    • it is NOT A FINE.....this is an extremely important point to understand no-one bar a magistrate in a magistrates criminal court can ever fine anyone for anything. Private Parking Tickets (speculative invoices) are NOT a criminal matter, merely a speculative contractual Civil matter hence they can only try a speculative monetary claim via the civil county court system (which is no more a legal powers matter than what any member of Joe Public can do). Until/unless they do raise a county court claim a CCJ and win, there are not ANY enforcement powers they can undertake other than using a DCA, whom are legally powerless and are not BAILIFFS. Penalty Charge Notices issued by local authorities etc were decriminalised years ago - meaning they no longer can progress a claim to the magistrates court to enforce, but go directly to legal enforcement via a real BAILIFF themselves. 10'000 of people waste £m's paying private parking companies because they think they are FINES...and the media do not help either. the more people read the above the less income this shark industry get. where your post said fine it now says charge .............. please fill out the Q&A ASAP. dx  
    • Well done on reading the other threads. If ECP haven't got the guts to do court then there is no reason to pay them. From other threads there is a 35-minute free stay after which you need to pay, with the signs hidden where no-one will read them.  Which probably explains why ECP threaten this & threaten that, but in the end daren't do court. As for your employer - well you can out yourself as the driver to ECP so the hamster bedding will arrive at yours.  Get your employer to do that using the e-mail address under Appeals and Transfer Of Liability.  
    • good you are getting there. Lloyds/TSb...i certainly would not be risking possible off-setting going on if a choice were there, but in all honestly thats obv too late now..., however..you might not never be in that situation so dont worry too much. regardless to being defaulted or not, if any debt that is not paid/used in 6yrs it becomes statute barred. you need to understand a couple of things like 'default' and 'default notice' a default is simply a recorded D in the calendar section/history of a debt, it does not really mean anything. might slightly hit your rating. the important thing here is a default notice , these are issued by the original creditor (OC) under the consumer credit act, it gives you 14 days to settle whatever they are asking, if you don't then they have the option to register a defaulted date on your credit file. that can make getting other credit more difficult. and hits your rating. once that happens, not matter what you do after that, paying it or not or not paid off or not, the whole account vanishes from your credit file on the DN's 6th b'day. though that might not necessarily mean the debt is not still owed - thats down to the SB date above. an OC very rarely does court and only the OWNER of a debt can instigate any court action (Attempted a CCJ) DCA's debt collection agencies - DCA's are NOT BAILIFFS they have ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's TYPE. an OC make pass a debt to a dca as their client to try and spoof people into paying through legal ignorance of the above statement. an OC may SELL on an old debt to a DCA/debt buyer (approx 10p=£1) and then claim their losses through tax write off and their business insurance, wiping their hands of the debt. the DCA then becomes the debt OWNER. since the late 70's dca's pull all kinds of 'stunts' through threat-o-grams to spoof a debtor into paying them the full value of the debt, when they bought if for a discounted sum (typically 10p=£1). you never pay a dca a penny! if read carefully, NONE of their letters nor those of any other 'trading names' they spoof themselves under making it seem it's going up some kind of legitimate legal 'chain' say WILL anything....just carefully worded letters with all kinds of threats of what could/might/poss happen with other such words as instruct forward pass... well my dog does not sit when instructed too...so... DCA's SOMETIMES will issue a court claim, but in all honesty its simply a speculative claim hoping mugs wet themselves and cough up...oh im going to court... BIG DEAL DCA - show me the enforceable paperwork signed by me...9/10 they dont have it and if your defence is conducted properly, most run away from you . however before they do all that they now have to send a letter of claim, cause the courts got fed up with them issuing +750'000PA speculative claims and jamming up the legal system. so bottom line is two conclusions.... if you cant pay a debt, get a DN issued ASAP (stop paying it!) make sure it gets registered on your file then it stops hurting your file/future credit in 6yrs regardless to what happens (bar of course a later DCA CCJ - fat chance mind!)  once you've a registered DN , then look into restarting payments if the debt is still owed by the OC, if SOLD to a DCA, don't pay - see if they issue a letter of claim (then comeback here!).

    • 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.

Royal mail is currently having issues with its tracking system. I have complained and here is there response.

 

Dear The GodMother

 

Thank you for your email regarding the Signed For items you recently

posted.

 

Unfortunately we currently have a major IT issue with Royal Mail Tracked

scanned items being recorded on Scanners, but NOT flowing through to the

Tracking Web site and Tracking Enquiry Intranet site. This situation has

been occurring intermittently and our IT supplier, CSC, is investigating

the issue urgently.

 

This means that the tracking of your despatches though our network may not

be showing, even when delivery has taken place.

 

We understand the full importance of this issue to you and we are treating

it as a top priority. Please accept our apologies.

 

With regards

 

Carol Wilson

Receipt said it would be there for 1.00.pm, so went online to check at 1.05pm. To my surprise it said it was delivered. After speaking to my dad, he said it was there about 9.00am.

 

Thumbs up to RM from me I'm afraid.

 

p.s. It also says on the web that the minimum charge for next day special delivery is £10.30, that is for items up to 100g. My parcel was 360g and they only charged me £5.05. :-D

there is no problem with them finding out if the item has been delivered what the problem is is gaining the signature as that is a issue for the comps. All my packages have been saying they are delivered but non have a signature.

 

Yes u can get a refund but you need to wait 15 days after delivery for Recorded delivery and depending on the service u chose and what your guarenteed delivery date is with special but u can get a refund with this service.

 

I have been told if any dobt please contact the RM customer services line as they will be able to personally advise you more.

You will find that if you put any of these numbers into the link below, you will be given alternative numbers. For instance:- 0906 302 222. You can actually dial 08457 111222. It gets you through to the same place for 10p per min instead of 50p. Also, Most 0845 numbers you put in will be replaced with an 01 or 02 landline number. Give it a try. It works when you are trying to contact your Bank, Gas/Electricity company. In fact it will nearly always give you a landline number instead of having to pay top prices to be stuck on the phone for hours.;)

sometimes you even get 0800 numbers. The companies hate this site. We love it.

We checked out items sent by recorded delivery, one was to Kilmarnock in Scotland and the other was to the Town next door to us. The Kilmarnock one was delivered the next day as, paid for, however, the one to the town next door has go walkies.

 

So we called royal mail up, now I am sure she was trying to get as many gags in as possible or trying to get fired.

 

Royal Mail can't keep track of its Postmen never mind the post.

 

Royal mail tries to Deliver first class post the next day, however the next day to what no one knows.

 

Royal Mail handle 50 Million items a day however how many millions are lost and broken, I wouldn't like to guess.

 

So when will my next day delivery be delivered? You can't tell, you can't mess around with the forces of Delivery.

 

At this stage I gave up.

 

So if you posted something to Scotland or other side of the UK great it will be there tomoz, if its the next town, you better take it yourself. My claim for lost items will be going in as my gf DOB Certificate was in it and details about me.

I posted a parcel on 09/01/09 at 9-25am it is now 20/01/09 the tracking system tells me it is out for delivery today,but it told me that yesterday, I have e-mailed twice without a response and phoned the 0845 number from the website, this is an automated message system that also told me parcel out for delivery today.

I need to talk to a person and find out where my important parcel is, can anyone supply with a phone number that gets me through to a real person. This experience with royal mail has left me with no confidence whatsoever. This is now 11 days and the parcel not arrived

Any help I can get guys for my issue would be great, I posted a 240 x 180 jiffy last tuesday 31/06/11 with a single stick of faulty ram inside and its still apparently not arrived at its destination by today 07/06/11 . I'm fed up with being given the runaround by the computer system and the automated service through their phones so I'm just wondering if I can get a human anywhere to help because it seems impossible to me that this company should be allowed to say sorry we can't track post even tho we provide tracking numbers or that our system can't track the mail even though its being checked through the system at a myriad of different points even more so when you consider my parcel would have to have been handled by humans as it was too big to be handled mechanically :( I am one not impressed user of royal mails services I have lost countless items over the years through these people but this year is taking the biscuit 4 items already whether recorded or first class have been lost by them with no real response on their part. pls any advice would be welcome
