    • 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.

I took out a large A&L loan in 2007 to consolidate etc etc etc - you know the story. The application was made via telephone and they sent the forms via post for me to sign, which I did. I have recently CCA'd Santander who took over A&L. and thry have duly sent me a copy of the orginal agreement.

 

The agreement includes amounts for PPI which I had crossed through those and specifically stated on the back of the agreement that i did not wish to purchase PPI. I will scan the Agreement and post it tomorrow for your thoughts. It looks ok to me.

 

My beef with them is that I hit financial probs in 2008 and offered reduced payments which they accepted for a while. I wasthen advised that as i could not afford to pay my arrears they swould be looking for a CCJ to apply a charging order on my property and it was only a formality and not to worry, to keep making reduced payments. I was so naive at tthe time and just went along with it. I had just had a baby and had no idea how to deal with things like this. It was utter madness as our house was (and still is) in negative equity so the order is worth zilch to them.

 

I am continually pursued by Shoosmiths who state they are delaying with the debt. Im just wondering where I stand on this - I know it's a bit of a imppossible question to answer at the moment but I thought it important to get a thread started in the hope that someone has been through a similar thing with A&L or another bank.

 

I will send an SAR to Santander to see if there are any flaws in their processes. I just wonder if its all too late beings as the CCJ has already been awarded.

Just to update this thread. SAR docs were sent to me on 03/11/12. Contained very little info and only related to most recent loan which was taken out in 07. I had several loans with Alliance and Leicester and am certain there would have been PPI on them. Sadly I have no records - DOH!. Santander are saying that they have destoyed all info prior to this. I dont believe this for one minute so failed SAR letter to go tomorrow demanding the info or records of destruction dates, authorisation etc. I will keep you posted as to what comes back (if anything). Id love to hear of anyone in a similar position who has won their PPI claim. I didnt want to just submit a 'just in case' claim. Its far better to have the info to hand .

Hi guys just an update,

 

Ive recd a letter today from Santander stating the historical information can only be retained for legitimate reasons, therefore some personal data may no longer be held as it has been deleted in line with our retention policy. We can however confirm that we have sent you all the personal data that we still hold in relation to the customers account.

 

Im unsure what to do next folks. I had a feeloing they would do this. Should I be SAR'ing Alliance and Leicester maybe as these were who the loans were with?

 

I know I had many labs with A&L and they are bound to have PPI ont hem that I want to claim back

 

thanks

Can anybody advise on this please. Should I send an SAR to A&L for old loans even though Santander had taken over the latest loan. I am pretty certain I had PPI on the old loans but Ive no iodea how I can find out without an SAR,

 

Cheers

Well ive been searching high and low for any kind of references and even resorted to asking my bank for old statements which they duly sent.

 

This paid off and I have at least one ref number for the old A&L loan. Next question is - where the blinking heck do I go from here? I have already SAR'd Santander who only sent the very latest loan details. Should I write back to them 'with reference to my previous SAR request' and give them the account numbers now that i have them?

 

Any advice is really appreciated
