    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 Kelley nice to have you back, I think we have all done as much as we can, other than appealing against the refusal, I don't think they will do a thing, but might be worth sending in appeals just to hassle them, cause more trouble might help. Have you seen the announcement today about the Bank of England releasing shed loads of money into the banking system? this means the government will definately not do anything now as they won't want to diadvantage the banks will they? so this is looking blacker than ever.

Hi Olden et al... When I called Cardiff about request to appeal against refusal to remove stay, they just said to write a letter to the Listings Manager at the court, and there is no charge. I am asking for oral hearing - see if I get one this time - but am going to include info about HSBC not submitting AQ by deadline some weeks before announcement of OFT case. I would suggest everyone asks for oral hearing, to keep the court busy - maybe we willall be given same date again - that would be fun :D

I know the advice is to stop banging our heads against a brick wall but I cant just sit here and do nothing! Mostyn said in post 750 that there was no fee to appeal against the refusal to remove the stay so could use the form N244 or send letters ?

why have you got a + after your name - see currently active users at bottom ?

 

think my post crossed with Mostyns!!

I just want to say, I rang and asked Cardiff Court if there was a fee to pay if I want to ask for the stay to be lifted and I was told to send a letter first (asking for the stay to be lifted) and if not successful then send in an N244 form along with the fee payable. I was told that I would have to pay and that it had not be waived.

Hi Lacey, will this be your first application to lift the stay or is it to lift the refusal to lift the stay (that sounds stupid but hope you follow!) ? But it looks like letters are free and a N244 has a fee - dont spend any more money, send in a letter first.

Dear Sir

 

I have been approached by my constituent,xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx expressing concern about the way overcharging complaints are to be handled.

 

Ms..... considers the recent arrangement between the FSA,Office of Fair Trading

and the UK banking industry to freeze out further overcharging complaints whilst

a test case is being brought is unfair, especially as banks are allowed to carry on

levying penalty charges on customers. She is also concerned that the FSA has

also allowed the banks to apply for a stay of all court proceedings of this nature

until the case has finished.

 

Ms.......feels this is unjust to customers; and arguable that such action might interfere with rights given under the Human Rights Act 1998

.

I would welcome your comments on the points raised by my constituent.

Yours sincerely

 

 

JESSICA MORDEN MP

Good try by Jessica shame she received the templated response from FSA - is the word cartell correct - Banks, OFT, FSA FOS and cobblers an all.

As I had not received a response from CCC on my stay objection I have just got off the phone to them. They lost mine!!! Eventually found in file they have on me pinned to the back of it - great... so it is NOW going up to Judge Hendicott today. Was told not to hold up any hopes, was told...... the truth is, its a paper exercise, the stay objections go to Judge Hendicott who issues the Form of Judgement that most of you have received. You then write in by letter to object and Judge Higginbottom will consider an oral hearing. I asked and what happens then at the oral to which I got a mmmmmm. I mentioned that it was all a farse, as it looks like the OFT case will probably not happen... was told that all the bank cases are kept separate to the normal court cases and that they were not aware of any news about the OFT case. Room here to be informative and fill the court in on what is actually happening when we send in our letters.... ??? hence, it would be useful to be able to get access to all those MP letters etc.,

Hi, received letter from Julie Morgan, MP for Cardiff North today - nothing exciting just to tell me (and enclose) two, basically acknowledgement letters from Sophie Fluin FOS and Kirsty Taylor FSA and that she will let me know when she gets "a more substantive response"

Hi Kashie, you can now write to the court for free with reasons (again) and you might get an oral hearing with Judge Higginbottom (see my post no 762)...other than that, not a lot! Have you looked in the 'General' thread, there is stuff supposed to be happening this coming week. xxx

Kashie,

 

Re the credit card, this should not have been stayed so contact the court or write to the court manager and ask for the case to reviewed urgently so the stay can be removed.

 

Slick

 

PS Less of the "giving up" talk. You probably won't avoid the bank case being stayed so concentrate on the Credit Card case.

We could do with some help from you

Hi Jenny, Can we get access to all those MP letters? I am sending in my letter of Appeal against the decision not to remove the stay, asking for an oral hearing ( I know I did before but the wording on the N24 i.e. 'the submissions be treated as an application' ) bugged me since I had submitted not only one but two (amended oral hearing) of the damned things with letter of objection. so what else can I hit them with now?

Hi, Well I am really confused now, I wrote to Judge Hickingbottom in Cardiff Court asking for any stay on my case to be lifted (as I have already said before) and as you all know from my previous posts, I was refused.

 

In the last couple of days, I have had a letter of DG Solicitors, telling me that they intend asking for the case to be stayed. I was under the impression that my case had been stayed along with everyone elses.

 

Why would the judge refuse my request (on the grounds of financial difficulty) when at that time, he had not even had a letter of the solicitor requesting a stay? I am really confused now.

Hi Val, Im going to ring the court as still not heard about my stay appeal, so will ask about the POC/SOC as well - Slick has been reallly helpful over on my own thread..... I do hope Mummybird gets this sorted with court when she goes there but its like our court has joined forces with barclays - have you appealed against the refusal to stay yet - sorry to hijack MB thread here... will copy and and post on Cardiff thread

 

quote from Lacey...Why would the judge refuse my request (on the grounds of financial difficulty) when at that time, he had not even had a letter of the solicitor requesting a stay? I am really confused now.

Did your order/judgement say that you could appeal against it (again) ?
