    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

UKCPS - NO STOPPING PARKING CHARGE - Gateway House Picadilly Manchester Stay City Aparthotels


Recommended Posts

Following my sat nav I entered the road leading to the car park.

I reached a dead end and was unsure of where my allocated parking was.

I did a u- turn checked my phone and realised where the staycity aparthotels carpark was.

I am a Londoner and was completely confused as there was another parking area in this compound.

I had pre booked my parking starting from 3pm for 24 hours please see my receipt.

I arrived in the car park at around 545pm.

UKCPS sent me a reminder letter which I just opened saying I owe £130.

The picture on the charge are 1 minute apart.

There were no signs of no stopping where I was, no markings on the floor.

I had every right to be there. 

If I entered the wrong car park I could have been charged so I had to make sure. 

please what do I do this is the first letter I’ve received, its not even in my name its addressed to the registered keeper.

I’m scared as I do not want my credit profile to be affected.

They said the registered keeper cannot appeal due to 21 days lapsing. 

can YourParkingSpace Help me as I booked with them? 

should I appeal?

should I contact UKCPS to inform them I was the driver? And I didn’t receive their initial letter?

please help me this is affecting my mental health.

  • PEACEKING changed the title to UKCPS - NO STOPPING PARKING CHARGE - Gateway House Picadilly Manchester Stay City Aparthotels

Hi Peaceking and welcome to CAG.

It's a rather confused explanation you're giving us.

You've received a letter that's not actually addressed to you??

Could you please upload the letter you've got and we'll take it from there.

We could do with some help from you.

Ok Peaceking,

Our usual advice is to ignore anything else they send UNLESS it's a letter of/before claim.

We've around 30 of these cases on the forum and UKCPS have never had the courage to take it to court yet...

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/search/?&q="Gateway House"&type=forums_topic&quick=1&nodes=65&search_and_or=or&sortby=relevancy

In your case it's doubly important not to appeal. You could lose useful legal protection under POFA2012 legislation.

Basically, UKCPS should sue the driver. If they don't know who was driving, they can transfer liability to the keeper (Dad), IF they get everything right paperwork wise.

You're probably going to have to explain this to Dad. No response to UKCPS whatsoever, unless a letter of claim arrives (unlikely).

We could do with some help from you.

If you do a search on the forum you'll see we have about 100,000 threads for this site.

In not one case have UKCPS have the guts to do court.

Your credit file can't be affected unless UKCPS take you to court, then win the court case and after you defy the court and don't pay so get a CCJ.  None of that is going to happen.

EDIT: just seen Nick has already explained all this.  Anyway, he 's right!

We could do with some help from you.

If the PCN reminder is the only one your father has received it would be best to get him to send an sar to UKCPS so that you can get the original PCN. That is the important one since if they don't get the wording right they cannot transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper. 

This would be the best outcome for the two of you. they cannot pursue your Father and they do not know your name and address. Happy days.

How likely is it that they have got it wrong?

The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 [which governs the private parking companies ] has only been in force for about 12 years so you would have thought that they could have managed to get the wording right by now.  You would be wrong.

Time and again we see constant examples of PCNs that do not comply with the Act so the keeper is no longer liable to pay  which is why we advise motorists not to appeal.

It is all too easy to reveal that the keeper was also the driver and once the parking rogues know who the driver is they can then take them to Court.

  • 3 weeks later...

pdf sorted and back up.

if you'd been reading up in the last 3weeks instead of just disappearing ......

you would have already known that a DCA can do nothing on ANY debt, no matter what its TYPE. and to await and see if you ever get a letter of claim. till then sit on yours hands.

A DCA is NOT a bailiff 

and have ZERO legal powers.

dx

 

 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

As your first PCN was a Notice to Driver which would have been followed by a Notice to keeper over a month later [even though it may only state Parking Charge notice] it is even more necessary to send PE an SAR.

If either document fails to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act  2012 Schedule 4 then both you and your father are in the clear.

So you do not need to worry about is any paperwork from unregulated debt collectors and fifth rate solicitors.

The only thing to look out for is a Letter of Claim and all you have to do is respond with a snotty letter back to them .

Just to check.  Is there an obvious reason why your father didn't get the original letter?  Has he moved recently?
