    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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
