    • 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,

We had an issue with Natwest which we tried solving by visiting the branch, but the advisor tried to play down their mistake and we are still in a mess.

My wife made a payment from her Natwest account to my credit card. After about two and a half months we got a DCA letter asking for the full credit card balance. ON calling back we found they receivd no money for last 2 months from my wife's account.

We did not receive any statements indicating that the money wasn't paid through. As my wife does online banking, she didn't see any bounce back. The money £30 in first month and £40 in second was taken from her account and we can see it being deducted from her account. But it wasn't paid to my credit card(Natwest again). Now, neither the bank, nor the credit card informed us. Apparently, credit card people thought that I am not gonna pay so they passed on the account to a DCA.

When we went to see Natwest, it took them 30 minutes to figure out that something has gone wrong and so payment didn't happen. Twice!!!

 

Natwest advisor tied to ask credit card guys to refund any charges and take account back from DCA, as DCA is being a big pain and demanding £110/month for a total debt of £657. BUt credit card guys can't do anything we were told. All i sensed is that the advisor tied to play down their mistake and pretended to be very helpful

Well can't you CCA the DCA? It'll take them a while to come up with the proper documentation. I would write directly to Natwest customer services (or anyone more senior if anyone knows?) because the situation is absurd. Point out the bare facts and end with something like it is unacceptable to be pursued by a debt collection agency as a result of a mistake made by Natwest.

 

There are economic factors in your favour, the person looking at the complaint costs time so the higher you take the matter the more it costs them in time and resources. I don't see how there's any way they can make this stick.

 

It is unlikely they would sell a debt to a debt collection agency so quickly anyway, they tend to have some sort of in house agency they use, this may be the case here.

 

Did you ever get to the bottom of where the funds had gone? Its just that if, for example, you had set up an standing order yourselves and put in the wrong details you could have difficulty...

 

Very unusual not to get a credit card bill, particularly for two months. I know MBNA called me once when I missed a payment.

The views I express here are mere speculation based on my experience. I am not qualified nor insured to give legal advice and any action you take will be at your own risk.

Ya , I am definitely going to CCA the DCA, more so because when I first called them to explain the situation, I was ridiculed by the DCA advisor.

 

Also, I m definitely gonna make a very strong complaint on two points:

 

1) Bank's mistake in not been able to locate 'missing' funds for two consecutive months and not been able to INFORM us in due course.

2) Bank's fault in not been able to explain the reason why it occurred and assure us it wouldn't happen again to us or to any other customer.

3) Banks' responsibility for all the consequences we have to face becaus of this.

 

Now, I am looking for a format for a letter to include all these points in a professional way. And i m gonna drop a copy to my branch on monday ad post one to their CRU.

Any volunteers to help me format it??

you also need to check with the credit reference agancies as this will have been reported to them and gone against your creditworthiness ,if so i would be demanding a senior manager and also compensation for the expense of checking with reference agancies and all calls to and from NW and the expenses traveling to and from the bank....go for it they have tarnished you ,then you want someone in a superiour position like a area manager not one of their muppets

"I was ridiculed by the DCA advisor."

 

I believe this is what they are trained to. Don't take it persobally, how can you win when logic will not work?

 

Yes get someone senior to look at it, it costs NW more but more importantly they will have the discretion to actuall do something.
