    • 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.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address

    • 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.

Hello,

I'd very much appreciate your help with this.

I had a courtesy car provided recorded on a camera in Camden on 20/12/22.

 

The courtesy claims management company have forwarded me the PCN, but the dates indicated seem to be beyond the 28 day window. Can I contest on this basis?

 

Secondly, whilst Camden have regularly reset road layouts and directions of travel in central London, I saw no sign indicating I couldn't travel down this road as I have done on many occasions.

 

If the PCN is not valid, are there further grounds for me to challenge.

 

I haven't viewed the footage or checked signage in the area since receiving this.

 

Thank you

  • dx100uk changed the title to PCN Date served beyond 28 days..tottenham court rd bus lane contravention.

i dont think that is what should happen .

the keeper the hire co. should inform the council you were the driver

then you get one in your name

 

it even says so on the pcn!!

To the hire company who wrote the following.

 

I haven’t received anything yet but would clearly like to have a reason not to pay. What are my options please?

 

I write in reference to the attached Penalty Charge Notice received on your behalf whilst you were in possession of our hire vehicle.

 

We have now sent representations to the authority to transfer liability from (car hire company). The authority will contact you in due course to arrange payments in respect of the fine.

 

You will note that signed the Car Hire Agreement, agreeing to pay for any Administration Fees received during your hire period. I have enclosed an invoice detailing these charges have attached all supporting documentation and request that you arrange to make payment within 14 days.

No. Where a hire car co. transfers liability to the hirer the council are allowed to serve a second pcn to the hirer beyond 28days, but there is no excuse for the council not to have served the original pcn to the hire co. within 28 days

 

Sorry if I've missed it, but do we know that the original PCN was the one served on the hire company?  Isn't it at least possible that the RK is a finance company and not the hire company?

The original pcn was served on the claims management company that provided me with the car. 
irrespective is it not date of contravention and date of notice that are at issue within the stipulated timeframe?

What manxman is saying is that the claims management company might lease the vehicle and that the RK is a finance company and they would have received the original pcn.

 

They would have transferred liability to the claims management company, who in turn have transferred liability to you.  That would explain the extended timescale and the council would legitimatey be able to serve beyond the 28 day deadline.

Thanks. So I’m back to square 1. Next steps would be to review the footage and check for signs I may have missed?

 

Yes.

 

But I think you should also check who the registered keeper is and ask them to confirm when they received the original (ie first) PCN. 

 

Why don't you contact the car hire firm who alerted you to the PCN and ask them if they are the registered keeper?  If they are, fine and it might be out of time, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if they are not the RK and that the PCN they received and copied to you was not the first one.  [Edit:  If they just blithely say that they are the RK, politely ask them if they are sure they are, and ask them to confirm it is their name shown as RK on the car's V5C]

 

As others have said, it isn't technically your ticket to deal with until you receive one addressed to you.  You could then find out what the history of the ticket was and when it was first issued.

 

AIUI councils are meant to follow a prescribed procedure when re-issuing pcns in respect of hire cars, and they sometimes get this wrong, thus invalidating the ticket.  So come back to this thread when you get your own ticket.

My statement is factually correct .

 

I'd also doubt a financial institution funding hire/courtesy car to a company would be a registered keeper 

 

P'haps a quick call to the hire company to ensure they did receive a previous PCN in their name 

 

Then followed the guidelines by naming the driver to the issuer is in order simply to negate any recently introduced scepticism.

Sorry.  I read your post to be confirming to the OP that this PCN was out of date rather than just a comment about PCNs in general.

 

I think the OP would be best advised to check who the RK actually is and when they received their PCN before assuming it's out of date on the basis of what the hire company has sent him

Well that's what happens when you join any thread, you 'think' and 'assume' this or that,  no matter where you go, you always introduce speculation and additional confusion or doubt .

 

It took me many years to learn not to do that here. I had to learn the golden rule, if you don't know the answer...don't post!!

  • 2 weeks later...

 I now have my own ticket, which arrived yesterday.

 

I have attached this one below along with a couple of the screenshots.

 

On Google Maps the street is still marked for permitted travel through this section.

I had no idea of the changes and have travelled down that section of road many times before.

 

I'm not sure the signage is that helpful and it was 9:03am when traffic is apparently prohibited from 9:00am.

Unsurprisingly this feels like just another attempt to stitch up motorists.

Can anyone help please?

 

To respond to the earlier question about the RK,

the claims management company (previous PCN) are not the RK so would have had the originally submitted PCN forwarded to them from the RK.

If the PCN is valid, are there further grounds for me to challenge?

 

Thank you
