    • No, do the section 75 chargeback to your credit card provider.
    • See what dx thinks but it seems to me that sending a photo of your own pass isn't relevant to what happened. Let's wait and see what he says. HB

    • Many thanks for the replies and advice!   I what to send this email to the Starbucks CEO and the area manager. Your thoughts would be appreciated.   [email protected] [email protected]   Re: MET Parking PNC at your Starbucks Southgate site   Dear Ms Rayner, / Dear Heather Christie,   I have received a Notice to Keeper regarding a Parking Charge Notice of £100 for the driver parking in the Southgate Park Car Park, otherwise infamously known as the Stanstead Starbucks/McDonalds car park(s).   Issued by: MET Parking Services Ltd Parking Charge Notice Number: XXXXXXXXX Vehicle Registration Number: XXXX XXX Date of Contravention: XX.XX.XXXX Time: XX:XX - XX:XX   After a little research it apears that the driver is not alone in being caught in what is commonly described as a scam, and has featured in the national press and on the mainstream television.   It is a shame that the reputation of Starbucks is being tarnished by this, with your customers leaving the lowest possible reviews on Trustpilot and Trip Advisor at this location, and to be associated with what on the face of it appears to be a doubious and predatory car park management company.   In this instance, during the early hours of the morning the driver required a coffee and parked up outside Starbucks with the intention of purchasing one from yourselves. Unfortunately, you were closed so the driver walked to McDonalds next door and ordered a coffee, and for this I have received the Notice to Keeper.   It is claimed that the car park is two separate car parks (Starbucks/McDonalds). However, there is no barrier or road markings to identity a boundary, and the signage in the car park(s) and outside your property is ambiguous, as such the terms would most likely be deemed unfair and unenforcable under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   I understand that Starbucks-Euro Garages neither operate or benefit from the charges imposed by MET Parking. However, MET Parking is your client.   Additionally, I understand that the charge amount of £100 had previously been upheld in court due to a ‘legitimate interest in making sure that a car park was run as efficiently as possible to benefit other drivers as well as the local stores, keeping cars from overstaying’.   However, this is not applicable when the shop or store is closed (as was the case here), as there is no legitimate interest. Therefore, the amount demanded is a penalty and is punitive, again contravening the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   As the driver’s intention of the visit was genuine, I would be grateful if you could please instruct your client to cancel this Notice to Keeper/Parking Charge Notice.   Kind regards
    • I received the promised call back from the Saga man today who informed me that the undertakers have decreed it IS a modification and they will need to recalculate a quote individually for me. However it all sounds very arbitrary. The more I think about it, and with help from forum replies, the more I am sure that it is not a modification. If for example the original seatback had become damaged by a spillage or a tear, I would be entitled to replace it with the nearest available part. The problem is when it comes to a payout after an accident, there is no telling what an individual insurer will decide when he notices the change. I am still undecided which of the two best routes to go with, either don't mention the replacement at all, or fill in the quote form without mentioning, and when it comes to buying the insurance over the phone, mention it at the time.

    • 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

 

yesterday i recieved a letter from northampton court saying i had 14 days to reply with my admission

or denial at a jd williams debt for 310 pounds.

 

This catalouge debt is about 5years old and is mostly charges

 

a couple of years ago i got letters from several debt collectors inc llowell

 

i sent back proof it letters with the pound postsl orders

 

no one came back with anything and

all went quiet until the court letters

 

it wants my employers details income outgoings etc..

 

...i could really do without a ccj!!

 

Should i contact llowell and ask them to set up a payment plan?

 

Do i tell the court ive done this?

 

I only work 16 hours per week and with 2 kids i can set up payment plan.

 

Never had a court letter so dont understand it all.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Claire.

'the claimant's claim is for the sum of 390.21 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant

under a mail order agreement regulated by the consumer cedit act 1974

between the defendnt and jd williams under the account ref *********

and assigned to the claiment on the 20/12/2012

 

notice of which has been given to the defendent,

 

the defendet failed to maintain the payment under the terms of the agreement

and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

the claim also includes intrest to section 69 of the county courts act at a rate of 8.00%

 

catalouge was taken out roughly 5 and half years ago. (most of this amount is charges)

 

where do i go from here

 

im loosing sleep over this

 

i really dont want a ccj and

 

just need to know if me contacting lowell

 

and setting up oayment arrangments is enough to stop this going any further.

 

thank you

If you make an arrangement to pay, and they accept, from what i have read they will still continue with the claim unless they can say they will discontinue with the claim, but you will need that in writing....do not phone lowell or carter do everything in writing, that way you have a written record send all letters recorded delivery.

 

At the moment, I and quite a few others have also received claims from Carters/ Lowells they send these out like confetti.

 

Personally i am not worried about the claim, as they have failed to produce the documents they are relying on to take this to court.

 

when they send the claims out, they hope that the individual will just pay what they are after, what they don`t like is when the defendants stands up to defend the claims.

Lowells and carters send these claims out without checking whether they are right or wrong. meaning they dont have the correct paperwork in place when the claim is issued.

 

 

You have the following timescale to go with, You have 33 days in total subject to how you decide to proceed.

5 days from date of claim for the claim to be deemed served so 28 remaining ...14 to Acknowledge service and if defending a further 14 to submit a defence.

first thing you need to do is acknowledge the claim online http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk there is password on the claim form to use for this.

when you do the acknowledgement tick that you want to defend all ( if you do) and do not tick the jurisdiction.

 

hope that helps

You need to send the CCA Requestlink3.gif to whoever has sent you the Court papers.

 

You also need to send the CPR31.14 to the same people, asking for

a) Agreement

b) Default notice

c) NOA

d) How the debt is made up

Ok

 

I may as well defend it if they are going to give me a ccj anyway??

 

This debt has been passed around a handful of dca's and

 

when I've sent cca requests nothing comes back

all goes quiet for a while and

then another crops up.

 

I'll acknowledge the claim defend it and

 

send the cca request and

 

other kettle mentioned recorded delivery to Lowell tomorrow?

 

Thank you will keep this updated x

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
