    • 7 weeks now. What happens if they don''t get back to me within the 8 weeks? They have to provide me a final response in that time frame right? 
    • Referring back to to your initial post... So not a judgment ?
    • 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.

    • 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.

Urm . 

 

I wonder if he cleaned the items with something he should not have before putting them on display or up for sale?

 

I bet he did , from memory I think I have used one of these cleaners by mistake that did that

As I have stated to him zillion times. Stainless steel chains do not go black and trinkets that are 10, 20, 50 years old do not suddenly go black 2 weeks after being sold to someone. 
Also you may have noticed in that text onslaught I have asked for pictures of said chain now 17 times. And he still can’t send it. 
Madness. 

 

He’s still messaging me. 
 

“My apologies, however I work 7 days a week and this matter is of concern to me. If I don’t receive a refund tomorrow by 4pm I will employ a trace agent to find out where you reside in order to facilitate my claim should you fail to co operate. 
The cost of the trace will of course be added to my claim. 
Please exercise common sense .” 

 

Can he even do this?

No, he can't.  His contract with you is for your goods.  Any money he wastes on traces or solicitors is his own concern.

 

You need to stop corresponding with him now.  He's just trying it on.  He's such a great businessman that he didn't even take your details!

 

On 1 January you send your Letter of Claim.

Ok thanks Dave and DX. 

So will a trace agent find my address and give it him it not? 
 

And yes on 1st I’ll be sending LOC. 

 

I’ll

not reply back to any message as as you say I think it’s just feeding into his fear machine. Which is the se if a match box.

It's by no means certain that he will really use a trace agent.  He could well be full of bluff and bluster.  I've met many such types.

 

If he does, then trace agents aren't miracle workers.  It depends on how much information the spiv is able to give the trace agent.  "A bloke called Mrk" came in isn't much info.

I sent him an invoice. But all it has on my details was 

 

KKC 

SOLE TRADER. 

 

The only info he has is my mobile, bank account details and maybe my bank name which looks like ‘Mr G Williams’ (not my actual name) and mobile number and email. Is that enough to go on.

Really? Well that’s good news then I guess.  
I hope you are correct. 
 

I guess these tracers would go on things like council tax info and clearly at least first name. He has none. I don’t pay council tax as it’s all

inc in rent.

I am buzzing now.

 

On Friday, I put my mobile number in Google and seen that an old facebook account come up, as I set it up as a business page, and from that my nick name was also visible,

 

I tried to log into that facebook account but it's 10 years old and I don't know the email. 

 

I then put my nick name in google and my linked in profile come up, and right in the main google search was "my name, managing director of [company]" And that company is on companies house, and on companies house is my proper name.

 

   (Sorry, 'my nickname' is a proper name, just a change of middle name to front name etc)

 

 I had to go into linked in and change all the name and delete all the work..

 

I tried to delete it but figured that would not vanish as quick as a name change, I know how google spider bots work you see.

 

And today if you put my 'nickname' in nothing comes up. So was just in case he did use a tracer.

 

As this guy laid down his law and said "if you don't pay me back by friday (gone) I will get a tracer to find you blah blah.... 

 

I messaged him Friday 4pm and said I will come in Monday morning...

 

I did not say what I intended to do, obviously, I could have just gone in to browse and buy something :)

 

now I just hope with the info he has: BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS, MR J JONES (not my name but set out like this),  MOBILE NUMBER and that's it I think.

 

What do we think gang?

We've already said what to do.

 

1.  Stop communicating with him.

 

2.  On 2 January, the first working day after the deadline for payment, send a Letter of Claim.

 

You're well on the way to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in what is a very simple case - he owes you £675 for which you have a a written agreement.

 

He's asked you to come in to collect your goods, so you say you're coming in - er, I wonder how he will try to spin that?  That's after offering him partial refunds, which he will spin as admitting the pieces were defective. 

 

You constantly say it's the last message, but then continue the messages, which just makes you look weak.

 

You will have to put your details on a Letter of Claim so I don't see the point in all this flurry to hide your name & address.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

The flurry was so he could not use a trace agent, and if he did the agent would have a hard time.

 

I did not state why I was going in, and I only messaged him again to buy myself 3 days whilst the google spider bots deleted my real name from linked in, which it did.

 

Had he paid the measly sum of £40 to some desperate trace agent on friday and said agent did his dirty and found my name and got my address then it would have been a headache having his pathetic letters or cases or even worse his heavy men come to my home.

 

I just find it bizarre how this practice is even legal, it's like something from the middle ages.

 

I have not said why I was going in, i have never said i agree with him, only if you are unhappy with one or 2 chains I will refund for them only. But yes I do agree with you on that.

It would be a good idea to draft your Letter of Claim for 2 January (presuming he misses his deadline for payment).

Thanks. 
At this stage I’m wondering if yo just leave it. Take a loss. 
Do I want the stress of a court case? 
Thus guy is still emailing me, 9pm, 10pm at night. 
Telling me he’s going to send me a claim of what I owe him. It’s getting ridiculous. I’ve told him 30+ times to stop emailing and texting. 
I called 101 to put a complaint in and they are calling be back tomorrow to take a report and file a crime I think. 
My thinking is to just sack court case off. He’s thinking he can counter claim me. I’m quite busy with life in general and I can’t be bothered with all this. 
What should I do here.

Is it worth it financially to continue pursuing?

 

You think they are trying to con you out of money, but what if it turns out to be true that a lady was Injured by the chains, as the material was not good quality stainless steel, but included metals which are a known skin irritant?

Very very unlikely. 
I had these chains for a year in storage before I sold them as completed chains.  No issues. 
He has simply changed his mind. 
 

He’s even threatening me with HMRC for some reason. End of the day I’m a member of the public who sold something to a business. Was I a sole trader? As well as this I am not vat registered. Just a member of jo public who sold something to a shop. So what does he think HMRC can do?

Well if you have been earning by selling items and these could be seen as business sales, if you don't register with HMRC by 5th of October in the second year of trading (where self-employed earnings expected to exceed £1000 in a tax year), then any investigation could lead to a fine being applied.

 

What paper work do you have regarding quality of these items ?

This was a one off sale. The value to be £1,350 but only half was paid. 
So you saying I’d need to be registered for good over £1000? 
I’m not a business. Just a joe public sole trader.

No. This was a one off only. 
Im looking to set up a photography business soon and that will be registered. 
This was simply 270 chains laying around so I sold to a shop. 
Shouod I register anyway just in case? Just to fight fire with fire? 
Or call HMRC and explain in advance to save any headache of them inquiring about me?

What makes you self-employed, what counts as trading and what to do, including registering for Self Assessment

 

How would HMRC find you, when they don't have full name or address ? I think you said the person threatening to report you did not have your information.

 

Also HMRC receive large volumes of reports and have millions of items of work. Why would they be interested in such a relatively small business transaction? Very much doubt that any report would be looked into, unless you have been trading for awhile and you are already on the radar of authorities investigating issues raised.

He has my bank details. First initial and surname and mobile and email. 
 

But as I said. This is a one time transaction. So far I’ve only made £675. So under the £1000. As well I’d still have 8 moths to register. 
 

It’s clear this person is trying to flex his muscle.
