    • 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.

i received an call today from the bromley county court asking if i had received my acceptance letter for a ''listening hearing'' on the 18th of this week! ergh what the hell is this you guys they said they will send another letter out to me with all the details and the man said he couldnt give me all the details over the phone? how the guy was talking over the phone it sounded like some sort of ''mediation'' thing

 

im confused yet again

did you tell him that you have accepted an offer from them?

i'd def ring them back and tell them that an offer was issued and accepted by you and you are awaiting your money - and that you will write to them to halt the claim just as soon as the money arrives - that should be enough for them to delay that hearing. they may want it in writing.

 

and you know what, phil - if it was me - i would copy the acceptance letter and send it to DG -(although it is just 9 working days since you accepted - so it may come very soon - have you checked your balance?)

 

ring the court with that above tomorrow

yeah i told them that i had accepted an offer on the 2nd they then told me well shouldnt they have paid up if they were going to give you the money!yes you heard right and that it doesnt seem likely that the bank will pay up without this hearing?:confused:

 

they said they can halt the hearing if thats what i want to do but geting another hearing will not be available until after the summer the guy really seemed to be pushing me into doing this hearing thing like it is the only real option i have?

 

i have already my sent my second copy of my acceptance leter last week and and have called them to see if they have recived either letter but i havent had a response

I would ring dg again in the morning. As you have had an offer and you have accepted it, I would have thought they have to pay you. The guy at the court is just following orders by the sound of it. As lat says, it has not been 10 days yet so check the post and check your account in the morning.:)

all this drama i just either want the money or for them to set a court date all this back and forth stuff doing my head in, i doubt i will recive anything tommorow just a gut feeling if i was dg would have responded to my letters and phone call and said yes they have got it etc

i will check in the moring as i normally do but if i dont receive anything then im just going to wait for the letter from the court and just through with the ''listening hearing''

Now just hold on there just a godam minute!

You have done all the hard work and received an offer. You have accepted the offer. They now owe you that money. If they don't pay you, send in the baliffs. I am sure there are threads somewhere on this subject that someone will point you to if you need it.

Why would you want to go through with this listening thing when oyu already have your offer?

Ring the court and ask to halt the hearing until after the summer. So what. You will have your money by then either through normal process or the baliffs. I am not sure how long it would take using baliffs but I would have thought it would be fairly quick.

Now calm down dear and have a large sambuka, kick back and chill for a few hours1

Think positive:D

:o:o

 

jeeze! i know what you saying but the fact is yes i have accepted there offer but as of now i have got the money so what do i really have to lose by going to the hearing?

as you and laterauls said the money might well come b4 friday but what if it doesnt maybe the hearing might speed things along dont you think?

No i don't think it will speed things up. Lets say you hadn't had the offer or accepted and it went to hearing and was judged in your favour. They would then be liable from the date of that judgement to pay you. You would then have to wait another 10 days oor so. But you also might still not receive it then and have to send in the baliffs.

As I see it they are now obligated by law to pay you what they offered, so just chase it up and put the brakes on the court stuff.

Ypu have reached the end! You just want the money now! Chase that up and forget the court side!

This is only my oppinion based on the information I have learned from other threads. I am sure others will either back me up or not very soon.

Please stop worrying so much. I am feeling stressed for you. It will all come right very soon.:)

Ask the court what the hearing is about and what you need to take, I suspect it will be just a chat with the District Judge to see if he can force the solicitors hand.

 

Phone DG and tell them as they havent deposited the money you consider this to be a breach in the terms of the settlement and you will see them in court.

 

Dont worry all the district judges I have met are very nice people and he wont be angry with you. I bet ya get ya money damn quick then

agree with pete and if you don't get them on the phone - could you fax them - they don't ignore faxes - and just say i am just waiting for the money but if it isn't here by friday i'll see you in court and i will take all my copies of my letters to you to show the court how i've done all the chasing. and i don't think the judge will be pleased with you wasting their time.

thankyou guys for your opinion they have managed to ignore both my faxes so im not sure sending them another one will benefit,but i guess i havent got anything else to lose

 

but i will write out my letter to dg today then send them the fax tommorow morning after i check my balance if i receive my money up till thursday then i will cancel the hearing thing if not i will just go to the hearing and see what they have to say

i think thats fair?

Surley their delay has added further interest has it not!

 

If you decide not to claim additional interest I would certainly apply in writing to the court for wasted costs on the grounds that their behaviour has been unreasonable & an abuse of process
