    • 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.
    • thanks jk2054 - do you know any law i can quote (regarding timeframe) when sending the email as if i cant they'll probably just say no like the normal staff have done? thanks.
    • I lived there with her up until I gave notice. She took over the tenancy in her name. I had a letter from the council and a refund of the council tax for 1 month.    She took on the bills and tenancy and only paid the rent. No utility bills or council tax were paid once she took it over. She will continue to not pay bills in her new house which I'm now having to pay or will have to. I have looked online I believe the police and solicitors are going by the partner law to make me liable.   I have always paid my bills and ensured her half was paid then see how much free money is over.   She spends all her money on payday loans and rubbish then panics about the rent. I usually end up paying it or having to get her a loan.   Stupidly in my name but at the time it was because she was my partner. I even paid to move her and clean and decorate her old house so she got the deposit back. It cost me £3000 due to the mess she always leaves behind.

    • 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.

I think the first reason is that she doesn't have the willingness to pursue in this process if the mindset is not there, she'll not do it properly.

Her level of stress is already high due to current work not sure how much this would add up.  I am willing to go further, hence the reason to stay steady.

And this "everyday normal life" situation is exactly what these leeches rely on.

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.

Thank you Dx, Nicky Boy.

For sure not from Facebook it's not linked, Instagram - I don't have, Twitter account not linked to it, hence I doubt is from any social networks. Maybe from my credit cards or car insurance.

Ok, I'll check some snotty letters and come up with one, I hope by next week.

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.
