    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

Is there an appeals process I can follow?

 

I’ve been back on my SAR from sky and the representative has clearly stated that the TV was restricted so there was nothing to cancel.

 

It’s only when my ex has started paying it that is was activated again. 

 

The judge was quite obnoxious and accepted a fiction/fantasy story from the claimants that I had “forgot” to cancel the TV aswell as my broadband and phone. How they can make such an assumption and a judge believed it is beyond my comprehension

Update:

 

Filed an appellant’s notice 3x copies to the court asking for permission to appeal. 
 

The grounds I used were the judge made a hasty decision trying to save costs rather than giving me a fair hearing .

 

Also stated the fact the decision was made from a completely false scenario presented from the claimants solicitor . Namely me “forgetting to cancel the tv part of my account”. 
 

Thanks guys

Update: attended hearing in person to gain permission to appeal.

 

Outcome: Permission to appeal granted , claimants solicitor was a no show so permission to add further evidence granted. 
 

Bigger news: Default judgement set aside. Have to file a defence by 14th October.  Hooray!!

 

I will contact my local court and find out how I can submit my defence.

 

does this mean the judgment will be automatically removed ?

 

Or do I need to contact the court that awarded the default judgement?

 

Thank you everybody for your help!

 

Edit: by to my typo before defence..

Well.. I filed my defence by the deadline and today I wake up to a letter saying if I don’t return an N180 directions questionnaire by the 15th December my defence will be struck out and the Claimant shall be at liberty to request judgement..

 

So considering today is the 16th December and it’s landed on my doorstep a day after the deadline am I in trouble? 
 

Also… the claimant keeps emailing me asking for the evidence.

 

I responded by saying if they met me at my appeal meeting in Preston which cost me a lot of money to get there etc they would of seen it..

 

I also mentioned that isn’t the evidence plainly obvious if a judge has granted an appeal and set a judgement aside? 
 

So now I ask.. what cause of action should I take?
 

I’m going to call the court once I receive a response on here.

 

I honestly thought this was over and dealt with.

 

Do I have grounds to apply for a counterclaim?

 

The photocopying & transport has left me out of pocket and considering they wanted to charge me £180 costs in my first hearing.
 

Thanks

The N180 is just a short document.  Choose your local court.  Tell them when you might be away and thus unable to attend court, etc.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you for the quick responses.. 

 

I thought counterclaim meant claiming the costs back.. 

 

I was only given a date to file my defence by which I did and the judge mentioned I didn’t need to send my evidence in i’m assuming because the copy he had was sufficent.. 

 

The claimant keeps emailing me asking for the proof yet I’m reluctant to send it to them directly because they didn’t bother to turn up and see me in the appeal court.

but the claimant would not have a copy as you've never sent one to them ever since day one?

you can put in a costs letter along with your witness statement.

i will guess this 'appeal' and allowance by the judge has done what i said earlier as the claim appears to have been reset to as if you'd just received the original claimform...not sure but looks like it to me.

 

what defence did you file?

ok great.. i have emailed the form off.

 

I actually forgot to ask the judge at the appeal court about my costs it totally slipped my mind i was anxious in there and very forgetful.

 

The defence i filed was just re emphasising the fact that i cancelled my account on the set date & i had more evidence to back it up.  82 pages of comms notes narrowed down to 4 or 5 pages.
