    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Clownells bought a load of Statute Barred debts off Crap One. They tried it on with me and were only able to produce a badly photcopied application form which wasnt sufficient to even bother responding to. As previous posters have said Clownells are probably on a fishing trip. Im with DMD on this one. Sit tight till Clownells get in touch with you. Its up to them to prove the debt exists and is not Statute Barred. (I would bet it is) Dont worry if you receive letters from a shower calling themselves Hampton Legal. They are the paramilitary wing of Clownells and equally useless

Thanks for the advice, its become a matter of principle now for me regarding this shower of botom feeders, The major issue being i never had a capital one card to my knowledge?. But i wonder how many people just pay up due to the nature of the requests from lowells, they will find in this instance this will not be the case! I will keep you all posted as to any developments.

 

Regards

Have some fun with Clownells. You will soon receive one of their silly yellow postcards claiming they called at your house when in fact it will be delivered by your postie. They are one of the easiest DCAs to bait and to beat:D

Yep. Send them the CCA letter now by recorded delivery. You should also inform them that you do NOT give permission for any personal callers to call at your premises and any that do will be trated as trespassers and they as a company also sued for instructing them.

 

This is a standard empty threat of Clownells. They have no intetion of sending anyone round. They operate on the scary letter principle follwed up with threatening calls and not forgetting the silly yellow postcards

Hi people, im back again with an update finally!

I have today recieved a reply from lowells, unfortunatlely it is the credit agreement between me and capital one, to be honest not a bad copy?

I did not recieve a copy of the deed of assignment as requested . i requested a statement of account, all they have wrote back is the amount owed and state the state the account is in default?

 

They have given me 7 days to come up with a re-payment proposal?

 

Has any one got any further advice??

 

Regards

Lightboy.

 

Are you sure that it is an actual agreement as most of the stuff Clownells bought from Crap One was only Application Forms and did not contain all the prescribed requirements. Scan what you have and post it on her (minus any personal information). They should have sent you a statement of the account as you requested. As it stands you only have their word of the outstanding balance. Do you know how old this debt actually is

Yes if the last payment was 18th April 2001 and no payment or written acknowledgement made before 18th April 2007 then it became statute barred on that date and no amount of huffing or puffing by Clownells can alter that fact. The debt still exist but unless you want to pay it then their is nothing Clownells can do do make you pay. I wouldnt worry about the deed of assignbment now. This is one of a bundle of Statute Barred debts that the Leeds losers bought from CRAP One

Its after you last payment or written acknowledgement of the debt. Some DCAs **cough** THAMES**cough** tried it on with the default ploy. Shot down in flames. If that were the case there would be nothing to stop a DCA putting a default on after 5 yrs 11 months 3 weeks and 6 days.

Thats my understanding of the situation, you can tell lowells know it too by the politeness of there letter!

 

At the bottom they write' We trust this clarified the situation'

 

It most certainly does!!

 

Should i respond to there letter or do nothing, i read somewhere on here its up to me to point out to them that the debt is barred and not to contact me anymore?

 

Regards

Send them the Statute Barred letter next time they demand money from you.
