    • 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.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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 don't know how long my alleged overstay is stated but my Google Maps history has me in the vicinity for 1hr and 7 minutes. 

 

Gonna contest. I ignored as I thought a minor overstay would be filtered out of their winnable cases.

Your PCN will tell you how long you overstayed for.  I would be surprised if it is only 7 minutes since you should be allowed a minimum of ten or fifteen minutes  overstay depending on the size of the car park. So the quicker we see the PCN the quicker we can work on your defence.

The good thing about you ignoring them to date is that you have not revealed to them who was driving. 

 

We will look forward to seeing what you have tomorrow.

parking time will only play a part further down the process at disclosures stage.

 

you dont 'give away' or play your cards in your defence.

 

if its at all possible, bar the letter of claim 'pack' and bar the court claim pack.

 

is it possible for you to scan up to one mass pdf both sides of every letter to date?

Thanks. I understand this process now.

 

The defence will be probably to do with time actually spent parked and time allowed for reading a contract, entering and exiting the car park.

 

Depending on what evidence they provide of course.

 

Obstructive,

be sure not to confuse your "defence" with your "witness statement" (which comes much later on).

The defence is basically just saying "yes, I want to defend". The witness statement is your detailed legal argument.

 

The initial defence you will file is as described in post 4 by DX above.

The idea is to use something bland and not to give any advance information to the fleecers of your full legal arguments.

 

We could do with some help from you.

AOS submitted 

 

Letter as below written.

My only confusion is that about documents mentioned in particulars of the claim.

Have I rightly noted the PCN there?

or should I just leave that as documents listed below?

  • 11 months later...

I haven't submitted my statement for defence as yet but the Court Date is set and DCB Legal are calling me to arrange a discussion where they'll probably just knock a few quid off the bill they'll expect me to pay.

ANPR had me in and out of the parking area an hour and 13 minutes apart. 1st hour is free.

I have evidence I wasn't there that long and that it was difficult to park that day. Don't want to say too much as I don't know who reads these.

Any advice on this conversation later today?

I may also need some help with my defence statement I will be submitting shortly.

Makes absolutely no difference. If you read a few other topics, you'll see that the only thing you need to do is anonymise any uploads.

To help you any further, we really need a lot more information.

Can you please upload evrything you have to date?

Ooops, cross posted with dx, but you get the general idea...

Yep, refuse the call.

Well they have called twice now and not followed up with a call when I wasn't busy.

I can scan all the docs later but everything went as expected with the process.

I gave a breif defence initially as advised. They sent me all their info initially, photos of signs and the car park and my car going past the ANPR at stated times. I refused mediation as I don't feel I owe them anything so obviously not going to do a deal.

My witness statement and final disclosure before Court date in March is all that's left to do. 

My Google Timeline has me there for 1hr and 7 minutes. I was clearly actually parked less that that. I remember the day was flash floods and parking was a little more difficult than usual. That's the basis of my defence. 

Sorry, I kinda just got on with things.

It's been 11 months. I understood that at some point I would just go to court and I was comfortable with that.

I have some experience in court
