    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

my county court is in Guildford and thats miles away???

Bonnie

 

I bet you're talking 'townie' miles which everyone knows are much shorter than country miles! And I bet you've got buses that run more often than once a day! I had to take my N1 33 miles to deliver it and then come 33 miles back ~ a very satisfying journey!

(I do love living in Mid Wales, but I miss the town ~just a little bit, occasionally~ for things like buses, shops, banks that are open on more than 3 days a week!)

 

I think N1 is best too, and Robd is right about using the post though!

 

Good Luck

Bonnie,

 

have a read of this, its from Bankfodder and explains some of the facts behind the judgement

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-825486.html

 

Having read it a couple of time snow, it appears that the calim was only half done and didn't go into as much detail as advised.

 

It's my opinion that completing your claim the way specified here is more important than ever. Yours is going fine, but you'll be suprised how many people I help who haven't got the slightest idea, have submited court paperwork without thinking about it (one guy today didn't have a speadsheet, interest, or even an exact amount of the claim....he should be worried).

 

Above all relax, and trust this site. If things change then new ways will be found to combat the change, but I think this was just a rogue case, with a badly concieved case, and a slightly dodgy judge.

 

To cap it all, I don't think the claimant was a member here, and didn't have us to advise him:D, so what chance did he have in the first place?

This was a post I answered earlier (and I advised him to start again)

 

Hi

Not sure if this will post in the right place if not I apologise. But have just printed off your N1 form for reference and there are 2 points I don't understand.

A) the bit under value that says interest under county court etc? What does that mean?

B)And it says attach schedule of charges? Huh!!?

 

I know that I am being thick but I claimed my charges based on an estimate and therefore don't have any schedule etc.!! Is it necessary? What do I do if I only have Guesstimates? And therefore only have totals?

thanks

:eek:

 

And the worst thing is, he was advised to read the FAQ's and step-by-step instructions a few weeks ago. It's obvious he didn't bother.

 

He said he didn't want to start again, and wondered how he would do so.

 

This is the type of claim that the banks could defend and win:(

Louis, That's a shocking quote you've put up. After all the work that people have put in on here to help each other and someone like this just jeopardises everything we do :mad: :mad: by allowing the banks an easy defence.

Bonnie, your right.

 

I do spend far too much time here, and help people wherever I can. You will be suprised how many time I give advice, only to find out later they ignored it and are crying out for help to solve a new problem.

 

Your claim is fine. You do ask questions, but there proper questions and you listen to the answers. I am not a great expert, but have been doing this for a while and can help wit the basics. I honestly think its fine to ask questions, as mistakes are easily made but not easily resolved.

 

So keep asking away, and well keep answering. In a few weeks/months, you will have won, and then you will be giving advice and answering questions (whilst having a cold one on the patio:D)

Bonnie,

 

with the N1 I made three mistakes on the form before I got it right, so print off a test one before you go for all 4 because they take a hell of a lot of ink

Can someone check my N1 form over pls for right amounts/spelling etc.... many thanx (these r the bits i had 2 type myself)!!

 

Charges: £1783.00

Interest under s.69 County Courts Act 1984: £576.61

Court Fee: £120.00

TOTAL: £2479.61

Plus interest pursuant to s.69 County Courts Act 1984 from date of issue to date of settlement at £0.39 per day OR at such rate and for such periods as the court deems just.

1. The Claimant had an account (Account no: ) with the defendant which was opened on or around November 2000 and closed around May 2004.

2. During the period in which the account was operating the Defendant debited numerous charges to the account in respect of purported breaches of contract on the part of the claimant and also charged interest on the charges once applied. The claimant understands that the defendant contends that the charges were debited in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract between itself and the claimant.

3. A list of the charges applied is attached to these particulars of claim.

4. The claimant contends that:

a) The charges debited to the account are punitive in nature; are not a genuine pre-estimate of cost incurred by the defendant ; exceed any alleged actual loss to the defendant in respect of any breeches of contract on the part of the claimant; and are not intended to represent or related to any alleged actual loss, but instead duly enrich the defendant which exercises the contractual term in respect of such charges with a view to profit.

b) The contractual provision that permits the defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable by virtue of the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations (1999), the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and the common law.

5. Accordingly the claimant claims:

a) The return of the amounts debited in respect of charges in the sum of £1783.00 and any interest charged thereon;

b) Court costs

c) The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year, from February 2001 to February 2007of £576.61 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgement or earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.39.

6. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the supply Of Goods and Services Act 1982.

Hi bonnie,

 

I've had a quick scan over and everything seems fine. I haven't spotted any typos or obvious errors. Take your full spready with interest on because you need to attach a copy of it to each of your N1's so you'll need threee copies

 

 

 

PS I know I'm an old F***, but I find it hard to understand text language on your posts.

All seems fine, calculations ok.

 

One query, did you include the court fee in the bit on the front form where it says Value, if you did it needs taking out, you only put the charges & s69 interest in there. The court fee goes in the box on the bottom right and is then included in the total amount.

 

Hope you can understand what I mean, it's only a little point but if you've done it wrong the bank will pick up on it & you don't want to give them any excuse.

 

You'll enjoy it when you get the papers from the court with the stamp and everything on them. If it's like our court it took 2 weeks to get them back, they had so many to do. :D

Hi charley, thank u and sorry for the texting, its such a habit now i dont even know im doing it (plus im lazy)!

 

Rbdblynd..... thank u aswell and i have put it in the "Value" box, damn!!!! Does that mean ive gotta print another 4 copies off??? I see what you all mean about ink used if you make a mistake!!

 

OH NO!!! ive just realised i cant just print another 4 copies off, ive gotta type them all again........ sob sob..... is there no way i could get away with it???????

 

Regards Bonnie

You need three copies.............you; the Abbey; the court, plus three copies of your schedule of charges, plus £100. The court stamps all three, numbers them with a claim number, gives you one back and keeps two, and takes your money off you:(

 

And you walk out with a smile on your face thinking............let battle commence:D

 

 

but...........if you make a mistake on your schedule of charges, then it'll cost you £35 to put it right, and it will delay your claim, and you can't get it back. So it's worthwhile making sure your schedule is 100% bob on

The court allowed me to hand write amendments on the N1, with crossings out and all sorts, so you may well be fine. There doesn't seem to be any consistency about how the courts operate, but I think most people on here would agree that the court staff are extremely helpful and understanding, and help you in any way they can.

I'd give them a ring and ask if it's ok to tippex it out and hand write in the new details. They're usually really good cos they know we're not solicitors etc.

 

Ddon't fret, it won't take a sec to alter and then you're on your way. :)

Me again!! Just spoke to a very helpful lady at the court and she said that u only add the court fee in the "Amount Claimed" box (thank u Robdblynd) and i can just put a line through the one i put in the "Value" section... "As long as its legible" quote. Thats a relief.

All ready to go now (checked and doublechecked my daily charge as i wasnt sure, but it still comes up with same figure).

Will post tomorrow pm after ive been to the court to give u the latest (gotta have a nite off this cos its frazzling my head big time)!

C ya

Well its official now, theres no going back!! :o

Claim filed today at staines county court and now im really pooping myself.:(

The woman there told me that because of the sheer volume of Bank Charges claims they're all being allocated to Guildford court, where theres a judge there (female :o ) who deals specifically with bank charge claims.

Guess i'll just wait and c what happens next, but any hints/tips would be welcomed!! 8)

Off 4 a glass of red wine now to relax 4 a while
