    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • 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 then 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. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  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.

I know what you mean about CAG. Unless you're on here though, you can't even begin to explain to people just how helpful it is. They just seem to glaze over and drift to a place far, far away....

I wish I could do more to help this site. Bankfodder and Dave should get a big fat reward for their idea to start it in the first place. I agree too that there should be funding from somewhere, esp to be used towards advertising the site and in so, helping thousands more to register and 'Reclaim the Right' as they say.

Hi Laiste.

I just want to firstly say thanks for helping, as I know from some other threads you're posting on, that you're in extremely high demand.

 

I will find out for definite when the defence must be filed by tomorrow when I ring the court, but as of now I'd guess around the 2nd July.(Issued 30/05/07, deemed served 04/06/07 so +28 days = 02/07/07)

 

So there's no rush just yet. I'm sure there's plenty of others in more urgent need of your help :eek: .

 

Thanks again

Hi calm and Laiste.

I found out today that the defence must be filed by the 29th June.

 

The letter I sent yesterday to Next and the copy to their solicitors, both arrived this morning. I think it's 12 working days they have to respond by isn't it? Which would give them until the 28th!?!

I really hope not because that is cutting it extremely fine.

 

I did say I wanted it by the 21st June, but whether they comply is a different matter....

No they have to respond by 21st June because you've made this particular request under CPR rules. The CCA request which gives them 12 working days is the earlier request you made to them (so check those dates too).

You may receive different advice to your query as people have different experiences and opinions. Please use your own judgement in deciding whose advice to take.

 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified insured professional. Any advice I have offered you is done so on an informal basis, without prejudice or liability.

Hi! Monopoly

 

I hope everything goes well for you!

 

The same thing has happened to me regarding Recorded Delivery of my CCA Request also sent 30th May.

RM say I have to wait until Monday to see if it turns up! but if they are not bothering to get signatures it could literaly be anywhere!!

 

If they cannot come back with a suitable answer then I will pursue this matter as I think it is disgusting as we are paying to get a sig at the other end otherwise we would send 1st or 2nd class.

 

I will let you know how I get on.

 

I do hope you are feeling better in yourself and not worrying too much.

 

 

kind regards

Thanks minky. I cant believe how much attention this thread's getting really...

 

I was told in the PO to wait 15 days then claim for compensation. Which I will do.

Maybe if RM get enough claims and complaints re Recorded Signed For, they might just make their staff do their jobs properly.

 

Then again, probably not :rolleyes:

To be quite honest, I really don't think I'm gonna have much to fight with Next. They've sent no LBA or default notice so I don't think they can actually sue me.

I think when their solicitors realise this, they'll drop the case and refer it back to Next. Here's hoping anyway....;)

If they don't and try to bully me, I just hope I can get a good defence together. Their POC doesn't give me much to go on though...

 

Then, depending on Next sending us a valid agreement, I can see what I can do next

Well I would have thought I'd have heard something from Next's solicitors by now, but I've not even received an acknowledgement for the letter I sent.

I know they've only had it since the 12th but time just seems to be dragging with all this looming over me, and with nothing to fight the case with.

Does anyone recommend that I ring them on Monday? :confused:

I see no reason to phone them monopoly. While I can appreciate you are anxious to receive the info, the ball is firmly in their court with regards to supplying it.

I don't think they'll win really because they still didn't give me a default notice and their claim says I defaulted. I don't know if what they send will be any good either, if they have anything at all...

Hi Monopoly,

 

It is a very bad idea to telephone the solicitors and/or the Customer Service dept of Next. It smacks of desperation to get hold of the info and will certainly convince the sols that you are panicking! That is more likely to result in them withholding it for longer! Games and psyching the other party out are as much a part of the legal process, as knowing the actual law! Cases take time and you have to be patient and even if something they are doing or not doing as the case may be, is annoying the hell out of you, you must not under any circumstances show it or do something that you may later regret!

 

The more unphased you appear to be by their actions, the more they will worry. Whether they supply the info before you have to file a defence is immaterial. You will be able to submit a perfectly legitimate defence, in the absence of it. The Judge will be decidedly unimpressed (if it gets that far, not likely in my view) if having asked them for info, they failed to supply it before you had to submit your defence and they produced it susequently! So it works very much to your advantage if they don't supply it, as they will be viewed as obstructing justice. It's important to look at the case from every angle, not just from the narrow perspective that info has not been supplied! The more they do wrong, the more opportunities there are for using it against them!;)

 

Regards,

 

Laiste.:)

Hi everyone. Sorry Im sooo stressed out... Its just I have a LOT on my plate at the minute - tring to claim against Lloyds, 6 CCA requests to deal with, I have to return to work after maternity in 2 weeks=stress about who's gonna look after my daughter (arghh they'll want to do things their way not mine!) and so I won't have much time to deal with all this! :mad:

 

I know I have to be patient but it's so hard when you just want things to get a move on.

Thanks Laiste-I won't be ringing anyone. The solicitors have had my request since the 8th now it's their problem now. I just hope a letter comes through saying the claim has been dropped!

 

Hi Minky thanks for the well wishes-hopefully you wont have to wait too long for your next 'fix' of the story ;)

 

Alp- do you have a link to the report about next you mentioned so I could have a look? I think it would calm my nerves a bit....:rolleyes:
