    • 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    
    • Well naturally if you want to maintain your outrage, and retain something to bitch about, then arguing about the level of your fixed monthly DD is the way to go. You are of course perfectly free to ignore the easy solution.

    • 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,

 

I recently took over running a not-for profit arts organisiation. They have been running for over 20 years beofer this and have had a bank account for about 15 years, presumably always with Yorkshire Bank, although I can't be sure of this.

THe account we had set up was a 'Club' account. These seem to be some archaic type of account which you wouldn't be able to get if you applied now, they would direct you to a banking account. I was advised by someone in the arts to keep the account, because I don't get charged any fees for running it, but it is inefficient, comes with no card faciltites and no online banking, and the staff at Yorkshire Bank are the biggest load of annoying idiots I have ever met, like the Keystone Cops but without the laught value.

From the start I realised what a shoddy setup Yorkshire W**k has. They haven't changed from the days my dad had a business account with them and charged him for seemingly, every action he took, from cashing a cheque to even having the account. It took me 6 months to get them to move the signitories on the account from the old accountant, then every time I go in the branch they insist they have lost the mandate I signed (twice!!). And surprise surprise, the statements still get delivered to my house with the old guy's name on them, even though he is no longer a signatory!

MY CLAIM

Anyway, aside from all this, the other week, due to some poor accounting by myself (hands up) 2 cheques I had put through bounced.

At the time I had £98 credit in the account. Cheque number 1 for £102 bounced. So it was £4 short, but Yorkshire W**kers gleefully swallowed £38 of the account balance then refused the cheque.

A second cheque for £55 was bounced, even though the funds were there to pay it, presumably just because it had gone through on the same day as the other cheque. £38 charge.

the first £102 cheque was automatically represented a week later, and because I had no funds to put into the account, bounced again. £38 charge.

Then strangely, a cheque for £44 was paid, but the bank sorted me out an 'unrrangaed overdraft fee' for £24. This left the account apporximately £76 in debt, and charged interest for the privilige.

I have fired off a standard first request letter, because I sort of know what to do as I'm claiming for my personal account over on the Natwest forum.

I'm waiting for thier response (if there is one) But I could do with some advice, regarding where I stand with a 'Club' account. Can this be classed as the same as a sole trader account?

I wouldn't have thought so. I would have thought this was more to do with the not for profit thing. Is your organisation a charity? YB are notoriously hard to claim from, so you might be better pleading to their better instincts for your hard won funds which are provided for your organisation and not the bank. Might be better to miss off the bit about your funds not being for the bank, LOL, but I hope you get the gist.
