    • So I just found a couple abandoned traffic cones locally by some bins.   A bit squished but free!  So have placed them on the land.  Will wait to see if the cones get moved and signs ignored again this week before I consider rocks/ boulders.
    • 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 the 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. So if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place and park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and then unload the children followed by reloading the children getting seat belts on etc before 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.

Hi, received a letter from Northampton County Court yesterday. It says a defence to my claim has now been filed.

 

On the second page: "It is oredered that the filing of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case unless the District Judge at the court of transfer orders otherwise." I have also received a copy of the bank's Defence and Counterclaim sheets.

 

What is my next step? I presume I fill in the AQ, but I have not received it yet. Does this arrive separately?

Hi,

 

It looks like you may not need to fill in an AQ look like the courts are now trying to bypass the AQ due sheer volume.

 

 

Have a look at lateralus thread New---after 28 Days - Maybe No Aq!!!!!!!

 

 

And my thread No AQ - Straight to PRE TRIAL REVIEW

 

By the sounds of it you are about 1week behind me in the process

Cheers, just saw Laterus's thread. My Notice of Transfer of Proceedings was actually 29th March. But had it sent to me here in N. Ireland via Manchester. That's why I only received it yesterday.

I Think you will in a week or so get another letter from the court which will be a Date for a Pre Trial Review (PTR). Id would not hurt to remind DG Every now and again on the very first post of lateralus thread there is a sample letter it's well worth sending that as you next setp.

 

Keep going your Nearly there !!!

I had on my original Letter to HSBC I actually got two defaults

I dont think it would hurt to ask them.

 

Going through a debt managment plan with CCCS (absolutely saved my life) They advised I make all payments to them the would deal with HSBC which in effect they did.

 

One for my managed loan and the other - get this my normal account which they were taking the payment from which had a 0.00 balance the refused to cancel their internal standing order on two separate occasions.

 

Therefore every time the the tried to take payment I got charged after 6 month the told me that the were closing the account total of £300 in charges and a default on my credit file.

Right folks, I'm starting to get confused again with all this AQ and no AQ business :confused: :confused:

 

I did not have to fill in an AQ so on the 7th April I sent DG Sols a letter that I'm willing to accept blah blah blah!!

 

What's my next move? Do I just sit back and wait or should I push them a bit more?

Hiya yv,, have you received a notice of preliminary hearing... that seems to be the next step.... just received mine in post yesterday!! I take it you've sent your 1st nudge letter to dg... I suggest you send another after 10 days... I sent my first when I received notice of transfer! and Have just sent my 2nd nudge again stating I'm willing to accept ???

 

to be honest since I started this claim in Feb, I've not received anything from hsbc.. or dg (only through mcol ) have only spoken to dg twice as apparently its not a good idea to pester them (poor things are inundated with all our claims lol)

I've not received an aq either?

Yeah I sent them the 1st nudge letter when I received my notice of transfer. Just drafted up a 2nd one which is ready to go. I'm still adding an updated total including the daily 8%. Is this ok to do?

 

Is there a time limit on when DG have to answer now, or is it up to the court to push them?

Hi everyone,

 

Just finishing up my court bundle. Has to be in for next Friday (22nd) but hoping to get it away this coming Friday. For the OFT report, would it better to include the summary or the full report?

 

I already have both versions printed out so it means little odds to me. Just not sure what would be better.

 

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

No news yet. The bundle had to be in the court for 4pm today (22nd June). Was away all day so didn't get a chance to ring. Might ring the court on Monday morning to see if they received DG's bundle.

Hi folks,

 

Received a letter from DG Solicitors this morning. Basically they've offered me £30 less than what I've been claiming for. My court bundle had to be in for last Friday (22nd June). I phoned Manchester County Court this morning to try and find out if DG had their paperwork in, but nobody seemed able to answer me.

 

Anyway, I think I'm just going to accept the offer. What do you all think? I've a date set for court on 6th July, but accepting now should save me from booking a flight to Manchester.
