    • 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.

This is your claim and if you want to settle out of court you may, the courts are only too happy to see this happen as it saves them a lot of work.

you can contact the Lit team but you prob wont get the settlement until the final week before your hearing.

Not sure if I have the bottle to go now. Don't know what to do/say/take. I have read the threads and 'got a court date?' but still unsure

Evil with a huge E

 

Snap destiny - mine is on 31st July. This is odd tho, as they have settled the first claim I had even tho it was a directions hearing. Emma Thompson called me today to say that they will settle only when they have a final court date.

 

Should I have received anything from them regarding this hearing. I've sent a copy of my court pack to both the court and barclays, but haven't received anything back.

 

Should they have sent me

No idea destiny, although I have now called the Court and spoke to a very nice, helpful man there. His advice for a prelim hearing is as follows:-

 

It is basically a hearing for the judge to decide what way to deal with the case, ie if there is a case to hear, if it is fast track etc.

 

I have explained everything to him re Barclays and his advice was to voice my concerns to the judge as to the fact that they have settled one and not the other. Let him know that they have advised that they will be settling only when a full court hearing date has been decided and to voice concerns as to the fact that they haven't sent me any information on what they will be putting forward at that hearing.

This is what I don't understand. Surely the judge knows which track it is allocated to. And surely having read the POC & Defence knows where it is going?

 

What input can we put in that could help a judge??

Hi all,

 

Greg has faxed through a settlement agreement, which seems ok. he also said the funds will be in the account in 5 days. HOWEVER there is a stop on the account, which means when they pay it in, I can't get the money out:(

 

Also they say by signing the letter is confidential between us. Should I sign?

jbarton - the CMI sheet? I'm not going through a mercantile court (at least I'm not aware I am) and I've never seen nor heard of this, should I have? I have a directions hearing in Plymouth on 6th August.

 

Thanks,

 

KA.

I would say the team at Barclays have tottaly lost the plot.

 

My friend has a cout date today.

 

This was set months ago,

 

Apart from yesterday no word from Barclays even though they were phoned every day messages left etc.

 

Yesterday she got a phone call.

 

They would settle but they would only send the offer if she agreed to inform the court the case had been settled in full.

 

She told them she was willing to ask the court to adjurn the case to give them time to pay her.

They refused this and insisted that she either inform the court it had been settled or they would instruct council to attend.

 

She refused to cancel the court proceedings on these grounds.

It is in court today.

It was totally out of order and in my opinion a dirty tactic.

 

No she did not get the persons name unfortunately, she Said he was very arrogant .

 

But I think it is all part of the tactics you have been discussing on here coming to the fore latley.

Dino deserves lots of stars for being quick, efficient, and helpful. On the other hand Paul Quinn's star should be removed. Regarding out of court settlement he wrote me a letter asking me to email or phone him. The email address he sent me(and listed by this site) doesn't work. I've called at least 20 times and he has never returned my calls.

Gee
