    • 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 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. 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.

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm quite new here and finding it difficult to find my way around. I took out Halifax Mortgage Repayments Insurance 10 years ago when I bought my house. Reading the Conditions booklet it seems I that if I am unable to work through accident, sickness or disability for at least 30 days I can make a claim on this policy and they will pay a sum equal to my mortgage payment + 25% provided this is supported by a doctors note. I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and will be off work for at least 12 weeks, probably more. I have asked them to send me a claim form and am hoping that they will allow the claim. I live alone and don't have any support really so I am going to need extra cash for hospital appointments and household help. To have my mortgage paid would relieve some of the stress and worry about financial issues. Having read some of the posts on Critical Illness cover and the way that Insurance Co's try their best to wriggle out of paying up I am seriously worried. I know this isn't a critical illness policy but perhaps it is the same procedure when you make a claim. I don't remember being asked about illness when I took it out and I don't think they contacted my GP for medical records. If I was asked about illness I probably said no because I would have assumed they meant big things like heart disease, diabetes, cancer etc. I have noticed that claims have been refused because of things like viral illness and I am sure that I will have had something like that (most people do!). The last thing I need right now is a battle with the Halifax; I have enough fighting to do to regain my health. Perhaps I shouldn't bother to fill in the claim form? Or if I decide to do so does anyone have any practical tips to help me? Maybe someone has this same insurance and can give me their experience of making a claim. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suzie. I'm very sorry you're having a tough time.

 

I claimed on a similar policy a while back for mental ill-health [and was paid out]. In my humble opinion, the first thing is to read the policy document thoroughly if you're up to it. Otherwise you could post it here, scanned or typed by you.

 

You're right, it's not a critical illness policy and your problem is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect you to be covered for. Can you tell us any more please?

Hi HB

 

The certificate of insurance says nothing at all about pre existing medical conditions nor does the booklet. I wondered if there might be a schedule but the cert and booklet is the only paperwork I have relating to the policy. I have searched high and low but have nothing else at all. Hopefully this is a good thing rather than a bad?

I take it you have a good relationship with your GP.

 

I would have a confidential word with your doctor about this and stress the fact you are worried about it.

 

As you have checked the policy, you don't have anything to worry about.

 

You don't need the worry about that when the priority is your health and focusing on that and your return to fighting fitness.

 

Very best of luck to you. Please keep us up to date.

I got myself worried when I read other posts about claims not being paid out because people failed to declare minor health conditions. I went to the doctor with suspected asthma for which I was given an inhaler (but have had no recurrence since so don't really think it was asthma) and I'm sure I also discussed anxiety/depression with him during my divorce but I don't remember being given any medication. Would these things cause them to disallow my claim if it turns out that they were before 2000? My GP is a bit of a control freak and not very approachable so I don't suppose he would help me in any way with my records if that's what you're meaning Kenny. I guess I'm just going to have to fill in the form and then just wait and see what happens. If they say no, then I'll just have to accept that. I haven't any fight left in me. Thanks for your good wishes HB & Kenny.

Hello again. A pre-existing condition means one you had before you took out the policy as far as I'm aware and what you've mentioned certainly isn't related to breast cancer. Have you checked out the Halifax website if your documentation doesn't help? I understand that you would like to be forearmed on this.

 

You might consider a phone call to the FSA/fos because they might be able to advise you at this stage. I know some of the insurance gurus here advise that when it gets a bit sticky.

 

Kenny is right, you shouldn't be worrying at this stage and we're here to back you up whenever you need it.
