    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • 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.

    • 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.

There is a 10-minute grace period at the end.  Minimum.  If you were one minute over that was "de minimis" ("the law does not deal with trivialities").  Plus if you were dealing with a child who had had an accident that should be taken into consideration under the government Code of Practice.

Thanks for posting everything up so quickly.

 

Extra kudos for keeping the parking receipt!!!

 

Presumably at the end of Gladdy's letter as usual the fleecers have claimed £170 (although the maximum is £100) and Gladdy's have pretended solicitors costs are £80 (in reality £50).  Right?

It's the same parking company, the same solicitors, an ice rink and an incident where someone fell ill.  A photocopy of your case!

 

Send the two letters off tomorrow as indicated in this post.

 

Now, belt & braces.  i presume the site is here  http://www.altrinchamicedome.co.uk/index.html

 

If so, there is an e-mail address here  http://www.altrinchamicedome.co.uk/page/Contact_Us/Gillingham/index.html

 

Write to the manager, lay it on thick about being a genuine customer, paying a lot both for the ice rink and for parking, include a copy of the parking payment and if you can payment for the ice rink (by card?), mention being only one minute over the period allowed to get out of the car park due to a child injuring herself - and demand they call off their dogs.

Dear Will & John,

 

Re: PCN no.XXXXX

 

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 client's invoice is total pants.

 

Annex 1.  FI.  Exempt Circumstances.  Get off your backsides and do some due diligence for once and look it up.

 

On top of that your greedy client has invented £70 Unicorn Food Tax and you've been telling porkies about solicitors' costs again.  Letter to the SRA in the post!

 

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

 

I look forward to your deafening silence.

But, but, but, you had a formal threat of court action, they had you bang to rights, if you didn't cough up they were going to whack your backside in court, but instead ...

 

... three months later they are making you, er, open an envelope!  Still, I bet it was a really big envelope and it took you ages to open.

 

What idiots!

 

Laugh at them and ignore them.  Yours is not the next move.

The first email sent was on the 16th of November 2022 and they are saying they never received it, I have all emails sent etc 

 

Thank you. This the the email that I received...

 

Thank you for your email, looks like a few were missed in-between which we have never received, I can only see the first email sent to us on the 19th November 2022 when the email confirmation you sent to us we for payment on 29th December 2021 so we wouldn’t of been able to dispute a ticket with such a gap in-between.

 

All disputes have to be done originally from yourself as the ticket is in your name we can only support you if evidence was needed, we can only deal with matters on parking if there was an issue our end like the parking meters were not working, I cannot see any issues on that date that would have caused for anyone to not pay for parking.

 

Sorry we can’t be of anymore help with this matter.

 

Regards

Claire

Apart from being illiterate - "wouldn’t of been able" indeed - that is a disgraceful shirking of responsibility.

 

I think you should reply with both barrels.  Work calls now, but I'll suggest something this evening.

 

EDIT:  Could you please post up what you wrote to the manager?  Did you mention the child's injury and that the overstay was "de facto" only one minute?

To save FTM a little time, I've taken the liberty of ripping off one of his "cajoling" letters and adapting it.

 

I'm sure he'll add some appropriate edits later.😉

 

Dear Claire,

 

I refer to my previous email and the recent speculative invoice I have received from your agents Premier Park Ltd. (PCN XXXXX).


I am entitled to enjoy my skating session, without being harassed later with demands for money by the leeches you have invited in to "manage" the car park.

Let me make myself very clear.  I refuse to pay this invoice.

 

The car parking fee was paid.

 

I will not, as you suggest, "dispute" anything with these leeches.
I will also not be taking part in their crooked appeals process where the parking company judge themselves.

 

They are now threatening to sue me for a one minute overstay.
If this happens, I will be robustly defending and will add Planet Ice as a Third Party to the proceedings. (They are your agents).

 

You are the organ grinder, you invited these bloodsuckers in to try to extort money from genuine customers.
 
All of this unpleasantness could easily be avoided if you simply faced up to your responsibilities and ordered these parasites to cancel the invoice.

 

Yours,

 

XXXXX
