    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

No I didn't, got stuck at work so it was too late. Getting a bit cheesed off with Inga and Co as I have written several emails trying to negotiate on the back of all these settlements that seem to be coming through and got absolutely no reply whatsoever. Tried ringing but just get answerphone. Getting really cheesed off at the moment as people who haven't even got to AQ stage are getting settled. I am even prepared to settle for a fair bit less at the moment due to circumstances.

I know what you mean there seems to be no pattern to it, either they have the most random game plan going or they fly by the seat of their pants. Totally sick of playing this waiting game. Still waiting to hear back from the court, although they did say a week or so, so expecting nothing until end of the week at the earliest. Just found out my court date wont be til Jan 08, so expecting to be bald when get there as Im sure to have pulled all my hair out by then. I just keep taking deep breaths......

WOULD IT NOT BE A BETTER IDEA TO COLLECTIVELY OR INDIVIDUALLY WRITE LETTERS TO THEIR BOSSES IN ABBEY INSTEAD INFORMING THEM OF THEIR TIME-WASTING AND THE RESULTS OF SAID ACTION HAS FORCED AN EVEN BIGGER PAYOUT WITH THE RISK OF ONE OR TWO SLIPPING THROUGH INTO THE MERCANTILE COURTS??

I believe it is the Abbey bosses that are dictating the style of defence and delay tactics. To be honest I would probably get more sense from Ashursts than Abbey. Jules thanks for the info...I phoned the court today regarding the phone hearing and was advised that Ashursts have to arrange all the details for a telephone conference call and foot the bill. Tey must also provide the dial in information in a timely manner and the court suggested I contact them to get this information as soon as possible. I consequently sent a further email which suprise suprise still has no reply.......Talk about ignorant and unprofessional.

OK sent a few more emails but in particular one from my Outlook account so that I could put a read receipt and track it. I sent it to [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] I got an out of office from Ronan, unfortunately he has suffered a family bereavement poor chap and a delivery message from BCT but no delivery or read receipt after 24 hours from louise or Inga's address. Think I'll try again with the abbey addresses.

Hi Noobrider,

 

Hows it going, you're very quiet? Did you get your CPR Part 18 into the court? The judge for mine granted the order and Abbey have until 23 July to come up with the goods or "defence will be struck out". For me it was a total result as court date wasnt til next year so it will totally force their hand.

I think the judges use the whole process to give the courts more times, which is bad practice really!

well last Saturday I wrote an email to the whole crew..then another on Sunday and I was about to write one on monday when I noticed a reply from Clare ..she made me an offer of £8750 when I asked for £9018 and I accepted...partly because as I was preparing everything I noticed I had acyually put the court costs of 250 on twice...oops so in reality it was settled just 18 short of the full amount. Clare was very nice and posted the cheque Monday afternoon it arrived Tuesday and cleared today. Didn't want to pre empt any bad luck so kept quiet...however I have been very busy booking electricians, damp proof specialists and planning a new kitchen after they both rip all my plaster and current kitchen out...then today bought a HUGE telly a Wii ordered some parts for my lads bike a new sofa a few computer bits a new monitor for the kids and paid a couple of bills.....put a bit away for a rainy day too.

 

The funny thing was my bank rang me on Friday and said...we notice you have paid a large amount of money in your account and wondered what you intend to do with it?...Can we make an appointment for our savings manager to talk to you...lol

 

So thanks everyone...survey completed and donation made
