    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [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 states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [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; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

Solidworks/CJCH Sols - Maria Vinces - copyright infringement threats/Fake Licence


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I have read the articles above which has put my mind at ease, but this Maria Vinces one keeps hounding us saying we have a fake Solidworks license.

Ive not replied to her, i presume the best thing is not to reply to her.
Every time she emails she asks about finding an amicable solution, everything about it sounds like shes trying to get us to pay quick money. 
A proper company wouldn't conduct its self this way.
Its getting pretty annoying at this stage i feeling like replying & telling her where to go as we dont even use this software.
She say the mediation period is running out putting more pressure on us.

Please if anyone can give me advice, i would appreciate it.

Hi @Keith_01

I've split your post into a different thread here. Please post in here from now on.

As is the advice, simply ignore this Maria person. Block any calls/texts and bounce back any emails from them.

If you get a letter of claim BY POST come back here, but having a quick look through the other Solidworks/CJCH threads here we've never seen that happen. Anything other than that is just hollow threats.

We could do with some help from you.

  • lolerz changed the title to Solidworks/CJCH Sols - Maria Vinces - copyright infringement threats/Fake Licence

Hi Lolerz

Thanks for replying to me, yes I've been ignoring her & will continue to do so.

All she keeps saying is they want to come up with an amicable settlement.

Keeps saying this to our receptionist she shouldn't be saying this to a receptionist or even me in the first place as they have given no proof of anything no IP addresses noting just keeps saying about an amicable settlement.

Hi all, these people won't leave us alone this Cjch solicitors in Wales are now phoning our office looking to speak to me on behalf of Maria Vince's the dispute they say between us & Dassault systems SOLIDWORKS corporation.

It's starting to stress us a bit as it's always on the back of my mind when checking emails.

Could anyone please give me more advice.

Many thanks Keith

Block and bounce back all emails, calls etc.

the ONLY thing you need to worry about is a letter of claim, which is something that has NEVER happened here.

CJCH, like any "debt" collector, has NO legal powers AT ALL.

If they call on a landline simply state that they are not to call you again and put the phone down. Many landlines also offer call blocking services for free so take a note of the number and block it through your service provider or phone directly.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Lolerz

Thanks for getting back to me, we have a receptionist who I told not to transfer any more calls to me as I've never spoke on the phone to them & blocked all emails but they still go into junk mail.

If a letter of claim comes I'll post back but hopefully not.

They still won't actually give me any details of anything just that they want to settle it amicable.

At what point do these people leave us alone.

I wonder from the threads above & the people who posted on here still have any dealings with them.

Just a bit stressful

Thanks

They'll give up when they realise they aren't getting any money from you. How long that is could be anything. Just keep ignoring them and they'll go away eventually.

Don't lose sleep over it, CJCH are absolutely powerless.

Hey Keith, dealing with the exact same thing at the moment. They're probably just doing another scam wave.

The people calling are literally just "Analysts" to further quiet your nerves. They can't even type an email address right. not the smartest people in the world.

Eventually they'll give up. Maybe.

Rhys, don't go into panic, please.

These people are just scam, they write dozens and dozens of emails per day, just waiting for someone that goes into panic and join their 'friendly solution'; it's like the the email from the prince of Nigeria asking you for some money, same thing.

They are nothing, ignore them, they have no power.

I know you can be scared but believe me, you can sleep peacefully.
