      Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Recently discovered that I have a CCJ on my credit report for about a year ago which I had no idea existed. Did a bit of digging and it turns out the DVLA issued a £100 fine to the address they had on record for me because my road tax was out of date (at the time I went to the car pound, paid up and thought that was the end of it).

 

The problem was that I had not updated their records for my address so I didn't get the letters and had no idea they were trying to fine me.

 

I've now paid the fine (apparently an admission of guilt) but would like to have the judgement set aside - I understand why it has happened but it seems like a hefty penalty for not keeping my address records updated with the DVLA.

 

So finally - can anyone advise me what my chances are if I apply to the court for the CCJ to be set aside? My grounds would be that I did not recieve notice of the fine.

 

The impression I get from reading the threads here are that the court will say it was my responsibility to keep my car taxed, the DVLA records up to date etc. but I didn't see a case just like mine so thought it was worth asking.

 

Any help appreciated,

Thanks,

You might be better leaving well alone, the penalties for not keeping the DVLA up to date with your correct contact details are about the same - so any action against the DVLA could be stopped in its tracks due to the fine being correct but they got you on the wrong offence. There is also the possibility that they could subsequently pursue you for this too - you DID give them your new details, didn't you?

When I got in touch with them to enquire about this they took my current details, but they did that so the receipt of payment could be sent.

 

Whether they changed my record or not, no idea - sounds as if I should definitely chase that.

 

Not great news, but thanks anyway.

to add to that...

 

Have no problem with paying a fine for not keeping my car details up date, seems fair in a "dealing with the DVLA" sort of way.

 

The problem is the CCJ, I don't like the idea of having a 'criminal record', or having my credit rating affected.

 

Would it be possible to pay a fine for not updating my home address details, and have the CCJ set aside on the basis that it was for 'the wrong fine'?

 

(The impression I get is that from the DVLA and a legal perspective I was definitely in the wrong and they basically don't care whether a CCJ is a fair penalty or not, which doesn't seem very equitable)

The trouble is, once a CCJ is on your file, it is a court record (and NOT criminal). It may cost quite a bit to have the case recalled, then reheard, and there's no guarantee the result will be any different. The fact the CRAs record this information on your credit record is something they do, because they can - and strangely the only time I'm aware of them being able to put information on your file without your express consent.

 

However, a CCJ can only have two status flags, showing outstanding or settled. If you paid the fine, then the CCJ stays as a matter of record. The only way to avoid this is to pay it within 14 days of judgement.

 

Finally, set-aside means just that, the ruling is put into abeyance until it is re-heard, it doesn't simply cease to exist - and depending on when it was originally heard, you may also be time-barred.

If you pay the £100 to the DVLA now the CCJ will be marked satisfied.

 

or you can pay some money sorry can't remember how much for the case to be re-heard but if you lose in court again, you'll end up having to pay the £100 to get it marked satisfied anyway.

Have identical situation with the £100 CCJ. Thankfully after much letter writing I have just rceived in the post today confirmation from DVLA that they will consent to setting aside. Application going to the court today, so will keep you updated on their response.

 

In my case have not paid the £100.

 

What office were pusuing you? Was it the Poole office?
