    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

Myself & three friends of mine have had a great idea. These three people over the coming months are to try and obtain employment within 3 seperate DCA. We will then get to see what happens from the other side. 2 of my friends are absolute geniuses when it comes to IT systems. The other one is well up on Company records/account procedures. All three should not find it too difficult to gain employment. None of these 3 post to this or any other debt board, i will be the co ordinator (COS I'VE GOT THE BIG DEBTS and i need time to work on them) for all the info that is "whisleblown" out in due course. (we might even make it into a Michael More/ Channel 4 type expose, hell if its that good, we might even.....who knows.)

 

We are all prepaid to give up a few months of our time to find out what really goes on. Financially it wont matter if any/all loose their DCA jobs (doubt if they pay much) and we would only plan on being in there for the shortish term. If we get this right it will be full time for me, collating all the info. I am prepaid for that

 

Hows about that then!

I think it is an excellent idea, bear in mind that the salaries for DCA collectors are around £13,000 - £18,000 per annum, and are HEAVILY targetted to achieve a bonus - go for it and give it the hidden camera treatment, be warned to get the job you may be credit checked !!!

No mention of working at a DCA would ever be on my friends CV in the future. They would all pass credit checks no worries, i on the other hand might not !!!:shock: . As for the salaries, no one ever said this was being done for money.

 

I guess like most industries DCA can distance themselves from ex employees saying stuff like " well thats how WE USED to do thing etc" which we all know from these boards isnt true so it would be nice to see it live , as it happens, in real time

My daughter was desperate to change jobs a year ago, and a friend of hers said she could get her a job with a DCA. She was tempted, but decided not to when I told her that if people asked, I'd say she'd become a prostitute, that would be less embarassing. :-D

At least a Prostitute provides a legitimate service, they don't insessantly bombard their clients with unwanted telephone calls or mail threatening everything from disembowelment to selling your 'granny' to the white slave trade! (Second thoughts...the S&M specialists may):D :D

I must be on the wrong side of town......you'll need to give me some numbers :cool:

 

No problem paying the girls. Plenty of interest and no problem getting a rise. This is after the watershed isn't it??

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

 

Blimey it works....:-)

Going way off topic now but imagine someone didn't pay a prozzie and they passed it to a debt collector. Could make for some interesting phone calls and letters :D
