    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.
    • Hi and thanks It looks like they ticked all the boxes to me but I'll try and upload the notice. I was wondering if a witness to late delivery might be considered proof - I'm assuming they posted it as normal but Royal Mail stuffed up delivery. If not then they're really saying it just has to be posted within 12 days of the incident, regardless of when it is received. Annoying! edit ok thanks Honeybee here's my 2nd (actually 3rd) attempt at anonymising, copying and uploading the notice! Sorry about the state of it - I sat on it while distracted by my dog 🙃 pcn front.pdf pcn back page.pdf
    • ROFL - dont get upset just because someone (quite a lot of someones) dont want smart meters - well unless you get paid for it .. in which case ...   I assume you haven't been with Octopus long enough to be on one of the very long fixed price tariffs they offered before the prices went bonkers .. and that you dont use your electricity in the evening/lunch time if you think the 'agile type tariffs are good value .. let alone worth installing a smart meter for - high price a good disincentive for an evening cuppa eh? Let alone all your computer/tv etc time in the peak price evening or lunch time. - and boy do those peak prices instantly hammer your bill when those Russian and middle eastern issues kick off.   I would only have considered a smart meter if solar panels had been an option for me - but roof is oriented completely the wrong way. Oh - and My opinion hasn't changed since the smart meter trials 40 years ago, because neither have the issues (well not enough) but I'm happy for you. Be happy for me.
    • Hi. I'm afraid I've had to hide your post with the pdf files to keep this anonymous for you. You've left the PCN reference number and your car reg showing. Could you edit that and repost please? HB

    • 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 to you all

 

I have been reading and digging out numerous threads on RBS and how I can request for a overdraft charge sheet from years back. I was wondering what exactly should be the wording of the letter and what I should be looking out for in the details of the sheets they send me, this is regarding what I can and can't claim back.

 

Many thanks.

Many thanks for your response DX.

 

Does this May 25th has anything to do with the General Data Protection Regulation coming into full force from the EU.

 

Also, a bit of a silly question

but, what is this post 3 referred to in the SAR templates that is deemed imperative to be read before using any of the SAR guides?

Right, I'd contact them first week of June, and then come back with all the info I can get from there to take things further. This is an amazing site and really love what you guys have done here, I wish I knew half of the things I've binge read here in the last 72 hours, would have saved me tonnes of trouble and other ugly financial/consumer dealings from the past. Cheers.

Hi DX,

I'm back again with more questions/queries. Over the last five, six years I've had the following financial transactions/ packages;

 

Everyday Loans (payday)

Very Credit Card

Capital One Credit card

RBS current account

 

Close Military Brothers car finance/loan

 

Very online/catalogue account

 

 

I'm very much interested in sending SAR out to all of them, just to see what I can find and or come up with. Is it ok to use the generic SAR template and throw in a request for any PPI's as well, are they compelled to especially release information about the PPI bit.

 

The last account I closed was Closed Military Brothers, I voluntarily terminated the agreement after paying a little over half of it. I forked out nearly 400 GBP to serbice the car, MOT, as well as two brand new tyres out of courtesy, I still have the receipts for it all. I was made to pay for a Gap insurance addon I had on the agreement before it could terminate, I asked for receipt which they claimed was not possible as they don't issue receipt for the gap insurance payments so they fobbed me off on that one.

 

Two months down the line these people came back telling me I owed them 2 months worth of late payment/arrears because the car was in my possession. This situation came about as a result of them not being able to find a car auctioning company on time to come take the vehicle rght after the agreement ended. And twice they sent someone out to my address without informong me. They were very adamant that I owed them till I threatened to escalate the issue to the FOS/FTA as my wife was getting stressed out by their barrage of phone calls and letters to my address.

 

They suddenly dropped the case and also deliberately refused to send me a copy of the agreement affer I had explicityly asked for it, thing is, I do not have the original agreement and feel there's something I might have missed and which they either dont want coming out or me discussing it.

 

Anyleads on how to go about this one specifically or I should just go ahead and SAR them as well after 25th May and take it from there?

 

Find attached as screenshot of the last post from them
