    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • 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.

    • 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?

a) a shedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount and reason given if any for that charge being made;

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

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;

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.
