    • Notice how Kev goes about his scam.  In Kahunaburger's case they left the car park well before the time shown on the ticket they had purchased.  But because Kev added on the time taken to look for a parking spot and queue to pay/try to get an internet signal he still sent them an invoice. So If you had left before the Justpark message, say at 3:55, Kev would still have managed to turn that into a stay of 4:06 and thus an overstay and an invoice. Unfortunately for Kev, judges have ruled against his reasoning.  Have a read of this famous case  http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-for-space-is-not-parking.html  
    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • 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 to everyone on this wonderful website. :p

I thought I would share with you all how my claim is going against the Halifax bank for just over £2k of charges that have been levied against me in the last 6 months (some charges levied because there was no funds for them to take a previous charge.. grrrr)

 

I went ahead this week with the request for disclosure uner the Data Protection Act for my charges, took the letter plus ID into the branch as requested, had it copied and stamped and paid the required fee... so far ok.

 

Went to use a cash point to withdraw £10 today (Saturday) to get a message saying available funding, £0, and to discuss my account with the branch.

Went into the branch in Aldershot, gave my details, and was politely informed as I was one of the people that was undertaking action against the bank, that my business was no longer wanted and my accounts have been frozen.

Upon asking for the cash that was in the account at the time of freezing, having just got paid; I was told to ring head office on a week day to discuss the moving of my account to another bank...

 

How can the bank treat its customers in this way???

I have been with the Halifax bank now for 19 years, even know most of the staff by name, yet a decision has been made on high to remove me from their customer base before I have even made any action, apart from the Data Protection Act letter.

 

I've now started the opening of another account with another bank and the tedious task of moving all my day to day banking, informing creditors and other institutes and cancelling DD's to ensure I can continue to live.

 

I don't have any polite words for the way the Halifax treats its customers, so I wont say any, but I look forwards to hearing back from them soon as to my case.

 

Take care everyone and hope every single person here gets every single penny the banks have taken, the more that do it, the better.

 

Yours

David.

 

 

Addend:

I have called the Halifax customer support team today (2nd July), to be informed they do not work on a Sunday; however the lady I spoke too has said that the reason for the freeze is to do with the way I have managed my account and nothing to do with any action I am taking against them; and therefore the branch colleague was wrong to imply that it was.

 

However, she has agreed that once a 'move' request from my new account with another bank has been recieved, all my DD's, SO's and bill payment details will be sent and any money in my account that is left after paying my overdraft will be transfered electronically.

 

It seems a little too co-incidental to myself that the bank should freeze me shortly after recieving a standard form letter for data, but Halifax are addament that it was purely down to my mis-administration and the fact that I have been over my overdraft more then 50% of this year (which is 100% to do with their own charges)

 

My new account with the Natwest should be ready Tuesday, and I have given them permission to do the move for me, so now I wait with baited breath to the Halifax's news, only 38 Days left for them... hehe.... :p

I thought that they had to give you 30 days notice unless specific fraud / money laundering type activity was suspected. I can't see how they can legally block access to YOUR money that they are holding.

HI, its starting to get a bit silly for me....

 

So far the Halifax bank have suspended my account (they are refusing to call it a freeze now) and are allowing only essential services such as rent to be processed, denying everything else and charging for them...

 

 

Got the reply to the data protection act letter today, along with statments going back to 16th Jan 2006...... :shock: Im sure i have been with them for about

19 years..

 

Rang them up on the customer call number... cant talk to anyone directly but i can dictate an email for them to send to the branch requesting the rest of the information... but whilst looking, customer service lady informs me the account only goes back to 16th Jan 2006 and that was the first statement date she has.

 

:o~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~:eek:

 

Have been informed that all she can do now is email the branch manager and he can call me to discuss this, but cant promise when..

 

ARGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Where do I go from here? Is there another letter I should send about this??

 

Please help.....
