    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks

    • 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.

Hello,

 

I am looking for some advice if possible regarding an issue that I have with them about a phone that I have returned to them to get replaced under warranty.

 

On the 27th September, I returned my Google Pixel device back to Google's warehouse, using UPS shipping labels provided to me via their customer support live chat.

 

 

This shipping method provided me with a tracking number so I could find out when it arrived. Great!

 

 

The phone was delivered to Google's warehouse in Germany on the 29th September.

A few days after I knew it had arrived at the warehouse, I got in touch with Google as I had received no confirmation from them to say that they have received my phone.

 

 

I questioned this and was assured that my phone has been received at the warehouse and all is good, my replacement device will be shipped to me as soon as it has processed through their systems.

 

A few more days passed with no information from Google still regarding my device, I get in contact again and explain.

They tell me that they are unable to find my device that I sent them.

This is where I begin to get slightly concerned.

 

 

I explain to them that the tracking shows delivery (I sent them this in a screenshot).

They asked me to provide shipping labels, which I did,

but when I sent them to them, I never got a response regarding it.

 

Cut a long story short,

every time I've contacted Google I have spoken to a different agent, whether this was through live chat/phone call.

I finally thought I was getting somewhere when I spoke to a staff member on the phone who told me that they are going to send me a Pixel XL in replacement for my Pixel device and that I will receive it within 7 working days. Excellent! I'm getting somewhere I thought.

 

 

A few more days passed from that point, no shipping confirmation, no confirmation of receiving the device, nothing.

The only communication has been when I have contacted them via email or live chat.

 

 

Following this discussion, I received an email from the live chat again who explained that there has been no update on the device's whereabouts and that no new device will be sent until they find it.

As you can understand, I was not happy and email back explaining the conversation I had with an agent on the phone.

 

Finally, Wednesday 11th October, two weeks since I sent the device.

I spoke to someone on the phone, who was an excellent help.

 

 

He said that he has now just processed it as if they have received the device and that it is processing through the system now and will hopefully be sent to be soon (not exactly 100% what I wanted to hear, but it's a start).

 

 

He explained to me that I should email him on Friday 13th October if I have received no communication regarding the replacement as he personally processed the replacement whilst on the phone to me.

 

 

He also explained to me that he is now the only person that I will talk to for this case.

So tomorrow, I will call Ollie the agent again to speak to him regarding the device,

because as of this evening, no device has been sent out to me.

 

The most aggravating part for me during this has been speaking to different people every single time I contact, even by email, a different person replies to me. I have tried to escalate the case as much as possible, but am being told that there is nobody else that is able to talk to me. Even when challenged, I got a response from a so-called "supervisor" by email, who I replied to but have never heard anything back from. Along with this, I have found an email address online for their grievance department, but as of yet, nobody has got back to me on that email, except an automated response.

 

What would people suggest in doing?

I plan on arrange for a call from the agent I spoke to on Wednesday tomorrow morning, but I am unsure at what I should do if he says that there is nothing else he can do to speed the process up. Despite the fact someone told me it was sent before he did.

 

Any suggestions? Apologies for the long story, but have condensed it down as much as possible.

 

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

 

EDIT: Each time that I have spoken to a person on the phone and they have given me information such as sending me a different device or such. I have got them to email me this, so that I have a copy of this in writing each time that they have said it.

I actually bought the device originally around this time last year, but through Carphone Warehouse.

 

But for this return for a replacment, I have specifically dealt with Google rather than going through Carphone Warehouse, as the device is still under warranty from Google. I also have had previous bad experience with Carphone Warehouse, so I subsequently went straight through Google in this instance. I haven't had to pay anything out to Google at all. I'm simply just sent my device to them to replace, but they've since lost it they told me.

Everyone that I have spoken to so far, whether that be on live chat or on the phone has been lovely and very willing to help. Although, it's the matter of getting no definative answer from them that has been the unfortunate and fustrating part of the entire process.

 

We will see how they go from here onwards.

UPDATE: As of today, I have heard nothing from the CEO email that I emailed to on Thursday. I still have no reply from grievence and no update from people that I am communicating with on the customer support.

 

I have called them again on Saturday to provide me with an update. This is where some fun information was bought to my attention. The staff member I spoke to on Saturday has realised the tracking number I have on my parcel I sent and the one that they have for me are different. This is where they reckon the issue lays. They said that they have escalated this case to a "tier 3" issue and have said that they have noted this as a serious issue now as it is coming up to 18 days without my device. According to the person that I spoke to Saturday Google's store policy for customer support is as follows:

 

Customer service contact/live chat are the only people that are able to talk to customers.

Managers/Supervisors are there to manage customer service advisors on the phone and these managers/supervisors will not speak to any customers at all.

When customer service escalate your case, they will speak to their specialists via live chat only, these specialists will also not talk to you on the phone.

Any information that these specialists or parts of the escalation team have they will email to the customer service team, who then have to forward the email to me.

 

 

I am pretty unsure at the next steps for me possibly to take, I feel as if I have exhausted the possible forms or communication that I know of. I have emailed the CEO email, grievance, customer support about 25+ times and still no solution.

 

Any support here would be ideal. I'm unsure about if I should potentially contact my local trading standards and ask for their support, see if they have anything that they can give me any advice at all. I'm not sure.

Hi JHA

 

Sorry i missed your response - It slipped my little mind..!

Have you had an update?

 

I am currently today waiting for my device to arrive today by UKMail after 25 days of waiting since I sent my phone.

 

I finally was contacted by someone outside of the customer support team and in the escalation team this morning, where she offered me £20 Google Play Credit as a compensation gift,

 

I said that in the nicest respects,

I don't spend money on the Google Play store as you can't use it on devices or stuff like that only downloadable items.

Plus, I've already been given £20 credit so it would have made it £40 in total.

 

I questioned if there was anything else that might be offered to me, to which she said she understands and that she will see what she can arrange.

 

This lady also explained to me the issue that made the process so long,

she said to me that it was due to the fact that they didn't have the Pixel in stock,

then they agreed to send me a Pixel XL,

but then the Pixel's came back into stock and they were going to send me one of those, which is not entirely true,

 

but it's whatever, I'm done with it now. I am just glad to have finally been sent a device, even if it did take 25 days.

 

Still pretty disappointed that this has taken so long, as they usually excel in customer service in my past experiences, but this happens from time to time.

Bravo - Thats great to hear. To be honest with Google - They are probably right about the Pixel Stock... It comes and goes and google have had major issues trying to fill orders at times :/

Ask them for a pair of new buds xd :) - They are worth £150 xd

I don't disbelieve them at all about the stock, I understand it happens.

 

I've tried a Pixel 2, that one fell on deaf ears, I'm working my way down. The near earbuds would be excellent, I can always ask, they can only say no. Haha.

That's no issue, I appreciate your help throughout and providing me with CEO email, as I believe that is the way the escalation team got in touch with me.

If you do get them, let me know how you get on with them :) xd

Youve been without your phone for a while - Id say they should get it done..

 

Also glad to be of some help. If all goes to pot - CEOs have dedicated teams to help with escalations :)

 

Just need to be patient sometimes :)
