    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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,

 

I thought I would make this post, I have found a couple of other posts on here on this subject but they don't go anywhere or get finished. I always finish something I set out to do so I will follow through with this thread to it's conclusion.

 

I have set out claiming refunds from all of the people I have had financial dealings with and so far through being bull headed I have had successes with Blackhorse (full refund of charges) and Lombard (full refund of charges) the next two on my radar are Argos store card (Home Retail Group) and Asda Credit card (Santander) both have rejected my claims to date.

 

This post is about Argos, I have attached a copy of their reject letter, can you please have a look through it and give me your thoughts, I do not really want to go to the ombudsmen, I think I know that they will agree with Argos, so I believe my alternative is small claims.

 

 

Please let me know what you think. My claim is for £155.25 (£108 charges).

 

AS

Idem/ACM and RBS Lombard Full refund of fees.

Blackhorse Car Loan Full refund of fees without argument.

Argos store card (Home Retail Group) are fighting back. see my posts.

Their charges are unlawful and unenforceable. Go to the FOS instead of court. The charges also dont come under the limitation act iirc.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thats for credit cards, but the idea is still the same

1. Stick to your guns:

Credit card companies don’t like giving money back so they’ll try to put you off, even citing the changes around bank charges as a reason to delay your credit card claim. Don’t let them get away with it – they have to deal with your claim now, one way or another.

the FOS are a waste of time of charges

they will not make a decision.

any PENALTY charge is unlawful.

 

until/unless they publish their cost

regardless of employing some bod to assess them

[same trick as what GE pulled]

 

however they are correct that they can offset as all CCC's can do

as long as they own the account.

 

so sounds like they are going to do that.

Thanks for all of the info, excellent as usual, dx the good news is the account is paid in full so they do owe me.

 

I am going to do the same as I did with Arden (Lombard) and ask them for a break down of their costs. It alleges in the letter that it costs £12 to send a letter, two of the charges I am claiming are letter fees.

  • 1 month later...

I have received a further rejection letter from Argos Store Card, this time it looks like even a team leader hasn't got a clue what they are doing. I have never mentioned Coversafe Insurance, I didn't have any insurance on this card.

 

I now have to make a decision wether to go the LBA, Court route or try out the FOS, I am still not confident in the FOS.

 

If I go to court can I get access to the documents they intend to use as Evidence in their defence? As it states in this letter.

 

Any experience other caggers have or advice would be appreciated, I am not giving up this easily, they cannot justify £12 to send a letter.

 

Thanks

until they publish their costs then they remain a PENALTY charge and thus unlawful.

 

even the OFT/FSA doc says so.
