    • 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.

1 for you, (a copy of a claim isn't true unless sealed by the Court) 1 for the Court and 1 for the other side. (It should be served on them)

 

 

Yes but even three copys of a covering letter that says something like this.

 

Dear sir or madam.

 

case number XXXXXXX

 

am sending you these document because on XX february 2008 XXXXXXXXXX court transfered the case to you.

 

I am sorry if these documents get to you before the case file does but XXXXXXXXXX court were unable to confirm to me if these were in the file when it went over to you.

 

I am also sorry if they were there and please feel free to dispose of these if necessary.

 

Yours The GodMother?

 

 

Three copies of this seems stupid as the letter is just explaining what has happened. The other party is more than aware that the case has been transfered as we were both made aware when we telephoned the courts.

Im confused Godmother???

 

Are you inferring that I should hastily send out a letter to CL or something??

 

I did check with the Court and they said I only need hand one letter to the case manager. When I handed my letter in to the Court I asked if I should hand in another copy (just in case) & also stated that I had previously been told only one copy was required but wanted to double check.

 

She went away & returned, having gone to the person that I said I had spoken to, & accepted the one letter.

 

You dont think I have jeopardised anything do you as Im now feeling a little nervous?

sorry el no i am not saying anything.

 

I was commenting on a different post within the last page of the thread when car was saying about what the courts needed. you had previously mentioned to us you had seen a sign where it said photocopying £5 per sheet at your courts.

 

I had commented i thought it was stupid that the courts wanted 3 of everything including the coer letter and car had said it was 1 for my file 1 for courts file and 1 for other person/persons to be served.

 

i was saying they even require 3 copies of the covering letter i sent explaining the case had been tranfered.

 

sorry to have confused you.

IMHO, any letter sent to the Court asking for anything to be done - either at your request, or point out failures in the case under CPR, etc - should have a copy served on the other party.

 

To not do so leaves them with the option of saying they weren't aware of that information.

 

Having said that, anything that does effect the case should be served on them by the Court - that's what they are being paid for.

 

As a litigant in person, you'll get away with it even if you didn't, IMO.

 

The only time you wouldn't want something served on them would be if it wasn't required - a third party debt order would be a good example, where you are asking a third party for information relating to a Judgment debtors account and letting them know about it would be less advantageous.

 

Hope this doesn't confuse you further, EL, but I wanted to give my opinion on how "cases", in general, should be conducted. This doesn't necessarily apply to your case, though.

Thanks Paul & Car - phew thats a relief.

 

I must admit I do agree with PT. The last thing I want to do frankly is give them any type of opportunity at all.

Guys, any idea about my question in #404?????

 

Thanks.

By the way, the Judge will have made his decision today wont he?

 

If thats the case do I have to wait for a letter from the court or can I put the case number in via the internet & will it say there?

 

Many thanks,

EL

 

If a Judge has reviewed the case file, you'll need to ring the Court to find out what was decided or wait for a letter telling you.

Thanks Chris, thats great.

 

Im almost scared to call in case its bad news. :(

 

Should I leave it for a few days do you think or would the details etc have filtered down to admin by Monday/Tues??

 

Most Courts have a 5 day turnaround on paperwork, including instructions from Judges after reviewing case files. They might have to get the file, but they should be able to tell you what was decided when you call if you're prepared to wait for them to find it.

Any comments on why they would do that anyone?????

I'm guessing they use a standard template. I've noticed this with Bryan Carters POC's as well. They usually all say something like "cluase 7" which turns out upon inspection to be totally wrong.

If you knew no better you'd think they were right and they had you under that term in the contract. How many people really would check it?

Being the clause or term the claim is based on it's quite frankly a big gamble for them to do it. Unless they have the copy of the T&C's that you have you could argue that "clause 7" is not a reference to rights and duties.

Hi All,

 

Well letter from the Court arrived today....................and of course I didnt think I could be so fortunate to have things swing my way for once:( .

 

It appears this Judge is just desperate to have me lose, & digging his flaming claws in with this one.

 

He may as well just give it to CL on a plate to be honest.

 

The letter went as follows:

 

Your letter of the 26th February was referred to the District Judge who commented that the matter which you raise can be dealt at the hearing on the 26th March.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mr....

Claims section

 

So there you have it.

 

I feel totally depressed.

 

I clearly have to attend to desperately defend myself in a subject I hardly feel confidant at all in to get these "amazingly well supported by the Judge" hideous people. Believe me this Judge is NOT easy & throughout all of this he has made things very hard for me.

 

I dont know that I will be able to put everything to the Judge in the right manner. When I did that before he waved me off out of the court like I should walk ten paces behind him.

 

Maybe he's a masogonist??????

 

Guys, I think I really need a watertight defence else or the hard work is doomed. I really think that 26th March is D-Day. It wont go any further as this Judge I feel is looking to wrap things up.

 

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllp!!!!!

Is that your letter at post #389?

 

Sounds to me like the Judge just didn't want to read/take action without the parties being in front of him, IMO. I wouldn't let this defeat you at this stage - all is not lost...

 

What you will need, as you're so nervous, is a good skeleton argument to take with you on the day - this should keep you on track and ensure you get your points across without missing something major. It's more like a "script" for you to put your case across, so will help with the nerves.

 

Which Court is this, also, as we do have Court "Buddies" that might be able to come along as litigation friends to lend you a hand?
