PCN letter they sent to me on 10th December it reads ...

"We have issued a Parking Charge Notice xxxxxxx to your vehicle because it was parked in a manner whereby the driver became liable for a parking charge at Charlestown Pay and Display PL25 3NJ that we are authorised to manage on the 8th December 2021 at 15:26.

 

So, they have added on 8 minutes for some reason. 

 

What is a further cheat ... but I can't prove it .... when I purchased the ticket it was 2.12pm, according to my phone, but ticket prints out showing the parking time as up till as 3.07, so five minutes less than an hour!  Didn't really concern me, as I was expecting to be parked for way less than one hour ... Aaaagh!  The injustice!!

So their bilge isn't POFA compliant, meaning they have no-one to sue.

 

The rubbish signage: notice how they put a small sign mentioning the £100 charge next to a large one hoping you won't notice it  https://www.google.it/maps/place/Charlestown+Car+Park/@50.3323384,-4.7587893,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMIxMw7dZXdWXl2Ea_XSi6hNfD5AEIi8xxrZdxz!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMIxMw7dZXdWXl2Ea_XSi6hNfD5AEIi8xxrZdxz%3Dw150-h150-k-no-p!7i3024!8i4032!4m15!1m7!3m6!1s0x486b68cd05764ba9:0x9736310b33701540!2sCharlestown+Rd,+Saint+Austell+PL25+3NJ,+UK!3b1!8m2!3d50.3318005!4d-4.7578078!3m6!1s0x486b68cd3ffe0239:0x6aec77531eb06925!8m2!3d50.3323384!4d-4.7587893!9m1!1b1?hl=en&authuser=0

 

Then you can prove they have lied about the overstay.  The car was photographed at 15:18, not 15:26.

 

15:07 + 0:10  grace period = 15:17, meaning you overstayed by one minute, surely "de minimis".

 

And now there is the matter of you paying for 0:05 you never got.  Is there any way of proving this?  I'm guessing the place isn't local to you.  I read a load of the Google reviews and motorists were complaining about the bays being too small to fit the cars into and getting the fleecers' charges are a result, no mention of the dodgy tickets. 

 

We could do with some help from you.

These are all things you can keep for your Witness Statement which comes sometime after your snotty letter providing they don't cancel in between.

Put them to strict proof that the camera they used to picture your car reflects  the actual time and not a made up figure to strengthen their case.

You did say that you overstayed by 20 minutes. Was that what you thought or were you just going by their times?

I have found more things wrong with their PCN which means that it is not compliant with PoFA. That won't help you if Premier know you were the driver but if they don't know then it becomes doubly difficult for them to prove that the keeper and the driver were the same person. After all anyone with a valid vehicle insurance policy could have driven your car. .

Just to close this one off .... 

 

.... and a thank you to Consumer Action Group (CAG).

 

I did receive a ‘Letter before claim’ from Gladstones in October 2022 and responded as advised by CAG.

 

All was silent till January 2023, when I received another threatening letter telling me to pay up ... or else! 

 

I suppose you could call that letter, “Letter after” the Letter before Claim letter!

 

I responded to that in a similar manner with the guidance I received from CAG ... letter copied below.

 

Extract of letter to Gladstone Solicitors

Dear John & Will

Your Refn:  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I am responding to an unsigned letter from Gladstones, with the above reference, dated 10 January 2023, which I received today.

 

Your letter is simply a re-hash of your ‘Letter Before Claim’ that you sent on 5 October 2022.

 

I responded to that on 6 October 2022.

My position remains the same.

 

Any attempt by Gladstones to obtain a CCJ will be countered by my witness statement, outlining a number of serious flaws in your case.

 

I clearly stated in my letter of 6 October that should you proceed with legal action, after I have clearly pointed out to you the futility of doing so, I will ask the court for an ‘unreasonable costs order’ under CPR 27.14.  This remains my intention.

 

Gladstones method of operation appears to be focussed on harassment and of purposely inflating financial claims.

 

Further harassment from you will leave me with no option but to contact the Solicitors Regulation Authority.

 

I will set out my concerns clearly, identify John Davies and William Hurley as the individuals concerned and as evidence, provide a copy of your 5 October 2022 letter, where you have intentionally claimed higher Claim Form fees than allowed and intentionally inflated your costs ... which you well know are capped at £50.

 

I would class this as dishonest behaviour by Gladstones.  

Yours sincerely

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I think (& hope) it unlikely I will be hearing from Gladstones again .... unless I get ... wait for it;

 

A letter after, the letter after, the Letter before Claim letter!

 

This was not the first occasion I have been helped by CAG.

 

As a thank you and to ensure this site continues to help us mere mortals who are not up to speed with the legal niceties that are necessary to combat all these ‘rogues’,

 

I have sent a financial contribution

Keep up the good work guys! 

From a very appreciative ‘mortal’.

hi dx

nothing cancelled 'officially' as such ... but as they have not attempted a CCJ following their threat to do so in letter of October 2022, and just followed that threat with yet another 'begging letter' last month,

 

then I'm assuming they have realised they have no chance of winning any action ...

and with the additional real risk of having some costs made against them if they did.

 

They have consigned this one to the, "ooops, this one can bite back" file ... no further action!

Well James,

I hope your optimism is borne out by any lack of further action on the fleecer's part, but without something in writing... if you move house within the next six years, be sure to let them know!
