    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕
    • Though it would be Highview you would  pursue. DCBL are nonentities-on their best day,
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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 guys sorry to bother you.

 

syesterday i got caught stealing from primark.

i was cold needed a jacket thought id nip in and grab one.

 

Didnt work out for the best and i really regret my decision.

 

i was detained for around an hour or so and i was asked about my details etc.

 

i gave them my name, phone number and address.

they said that a civil recovery team would get in touch with me over this matter and i will be issued a fine.

 

They threatened me wth bailifs and other court orders as well.

 

the only thing is at no cost can i let my family find out as they will kill me.

 

i am going to set up a royal mail direct so my mail is not sent home.

 

ive seen similar queries but i was wondering if they ever follow through with the threat of bailiffs.

 

the thing is i cannot afford to pay 70 pounds for a 10 pound coat which was not damadged at all.

 

thank you for any help

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I've moved your thread to the shoplifting forum and left you a link to follow from General Retail. People should be along to advise you later.

 

I'm going to send you a PM [private message] shortly, please look out for it.

you never heard them use the word bailiffs.

 

they said retail loss prevention

they are not bailiffs whatsoever

and have absolutely NO LEGAL POWERS

 

you simply ignore everything you receive regarding RLP.

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...

Hi and welcome to CAG

 

Let us get this clear from the off. CAG does not condone shoplifting in any form however two wrongs don't make a right and by that I mean Retail Loss Prevention.

 

You committed a crime, got caught so the store got their goods back undamaged therefore in saleable condition. With that there can be no loss incurred.

 

When RLP write to you they will state that security costs can be claimed for. Nope! Security staff wages are covered in the price the customer pays at the till so the fact that they are employed to walk the store, check CCTV, detect and deter theft, this follows that the amount RLP will claim is already factored into it which must mean that Civil Recovery is a money making scheme only.

 

No store to my knowledge has taken any court action since 2012 so it's perfect safe to ignore RLP and any other minions they may ask to contact you. Read all the letters carefully and note the language used. Could, May, Might.

 

One thing I will ask of you. Don't make a fool out of me. No more stealing and take a coat with you!

Totally agree with DX here. This mob deal by letter only until such time they run out of template letters to send. They then pass this alleged debt to a tame debt collector who 'may' say that they 'may' send someone to your door.

 

In reality, no-one will ever find out what colour your front door is. Purely scare tactics and they know it.
