    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • good spot...though i'm unsure, but it does seem like it can't be related to this latest issue as the OP mentions she knew nothing about the  order. dx

    • 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.

There is nothing difficult about the MCOL forms, once you have registered you can fill in as much or as little as you want, if you find a question you don’t have the information for or don’t understand you can log off find the answer and go back again so its all correct and ready for the day when you need to submit it.

Nearly there - pressing the SUBMIT button tomorrow. Do I reserve the right to charge interest? They then bring up a text box if I put yes asking me in include wording but with the particulars Lats sent me the extra wording won't fit in. What would the daily interest rate be? With the particulars Lats sent does it cover this as it refers to Section 69 just doesn't say anything about what I am going to charge as a daily rate from the point of the claim.:confused:

 

Sorry to be so dependant...

 

For all of you out there in my shoes MCOL isn't as daunting as I thought it was!!:-)

yes, on the interest.

that's why i put on my partics for example that i send out - i didn't put it into the claim and i didn't get it back - so, you need to fit in "and interest at daily rate of (charges w/o interest x 0.00022) -mine would have been about 40pence a day on charges of 1800 as an example.

in a few days you will get a notice of service - check the date - they get 14 days from that date to acknowledge -

when they acknowledge - you get a notice of acknowledgment from the court - then they have another 14 to file a defense - 28 in total from the service(issue) date.

 

 

Once you have filed your claim, you need to send 2 copies of your schedule of charges, clearly marked with your claim no. + a brief covering letter asking for them to be filed with your claim to:

 

 

 

The Court Manager,

Money Claim Online

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

(Your Name) –v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a schedule of penalty charges taken from me by the defendant, along with interest claimed at the annual rate of 8% pursuant to section 69 of the County Court Act. The interest in addition to the amount in charges equates to the total amount of my claim, namely £(AMOUNT).

 

I respectfully request that the enclosed schedule should be attached to the particulars of my claim.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Wait until you receive the Notice of Acknowledgement (not the Notice of Issue) from the court and then send a copy to the bank’s solicitors, since they are the ones who will now be dealing with your claim. DG's details will be listed on page 2 of the ack.

 

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

(Your Name) -v- (Bank)

Claim No: ********

Date Issued: xx/xx/xx

 

Please find enclosed a copy of my schedule of charges relating to the above claim.

 

(If, and only if, you are claiming overdraft interest on your penalties, also include this paragraph)

 

 

I understand you have a policy of initially rejecting claims for overdraft interest. However, should this be the case after you have reviewed my claim, you should be aware that my claim for overdraft interest has been meticulously calculated and double checked. It only ever relates to the cumulative charges within the overdrawn balance of the account at the point that the overdraft interest was debited

 

If it is that in your view the interest is not claimable, I am prepared to discuss this with yourseves and the judge in court.

 

Yours sincerely,

Sorry if I am being a bit slow... when you say once I have filed my claim send 2 copies to the court do you mean send it now or wait until I have had my acknowledgement-I am assuming wait until I have had my acknowledgement so that I have an exact address to send it to. Am I right?

 

It's all go at this end... can't beleive it has gone this far.

 

Have you had your money yet Netty?

You will have to wait until you get your Notice of Acknowledgement in the post before you send DG your details but there is no reason why you shouldn’t send a copy to the court now if you want.

Netty's had 2 pay outs now but she’s greedy

It gets like that, I'm looking through old mortgage redemption statements to see if there are any charges, I have applied for copies of all statements for every card, account and loan I have ever had. THese lenders/banks are not going to know what has hit them!

 

I am quite happy for HSBC to take as long as they want because it is more money in my pocket!:p

I work for a solicitors who deal with remortgages for C&G and Chelsea Building Society. We generally transfer peoples debt into a mortgage and secure it to their property. I was calling Halifax the other day for a redemption statment and going through the options as you do and it said press 1 if you are calling regarding the FSC announement regarding administration charges. Do you know what this is? Does it mean they are finding a loop hole out of this?:confused:

When the OFT published their report into credit card charges they said they thought the cost was about 49 pence per transaction and the card companies should not charge more than £12.00 (this is still just under two thousand five hundred percent mark up.. nice work if you can get it).

 

Since then the credit card companies have been claiming £12.00 as an accepted cost and even some judges in Ireland have now accepted this. IT’S NOT.

 

I assume the Banks have got either a pre-published copy or a leaked copy of the OFT report into bank charges and are setting out their stall to do the same.

 

TWO THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED PERCENT is NOT an acceptable mark up for a high street business it amounts to nothing more than theft from those who are least able to pay and we should continue to demand disclosure of the banks costs ignoring any theoretical figures the OFT publish and the banks try to use as "proof" of fair trading.

  • 2 weeks later...

I thought I was into my forth week but it looks like the acknowledgment of service was dated 29th March so I am only just over 2 weeks into it. Still not heard a thing though. Is there anything I can do to push it forward.

 

What is the next step?

Hi Netty

 

Just been looking through other forums for your responses. They seem really helpful so I'm glad you've dropped a line on my thread.

 

I am going to sit over the weekend an add more charges from February which was when I first filed and now as my accounts are in a bit of a mess and I think HSBC have been a bit happy with the charges - got married in Jan and had rather of an expensive honeymoon, to top it off started new job and have to wait 6 weeks for pay day.

 

never mind - as you said all good things but I'm hoping to pay my car off with it which will save me having to sork a second job. All in all I think I have worked a second job over the past 7 years just to pay bank charges. What a joke!!!

if you are going to change your claim figure with mcol it will cost a further £35 non refundable and also, you would have to file the claim all over again. i would file a seperate claim when this one's done and dusted.

If i've been helpful in any way....then tip my scales over there!

Will do - going through bank statements and they have been really nice - what do you know, no bank charges for unauthorised OD!!

 

Get this - when sending my claim I also done a claim for my husband, I sent the initial letter and then the LBA but didn't proceed to take action as couldn't justify 2 lots of £120 if it didn't go through. He had a letter in the post this morning saying they would pay up £782.00!! and I'm still waiting. I am hoping that this is because I am owed almost £4000.00 now with interest and court costs - well at least I hope so.:p

 

Have you heard anything pinkdutchess??
