    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

  • 2 months later...

Sent off response to letter of claim as per pre action protocols recorded and confirmed receipt asking for details of claim and why this suddenly is raised  covering a period from 2012 to 2023

As expected no response but  today got County Court Claim I thought a response was required to try and avoid court proceedings but this seems to be a Court claim mill solicitor

Thanks for support I have sent the response acknowledging service electronically and am getting the utility data request ready to send

 

I suspect that having had no reply to my data request in response to the Letter Before Action sent recorded I may get no response to this as well.

 

I may have misread the rules regarding pre court protocols but they would appear to say that a Court Claim can be issued only after 30 days after the Letter Before Action request for data has been responded to?

Once again thanks in my 70's I am not as sharp I was

 

Forgot to ask in the form for seeking info it ask for the agreement not sure what to put as there was no credit agreement as they are claiming through the Water Industry Act 1991 s142-144

thats because you are using the WRONG CPR 31.14

use the 2nd one in our guide that says utils debt!!

 

so you've done AOS on MCOL?

 

next up get your defence ready, and yes we will add a line that they jumped the gin and appear to have issued a court claim with 30days of their PAPLOC.

That's because there isn't one...you will have to adapt the standard CPR 31.14 (credit cards/loans) to suit your claim by removing the request for agreement. A CPR 31.14 can and should only be used for documents referred to stated within the particulars of claim. (IE if they don't refer to a certain document you cant really request it.

We could do with some help from you.

 Ok read it wrong then Apart from quoting the legislation the only documents listed are "unpaid Invoices" that does not give much to ask for and help with a defence

Well in all honesty they invariably ever respond to a CPR 31.14 request but as long as you send one (a general request for all documents that the claim relies upon) you can then refer to it within your defence.

 

The CPR practice direction reiterates that all money claims that rely on an agreement or contract must be disclosed at a later stage within the proceedings.

 

So word it cleverly but don't be specific naming documents.

Struggling a bit to find much to put in for request as by simply ignoreing my notice before action response they are cutting out the pre court protocols cobbled this up

 

"Prior to the issue of proceedings I had responded to your “Letter Before Action” of 08/02/2023 as required under the Pre Action Protocol for Debt Claims as per Civil Procedure Rules1998 (CPR) which was signed for at the required address 11.33 Friday 03 March 2023. This letter was written in order to query, as per your instruction, matters relating to your claim.

 

I requested clarification as to the authority of UK Search to act and if they were the agent or owner of the debt, invoices for supply covering the period any reductions made to comply with the low income and vulnerable policies in force and compliance with the “Paying Fair Guidelines” Despite the requirements of the CPR no response has been received. 

 

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of each of the following documents mentioned in your Particulars of Claim being:

 

A copy of all invoices and any associated items for the claimed period including any additional charges billed separately
