    • Yep, I agree with what you are saying, I only mentioned the governing body code of practice as a nod to the fact that I wasn't dismissing the BPA or whoever out of hand, thought that would go in my favour before a judge. I wrote a long post about the BPA CoP earlier but then deleted it because I realised I wasn't talking about points of law but a set of guidelines drawn up by one bunch of charlatans for another bunch of charlatans. It is ludicrous that the 5 minute consideration period doesn't apply if the motorist parks, such nonsense. As for legislation, I was referring to the government legislation (if it is legislation?) document which has been withdrawn. Does that stand until it has been reintroduced? In the explanatory document it is quite clear. Otherwise, how does one hold them to the consideration and grace periods? Or is that at the discretion of the judge?
    • Thank you all   JK, I agree; if they were to accept my full claim today, then the interest would be around 8-9 pounds. If I were them, I would have offered to pay the interest and said no to the 12 pounds for the letters. These have not been mentioned, which is my mistake.   As you pointed out, if the judge were to award at 4% and I did not get the letters, I would get less.   Bank, thank you. I do hear what you are saying. If I am to continue with this, then I will need to pay an additional trial fee of £59. If I win everything, then great, but if I win less the claim and court fee, then I lose out. I am not sure what the judge will think about the interest. I think we have to remember that I won the item and, therefore, did not pay a penny for it. Yes, I have had to purchase an additional one, but maybe the judge will hold this against me. I am content that this is a win. I have not signed any non-disclosure clauses, and they do not ask for this either in their offer. 
    • Are you saying that both businesses were closed? Yet you stayed there for over two hours. . If both were closed than to charge £100 is a penalty since Horizon had no legitimate interest in keeping spaces clear for the company. sake as there were no customers..
    • Well you would think that would be the case. Sadly i doubt there is one honest broker within the BPA or IPC and most of their members. they are there to take as much money as they can from motorists regardless of PoFA.   Take the Consideration  period for example. This is a minimum of 5 minutes to allow motorists to find a parking space, read the T&Cs giving them enough time to leave the car park without having to pay if they decide not stay. Simple. Well it would be simple if it were any other company than BPA [or IPC who have now fallen into line with BPA's "reasoning"].  You see if you decide to stay then despite the fact that during the Consideration period when you still weren't classed as parking , once you accept the terms [with all the underhand little tricks designed to trip you up] that five minutes is now included in your parking time. [No not the parking period because the poor dears who ANPR cameras are apparently unable to work out what the exact parking period is since their ever so infallible cameras [yeah right] are incapable of tracking cars once they are in a car park]. After 12 years they still haven't worked out a way of doing it. Some of them fudge and the majority [with a wink fro their ATA [Accredited Trade Association though it should be Discredited Trade Association] just ignore the parking period all together. This is what BPA claim is the Consideration period Entrance grace period: This is for when motorists enter a car park, read the signs and/or attempt to make payment then leave. In these instances, motorists must be offered a reasonable amount of time before an operator takes enforcement action, but we do not define this time, due to the variance in size and layout of car parks. An entrance grace period for a small, permit-only car park could be below 5 minutes, whereas for a large multi-story this could be 15. But  heaven forbid that anyone should leave 6 or 7 minutes after entering  their member's car parks. . They are dutybound to receive a PCN. This is regardless of how busy the car park would be [Christmas eve for example ] .Our minimum is their maximum. Moving on to Grace periods. Again BPA gobble degook. Exit grace period: This must be a minimum of 10 minutes and this is when a motorist intends to stay – for example, if you paid for an hour but spent a total of 1 hour 10 minutes on-site, you will not receive a PCN. It is important to note that the grace period is not a free period of parking however and should not be advertised as such. If that ten minutes in not free parking what is it. their members all think they can send out PCNs for anything after 1 minute after the exact time never mind ten minutes. Our snotty letters have stood the test of time. Do not try to reinvent the wheel -especially with DCBL . They don't even know what a non compliant PCN is for goodness sake! You already know more about PoFA then they do. However if you include that they will find a way to disabuse the Judge of your logic and the law. So don't give them the chance.  I am sure you have the Parking Prankster going on about the rogues misusing the rules on planning permission by lying and stating that they had "retrospective permission". There is no such thing in English law yet Judges were swallowing it until one Judge pulled up Parking Eye about one of their Witness Statements alluding to "rp" by claiming it was "tantamount to perjury".  It wasn't tantamount,it was plain and simple perjury.

    • 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.

Thank you hellhasnofury. Have checked but cant find any other company with the same name as CCS RB collections I don't have any other information other then that. Trying to trace a payment taken from my account via this company thats the only information that is on my statment. I have made a dispute with my bank but even they are having trouble getting this information. Thought maybe someone would know who they are or perhaps they may use another name. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

It was done by a card payment so I obviously spoke with someone on the phone at the time but was having lots of phone calls from different creditors so probably wasn't aware of whom I was paying what. My bank has tried to get details from this company via the transaction but they haven't responed and because the payment was made in Dec 2006 its out of the visa regulations time. So my bank is trying to get more information on this merchant as I don't know what this money was taken for or who they where working on behalf of. I think maybe there may have been two dca's collecting on the same debt.

 

Midge61 Rang CCS collection but they have no record of me.

 

On my statement the name says CCS RB Collections Westcliff On, GB.

I think westcliff On - must be southend Essex area...

 

I have also checked companies house no joy...

 

Not sure what else I can do?

HI

Ive had another look but can't seem to come up with anything. Seems very strange but can only think that they are no longer trading.

So if no more payments have been taken and no contact from them then hopefully it is finished with.

I have emailed the OFT to see if they have any record of them as they should hold a credit licence. Don't hold much hope. Other then that hope my bank comes up with some sold information.

 

I know it was only a one off payment but I would like to know where it went. The only thing I can think of is I must have had two collection agencies working for the same debt.

 

Will let you know if I get any good news.

 

Thanks for your help...

Thank you Sid07 sorry its taken so long to get back to you.

 

So did your bank confirm that ccs rb collection took the money but it was a payment for your bank on scotland credit card. If the money was debited by ccs rb collection how does your bank know who the payment was for?

 

Are CCS RB Collection an collection agency or are they part of the Bank of Scotland?

 

I'm still waiting for my bank to get back to me and provide this information.

 

Thanks again.

Hi

 

I found this thread while searching for CCS RB Collections, which has just appeared on my bank statement.

 

I've now been on to my bank and they confirmed it's a payment I made to my Royal Bank of Scotland Credit Card.

 

Hope this helps.

To clarify Bank of Scotland & Royal Bank of Scotland are 2 different companies.

HBOS - Halifax / Bank of Scotland

RBoS - Royal Bank of Scotland / NatWest

 

Dont want you chasing the wrong company

Hi Lizzy40, Gillie35 and all CCS searchers

While checking my Barclaycard statement on line today I found a debit of over £2000 to this mystery company. It appeared as CCS RB collections Westcliff On. I rang Barclaycard immediately as I have certainly not authorised this payment and it has been suspended. I checked on Google and found this thread - all very mysterious and worrying. My husband and I only have one joint credit card and have no connection with any other banks or credit cards.

Barclaycard have stopped our card and are issueing new ones and new pin numbers but I would like to get to the bottom of it if possible.

That does sound a bit worrying.

 

CCS RB collection are a collection company for the Royal Bank of Scotland, very strange that they would have collected a payment from your Barclaycard. For a debit to be on your Barclaycard statement your card must have been used in some way. Its lucky you noticed it and got it stoped but I would still look into it. If you have a reference number on your statment perhaps ring the Royal Bank of Scotland and ask for their collections department and ask them why they have taken this payment and what it is for? However Barclaycard should be investing - let us know if you get any more information.

 

Lizzy
