    • Hello dx100uk, After months of waiting for a response I finally got a reply and I must say it was the worst 4 months of my life the - fear of the unknown. So, they wrote back and said I was in the wrong BUT on this occasion they  would not take action but keep me on file for the next 12 months. It. was the biggest relief of my life a massive weight lifted -  I would like to thank you and the team for all your support
    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • 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.

Royal mail is currently having issues with its tracking system. I have complained and here is there response.

 

Dear The GodMother

 

Thank you for your email regarding the Signed For items you recently

posted.

 

Unfortunately we currently have a major IT issue with Royal Mail Tracked

scanned items being recorded on Scanners, but NOT flowing through to the

Tracking Web site and Tracking Enquiry Intranet site. This situation has

been occurring intermittently and our IT supplier, CSC, is investigating

the issue urgently.

 

This means that the tracking of your despatches though our network may not

be showing, even when delivery has taken place.

 

We understand the full importance of this issue to you and we are treating

it as a top priority. Please accept our apologies.

 

With regards

 

Carol Wilson

Receipt said it would be there for 1.00.pm, so went online to check at 1.05pm. To my surprise it said it was delivered. After speaking to my dad, he said it was there about 9.00am.

 

Thumbs up to RM from me I'm afraid.

 

p.s. It also says on the web that the minimum charge for next day special delivery is £10.30, that is for items up to 100g. My parcel was 360g and they only charged me £5.05. :-D

there is no problem with them finding out if the item has been delivered what the problem is is gaining the signature as that is a issue for the comps. All my packages have been saying they are delivered but non have a signature.

 

Yes u can get a refund but you need to wait 15 days after delivery for Recorded delivery and depending on the service u chose and what your guarenteed delivery date is with special but u can get a refund with this service.

 

I have been told if any dobt please contact the RM customer services line as they will be able to personally advise you more.

You will find that if you put any of these numbers into the link below, you will be given alternative numbers. For instance:- 0906 302 222. You can actually dial 08457 111222. It gets you through to the same place for 10p per min instead of 50p. Also, Most 0845 numbers you put in will be replaced with an 01 or 02 landline number. Give it a try. It works when you are trying to contact your Bank, Gas/Electricity company. In fact it will nearly always give you a landline number instead of having to pay top prices to be stuck on the phone for hours.;)

sometimes you even get 0800 numbers. The companies hate this site. We love it.

We checked out items sent by recorded delivery, one was to Kilmarnock in Scotland and the other was to the Town next door to us. The Kilmarnock one was delivered the next day as, paid for, however, the one to the town next door has go walkies.

 

So we called royal mail up, now I am sure she was trying to get as many gags in as possible or trying to get fired.

 

Royal Mail can't keep track of its Postmen never mind the post.

 

Royal mail tries to Deliver first class post the next day, however the next day to what no one knows.

 

Royal Mail handle 50 Million items a day however how many millions are lost and broken, I wouldn't like to guess.

 

So when will my next day delivery be delivered? You can't tell, you can't mess around with the forces of Delivery.

 

At this stage I gave up.

 

So if you posted something to Scotland or other side of the UK great it will be there tomoz, if its the next town, you better take it yourself. My claim for lost items will be going in as my gf DOB Certificate was in it and details about me.

I posted a parcel on 09/01/09 at 9-25am it is now 20/01/09 the tracking system tells me it is out for delivery today,but it told me that yesterday, I have e-mailed twice without a response and phoned the 0845 number from the website, this is an automated message system that also told me parcel out for delivery today.

I need to talk to a person and find out where my important parcel is, can anyone supply with a phone number that gets me through to a real person. This experience with royal mail has left me with no confidence whatsoever. This is now 11 days and the parcel not arrived

Any help I can get guys for my issue would be great, I posted a 240 x 180 jiffy last tuesday 31/06/11 with a single stick of faulty ram inside and its still apparently not arrived at its destination by today 07/06/11 . I'm fed up with being given the runaround by the computer system and the automated service through their phones so I'm just wondering if I can get a human anywhere to help because it seems impossible to me that this company should be allowed to say sorry we can't track post even tho we provide tracking numbers or that our system can't track the mail even though its being checked through the system at a myriad of different points even more so when you consider my parcel would have to have been handled by humans as it was too big to be handled mechanically :( I am one not impressed user of royal mails services I have lost countless items over the years through these people but this year is taking the biscuit 4 items already whether recorded or first class have been lost by them with no real response on their part. pls any advice would be welcome
