    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • 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.

    • 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.

UKPC PCN Pub Carpark PAPLOC Claimform - blue badge displayed - Appeal refused - The Physician Pub B15 3DH


Recommended Posts

Hi.

After some advice

my husband parked his car in a disabled parking bay in a pub car park (which unbeknown to him) was owned by UK Parking Control.

He received the charge

he appealed as he has mobility problems, has a defibrillator due to heart failure and he genuinely thought at the time that because he was parked in a disabled bay in a public house and had displayed his blue badge, he did not have to pay for parking.

Appeal rejected.

He has now received court papers.

Unfortunately, he has also been diagnosed with advance bowel cancer and is currently receiving chemotherapy and on morphine as part of his treatment.

Who should I contact regarding this court notice.

He wishes to appeal as he said he didn’t see any clear signage, pub website stated that it provides free car parking for disabled customers.

He is so stressed about this, he would just like to get it sorted but he can’t even think straight at the moment due to to the effects of chemo and morphine.

Unfortunately these vile companies like UKPC couldn't give a damn about someone's illness, all they're interested in is £££££.

We will ask you to fill in two stickies, one about the court claim, and one about the original invoice.

He can't appeal, but he can certainly defend the court claim.

To start, can you please complete this -

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi. Thanks for your responses.

I am on this to get the info to you but having huge problems uploading pdf (saying it is too large).

I will have another go tomorrow.

I have filed defence on MCOL website, selecting start AOS claim, leaving jurisdiction unticked and defending all.

Thought it best to get this done as my husband does intend to contest this.

Would rather give the money to charity rather than these fraudsters.

Hi.

I thought it best to respond and file a defence as claim is dated 7 November which only gave me until 26th to respond.

Hubby goes into hospital for treatment at end of this week/beginning of next

thought it best to respond as time of the essence with hospital visits etc.

I will try and upload again later (think I’m going to try desktop rather than uploading via phone).

Thanks for your help so far ….

OK, excellent, you've done exactly what you should have done.

When you get a minute, fill in the two stickies and let us have the PDF of the correspondence. 

These will tell us whether UKPC have bothered to follow the legal process correctly - they often don't - and will hopefully help your hubby's case.

Thanks for sending me the compressed file link - it seems to have worked a treat. Documentation attached.

I am going to visit the car park again today or tomorrow - I have a feeling that the pub has changed car park company as website is saying car park is owned by Calthorpe Estate and customers pay via RingGo App. Perhaps I’m wrong.

The pub is called The Physician - postcode is B15 3DH if that helps. 

The letter of claim states that the vehicle was parked on private property which at the time, was managed by UK Parking Control.

Huge apologies but missed a page out - thought it might be useful as letter states claim would be issued within 15 days from the date of letter which was 13/10/23 but claim was issued 8 Nov 23 - not sure if this makes any difference.

What you've uploaded is very promising.  Some creep has obviously taken a photo of the car but there is no evidence of the pay & display ticket missing and no indication of how long the car was without a ticket (the driver is allowed a 5-minute consideration period).

Good idea to go to the car park and get pix of the signs close-up and also how they would look to anyone driving in.

But as dx says - sticky x 2 please.

Whitty,

Have you been to view the additional online images as mentioned in their missives? www.paycharge.co.uk

As Dave mentioned, there's no close up images on their paperwork which shows a lack of pay & display ticket.

Grab the images and upload them please.

Also...

Hi.

The website mentions disabled parking hence why hubby chose this venue to meet friends as he has to plan his journeys carefully due to his mobility issues.

To be fair, if I scroll down I can see that they do notify customers about pay and display but he never read this.

 I am visiting the car park tonight to look at parking signage and will take photos and also assess distance from parking meter to disabled spaces.

He has it in writing from medical professionals that he can’t walk more than 20 metres without getting out of breath (one of the main reasons why he has a defibrillator).

Given the date of the alleged offence, I can only assume that the chump who took the pictures was playing an April Fools joke.

I may have to mention this (if and when I have to send a snotty letter).

Sticky 2 to follow today (I need to do this on a desktop at home, not on my phone).  

I will also save photos when I go into pay charge.co.uk

Update

- I have been in contact with Watch Systems Ltd who manage the car park and asked if there is anything they can do to cancel the PCN. This was on Monday and not heard anything back yet.

Meanwhile, deadline for me to submit defence is tomorrow so I am going to use the standard one that is in the threads - hope this will be OK?

I have been back to site and there is nothing on Pay and Display notice on the parking machine that states disabled people have to pay which I’m hoping I can use in defence further down the line.

Also, machine is 80 to 100 metres away from where my husband parked.

Not very practical for people who have mobility issues.

Below is what I intended to send:

Re: PCN Number: [ ]

I dispute your 'parking charge' as the keeper of the vehicle.  I deny any liability or contractual agreement and I will be making a complaint about your predatory conduct to your client landowner.

The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of [CAR REG NO.].

 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.  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.
