    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

On Monday 31/03/14 I went into work like I would do any normal day, I put my stuff away went to clock in an I was called into office, My manager sat me down and said to me

" Abi, You don't seem right for the job (after 4months of being there) I think its best we end it here, You will be paid for the next week, but you don't have to work it, take it off"

 

So that was it, in work for 10am back out and on my way home by 10:25

 

I text my ex manager yesterday to see when I would get a formal letter from the company saying I no longer work for them, when the weeks wage would get paid to me and also for them to sort my commission that I am owed from January. He is yet to reply.

 

The reason I am posting this is because;

A- Are they just allowed to dismiss me like that, no letter, no warning .. just a good bye

B - How do I go about recovering my wage and commission when I do not have it in writing that I have been let go or that they are going to pay me

 

The company I worked for are notorious for not paying people what they are owed, but I refuse to let it go, being unemployed I need the £400 they owe me

so any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thank you :)

I did document everything, my regional manager who was giving me all the problems was dismissed a few weeks ago due to his attitude towards customers and employees

don't text! send letters, keep a copy and proof of postage!

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Letters end up in the bin or in the "filing" system which is a huge pile on the desk that never gets sorted through, they have letters from the court for payments that have been there for a few weeks and are being dealt with, Unfortunately working for them I have become used to their lack of taking responsibility they would much rather bury their heads in the sand.

the letter is not really for your employer, it's for a copy for the court. You are busy building an audit trail for court at the moment.

  • 2 weeks later...

I wrote a post on here a while ago about being dismissed from work

 

**Dismissed on 31/3/14 I was told I needed to work a wee but to take this as a holiday and they would still pay me for it .. which I did as it was my manager who told me. I am yet to receive a letter from the company saying I have no job, I am also waiting for the weeks wage £260 and my commission from January £110**

 

I tried to contact my manager who never responded, so I wrote a letter to the head office making them aware that I still have not received the letter or the money they owe me. This letter was sent recorded and signed for (which was signed for on 14/4/14) They still have not replied.

 

Before I send them my 2nd letter I was wondering if there were anyways I could convince them to pay the owed money without going to court.

Are there any employment laws that say they need to pay this to me ? and send me my letter ??

 

Thank you

yes, there are laws about employment but you will struggle to enforce them without court by the sounds of it.

 

try moneyclaim online - £25 to lodge a claim from memory, may be wrong - court correspondence may scare them into action

 

have you checked your home insurance for legal cover?

Not moneyclaim after just one letter. I know you want what is owed to you, but write again and tell them they have 7 days to make the payments owed or you will take further action. You can head your letter 'Letter Before Action' so they are in no doubt what your intentions are and end your letter that no further correspondence will be entered into.

 

 

If they don't respond to this one, then you can begin court action.

Hello AL. I'ver merged the most recent thread that you started which I think is relevant to this employer. It will help guys like Emmzzi to advise you. Please think of the advisers and the advice that you would like to receive when you ask questions on CAG. If you add to an existing thread, it will help them to help you.
