    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf
    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (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; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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.

Usual twit response from there's truly.

 

Just let it carry on as per schedule -if they can't read that's their problem. They take the £1 and put it against your account - they do it to lots of people. Just wait your 12 +2 working days then your 1 month and let them default.

Sounds like you have received a letter similar to mine from that Jane woman, was it a copy and paste job? anyway, the 14 days are up on mine and guess what, they still haven't done a thing..... they are full of it. :D

 

No doubt she'll be up for a Credit Today award next year !!:D :D

Well, they will have a job getting hold of me for a while. Maybe if I wait long enough I'll get to join the Hodson's Fan Club too. :D

 

But I've told them there's no point waiting until the hard copy of their letter gets to me. They might as well start counting now, cos they can do what it says on the tin.

 

The enormous tin of Feck Off, that is. ;)

 

Now you don't want to offend them publicly now do you Seahorse? Not a nice firm of suits and white shirts.... They're Professionals you see, professionals, and professionals means they do this and get paid for it for a living SO SHOULD KNOW WHAT's RIGHT AND WRONG !:D

Ah ha, wonder whats rumbled them today! ha ha

 

I don't think they have any empathy for the consumer or the consequences of what they are doing on the average person. They would do well to image themseleves or a family member in a similar situation at at least try and help people.

 

It is the nature of the job in Credit, especially consumer credit. Bit like Liquidators, if you've ever been on the wrong side of one of those, you'd know what misery really is. Consumer credit and debt is a job. As far as these guys are concerned they're probably told people owe the money and if you owe money, you are going to have to pay it back to someone, so they get put on a bonus scheme to encourage them and when you are young - it's a job and the bonus will get you a bit of fun out of life so it becomes, like a nurse in the operating theatre looking at a body being operated on - just a job. If they got emotional about the subject matter these jobs would never be done.

 

Also, in fairness to Cabot staff ( what am I saying? :o ), I can't imagine anyone at 18 yrs getting £25-27 k for a team leader job. It's unlikely they'd be given that kind of job unless they had good management skills and at 18 - not many would. Some maybe, but not many.

£25-£27k plus bonus for an 18-year-old straight out of school, no degree, no quals as such. It's pretty good going. I would love to know what the turnover rate for staff is for I suspect that they are lured by the bright lights/cash what 18-year-old wouldn't be? quote]

 

Knew I'd find what I was looking for lol -- I found my other posting, this is what I'd said before about it :

 

It could happen, a recent internal study revealed that Cabot- at their Kent site- has a 21% staff turn over (Oh, and a 3% sickness record).

 

Yeah, they don't have breakdowns -they just die of boredom!:D

CABOT FINANCIAL’S TOP EMPLOYEES REWARDED WITH

NEW CAR AND LUXURY HOLIDAY

 

Cabot Financial, market leader in debt purchase, has presented top employees with various prizes including a new Mini and a £3000 holiday to mark their contribution to the company’s continued success.

 

 

 

Doesn't that make you all warm inside to know that the money they have conned everyone out of is going to those lovely young, intelligent, well bred people we see in Seahorses Blog (getting p ****ed and growing suspicious plants) in new Mini's and holidays. Can't you just rejoice at the thought of it :mad:

 

gggrrrrr!

I got fed up waiting for Cabot to send me their promised goodwill gesture for my domain name, cabotfinancial.eu, as well as them starting the transfer procedure to move it to their servers. So I have given them until the 7th September to do so, otherwise I will have to sell the name in order to recoup my losses.

 

I've been offered £11 for it. In the unlikely (HOHO) event that Cabot doesn't come through for me by the end of next week, does anybody else want to take it on? Bear in mind that it is likely to come with the threat of litigation against whoever is burdened with it. :D

 

£11.01p - I just love a fight :D

Dear Seahorse,

 

I believe that a desire to profit from the 'goodwill' of the complainant is the criteria for legal recourse for 'alleged' cybersquatting.

 

I'm not planning to profit from the domain name.

 

NNN

 

One assumes you refer to the idea of 'Passing Off' in that one would be profiting from the use of their (alleged :D ) goodwill if they had any.

 

I believe their argument is not quite based upon their being any 'Passing Off' but one of 'Intellectual Rights'. Well, ignoring the fact that there's hardly an intellectual amongst them in the Towers of W.Malling, the very thought that we or anyone would want to 'pass off' as a debt collection agency called Cabot beggars belief in the first instance. No, this was more a matter of shutting Seahorse Up because he has made more noise than they could ever have imagined. www .coveritup.co.uk in fact generates so much traffic these days from amongst their biggy banks customers than I expect their own site does. Hopefully, just like Gerald Ratners misdemoneanours and the effect that had on his business, so too Maynard & Cabot will lose their clients in the same way - same products - cheap tatt!

 

If you can create even higher exposure - wonderful, Searhorse drives a hard bargain - it's up to £11.01p to date :p

I take it you have written to Barclays and informed them of the way Cabot are deficating their name have you? ( despite Barclays pay rolling them into business in the first place - they won't like it) or shall we send them a little CFC mailer?
