    • 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. Signed I am the Defendant - I believe that the facts stated in this form are true XXXXXXXXXXX 01/05/2024   Defendant's date of birth XXXXXXXXXX   Address to which notices about this claim can be sent to you

    • 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.

You could try calling; sometimes thet are helpful - but more often than not they are rude. A letter or fax is sometimes a better tactic as they have to log it on to your file. This has the advantage of bringing your file to the top.

Good luck.

Did u send the letter by recorded delivery. Because if you didn't I don't think SC&M even open those. If you did then what I would do is send another letter as Broke dave suggested. I would explain the fact that you haven't had a reply from them and attach a further shedule of charges.

 

Just a quick question, did you also add the interest this time. Its quite obvious that the letter they sent you was a template letter and that they are most likely to settle. I may even be a bit cheeky and send back a shedule with the interest also calculated and put on your letter something like this-

 

"Further to your response where you have asked for a shedule of charges in relation to the bank charges that I am in the process of reclaiming. You have asked for a)each and every individual amount of the carge that was deducted b)date of every charge c)how i calculated the interest. I have therefore included the statutory interest of 8%, which relates to 8% per annum since the charge was firts applied to my account.

Hope everything is as you require."

 

SO what do you think?

Hi Jeffrey...

 

Yes write another letter and include EVERYTHING!!

ie: charges, interest (to today's calculations), court costs, etc.

 

If you're feeling cheeky... maybe an extra allowance for stamps, photocopying, etc!!!! :D

I also received the same day a letter from Sechiari, Clark & Mitchell that Lloyds (of course without prejucide), are minded to enter into settlement negotiations (wohoy), but there is a discrepancy in what I am seeking by way of refund of bank charges. I am confused over the interest element as of course, claim was issued on the 4 June, which means between then and now, i should of accrued more interest and the sum would be different.

 

 

 

Should I again use Martin's template (Money Saving Expert) to recalculate my interest? I don't think it saved, and I didn't use the CAG website one.. Help!

Could somebody point me to the link for the spreadsheet?

Jeffrey...

 

I would guess that the same principles that apply to bank account charges would apply for credit cards... ie. any charge which has been applied to your account as a penalty (going over limit/late payment).

 

I stand to be corrected on this one!!! :)

think i pay it on time didnt really look at charges,can you go back 6 yrs aswell.....

 

 

I would guess that the arguments againdt the Limitations Act that have seen people claim over six years, would apply to credit cards/store cards also. If you go down the SAR route, then the card company will have to give you all your statements that they have on record, regardless of time limits. It may take time and may involve "non complience of SAR" to get all the information though!!

 

Again, I stand to be corrected!!!!

As with the guys on this thread, we had this letter. Keep hoping the money will turn up in the account but hasn't happened yet. Sent the reply recorded delivery and it was received by them on 5th July, so 10 days ago [7 working days]. Will let you know if they do settle soon, may be you'd be on the same sort of timescale ... we have three weeks to court date.
