    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 jshtr3,

Just wondering if you've had your cheque yet?

Have been guided to your post as **** had until yesterday to file their AQ on my claim and still haven't today. Court told me that I could drop a letter in on Monday to ask for judgement by default but being advised not to due to the delay in them then paying up. Is this your advice too?

Thanks

Sam

Calm1 No it's really not a stupid question, thats a large amount your owed and you need to do it properly. I posted on your thread yesterday. Have you written a letter asking for the money back within a timescale. If not do that first. As one of your claims is so high in value you will need to get a high court writ if it gets that far, see this post from HagenUK http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/73807-jshtr3-lloyds-tsb-2.html#post839783. That being the case I would have thought you'll end up merging them. Send the letter to Lloyds and [problem] first and then post on your thread or send a private message to Hagen if they dont respond. He seems to have lots of knowledge in this area and I have no experience of the high court process, so it would be the blind leading the blind I'm afraid.

Nestie. No cheque yet but not surprised really. They drag most other stages of the process out so why not the paying up bit? The advice you've been given is correct. Write to them asking to file AQ or you'll apply for default judgement.

Update.... No cheque yet, Just spoken to [problem]. Rob said they requested a cheque (not posted as originally stated, lying bunch of croutons) last monday. If no cheque by wednesday suggested I ring back and they'll organise a BACS transfer. Whilst i've been waiting i've managed to get some blood out of a stone and perfected the art of alchemy!!!! How hard can it be sending a cheque from an account with billions of pounds in it????????????????

No, they're still playing ping pong with it. Just spoken to them again. Apparantly they are dealing with 300 claims per week. Said "not my problem but the bailif will be your problem soon if I don't get my money" Someone has gone to look for my doccuments and they'll ring back tommorow to sort out bacs transfer. Think if I'd still had an account open with them I'd have been paid by now. Ah well :)

Well, it finally arrived this morning, less the £55 for the warrant which "is in the post". I applied for wasted costs last week so we'll see how that goes??? Bottom line is

Thanks Barty, This site and people like you who work tirelessly and selflessly have enabled me to take control over the financial side of life again. The confidence I've regained by fighting back is priceless and yet everyone here does it for free. Somehow "thak you" doesn't seem to say enough. I'll be donating when the cheque clears.

Hello everyone. Seems I was a little hasty. Checked my account online just now and the cheque from [problem] has been returned UNPAID. If only swearing were allowed. Any ideas anyone???

Looks like they may be getting a £35 charge from their bank! HAve you tried to call SC&M to find out what's happening? What were the reasons given for the cheque being returned?

Didn't give reason just "returned unpaid" Think they've cancelled it at their end. They said last week they were sending another cheque as it was over 3 weeks since they sent the 1st. I rang when I recieved the cheque and asked if I should bank it. They said yes. No one answering the phones now.

Well I would have seriously peed my pants if they had said "insufficient funds" LOL, especially considering all the payouts they are making! I think the three week thing is not that important, unless for accounting purposes, as cheques have a shelf life of 6 months (I think - maybe more). Well, not honouring a cheque and writing it is actually an offence. A friend of mine wrote a final cheque for her wedding dress, tried it on after the last alterations and it turned out that someone had cut 4 inches of the bottom by mistake and sewn it back on. As she was getting married in the moring she had no option but to write the cheque, to at least, have a dress (I assure you it was not cheap!). Anyway, because the wedding dress woman had her over a barrel, she cancelled the cheque. Before she knew it she was arrested and taken down the nick and questioned!!! This was a few years ago, but there is clearly room for recourse - I understand it is fraud, as she had obtained good under false pretence to pay! Your case is slightly different, but I do think that you could do something here. I hope an Eagle sees this and can point you in the right direction. How hilarious to be able to do something to SC&M.

Thanks for that. Shame about your mates dress. Not too good a start to married life is it? It would be good to get my own back a bit but really all I want is my dosh. I foolishly ordered £600 worth of windows yesterday on the strength of the heque and I've got to find that next week. BUM:mad:

Just to be a bit pedantic - Yes I have been told that it is illegal to write out a Business cheque which you know will bounce. However, they may have cancelled the cheque their end because they believed it hadn't been delivered.

LTSB are now that busy that they are paying staff overtime to make sure that payments are going out after court orders. I have found out today that even with o/t it is still taking them 4 - 6 weeks to make a payment.

So how many claims are they settling to take this long? :D

broke dave v LTSB WON £3840 2 weeks before court.

Mrs broke dave v Barclays accepted offer £355.

broke dave v LTSB (Business) Prelim stage.

broke dave v LTSB (2nd Claim) LBA stage.
