    • I have never heard of any such law. Please post a link to what you have read online that explains this law. And please confirm whether you were ever married to or in a formal Civil Partnership with your Ex.
    • Today has been hectic so  have been unable to complete the whole thing. If you now understand it and want to go ahead with a complaint to the IPC, fine. If not then I won't need to finish it. But below is my response to your request  on post 64. No you don't seem stupid, the Protection of Freedoms Act isn't easy to get one 's head around at first. The part of the above Act referring to private parking is contained within Schedule 4 which you can find online under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Section 9 of SCH.4 relates to how the parking scrotes have to perform so that they can transfer their right to pursue the keeper from the driver when the PCN is still unpaid after a certain amount of time. In your case the PCN was posted to you the keeper and arrived within 14 days from when they claimed a breach occurred. That means they complied with first part of the Act. The driver at that time was still responsible to pay the charge demanded on the PCN and PCM now have to wait for 28 days to elapse before they can write and advise the keeper that as the charge has not been paid, that they now have the right to pursue the keeper. They claim they sent the first PCN on the 13th March, five days after the alleged breach and it arrived on Friday 15th March. So to comply with the Act they have to observe Section 8 subsection 2f   (f)warn the keeper that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice is given— (i)the amount of the unpaid parking charges specified under paragraph (d) has not been paid in full, and (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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So the first PCN was deemed to arrive on the 15th March and for 28 days to have elapsed is when the time is right for them to write and say you are now liable as keeper. So they sent the next PCN on the 12th April which is too early as you could still have paid until midnight of the 12th. So the earliest their second PCN should have gone to you was  Saturday 13th April so more likely on Monday 15th April. The IPC Code of Conduct states "Operators must be aware of their legal obligations and implement the relevant legislation and guidance when operating their businesses." So by issuing your demand a day early, they have broken the Act, the IPC Code of Conduct, the DVLA agreement  to abide by the law and the Code of Conduct not to mention a possible breach of your GDPR .   I asked the IPC  in the letter on an earlier to confirm that  CPMs Notice misrepresenting the law was a standard practice for all of PCMs Notices or just certain ones. Their distribution  may depend on when they were issued and whether they were issued in certain localities or for certain breaches. Whichever method used is a serious breach of the Law and could lead to PCM being black listed by the DVLA . One would expect that after that even if the IPC did not cancel your ticket, PCM could not risk going to Court with you nor even pursuing you any further.
    • thanks jk2054 - do you know any law i can quote (regarding timeframe) when sending the email as if i cant they'll probably just say no like the normal staff have done? thanks.
    • I lived there with her up until I gave notice. She took over the tenancy in her name. I had a letter from the council and a refund of the council tax for 1 month.    She took on the bills and tenancy and only paid the rent. No utility bills or council tax were paid once she took it over. She will continue to not pay bills in her new house which I'm now having to pay or will have to. I have looked online I believe the police and solicitors are going by the partner law to make me liable.   I have always paid my bills and ensured her half was paid then see how much free money is over.   She spends all her money on payday loans and rubbish then panics about the rent. I usually end up paying it or having to get her a loan.   Stupidly in my name but at the time it was because she was my partner. I even paid to move her and clean and decorate her old house so she got the deposit back. It cost me £3000 due to the mess she always leaves behind.

    • 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.

The deadline for them to reply to the SAR is 13 November.  The deadline to reply to the Letter Before Claim is ... 13 November.

 

They won't take you to court the very first day after the deadline.  You might as well hold on and see if there is a reply to the SAR.

 

Come back here when they reply to the SAR, or if they don't on 10 November, and we can draw up an appropriate snotty letter.

We could do with some help from you.

Parallel Parking seem to be a small company.  Yours is the only thread we have on them.

 

Good news!  This wasn't an ANPR capture.  Some  creep has spied on your car.  So they haven't respected the POFA timescales with their PCN.

 

Also, what the heil does "unauthorised parking" mean?  It could be anything.

 

Did you find a ticket affixed to the windscreen?

Dear Gladstones

Ref: Your Client - Parallel Parking Ltd - Reg. No. *****

Clearly & most definitely you are not the best solicitors in Britain. However, as comedians go, you are pretty good.. Your letter certainly gave me & others a good laugh out loud,, which as we know is a positive for general health. .

Have you read the new Code of Practice?  The £70 you have added for "time and resources spent" [yeah right ] has been described in the Regulations as a "rip off".     Your avarice truly exceeds your legal knowledge by miles. 

May I suggest you consult with a competent solicitor, so you are able to understand the content of this letter. 

With Sympathy 

My intended letter to Parallel - I'm glad to have made this forum aware of this company, as I'm sure I am not the only one to have been contacted by them. 

Any tweaks / amendments will be very welcomed.  Thank you.

Firstly, my empathy on your instructing Gladstones Solicitors.  

Clearly & most definitely they are not the best solicitors in Britain. However, as comedians go, they are pretty good. Your letters & Gladstones  certainly gave me & others a good laugh out loud, which as we know is a positive for general health.

You nor Gladstones have evidently not read the new Code of Practice?   To your alleged “Unauthorised Parking Charge” of £100, they are trying to add a further £70 for "time and resources spent" [yeah right ], which has been described in the Regulations as a "rip off".     

Your’s & Gladstones avarice truly exceeds your legal knowledge by miles.

 May I suggest you consult with a competent solicitor, so you are able to understand the content of this letter. 

With Sympathy

OK, how about this -

 

 

Dear Will & John,

 

cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in mirth at the idea you actually thought I'd take such tripe seriously and cough up!

 

Now you know and I know and now you know that I know the million reasons why your country bumpkin client's invoice is total pants.  It's no surprise that following simple legal instructions is a tad too difficult in the hamlets of Shropshire .

 

On top of that the greedy retards have invented £70 Unicorn Food Tax and you've been telling porkies about solicitors' fees again.  Letter to the SAR in the post!

 

Your client can either see sense or I will look forward to thrashing them in court, obtaining an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g) and spending it on a nice foreign holiday while laughing at your client's expense. 

 

I look forward to your defeating silence.

@GickGick is spot on!  Sorry about the typo.  SRA is right.

 

@TheCat08I was going to post to compliment you on the level of your snottiness!  However, send either your letter or mine or a mixture.  The important thing is that the fleecers know you would be big trouble for them in court, and are therefore more likely to leave you in peace and instead go after some mug who will be scared and who will just cough up.  No need to write two versions for Gladdys and PP, just address it to Gladdys (which is why I wrote "Dear Will and John", these being the two spivs who run the company) and send a copy to PP.  

 

The bit about the SRA is because Gladstones regularly lie about solicitors' costs.  For a £170 claim they are allowed to include £50, but have put £80 to try to scare you.  If you have time on your hands then really do complain to the SRA.  They're an old boys' network and will do nothing, but it will annoy Will & John and will reinforce their picture of you as a complete pain in the backside who is best left alone.

That is superb - well done.

 

Just one change.  Add a bit to the sentence

 

The invention of this Unicorn Food Tax just shows you’re not adverse to telling real porkies in attempts to scaremonger. 

 

instead

 

The invention of this Unicorn Food Tax plus inflating solicitors' costs just shows you’re not adverse to telling real porkies in attempts to scaremonger

 

That's because Parallel Parking added the £70 Unicorn Food Tax and then it is Gladdys lying about solicitors' costs.

 

Also at the end it should be "deafening silence" - my typo above.

We could do with some help from you.
