    • Well that will lead to more backdoor CCJs. I think you need to complain to all and sundry.  Let's start with the BPA.  The BPA are PE's mates, so they will never decide that PE have done anything wrong.  But that's not the point, correspondence between the two may lead to PE promising to write to the Scottish address, which is all you want.  Check the below for accuracy as methinks you have sent more correspondence that what I've quoted.  How about something like - Dear BPA, Re : Parkingeye Ltd PCN no.XXXXX, Claim no.XXXXX PCN no.XXXXX I am writing to complain about your above-mentioned member. I understand of course that you cannot enter into the merits of why a PCN was issued. The reason for my complaint is that, instead of writing to me at my address at XXXXX, Scotland, your member insists in writing to me at XXXXX, England, which is an address which I have never lived at.  I have always resided at the Scottish address.  The address registered with the DVLA for the vehicle is my Scottish address. I first because aware of this mess when the person who lives at the English address kindly contacted me, to tell me that a County Court Judgement for me had arrived at that address.  I requested that Parking Eye agree to a set aside by consent.  However, they refused.  I ended up paying £XXX despite having had no chance to defend myself. Regardng the second PCN, I attach correspondence dated XX February and XX March.  The latter was a complaint - which your operator has completely ignored.  Even worse, they have instructed debt collecting agencies twice to write to the English address.  On top of this, the person at the English address is moving out next week which means I am in danger a second time of losing a court case by default. I would therefore like to complain about your operator and would request that you instruct them to do what should be a simple thing - to write to me at my correct address. Yours, XXXXX

    • Hello DX -  So an update:  Resolvecall have written to say they have closed the account with them and passed it back to Capquest after receipt of my SB letter. Capquest have written twice, once offering a payment plan and the second letter after receiving my SB letter saying they are looking into my complaint and will respond within 8 weeks.   Absolutely no mention of what the debt is, was or from when or any details still.   Is this a case now of waiting to see what they come back with or is now the moment for me to send another letter via Solicitor please?

    • 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 initial thoughts are to reject this, since I have pleaded unauthorised, authorised and statutory in the alternative. I therefore believe that the worse I would get in court would be the same as this offer.

 

As I do not believe the bank will allow this to get to court as the legality of the bank charges will have to be argued before the interest I believe this is a safe strategy.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or done something similar?

 

Thanks

Monty

Hi Monty - General advice seems to be that if you get an offer of all the charges + interest paid on them + 8% int that you should accept the offer.

 

Is this what you have been offered? :)

Yes agreed.

There have been both wins and losses on this one,with some Judges saying that the higher rate could be classed as punitive within itself towards the defendants.

Its up to you to decide.Info on this is available on many threads across the site.We do suggest that if you are offered the full settlement with 8% and it has not gone to hearing,to accept.

Have you actually filed an N1 yet ?

Thanks Martin and Chez for the advice.

 

I've submitted N1 and AQ but have not been asked for court bundle yet. With what happened to Kev yesterday it's sent the jitters in me a bit, so I am tempted to take this and am also worried about how a judge would view a refusal of this offer. As I have reached AQ stage, can I write back and also claim the AQ fee? I am out of pocket for the court fee and Aq fee, and the cheque is made out to me but stating I have to pay it into the RBS account - it's frozen and part of a DMP. Also, the numeric and word amounts do not match - not sure if this is deliberate or a istake (probably the latter). Can they force me into paying the money into a specific account, or am I within my rights to tell them to give it to me unconditionally?

 

Thanks guys.

Did you settle at 8%? I have just received a copy of their defence from Cobbets Solicitors, I believe I should receive same from the court is that correct? Is it a difficult document to complete? At what point did they make you the offer?

Hi Winifa

 

I haven't yet, but probably will. The cheque is made out wrongly anyway as the written and numeric amounts don't match, so I don't think I can pay it in like that. Additionally, they have written on the pay line the account number to pay it into, but I do not believe they can dictate what I do with it - I owe RBS more than they are paying me, but don't use the account any more. Otherwise I guess they could just pay it in, although I guess I would have to agree to that as a full and final settlement, which I probably wouldn't.

 

You should get a copy of the defence from the court also when you get the AQ. It's easy to fill out - just make sure you follow the guidance in the library for completing it, and include the draft order for disclosure (the updated one - the link should be in the library).

 

Cheers

Monty
