    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 everyone. Does anyone have an opinion on MBNA's 'transfer fee'? They charged me 45.00 to transfer 1,500 in to my current account (to stop me going over the overdraft!)

Abbey - 547.00 settled in full.

Second claim: £204 WON.

Barclaycard - 142.88 incl interest due WON BY DEFAULT as they didn't even bother entering a defence. Barclaycard paid up £184.88.

 

MBNA - Concluded £634.31

Capital One Concluded £148

Kinda disappointed I've no more banks to go after now...

I have discovered all 3 MBNA cards I have had over the last 6 years, and am about to write to ask for the statements. Do they need the DPA fee?

 

Thanks all

send the £10 to them so they cannot delay matters but in most instances they return it to you anyway. Make sure you send it to the advocates office to avoid any delay and make it perfectly clear this is not a payment on your account. Some companies have credited accounts with the £10 !

Thanks Surreyscouse. I was reading your earlier thread with great interest! I hope it all comes to it's natural conclusion (ie - you get YOUR money back!) very soon. Did you have to pay them 10.00 DPA fee to see the statements they took SO long to send you?

nah, didn't pay a penny, but then I had already agreed that with Stuart Johnson before I even asked for them.

 

Point to note, I have actually received all of my charges back, I'm just digging my heels in to make their life difficult for all the grief they have caused me !

could I possibly point you to the scales at the top ?

 

Any other queries then give me a shout. Oh, address your letter to Michael Rhodes, he is the CEO of MBNA so it will go straight to his department, the advocates office to deal with.

Hi all.

 

I sent the DPA letter on 8th June by recorded delivery. I have heard nothing from them at all yet - not even an acknowledgement. Is this normal for MBNA?

 

Will keep you all updated with progress. Great to read all your tales! Go Get Em!!:-D

Just sit tight. I personally wouldn't chase them. Wait for the 40 days and if nothing turns up then inform the information commissioner as that would be a clear breach of DPA. On day 41 drop mbna a line letting them know you expect them to pay for your costs in dealing with their breach of DPA, i.e. cost of phone calls, letters etc.

Right. This bunch have replied.. BUT...:

"As requested, we have enclosed copies of your statement information (I actually asked for a schedule of the charges and fees that have been levied from my account, for the last 6 years under the provision of the Data Protection Act 1998.). They go on to say that if this information is not sufficient, I should make a full subject access request under DPA and complete their form and send £10... er.. I DID!

 

My letter was clearly headed Subject Data Access request, and I did enclose the £10 fee!

 

Also, all the charges they have listed relates to only 1 card (I had 3). Could be conincidence, and there may have been no charges on the others, but I doubt it.

 

Any suggestions of what I should do next?

I have written the following letter. Could someone please check it before it goes..? Thanks

 

I write in reference to your letter dated 7th July.

 

I am most surprised at the contents, and enclose a copy of my original letter (which was sent by recorded delivery), as it is clear you have mis-interpreted it for the following reasons:

 

• You say that I requested copies of statement information. I did not. My request was quite clearly a Subject Access Request (Data Protection Act 1998).

 

• You enclosed copies of my statement information. This is not what I asked for. I specifically asked for “a schedule of the charges and fees that have been levied from my account, for the last 6 years under the provision of the Data Protection Act 1998.”

 

• You ask me to enclose a cheque for £10. I enclosed this with my last letter.

 

• I note that you only list details of card number xxxxxxxxxxx. I quite clearly requested information also from card numbers xxxxxxxxxxx and xxxxxxxxxxx.

 

For the benefit of your records, I have completed the form you enclosed with your letter (minus the £10 fee, as you have already received this), and have also enclosed a photocopy of my drivers licence.

 

In my previous letter to you, I wrongly stated that, under the Data Protection Act, you have 40 working days in which to provide me with the information I requested. As you are well aware, the timescale is actually 40 calendar days.

 

To be clear, the information I requested is due by 18th July 2006, and should there be any further attempts to delay compliance, I will be left with no alternative but to commence a County Court action under section 7, and section 15(2) of the Data Protection Act 1998, and in due course, escalate this matter into an official complaint to the Information Commissioner and the FSA.

Personally if this is on a credit card i would give them a ring and ask them to send you the list of fees and to calculate the interest incured on the fees. You sould be polite when speaking to them and you will get the list of fees and interest in around 2 - 3 days after the phone call.

 

Also you have a Private Message

She did ask if a 'list of the charges' would suffice. I know I did make a DPA SAR request, but I just said that yes, that would do (same information), so long as it was within my timeframe (ie - the next 5 days). She assured me it would be...
