    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?  
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • 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.

    • 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.

No i cant tell you why participants have to use such stupid language as i am not entirely sure what you are referring to as 'stupid language' langwell.

 

My english is fine, however i personally like to use abbreviations for speed, and the use of as many apostrophes, commas, colons, ellipsis, exclamation marks, guillemets, hyphens, question and quotation marks as necessary to give warmth, humour and emotion to everything i write.....

Can you tell me why participants have to use such stupid language - what is wrong with good Engish -so many silly abbreviations, commas, apostrophies [is that right] - it all seems so juvenile.

 

Perhaps I am just a crotchety old dear. Love to everybody.

Hmmm disappointed Langwell...

 

.....Nothing supportive to say ?????????

 

,,,,,,then May I suggest the best policy is """"say nothing at all!!!"""""

 

You keep going bozzie.

Phew! Im still going... Just about.... Lol!

 

Thank you (for what must be the hundreth time!) again for your support!

 

Just getting my teeth stuck into preparing the documents to send to the court. Ive already got a huge pile of photocopying to amuse me tomorrow :roll:

 

Still need advice (i say advice, what i probably need is it translating into good old plain english, possibly including some sort of example to set me on my way!) as too what i should include for:

 

c) a statement of evidence of all matters relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise;

d) copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon

 

I think d) is covered under the court bundle template from this site?

 

c) is still the scariest one! Answers on a postcard too...

They are just asking you to provide evidence that you will rely on in court to support your claim, yes this is the basic court bundle.

 

added to your SOC's and letters of correspondence to the defendant.

and any other info you want to throw in there but to be honest the basic bundle is tried n tested so why rock the boat?

 

and anyway. Barclays aint gonna go to the trouble of putting one together are they?

Bozzie, 14 days max...

 

why?

 

cos this is the deadline for Barclays to submit their bundle and we all know that just aint gonna happen.

 

you could even be cheeky, bit the bullet, jump the gun and call them, saying

 

you have been to the court to submit your court bundle and been informed that Barclays have not yet.

You have been advised to attempt negotiations in connection with this claim to settle the matter amicably before it goes to court.

 

[well you have been advised!.............by me]

 

if youve been ordered to submit, whens your court date?

c) a statement of evidence of all matter relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalites or otherwise;

d) copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

 

If the claimant fails to comply with this order the claim will be struck out without further order.

 

The defendant shall within 14 thereafer file and seve a reponse to the claimants schedule stating in respect of each item claimed:

 

a) pursuant to what contractual provision such charge was made, producing a copy of the contractual document relied upon;

b) whether such charge is accepted to be a penalty, and if not why not;

c) if such charge is alleged to be a pre-estimate of the defendants loss incurred by the claimant's actions (whether or not such action is treated as a breach of contract between the parties_, all facts and matters intended to be relied upon as showing that such was a proper estimate of such loss, and all evidence to be adduced at trial as to what the true cost of dealing with the matter was;

d)if such charge is not alleged to be pre-estimate of the defendants loss incurred by the claimants actions then facts and matters intended tp be relied upon showing the basis upon which the charge was calculated and all evidence to be adduced at trial to show that the charge was unfai and reasonable.

Dont worry too much as long as they are in possession of the details you are claiming, i.e SOC's thats all they need, plus youve saved the job of sending in the bundle later havent you,

 

Did you send them by recorded delivery or hand delivered , did you get a receipt?

HELP HELP HELP!!

 

Guess what guys.... i just received a letter offering the FULL AMOUNT yaaaaaaay!

 

I WIN!!!!

 

However need some advice they want me to cancel court action and send a copy of the letter to them with this signed letter and then they will give me my money... but i want the cash first!

 

In fact the letter says:

 

As you will have seen from our defence, we disagree with your legal analysis that the charges levied to you account with Barclays amount to penalty clauses and are unfair. We do, however, recognise that it is not cost effective fir either party to take this matter to trial. Therefore, in order to acoid the inevitable time and cost associated with pursuing the claim to trial, we are prepared to settle your claim upon payment of the charges applied to your account, together with any statutory interest you have claimed and costs totalling (x) subject to the terms set out in this letter.

This offer to pay (x) is in full and final settlement of your claim and is strictly without any admission of liability on our part. By accepting this offer, you also agree that the existence and the terms of this offer are confidential between us.

If you agree to the terms of this letter, please sign and return a signed copy of this letter to me at the above address within the next 7 days. You will also need to notify the county court in writing that you have discontinued your claim against us. Please forward a copy of you letter to the court when you return a signed copy of this letter to us.

 

etc etc

 

What do i do?!

 

Do i enclose a copy of letter to the court and say i will send it when i have received the funds? And are the terms in the letter standard?!

 

PLEASE HELP!!

 

:D :D :confused::D:p

Hi

 

Cross out any of the terms you disagree with, sign it and send it back, If you call them you may well be able to fax it and have the funds today. Do not call off court action until you have the cash.
