    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. 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 only contracted 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. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Hi Guys, Could really do with some help on this one -

 

 

My family decided to have a short break before my daughter started back at school at the end of August for 4 nights. We booked in with Park Resorts in Ty Mawr, North Wales. We only wanted somewhere basic, we just wanted somewhere clean and comfortable so rented a basic caravan/mobile home. The advertisements emphasised what a wonderful and comfortable caravan we would have for the price, we payed about 300 for 4 night.

 

Our 1st impression wasn't great, the caravan was old, the windows covered in bird poo - looked like they hadn't been clean for years, not weeks, and the outside was littered with cigarette butts. It was the smell that hit me when I first walked in. I felt sick, Stale old smelly and damp. We arrived after a long journey and the children were tired and starving so we dumped our stuff in the lounge area and headed out for something to eat. I didn't really have time to examine the place in full, but just thought to myself we could air it out when we got back.

 

It was early evening when we got back from having something to eat and shopping for the basics - but we started to unpack and tried to get comfortable. It was then we discovered what we had to stay in.The caravan was filthy - dusty, the path outside looked cleaner than the carpets. The double bed was the worst - it was old smelly and like sleeping on rocks - I went to bed fully dressed and had to sleep on top of the duvet and several blankets to stop the springs sticking in my body. My young girls hardly slept because they were that cold. The bedroom heater was broken. We woke up in the morning shattered and just desperate to go home. We were all devastated. I went to make my self a cup of coffee to find a pubic hair on my tea spoon!!!! I started to clean the place up but got fed up and thought this isn't a holiday!

 

My little girl asked if we could go home as she didn't like the smelly place. My other half and I discussed asking for another caravan but there were signs everywhere that said NO VACANCIES, so thought it was pointless We also thought that if they did have a vacant one they would just stick us in another caravan that was filthy. If they did try and clean this on e up it wold take more than a day. We were so tired and stressed as the kids were desperate to leave that my partner packed up whilst I took photographs of the parts I hadn't cleaned as evidence.

 

When I arrived at reception there was only one person available who was on the telephone. I really couldn't be bothered waiting, as my 2 years old was crying and carrying on in the car, and I myself was too angry and tired to get into an argument with anyone. I just left the keys in front of the lady at reception.

 

Within a few days, I wrote a long complaint letter including just some of the photographs asking for a full refund, petrol money and compensation. They wrote a very fluffy letter but refused to refund us. There argument was that we didn't follow there complaint procedure in the welcome pack, by reporting it to a member of staff before we left.

 

I am determined to get a refund, normally when you purchase something if you are not happy with your item, it is faulty or damaged then you are entitled to an exchange or a refund. Due to what we went through I didn't want an exchange, I wanted my money back.

 

I am not sure if this applies in this situation? Does anyone have any idea how I can respond to Park Resorts - if I need to I am happy to take them to the small claims court. Where do I stand legally? Any help or advice would really be appreciated.

This is a policy that is quite common with leisure facilities,I think Haven and others operate the same.

A Court would likely take into account your failure to report things at the time.

You would also be expected to show some proof of the experience you had which fell well short of what you thought would be on offer when you booked it.

Witnesses from your party,as well as photos will go some way there.

They may say that their terms and conditions demand that a complaint is raised BEFORE you leave the facility,but we know for a variety of reasons this does not always happen.

Writing the letter soon afterwards should count for something.

Irrespective of whether you made a complaint whilst you was there or not,does not automatically mean that you should not have rights to pursue some recompense following your bad experiences.

I would suggest that you respond to their letter advising that you believe that you have remit under consumer and contract law,and make it a letter before action giving them 14 days to respond positively.

You need to send it by recorded delivery.

Bullet point your targets for resolution and itemise the amounts you feel are due.

If you are prepared to file a summons in the small claims Court,then the burden of proof will be on you to show loss and breach of contract or any mis selling.

Immediately CPUT2008 seems one route,on the basis that you would not have made this booking if you had known beforehand that the conditions and facility you found yourself with were unacceptable.

Martin,

Justed wanted to update you and thank you for your input. I haven't been about much since you posted on the thread, weekend away (this time not in a smelly caravan) and had to go into hospital for an op. Didn't want you to think I did appreciate you :hug:

 

I am going to get on with the lba tomorrow and have been trying to swot up on CPUT2008. Little bit more advise if you have time for me? I was just wondering how I phrase the CPUT2008 bit and say they are in breach of what they sold me - I just want them to take me seriously when I send the lba and sound like I know what I am talking about.

 

Cheers Martin

John - the only way they could of resolved it was by giving us another caravan - which I have read another holiday er did on the same day and time- when he complained and the second caravan was worse than the 1st. I did not want them to give them the opportunity to waste more of my time than they had already done, we didn't want another caravan we wanted to go home. I am much better at putting things into writing than verbally. So I came home and wrote the letter. They should never have put us in those circumstances in the 1st place. The fact is they sold us something and they basically conned us.

 

Na didn't use a credit card - thanks for the input though!

 

Martin - thank you - look forward to hearing for you!

Kate, please can you help...I've just come back from Park Resorts with my family and had the same awful experience. We were supposed to stay three nights but lasted only one! Couldn't wait to get out the filthy place. I emailed them the complaint and they've come back with exactly what you described about about making the complaint while we are there. You were compensated eventually so can you please give me any advice around what you said back to them and the route you took? Thanks, Jas

Hi Jas,

 

Really sorry to hear about your holiday! So disappointing for you and I feel your frustration. Before I direct you or give you what advice I can, can you answer a couple of questions?

 

1) Did you take any photographic evidence? Or any other evidence about the condition of the place?

2) Can you give me a summary as to the problems you had?

3) Did you issue any complaint or speak to anyone at all about the condition whilst you were there?

 

Just want to know which angle to tackle this from - will check in later to see if you have responded. Sorry for the delay in responding, been busy and just seen your thread.

Kind Regards

Kate

Hi Kate

 

Sorry for taking a while to respond to you. Since sending you the original message, I've replied to Park Resorts and am awaiting their second response. I feel a little conscious about giving all the details on here now in case this is picked up by Park Resorts. I know the chances are slim but my name is the same so would only need a google search.

 

Either I can email you direct if you are happy to give me your email or I will wait to hear back from them and send you another message.

 

Thanks for coming back to me.

I would really welcome some advice please...I had similar problem with Park Resorts as Kate (who started this thread). Really horrible smelly damp bungalow. It was cold and we complained about this twice. Nothing happened after the first complaint and when I complained again, I was told the first hadn't even been logged. I asked for me and my family to be re-located and they said there was no other accommodation available. All we got given was a tiny portable heater which wouldn't have been enough to heat even the smallest room.

 

We have a two year old daughter so checked out after the first night (we were supposed to be there for three) because I didn't want her to endure another night in those smelly cold conditions. Beds have seen better days! I found the staff so unhelpful and even when I checked out, the receptionist didn't bother to ask why we had checked out early...summed up the whole experience really.

 

Unfortunately we didn't take any pics but when we returned, I sent a letter of complaint and asked to be compensated for our petrol and accommodation expense. They replied saying they took my comments on board for training and I should have complained while I was there so they could try to rectify. I then sent a response saying that wasn't good enough and I had a right under the Consumer Law (because I wouldn't have stayed there knowing the conditions were so poor). Plus, I did complain about the cold while there...the first wasn't even logged and the second time, they said there was no where they could move us...so I questioned where they stand when a) complaint isn't logged and/or b) they can not rectify?

 

They have responded again saying they will not be giving me any compensation and talked in detail about having a particularly cold extended winter and that priority for heaters are given to basic caravans who have no heating at all.

 

Please can anyone provide me with some advice on where I should go with this now. I know lots of people prob say this but I genuinely have never complained about a holiday before simply because I have never experienced such low standards. It was appalling. When I opened a back room window to attempt to get the smell out, it was so rotten, wood lice crawled out!

 

How can they think that is acceptable accommodation?!

 

I really regret not thinking to take any pics but will know if I ever go through a similar bad experience.

 

Any advice on where I stand with this now please? I haven't put anything on Trip Advisor but am more than happy to do that so no one else goes through the same 'holiday'.

 

Thanks

Hi,

I am hoping to get some advice on this thread.

Myself, my 2 children, my sister her 2 children and my mum all stayed at parkdean (Shurdale). it was supposed to be 4 nights but was only there for 2. We was in a 3 bedroom van.

The first night we had no sleep due to the caravan behind us. The caravan behind was full of teenagers (No adult supervision). They were swearing shouting and screaming till 2am. We tried to call security repeatedly but could not get through. Myself and my sister went out to ask them to keep the noise down twice, but this did not help matters.

The next morning, we visited reception to let them know what had happened, they said they would investigate, so we went about our day. I popped back into reception on our way back to the caravan to make sure the matter was dealt with and we wouldn’t have a repeat of the night before. I was assured this would not happen.

We got back to the caravan where we started to make dinner when suddenly a few loud bangs were heard. I then realised that things were being thrown at the caravan.

My mum and sister went straight to reception to tell the staff what had happened. They came to the caravan where the staff witnessed a fire extinguisher just outside the caravan which must have been what was thrown.

We did not feel safe and would have all drove home there and then except we had shared a bottle of wine so did not want to drive in case we were over the limit.

They agreed to move us to a different caravan but only had a two-bedroom available, we decided to suffer a tight squeeze and I said it would be fine as long as a travel cot was brought for us to use, we was promised this would be fine and the security guard would bring it for us.

We got to the 2 bedroom caravan about 6pm and I did notice there was some ant powder around the bathroom. Not ideal but I understand ants can sometimes be a problem. I continued to contact security until 9.30pm for the travel cot, He finally said he couldn’t find one so instead I asked for extra duvets and pillows and was going to try and make a safe place for my sister’s baby to sleep.

I slept in the living on the pull-out bed with my 2 children 8 and 4 years old. I was woken up a 3am with ants crawling all over me I then spent the rest of the early hours of the morning on ant watch stopping any ants from crawling over my children. It was vile! The floor was moving! I have video evidence on this.

My mum and sister woke up at 6am and we made our way home immediately. Reception did not open till 9 and we weren’t waiting around in the caravan till then.

9am I rang the reception desk at parkdean and asked to speak to the manager. I explained what had happened and he promised we would get a full refund. I wasn’t expecting anything less.

I checked my bank account 3 weeks later and the money had not been refunded. I rang the reception again and was told by the same manager that we wouldn’t be getting the refund as we had damaged the caravan.

Honestly, I was gobsmacked! I asked what damage and for proof that I have never been given. I asked why no one had contacted me to tell me this and he had no answer.

I rang customer services and started a new complaint. Basically went through the whole story again, I was told I would hear from them in 7-10 days. After 10 days rang them back and was told the case had been resolved and closed. No one had contacted us to tell us our refund had been refused, the staff at shurdale just closed the case.

I was told that they would reopen the case as I wasn’t happy with the decision. I waited another 10 days and received a letter in the post from Shurdales general manager again they stated they wouldn’t refund. No justification given!

So sorry for the long story but basically I want to now hit them with a letter before action and I have no idea where to start?

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
