    • I understand that you are intend to go to university in September. What are you proposing to study?
    • Okay, I'm simply trying to piece things together so that we have the story in one place. 18th of April you purchased the vehicle 31st of May it broke down. – Although this is beyond 30 days, it is still within six months but I haven’t seen that you have sent any kind of letter of rejection yet. Is this correct? You approach the dealer about the breakdown but rather than stepping up to their statutory obligations under the consumer rights act, they said you should go through the warranty. Have you purchased a warranty? How much did it cost? Who sold it to you? You paid money for a diagnostic which identified the timing belt as the problem. Warranty company declined. Why is this? What is the name of the warranty company? The dealer has now offered you a replacement vehicle which she has advertised for £1295 – about £500 less than you paid for the original car, but the dealer had said that if you take advantage of this, he will want an extra £500 – which would mean that in total you would have paid about £2300 for your car. Is this correct?   On the basis of advice from us you have now recorded a call which confirms that they want you to go through the warranty company and also confirms that they will give you a replacement vehicle but only on an additional payment of £500. Is this all correct?   You have also incurred first expenses as well as being affected by stress also inconvenience and have had to cancel a holiday. He has now said that he will see if they can be a straight swap – your broken down vehicle for the £1295 vehicle without the £500 payment but only on condition that you use them to service it at a cost of £200 each time. You have evidence of this – is this correct?

    • Actually, you're right! Paras 5&7 in post 55 are talking about separate things, randomly raising the amount owed and then adding interest on that random amount! Thank you.     I think given the debate on s69 and the judge's option as to when to add the interest, I'm going to leave para 6 out.

    • 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.

UKPC issuing PCN's on OUR PRIVATE BUSINESS LAND without a contract - off to court - UKPC liable for trespass - **SUCCESS**


Recommended Posts

UKPC Ltd is another car parking enforcement company. They issue tickets on a private development in Winchester where we live demanding £100.00 for each alleged breach of parking regulations. Apart from that being an unlawful penalty and unenforceable, they have persisted on putting tickets on our cars on our own land ie not an allocated bay but registered to us at Land Registry. Like dealing with aliens. One ticket was at 4 am at night.

 

We objected and demanded undertakings not to trespass on our land and not to place tickets on our cars stating clealry it was our land with registered title They persist and have refused to give undertakings and again on the 29th December entered our land and put a notice on our car demanding £100.00. They are very keen on throwing unlawful penalties around for alleged trespass and as it they who are trespassing on our land we have now issued county court proceedings against them claiming damages for trespass and an injunction to prevent further trespass, and costs. Hearing in January 2013. R.L.Davey.

This will be very good to hear, I hope the DJ looks favourably on your case and knocks them off their perch, PPC's are nothing more than fraudulent.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Update :

We pressed on with our County Court Claim against UK Parking control Limited

( UKPC ) in the Winchester County Court.

On 21.1.2013 UKPC in an Order by consent gave undertakings to the Court not to enter our land and not to place any Parking Charge Notices on our cars and the Court ordered:

1. Judgment for the Claimants ( ourselves )

2. Damages for trespass in a total of £150.00

3. UKPC to pay our costs in the sum of £ 1280.26 ( now paid )

Good result.

 

I can understand the costs, as that's a loss you suffered.

 

How do the £150 damages for trespass work?

 

Even though the boot's on the other foot here, isn't "damages for trespass" something the PPC usually tries to claim, and for a similar amount, and I though as they suffered no loss, it's usually said they wouldn't have a chance?

Damages for trespass do not require proof of loss. Trespass is about insult to your rights over land or goods - or to yourself.

Very well done.

 

Can I contact the media?

I also think that you should send a copy of the judgment to the DVLA and also as a complaint to the Information Commissioner. Obviously their illegal conduct meant that their access to the DVLA database was unlawful.

You should also complain to the BPA because by acting in this way they will have breached the BPA code of practice. Of course the BPA won't care and won't do anything - other than maybe give UKCPS a medal!! - but you may as well complain anyway sp that we have it down on the record.
