    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

Santander have rejected my PPI claim (store card) from 17 years ago on the grounds they believe it was sold in a proper manner (over the phone - which it wasnt - as I signed-up in-store with an agreement the assistant ticked for PPI) and was offered as optional and appropriate for me etc etc - which I absolutely disagree with.

 

I have issued a SAR - but already do have copies of Agreement and statements etc.

 

Unsure of whats best as next move

- do I escalate issue with FOS (that I'm not hearing good reports about!) or small claims action?

 

The amount of money involved is probably fairly small (circa £200 in PPI premiums?)

 

Any thoughts appreciated!

Absolutely.

 

Brought items in store

- signed an agreement which assistant marked up and advised apparently needed to have PPI if you want immediate approval!

 

Bank now suggest that this was perfectly acceptable practice and I would have had the opportunity to review T's & C's at the point of signing - what!!!

 

Stood in a queue, clutching a pair of jeans and a couple of shirts

- with people waiting to pay behind you

- well of course I'll have a review of your piggin terms to see if I'm being stitched-up

- even though the terms do not state how much this PPI farce will cost me.

 

Bank suggests I would have had 30 days to cancel if I wasn't happy

- but they didnt send the formal info in post to me till 60 days later???

Not amused!

Recently submitted SAR to Santander- the same bank who was handling and rejecting couple of old PPI claims.

They have stated they hold no data for me - despite my having a current account with them for last 12 years - which is registered to my current address - detailed on my original SAR.

 

 

Excerpt of letter below:-

 

Can anyone advise whether you have to detail ALL previous addresses where they may have held data

- I originally provided full name, current address, date of birth

- and asked for data held on any and all addresses for me.

 

 

Equally, I'm not sure they are allowed to suggest they only hold data for 6 years

- when, whilst trying to log a PPI claim, they found data on old store cards going back 17 years?

Thanks re-read the posts and will write to them again.

 

However, my issue is that

1) not sure I'll remember all my addresses over last 20 years,

2) if it's genuinely only limited to 6 years - pointless exercise,

3) I thought a SAR required all information 'uniquely and personally identifiable' to you

- which an address is not

- whereas a proper name and 'date of birth' is very much unique to me and easily searchable/identifiable?,

4) My current account is with them and at current address - which they haven't even found

5) they clearly do have info beyond 6 years which they have failed to disclose

- as they are dealing with PPI claims older than 6 years (and rejecting them based on the records they hold - even if incorrect!)

 

Have reviewed ICO website regards longevity of data which doesn't suggest any cap of 6 years

- just as long as company holds data, in accordance with rules of DPA and their own compliance policy?

So surely, if they HAVE the data (which they clearly do) - they have to release it?

Bank has now provided 'final decision' and rejected my claim

- as has the insurer, Axa.

 

 

Have sent SAR to bank but still awaiting results

- although do have my original agreement and statements etc.

 

 

Bank suggest as account prior to 2005, I cant go to FOS with complaint against them - but can against Axa??

 

 

If I wish to proceed and reject their decision

- poss small claims

- do I go after the insurer or bank as original creditor?

You do need to get a move on if you are going to be escalating your claim to the FOS. Aside from which, the FCA have advised there is now a deadline for PPI claims - August 2019.

 

Although as I understand it, "We fight any claim" are or have taken the FCA to court according to an article I found online dated March 2017.

  • 1 month later...

I am considering starting a small claims action - to recover mis-sold PPI premiums from apprx 20 years ago!

 

Please can someone advise as to whether I have to calculate/show the interest element I am asking for in restitution

- or do I just show the value of premiums paid and ask the Court (if my claim is successful!) to award interest as they see fit?

 

Equally, if I have to identify value of interest

- do I use statutory or ask Court to award compound interest in restitution

- calculated at contractual rate of agreement (15%) charged to date of claim

(even if I could do this - am concerned that 'compound' calculated over 20 years on few hundred pounds could take my claim over £10k - therefore no longer being able to be considered in Small Claims track? Very confused!!

 

All help much appreciated!!

firstly,

have a look at the fos site re how they calculate ppi redress.

as that wld probably be considered in any claim.

 

generally, it's not simply a case of adding stat interest and compund interest to the amount of premiums paid.

the history of the account would need to be looked at, and if not fully available then a reconstruction.

 

also, generally, interest amounts claimed should not count re the technical value of a claim for the purposes of track.

 

interest should usually be set out separately on a claim form as per the civil procedure rules.

is there a background thread on this, have you exhausted complaints and fos.

the fosrunninsheet will do it all for you.

you cant charge them at their interest rate after they stopped charging it.

Many thanks Ford. I feared it wouldn't be simple!!

Yes, have exhausted route with 2 banks - made original complaints (via Resolver) but one bank claims I have not had PPI on my account - despite my providing copies of statements that clearly show I have! Have queried several times - but they are holding their position and stating thats their final decision? The other bank state I requested PPI on telesales call - which I definitely did not (took out in-store for storecard with pre-ticked application form). I considered escalating through FOS but varying reports/experience on their level of expertise in resolving matters - so issued an LbA to banks and thought I would try and pursue via small claims procedure??
