    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

Thanks for the tip, but I wonder why we can't post it in this thread?

As I'm new here, not sure how to post new thread. I've tried the way you advised, couldn't find it there.

 

Thanks again.

Badnews again,

 

I would never advise people to "just pay them" The baillifs think they are above the Law ..... they are not.

 

I am fighting them as far as the Law allows.

 

They are the **** of the earth and play on the most vulnerable people in society.

 

I have paid them so far £1500 for the first and only visit they have ever made... and still the fees increase.... no more. I refuse to pay them another penney.

 

I WILL FIGHT THEM.... IF ITS THE LAST THING I DO

 

Madmax, All credit to you for fighting them and I genuinely wish you luck. These people however are used to people taking them on. They didnt bat an eyelid when I said that I was going to take them to court and that I had been to see a solicitor that I had appointed. They do not care and just keep piling on the fees. It will take months to even get your case heard by someone at which point your bill will have doubled and in the meantime you will get them banging on your door at all times of day (dont know if you have wife / kids etc). How many people do you think actually get the conclusion that they want?? and even then do you think that Equita give a damn if one person has a win when they have multiplied thousands of tickets by 500% for the own back pocket? Perhaps my advice was slightly weak but I still say cut your losses, get on with your life and just make sure in the future that you pay the tickets when they are £30!!!

Well I've just read your thread - hey that rhymes!:)

 

 

And if I understand this correctly the pcn's were non-compliant and therefore unenforceable in the first place.

 

 

So maybe they are just trying it on, lets face it they have nothing to lose.

 

 

I would write back to them (recorded dely) saying just that, and asking them to please stop harassing you.

UPDATE

 

Letter from Bournemouth Borough Council:

 

Dear BerryN

 

Road Traffic Act 1991

 

PCN No: ....... & .........

 

Bournemouth Council can confirm that both cases are closed.

 

Yours sincerely

 

(Sorry to jump in Chris, I'm not stalking you, honest!)

 

I read this thread as the OP having 'about 19' tickets that the bailiffs were originally chasing. It turned out that the warrants were unenforceable due to being out of time. At the end of the earlier posts, the council sent the above letter, for two of the tickets. The bailiffs returned all the orders back to the council.

 

And in the new letter, they are referring to fifteen outstanding fines.

 

And they talk just about County Court...

 

so could it be case of they've knocked off the two they agreed to write off, lost a couple, but still want the remaining 15? And as they can't go down the usual route of issuing a warrant because it's too late, they're going to small claims court for these?

 

If so, I've got 2 thoughts...

 

if they can write off two, could they be 'persuaded' to write off these ones? Precedent and all that.

 

but if they take it to small claims, surely they will win because the judge would say the original tickets were in fact issued and should therefore be paid. Can't think of a defence.

 

During the previous posts, the OP sent a letter asking for copies of the tickets - did she ever get them? They might be unlawful and can be fought on that basis.

 

Also, there was mention of the out of time declarations being filed. Was / were these ever done?

 

It appears TomTubby was involved in this one - perhaps she can throw some more light on the finer details.

Thank you - coming from you, I will take that as a compliment ;)

 

I think you might have hit the nail on the head in your post about them trying it on. It's about that time of the year when the auditors come in (have dealings with local council at work and have just had a letter from them asking for lists of outstanding invoices etc) so maybe someone thinks they can score some brownie points by getting these paid / tidied up.

 

I think I would be trying the 'you've cancelled two, so cancel the rest' route.

Bournemouth agreed that the 2 were out of date so cancelled them southampton just ignored me completely! never replied to anything i sent them including when i asked for the tickets but were always happy enough to chase me...

I have just read your thread in its entirety and it appears to be multiple parking tickets resulting in a steady stream of bailiff attending. Your thread indicates tomtubby is already handling your case, has this come to any fruition? Your frustration suggest it hasn't. If you need to knock this on the head then give me a very brief gist of the current position.

Basically, I sorted them all out with TomTubby a while back and they went away. Now I am getting letters from Southampton City Council saying that I owe them money for the tickets and they will issue warrants etc. Strange as they have already had warrants for them and they expired last year.

 

I wrote to Southampton City Council at the time like I was told explaining that the warrants had expired and Equita were no longer dealing with me etc etc. I also wrote to Bournemouth Council at the same time. I had a reply from Bournemouth but never anything from Southampton.

 

This seems to be their reply.

 

What do I do now??
