    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?

    • 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,

 

Recently I had to take a family member for the first time to Northampton Hospital for an appointment. It was raining and there was construction underway in one of the carparks so somehow I ended up in a car park where it was not clear but apparently it was a staff car park.

 

I had no idea and used the JustPark app to pay for parking as there was a pay meter right there.

 

When I got back to the car I saw a yellow love letter on my windshield with a PCN. Oblivious to this being a staff car park I contested the PCN 🙊 (...I know .. )

 

Weeks later I got a reply from the heartless case worker who basically said too bad, you have 14 days now to pay the reduced amount of £40. 

 

Attached are all the files, is there any advice you have for me? Should i just pay it? 

 

It's sad that even though I paid for parking in the wrong section and I had a letter showing I was in the hospital attending an appointment, that these devils still want to grab money. 

 

Thanks for reading and any advice would really be appreciated!

 

Regards,

chris

moved you to the private parking forum as this is nothing to do with any local authority nor is it a fine.

 

it is a speculative invoice and to all intent and purpose should have been IGNORED

and most certainly never appealed as you've dobbed yourself in as the driver now and removed all protection under POFA2012.

 

pers id ignore everything now until/unless you ever get a letter of claim.

 

please complete this:

Thanks so much for replying.

 

Sure, apologies for not completing before as I stupidly just uploaded the documents without completing this info:

 

1 The date of infringement?

01/12/21

 

2 Have you yet appealed to the parking company yet? [Y/N?]

YES (uploaded previously in initial post) ; I told them I had a valid ticket for that time paid for with JustPark app and using the parking code I saw on the parking meter nearby. 
 

Has there been a response?

YES ; They paused the "14 days half price" until they replied recently and said, unfortunately the charge is for parking in a staff only car park and the £40 half price was now counting down in terms of 14 days. I had no idea, it was raining, there was construction underway ...
 

Have you received a Notice To Keeper? (NTK) [must be received by you between 29-56 days]

NO
 

What date is on it?

n/a

 

Did the NTK provide photographic evidence?

no mention of any photo evidence

 

3 Did the NTK mention Schedule 4 of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (PoFA) [Y/N?]

The response to my appeal mentioned POPLA and gave me a code

 

4 If you appealed after receiving the NTK,

did the parking company give you any information regarding the further appeals process?

[it is well known that parking companies will reject any appeal whatever the circumstances]

NO
 

5 Who is the parking company?

CP PLUS on the PCN ; appeal was replied to by GROUP NEXUS

 

6. Where exactly [Carpark name and town] did you park?

NORTHAMPTON GENERAL HOSPITAL

Sorry for sounding daft, I read the sticky and the post but just wanted to confirm I got the message right. Would it be appropriate to take the chance now and not respond to the NTK? So just ignore all communication until I get a letter from a legal entity (court)?

 

Thanks again and apologies for asking

Thanks! So in your opinion do you think I should ignore communications until I get a letter of claim? Or would it be best to just pay the £40 (even though it pains me to say that)

god no!!

 

 

 

if you dont understand the above

then instead of disappearing for a month

it might of paid you to have used this time wisely..to read a good few 10's of threads in this very same forum as yours under our mantra of self help...

Thanks. 

 

On a side note I didn't disappear, I was firstly waiting for the ntk which took ages to arrive and then I fell seriously ill. I also did read as much as I could but not all of the stories were exactly like mine so had doubts

i was hinting you didnt need to await the NTK to self help...

 

the course of these speculative invoice scams are in the majority exactly same process, you just appealed (as have many many others) etc before you came here and that's understandable but next time don't.

 

self helping will prevent any more mistakes going forward...

and if you also look for PCN threads with letter of claim or PAPLOC or LOC in their title too, you'll see what they look like and how to respond IF you ever get one.

 

but please never do anything further going forward without checking back here

The Notice to keeper  is out of date. 

 

If you didn't reveal who was driving when you appealed that means that they cannot transfer the debt from the driver to you the keeper. They have acknowledged this on the NTK by not mentioning that they could transfer the liability.

 

Now they can only take you to Court as the driver not the keeper. And they need to be put to strict proof who the driver was as they cannot assume in Court that the driver and the keeper are the same person.

 

so definitely do not contact them again so they cannot work out who the driver was.
