    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all
    • stopping payments until a DN arrives does not equal automatic sale to a DCA...if you resume payments after the DN.  
    • Sleep apnoea: used to require the condition  to be “completely” controlled Sometime before June 2013 DVLA changed it to "adequately" controlled. I have to disagree with MitM regarding the effect of informing DVLA and S.88 A diagnosis of sleep apnoea doesn't mean a licence wont be granted, and, indeed, here it was. If the father sought medical advice (did he?) : this is precisely where S.88 applies https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64edcf3a13ae1500116e2f5d/inf1886-can-i-drive-while-my-application-is-with-dvla.pdf p.4 for “new medical condition” It is shakier ground if the opinion of a healthcare professional wasn’t sought. in that case it is on the driver to state they believed they met the medical standard to drive. However, the fact the licence was then later granted can be used to be persuasive that the driver’s belief they met the standard was correct. What was the other condition? And, just to confirm, at no point did DVLA say the licence was revoked / application refused? I’d be asking DVLA Drivers’ Medical Group why they believe S.88 doesn’t apply. S.88 only applies for the UK, incidentally. If your licence has expired and you meet the conditions for S.88 you can drive in the U.K., but not outside the U.K.

    • 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.

You haven't uploaded the PCNs, but from a PCN on another thread I see the fleecers require the name of the driver to be given by snail mail or via their stupid site at  https://transfers.uk-carparkmanagement.co.uk/

 

Normally we would ridicule their systems, but if the point is to get your wife out of the loop then best to go along with what they say (and keep screenshots if you use the site or get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office if you use snail mail).

Yes,

well the deadline to my calculations is tomorrow.

 

if the incident happened on 20 Feb,

they issued this notice on 21Feb

I received it on 28th Feb then where the fair 21 days for appeal?

 

They say "all appeals must be submitted within 21 days (beginning with the day after that on which this notice is given)"

 

if the deadline is tomorrow,

I can submit the appeal form

BUT I notice in one of the post that them having the email can become quite an disadvantage at a later stage when they might use it against me.

There's no option as far as I saw for same day post delivery.

pers i think i would NOT further complicate things by opening up the possibility that by you 'fessing up' to being the driver that 'parked the car twice, without a permit showing?' could be seen as you being 'a liar'.

it's a residential parking matter, there are NO examples of anyone here losing such a court claim - eventually on all residential cases - the supremacy of contract always rules, other than by judge lottery.

you came here, explaining your previous research and thoughts, sadly numerous flaws and mistakes quickly became very apparent in your 1st post and today have further made two very fundamental mistakes, that quite frankly, blow your 'perceived' understanding of the situation out the water.

you've not even received any letters of claim yet, but have already burrowed down every rabbit hole.

you could always help her as a lay rep if stupid hits the fan.

if i was the registered owner of this car asking for help , i would RUN AWAY from you very very quickly..

so where's the windscreen ticket for each?

there isn't one or even two...:pound:

they are dead in the water on each!!

and again let's us repeat in case it's not getting through ...YOU DO NOT EVER EVER EVER APPEAL..

Why do you keep on wanting to appeal? Private parking companies never, ever, ever, ever accept appeals - ever. 

 

Even if they were honest brokers ((they're not) you did actually break their rules about permits. 

 

It's actually specified on their site that appeals made on the basis that "You forgot to display your permit" will be unsuccessful.

Is there a reason you haven't posted your PCNs  suitably redacted though keeping times and dates. If we could see them and they do not comply with the Act and many don't, then the charge cannot be transferred from the driver to the keeper. 

So your wife is no longer involved and as thousands of people can drive her car UKPCM will have a difficult job knowing who to pursue. But it does depend on producing the original PCNs as they have the necessary conditions to comply with the Act. if you haven't still got them then your wife can send an sar to the company and they should send them to her.

Hi there,

Thank you. I have them(attached) but now I have asked this case to be re-opened here because I received a letter before claim from Gladstones which I have to :

1 pay the debt or

2. dispute the debt within 30 days.

 now I am refreshing my knowledge here and work on the draft in the hope that with the community's help from here I would be able to create a good draft.

UKCPM doesn't know who the driver is, but my wife kept receiving theses papers, the recent one being the letter before claim.

Draft sounded a little bit formal, I needed to refresh my knowledge and came across the case from Gateway-shopping-centre in Trowbridge which I found funny.

 

Because I haven't posted any updates since, I also want to share the history of letters received up until now:

21/02/23 - first PCN from UKCPM (incident date 20 Feb 2023)

25/02/23 - second PCN from UKCPM (incident date 24 Feb 2023)

11/03/23  - Final chance before action from UKCPM

17/03/23 - Final chance before action from UKCPM (second one)

31/03/23 - DRP letter

05/04/23 - DRP letter

24/04/23 - DRP letter

26/04/23 - DRP letter

11/05/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action

11/05/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action (second one)

04/07/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action

05/07/23 - DRP letter and something called Terminal Notice Pre-Legal Action (second one)

27/10/2023 - Letter before claim from Gladstones Solicitors

 

Also now that you asked about the back of the PCNs what I did remembered and most likely didn't mentioned previously (sorry for this). Back in Feb when I got them at the residential premises there is a gardener who is a nice guy and he also told me had problems with UKCPM getting PCNs.

I tried my luck by asking him if he can maybe help by asking the property management company to try and cancel the PCN and it this regard I gave him the two PCNs so that he can scan and send them to the property management company or UKCPM (I am not 100% sure who he tried to contact) and on the back of one of the PCNs I left him my phone number and first name.

Now the only strange thing is that when I received the letter before claim from Gladstones Solicitors I also received a message on my phone : "Due GBP 170 further to our letter we are to work with you. please visit this site xxxx, quote ref: xxxxxxxx" How come do they have my phone number? Is it from DVLA?

 

Please find attached all documents front/back received so far.

The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 which means that only the driver is responsible for the payment. The charge cannot be transferred from the driver to the keeper as PCM failed to comply with the Act.

Hi all,

 

What do you think about this first draft? Thank you.

 

Dear Gladstone Solicitors,

With reference to case xxxxx.xxxxx

I waited patiently and finally I have received your template letter and I feel sorry that you have to continue what your client started, but I can't blame them, GBP 2.4m net profit and GBP 10m in dividends paid in 2023, that's a lot of willingness from Mr. Henson, Dawson, Parker [ the UK CPM Directors] to send these letters to people. Some might end up paying these dividends to them, but not in my case gents.

I mean, who would take them seriously when there's no substance on these PCNs/claims from UK CPM? Not in my case at least. I will keep my arguments for later, in case we'll have a future in court because you [GS] know and I know that these claims are total pants.

In the same time I'll start thinking about what should I treat myself with the costs that your client will pay. One thing is for sure, I'll enjoy every penny of it since there is no compliance with POFA. Or, better for all that your client drops this foolishness now and we are all going to have nice holidays without myself getting any threatening letters.

I look forward to our next interaction. Or not. Either way, it will be entertaining.

That is a cracking snotty letter - well done!

Below are a couple of suggested tweaks, (a) removing reference to POFA but adding reference to residential parking which both the companies and Gladdys know are very difficult to win, and (b) changing how you address them.  They must have realised by now that this sarcasm ("Dear Will and John") is linked to CAG and that Caggers are generally bad news for them.  Anyway, see what the other regulars suggest in the morn.
