    • 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.

Hi there,

I am new to this site and I only found out how to work with this finally.

 

I have accounts with Halifax!!!!Nightmare!!! As soon as I finish this battle I definetely will avoid them forever....

 

1st credit card: opened back in 2001 and paid it off in 2005.

I have requested the statements under the DPA1998 back in December08. Within 4 weeks I received a letter to say that .."I hope that meets your requirements" and enclosed a closing statement where it shows the balance 0.00. It is a joke but I make sure that they will pay for it....

I have sent the following letter:

Halifax Card Services (data controller).....

......................... ......

KY 99 4BS

 

Re. Acc. No:

Dear Sir/madame,

 

Go to martins money site or here ...just sign in free and have a look. Very good template letters you can find around. ...........

 

I have then sent another letter saying that you did not sent me the right statements and you will enter in default with my request as well as with the statutory time limit under the Data Protection Act. If you fail to provide the statements I will inform the Information Commisioner.

A 3 weeks break since and the answer came through..."Could you call me please as I can not send you the information requested...."

I have then respond that they are already in default and as I have written in the previous letter with regards to my situation categorized in Hardship case, I would appreciate if you could send urgently the requested statements. In this letter I have mentioned that I have had this card under different surname and address for the whole period. They still did not reply.

I have then call them up and as they have accepted their mistake by not providing the right statements, after a few minutes of letting me to listen to their music....they came back and said....can you send us once more the letter in which to request the statements but do mention the Data Protection Act or that we are in default.....

I have already sent the compleated form to the Information Commissioners Office and as I do know that they take the time I am just about to go through County Court..

What do you think???? Anyone???...please I do not take advice from anyone that works for the bank or it is pro....as I know they do keep looking around....

Best luck to all of us,

DD:wink:

Hi folks advice needed please?????

 

This whole subject leaves me absolutely exhausted and I can no longer keep up with the correspondence that is being sent to me and bully boy tactics of firms masquerading as debt collectors yet are the very same bank(s).

 

In Feb. I opened a parachute account whilst applying to Halifax for bank charges refund (2nd time, 1st successful 4yrs ago) this time using Hardship route, ie long term sick (several yrs), no employment, outstanding C Tax, etc etc. Halifax refused. All money paid into my account is related to my ill health ie disability benefits and a small ill health occupational retirement pension. I transferred all my banking to parachute account (keeping Halifax open) the only way to stop the Halifax from emptying my account twice a month. Soon as done Halifax defaulted me and continue to add charges to my unused account. I have been harassed since March by Debt Collection Agencies threatening Court action if I don't pay immediately (as at today) 454.66. I have informed all who contact me the amount is disputed and refers to bank charges but the letters and threats continue, weekly. Likewise I have informed I welcome the commencement of Court Procedings but seems they prefer to harass and they just keep sending the letters. The one today is from Blair, Oliver & Scott, the postal code on their letter is local to me; that of the Bank of Scotland......surprise surprise.

 

What do I do next or what options have I got if any? These people never acknowledge my contact. Can I force them to commence the court actiont? Can I just ignore all contact hoping they will take me to court (surely they won't cos of the subject)? Apply again for bank charges refund from HBOS/Halifax under hardship, remembering that they are threatening me with this action for non-payment of charges. My request for refund of bank charges in Feb was approx £1000.00 covering a 2yr period. Never followed it through due to Stay. Can they continue to threaten court action over a prolonged period without taking it?

 

Hope someone out there can advise me what to do next.........fingers crossed.......there is.

I have three cases against Halifax bank of sctotland pending. All have been stayed, how do I get these removed?

Also has anyone had any dealings with breaches of injunctions against harassment telephone calls from Halifax/Bank of Scotand?

 

Hi I am no expert but if you have an injunction in place and they are still harassing you I would report this to the court/judge that issued the injunction.

I recently recieved a letter of the Halifax stating that instead of charging interest on my overdraft they will now charge me £1 every day I go into it. I am CONSTANTLY in my overdraft!!! :eek: Got into it a year or so ago moving house and cant seem to claw my way back out. Thisa means I will be charged £25/30 every single month. Is this allowed??

I visited Blair Oliver Scott last month as I recognised the postal code in tiny, tiny print at the bottom of their letters. The postal code is local to me and surprise surprise it led me directly to a very modern new building emblazoned with a very familiar sign, yep that's right it is the ' Halifax'.

The Halifax bank in Rosyth, (on approach to the Port), Fife, is the registered offices of Blair, Oliver, Scott who are/were owned by the Bank of Scotland before the merger that is, assume it is now part of the HBOS.

Halifax paid out in full £3054 :D :D :D
