    • Thanks Dx. Still finding my way around this forum thing. Cant tell you how grateful I am for all the help. Just submitted the 75 to Natwest. Fingers crossed.
    • ok nothing historic there then. dx  
    • Hi All,  I have tried to use my own words as much as possible, any better suggestions are welcome.  I have been sleepless and hence i can't really think of alternative words, will definitely give it another go if you have points that i may have left out? Worry
    • Thanks all for all your input. I have decided to follow this all the way. So far, I have not replied to Alliance Parking's original NTK letter. The time-period for the reduced amount has now finished, and the time to appeal (21 days from the date of letter) will finish on 25th Apr. No further comms received from Alliance Parking. Could you please guide me, for my readiness, on what happens next? Am I going to start receiving letters from Alliance Parking > Debt Collector letters > Letter of Claim? Who sends me the Letter of Claim - Alliance Parking / Debt Collectors / Solicitors / court? How many weeks / months from now is this likely to be? Once Alliance Parking passes the debt off to the Debt Collectors, is there a risk of anyone turning up at the door? Do I need to reply to any other letters from either the parking company, debt collectors, or solicitors? Many thanks in advance.
    • I've just noticed this so wanted to my apologies for my response to this yesterday I didn't realise his name was worry, I thought you meant worry as in be concerned not referring to his name.   My apologies.

    • 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 All,

 

Newcomer to this Forum here - finally spurred into taking some action after (Yet) another £30.00 charge for going £2.00 and some change over my O/D limit, a couple of days ago.

 

I've had a fairly thorough read of this site (Especially the FAQ's) and the GLC's and I think I'm reasonably up to speed with what I need to do but I'm sure I'll need some more specialist advice at some point during the process so I thought I'd get on here and introduce myself.

 

Delivered my Data Protection Act letter by hand to my BOS branch in Stirling today. The guy I gave it to looked a bit worried when I handed it over and asked for a receipt. I don't know if they've been seeing an increase in this sort of thing lately (I hope they have!) or if he was just one of life's natural worriers.

 

Anyway, he asked me if "I wanted to speak to anyone about this", which I thought was fairly pointless - what were they going to do/say? What did he think I was going to do/say, other than just repeat what was in the letter - and I just smiled and said, "No, Thankyou.", very politely; waited for my receipt and then left. Most fun I'd had in a bank in ages.

 

So now, by my calculation, BOS have until 17/08/2006 to accede to my DPA request. Seems like I've got a lot of sitting around to do until then but I'm going to keep reading these forums, see what other useful info I can pick up and, of course, offer my support, as much as possible to anyone else going through the same process. United We Stand!

Hello,

 

Checked online today and the BOS have cashed the £10.00 cheque I handed over along with my Data Protection Act letter. So I'm assuming my back statements will be on their way soon'ish. Won't be holding my breath, though, their forty day deadline doesn't expire until August 17th.
