    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you

    • 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,

 

I sent a letter of complaint to Blackhorse on 16/10/06 regarding being mis-sold PPI on a loan taken out earlier this year. At the time of the application I was told that if I didn't take the PPI - no loan and as no other company would touch me (due to a default) I was backed into a corner and agreed to go ahead. Looking at the loan agreement prior to my letter of complaint, the figures were shocking, details below.

 

Loan amount £5000 (secured loan by the way) over 10 years

Total charge for credit £5270.80

Total that will be paid over the term £10,270.80

 

PPI purchase price £2233.78

Total charge for credit £2353.82

Total that will be paid over the term £4587.60!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Considering I did my own digging around and can get the same PPI cover for £3.95/month instead of £38.23/month this is shocking.

 

Anyway, the whole point of this is I had a telephone call today from Blackhorse, they are cancelling the PPI straight away and reduced amount will apply from next month BUT no refund as they state that "in the policy summary, with the

t & c's sent before I signed the agreement it states that the PPI is optional". Now I cannot find this but in the agreement it does state "optional payment protection plan" and goes on to give the figures above.

They also say that I should have complained within 30 days of taking out loan as opposed to 6 months later and are quite adament that no refund is due!

 

I ended the call by saying I would look through all the loan info and put any further comments/complaint in writing.

 

So what I am asking - to anybody who may know - can I pursue a refund of premiums paid or should I be satisfied that I've managed to cancel the PPI????? I'm thinking I should have read the paperwork properly in the first place!

Was the loan agreed over the telephone or at their offices ?

 

If it was by phone ,I would issue a SAR under the data protection act to get copies of all info they have relating to the agreement, also state that transcrips or audio recording of telephone conversations are required.

 

Thats what I did and in fact so to speak and they have shot themselves in the foot..lol.

 

Have also sent you a PM..

I dont see how PPI can be reduced? But you havent advised how much they reduced it?

 

You have been paying the amount that they sold you and as agreed. Does this change now mean that you have signed a new agreement, does it mean that you have less cover, if not then what where you paying for up untilll now?

 

I just dont see how they can reduce your PPI. UNless the have reduced you to a not so high risk and if they have then how come they can accept you now at this rate and not then? what has changed?

 

 

If they were in thier right to charge the oiginal PPI i can't see Blackhorse changing it. its like giving money away and we all know how the banks work now, they dont give away anything..

 

I would look deeper into this,and get your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) off as soon as possible.

 

BL:)

Hi breadline,

 

They haven't reduced the PPI, they have apparently taken it off the loan to leave just monthly repayments of the loan amount and interest itself, so now I am paying for a loan without PPI but they refuse to give me a refund of the PPI payments made so far as in their eyes I've had approx 6 months cover for what I paid to date! Does that make sense??

 

Anyway they were supposed to be sending me an ammended loan agreement to reflect the above but nothing received so far and I have decided that the SAR is the way to go. If they have set me up with a new loan I won't be happy!

 

Will send SAR this week and see if there is anything to strengthen my case.

Hi jo5ephedward5,

where have you been sending your letters, I sent mine to the complaints dept in Cardiff and got quite a prompt initial response but still awaiting that loan agreement!!!! I doubt its coming at all, also checked my online banking and they so say were going to ammend the DD to reflect the change in monthly payment - nothing different there either!!

 

Beware they do like to back you into a corner over the phone, in future I want their response in writing.

 

SAR going off today (thanks to Reidnet).

 

Good luck to all in this situation x

i sent it to a cardiff address - i called and asked where to send it and they said the general cardiff address.

 

i sent all stuff recorded and they are getting signed for the other end - just hear no response - i will be issuing a full SAR and copying my complaints to trading standards as soon as i have a spare £10 for them!

Surprise, surprise, my monthly payment for Nov has gone out of my bank account and it is not the reduced payment as I had been advised. Still no response to my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) or no ammended loan agreement to sign.

 

I get the feeling the sneaky ******** are up to something, by my calculation they have until 11/12 to respond to my SAR, In the meantime I'm being screwed!!!

Any luck jo5ephedward5???? Have your payments been reduced by the amount of ppi? Also the slip you had to sign - was this a new loan agreement or does your existing loan continue just minus ppi???

 

I'm unsure what Blackhorse are up to in my case, still no word!

you have to ask for the informaton they hold about you under the consume credit act, they have 12 working days to respond if they dont then they are in breach themselves and cannot inforce the debt, look up the 'consumer credet act' and you wil be amazed what they have to comply with, me well they not sent mine and Black horse are one of the worse to respond to letters, i have been waiting a response since september lasr year and every month i send another. oh and dont forget your £1.00 fee when you ask for the request. good luck and i look out for your response.
