    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

My situation is very complicated. 

 

I was stopped end of Nov last year for going a bit fast by an unmarked police car. Officer told me to ‘slow down a bit’ and was going to let me go following licence checks. He then came back and said I was disqualified since July 2021. This came as a total shock to me. Officer seized my car and dropped me home. I had just bought my new car in October and didn’t have a clue about this ban. He advised me to ring DVLA to find out more. 
 

next morning I rang DVLA, was told I had a tot up ban from July 2021 relating to 2 MS90s (all of these were held in my absence). 
 

First MS90 relating to a speeding offence in June 2018 - personally i can’t remember if I received a NIP for this as it was so long ago and I was suffering from severe mental health issues at the time . I definitely did not receive info on the hearing which was in Dec 18 and was given 6 points and a fine in my absence. 
Speeding was dropped and just the MS90 was given. 
 

Second MS90 August 2020 again a speeding offence for a work car which I used to drive on occasion as Fleet Manager (not sure I was actually driving at the time as it was accessible to the whole team). Did not receive any paperwork in relation to this. 6 points given again (which led to 12 points = tot up ban). 
 

Went to court (with a solicitor) for the driving whilst disqualified and have been given a 12 month ban and huge fine. 
 

Any ideas on how I can get myself out of this absolute mess please?? The ban is negatively impacting my mental health again, along with having to deal with the stress and anxiety relating to all of this.
 

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this!

For both of the offences  2018 & 2020,  contact the Courts that dealt with these and request copies of their files. They may charge you small fees to obtain these to cover photocopying and postage.

 

Once you have the details back, you could then look into this further. For the 2018 offence, had you appeared in Court, would it have changed the outcome ?  If the outcome would have been the same, no point pursuing.

 

For the 2020 offence, once you know the date of the speeding offence, contact your employers for the car access logs. Employers should retain records of who used the cars on what day/time. If the employers did not keep proper records on car usage, then look at other records about where you were on the date/time concerned. For example, if you were sat on a computer in a different location, you cannot have been driving.

 

No quick fix unfortunately. Particularly for the 2020 offence, you are going to have turn detective and try to find information, which will enable you to go back to Court.

 

For anyone facing a mental health crisis, it is important to access the help that is available, so that it is possible to deal with these crisis moments.  For details of help available, here is a link to an NHS website.

You may need urgent help for mental health for many different reasons. Some people call it a crisis, an emergency or a breakdown...

Police have direct access to the Motor Insurance Database [MID]. I don't think ANPR cameras access the MID directly, an actual human being police person has to look it up.

 

I believe the MID records the registration number and details of every insured vehicle in the UK including who the permitted drivers are but the MID website doesn't comment on it specifically.. The information is put on the MID by insurance companies.

it used to be a case of producing a HORT1 (horty) 7 days wonder notice to prove you were insured, 

thats mostly gone now.

 

plod can now check yes.

 

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
