    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • 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.

Hi there all,

 

am new to this and wondered if anyone of you clever people out there can tell me whether if you get your bank charges back .........and I say if and when!!!!! can you stipulate how they pay it, ie can you ask them to make out a cheque for the amount to a certain person or do you just have to accept that they will just pay it as and when into your account? Anybody got any hints on this or any experience of asking for it to be paid to a particular place and getting it done?, hope this makes sense, cheers, Hannahbeans ( Cat's nickname! LOL):p

cant answer that chop but congratulations:grin:

 

Thanks Tilly :grin:

 

I phoned them a while ago but CR was close so the lady on phone couldn't give me much help but she said that it looked like the payment was for charges and interest.

 

Definately not the right amount though!

 

Got an offer from Cap one today too so at least there has been some movement! Just a bit concerned about the Halifax one as due to the bank holiday weekend they only have until this Friday to file a defence!

 

Deal or no deal :???::???::???::???: (or shall I phone the banker?!)

Charges = £2613.00

8% on Charges = £318.51

 

Overdraft Interest = £436.56

8% on Overdraft Interest = £36.70

 

Court Costs = £120.00

 

Totalling 3524.77

 

 

 

Do your charges and interest match what you were paid?

 

If not then give them a ring tomorrow to see how it has been broken down, buy you accept as part payment and carry on for the rest.

 

Use the letter from the rejection letters.

hiya SS,

 

Cheers for the quick response ;)

 

Will give em a rinf tomorrow to see what the money is all about and then probably send a partial acceptance letter.

 

If I accept as partial payment do I need to inform MCOL?

 

 

The money was not everything I claimed for.

 

Cheers

Thanks S,

 

Your help is much appreciated!!

 

Will ring and see what happens, ya never know they might give me the rest :grin: if not i'll let them know I will continue.

 

Sorry to be a pain but I assume it would be sensible to send a recorded letter saying accept in part but will continue? Then phone MCOL or write them also?

 

Cheers :grin: Hopefully be all over soon......then I'll start on the next Hali claim :grin:

Hi Mackem,

 

Been at work all day so have just got back and have received a letter from Halifax giving me a breakdown of what they have paid into my account (On purely a commercial basis of course!).

 

They have paid £2643.00 in respect of bank charges (full amount)

 

£337.89 in respect of approximate interest that halifax has calculated.

 

£120.00 court costs

 

'The Halifax does not consider that you are entitled to the further £423.88 that you are claiming. Unless you can provide evidence of this further loss the Halifax will file a defence in respect of this part of your claim'

 

Surely the spreadsheets are evidence enough for them???

 

 

Will now ring them and see what they have to say for themselves.......

 

Watch this space.

Hi again!

 

OK, just got off the phone to them with no extra money as yet.

 

I said to the lady that I had already sent (twice) copies of the schedule of charges with all the calculations as evidence to prove the £423.88 was still owed by them. She looked on her screen etc and agreed this and said that she would send this up to the legal department to check and they may or may not instruct her to pay this.

 

I did remind her that due to the bank holiday there was very little time to send letters etc before the deadline was up and she said it should go to the legal dept. today who should get back very soon!

 

I will now have to ring MCOL and let them know Halifax have part paid.

 

I will also write to the Halifax to let them know I accept this part payment etc.

 

Time is getting short!

Hi Mackem,

 

I am just going to send off leter 5, I won't add about the partial payment but will add that I had a converstaion with hali yesterday and they said it is being referred to legal dept.

 

I don't know but maybe we have to offer it back to them if we are not accepting in full and final? Although thinking about it they didn't actually offer it to me in full and final in the letter I received yestersday.

 

Am at work at the mo so will post when I have decided on the format of the letter.

 

Good luck again.

Hi Everyone,

 

OK - Halifax had until Tuesday 29th to defend my claim and they didn't. They did pay some of money into my account but I have not written and accepted this or dclined it. I did however inform MCOL about it who told me to continue with the claim if I was not satisfied with the part payment.

 

 

I am now able to tick the file judgement box on the MCOL site - shall I do this as soon as poss or shall I write to them first giving them a few days to pay up or I will file judgement?

 

 

Many thanks

Hi all,

 

I phoned Halifax who said they really weren't going to pay me anymore money. I said that the deadline for filing a defence had passed and would give them 7 days to pay the remainder or I would file judgement.

 

Since then I phoned MCOL and they have said that Halifax have filed a defence but it came through on 30th (the deadline was the 29th!) but the defence would still be accepted as there is a huge backlog etc etc.

 

So am now waiting for MCOL to write and let me know they have defended.

 

I now need to start reading up on AQ's etc!

 

I assume that they are correct and that even though the deadline has passed their defence can still be accepted?

 

The saga continues!

hi again!

 

Have been reading through the guidance notes on this site and have a query...

 

When Halifax paid the part payment into my account they wrote a letter saying they would defend the remainder of the claim, which is 423.88. The original claim was for 3524.77.

 

Does this now mean that my claim is only for the remainder of the claim ie the 423.88? Or will the court still take the whole amount of the claim into account even though a lot of it has settled?

 

Would be useful if it now only 423.88 as it would mean I don't have to pay the £100 Allocation Questionnaire fee.

 

Does anyone know about this?

 

Many thanks
