    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank 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.

I'm due in court on Friday 3rd August. I need help, I thought they'd settle at the last minute - i claimed charges back from another account earlier this yr & they settled a wk before we where due in court. I am very worried now, i've been hoping something would come in the post. It looks like i'll have to go. I'm not sure if i posted my litigation details - can someone check. I need help with posting threads etc., i'm rubbish at it. I've sent off bundles ages ago. I delt with Dino last time he was really great. Please help me if you can.

Look above where it says Barcalys Bank and there is a blue bar with User CP in it, click this, then there is a side bar with Thread names, click View all threads, and any threads you have written in will appear, your thread you started is probably there somewhere.

 

In short, though, you will find you will need to go to court, and so best to start preparing now, sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

 

Anyway, bring your thread back to life, and we can all see who you are, and where you are up to#!

If youre not a regular visitor to the courts then you are bound to feel uneasy.

but remember it is YOU taking THEM to court....

The small Claims courts are very informal

you will go into a small room with the judge and maybe [if they turn up] a representative from Barclays.

By now you should have grasped the concept of why we are fighting the banks, so be confident you are well within your rights to do what you are doing.

The judge will prob ask if you have been in contact with the defendant, this is where you tell the judge of any efforts you have made to settle out of court.

the hearing will more than likely be delayed due to recent events so take this as an opportunity to gain experience.

you will walk away feeling stronger and ready for the next time.

 

try to read up on some posts where people, in the same position as you have gone into court looking for the toilet but coming out ready to take them on...

Yes remember you are in control. Barclays will try for a stay, you try and argue against this using the template you have printed off. Of course you will be nervous, but dont worry too much. Just be polite and answer the questions asked from you and you will get through it fine.

Good luck!

 

If a stay is given and the judge doesn't take the removal of stay, make sure you try and get a definate date secured for a return to the court. Say that the OFT case has an unknown timescale, and that this, if nothing else, given the length of the action to date, is an infringement of the Human Rights Act, and that a priviso of a date to reconvene would be welcomed by the claimant.

phew! Hi, the judge was GREAT (a woman, girl power!:)) I was VERY NERVOUS, I asked the usher how i should address the judge, Marm or Judge, she prefers Judge she told me. Chris Lowe was the barrister from Nottingham representing Barclays, he was an alright chap, he addressed the Judge as marm even tho he'd heard me speaking to the usher. He was looking for me as soon as i arrived and wanted to speak to me before we went in. Basically he was saying he would be asking for a stay and to which i replied i was not happy with, and as he gave me some notes to read i gave him the stay letter that saintly 1 had kindly passed on to me. We agreed the judge would decide what the best course of action would be! He said he'd been in a rush and had just got out of court & his head itched from having his wig on, bless, was this to intimidate me or friendly chit chat????

So, Barclays rep said he wanted to wait 21 days ish until Barclays had guidence from the High Court refering to a test case pending. The judge refered to the stay letter the whole time, and said she didn't understand the 21 day time limit, surely it would be longer - Barclays rep had to make a phone call. We went out and went back in again................... the order was that the case was adjourned for 21 days and would then be back on on the first available date for a stay to be granted after that. She was VERY sympathetic towards me, asked me what costs i'd incurred and for them to be paid, Barclays agreeded without any hesitation. We decided (me and the Judge) to cross out the clause in the stay letter that said that any charges incurred now would not be charged because if this case in the high court wins i could end up paying a lump sum if charges had built up - everything else Barclays agreed to. Chris Lowe said on leaving that we could meet again - Gosh, i hope not!!!!!! Do you think i did ok then???????????????? :(

Well done Rlips!

 

Sounds like you had a grand ol' time!

 

So you got your costs back - I assume these were the court fees etc?

 

And what is the adjurnment for exactly - was it specified, because you then mention you would go back to have the Stay granted...seems a little strange?

 

Well at least you have left no worse off than when you started the case, and anything now is a bonus (in terms of not having it anyway, except that they are obviously unlawfully looking after your money!)

 

It looks like you have a chance to build u some knowledge on stay removals etc for the next month at least!

if the 14 days or whatever was directed are up, and you or the court haven't been sent the directed papers from Barclays, then hot foot it down to the court and request the judge submit a default judgement in your favour for non-compliance. It may or may not work, but it's worth a try - come Monday they will apply and probably get a stay.

 

erm - RUN!
