    • 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 !!!  🖕
    • 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.

Good question mate! :)

They wouldnt let me do that after I spoke to their representative.

 

So.. I've got to make another claim seeing as how barclays basically wont accept the fact that I've already won them once when I spoke to them on the phone- so it seems I've got to submit another claim to the courts it seems.

 

I think I will be claiming forever at this rate- they just dont seem to learn.

 

 

Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!

The gripes I have with this site in particular is the fact that no-one yet it seems has questioned why we should all pay 5% of our winnings when this site has done none of the donkey work except provide a few letters

I wasn't going to rise to this bait.

 

My comments I now post relate to me and I can't speak for others.

 

I have spent hours, days, weeks, months. I take offense.

 

I will not look at this thread again.

I dont think it is getting ridiculous to be honest- just someone asking a site owner a few questions about this site.

 

Its nothing personal and I dont bear people and the site any ill feelings on here.

 

If this thread does get shut, what will you people be proving by that?

I think a lot of people might find it questionable if this thread does get shut down to be honest if they have a read through what I've put- I've not come for a slanging match.. I just ask plain and simple questions.

 

That is all.

 

And I wont be crawling into my corner anytime soon also :D

 

I agree with Vamp. There are too many people who need help on this site to waste time massaging the ego of someone like you.

 

I'm glad you got your money back (if indeed you did) and, if you feel you want to be constructive, then hang around and help. If you don't then go away.

When I visit this site, i really dont want to read through thousands of lines of junk before I see any useful information.

 

DarkKnight you really should spend your time putting your energy to some more constructive use, rather than trying (too hard) to justify yourself.

 

You are not helping, in fact you are a time waster actually.

 

Maybe if you used the 'magic search button' that digs through all the junk threads you will find the information quicker - apparently.

 

I am using my energy in helping people- dont worry about that, the count is 11 people I've helped today so far via PM and email.. so I am being constructive and also I am NOT and never will be trying to justify myself on here- I dont need to.

 

Also: the comment about being a time waster is quite laughable really- seeing as how I am actively helping people out and all you can do is try and stir up and argument again. :roll:

 

So who is wasting who's time exactly?

What amazes you so much Phil?

 

The way that barclays wouldnt accept a note on my account saying all future charges were to be reversed??

 

It doesnt really bother me to be honest- I'll just make another claim for the new charges if any come up, I'll call them first naturally to see if they want to comply with my wises- the usual crap I get is that the charges are lawfull.. so its back to the claim I go.

I have NOT come on here to offend anyone, how many times do I need to say this.

If people's ego's are so fragile that when someone comes on asking a few questions of this site and points out some flaws that people have to take it this way- they seriously need to take a good look at themselves in the mirror.

 

I am glad, and I know you have helped people on the forum- you may have put in all the time in the world and I congratulate you for it, however, if you think for one second that I will drop £200 into this sites donation box just because a used a few templates.. and got some, and to be fair, 2 useless posts from bankfodder and a new thread popped up sarcastically I might add going off about people mistakes- NOBODY on this site has earned my £200- quite frankly, I would donate £10 to the site, because thats how much I would value the help I was given at.

 

Again, Im not here to cause trouble- however if I do see problems on the site, dont think for one second I wont brush over them like a lot of you seem to have done.

 

Also: for a mod *no offence* why are you hear having a go at me when you should be out there helping people out??

Oh looky- another mod.

I suggest, no offence again, why not help other people rather than try and stab me in the back?

 

If you dont like what I'm putting - dont post on the thread.. simple as that.

 

I have personally helped 11 people today- how many have you helped can I ask, the same to you vamp?

 

I dont need my ego massaging - its fine as it is as well thankyou.

Also- no I wont be going away.. but thanks for trying anyway!

This guy is a f***ing wind up merchant. He has so p****d me off! Listen DK nobody is chasing you for any donation of any amount so why don't just p**s off and enjoy your money and stop getting on peoples T*ts.

I work as a volunteer for a small charity as a fundrasier. I see how much comes in but i also see how much goes out. If the volunteers on this site need money for laptops, office space etc they bloody desrve and are absolutely entitled to it. Thats not saying they do need the afore mentioned but if they do so what?

 

Spend your charges on a flight to Africa volunteering oversees, (one way ticket) instead of bragging about your honeymoon or whatever and see how frustrating volunteering can be....especially with idiots like you berating what they do.

Locking would not be soon enough, as the ensuing posts do nothing for the aims of the site.

In refection I am certain 99.9% of the members here would not wish to get into any debate that detracts so wildly from these aims,whilst at the same time questioning the merits of the site.........which has probably been and continues to be the most succesfull in its purpose of assisting people to get their charges back.

The comments of many claimants who have achieved this should be remembered......thats something that cannot be ignored when the integrity of the site,its admin and its founders is being questioned.

Aarrrgh, you just don't get it do you?

 

This is a COMMUNITY and as such we are all here to help and support each other. By consistently running down this site, I personally don't see that as being a constructive member. Okay, so you are assisting people via pm and email. But what about the others who have not happened upon this thread? By posting advice on threads here, you are not only helping that individual, but all those who read the boards looking for the answers to their questions both now and in the future.

 

You keep reiterating the point that you are not going to donate £200 as you don't feel the site deserves it. Well obviously that is your perogative and no one is going to force you to donate at all, but the tone of your posts and the language used is to be quite frank rude, insulting and down right unneccessary. Many people have given up a lot of time and energy to help set up and keep running this site. People like Bankfodder, MJanet, Vampiress, Bookworm, Dave, Lueeze etc etc (sorry to all those I've forgotten!). They are also not just checking threads and answering queries, but writing complex letters, putting together spreadsheets, updating this site, looking into technical and legal matters, all for the benefit of us rabble. Also those like myself, who will willingly offer advice or support if I think I can and know the answer. Some of us may not live on this site and spend all our waking hours reading the threads, but we do it of our own free will, because we have got something out of this site and want to put a little back. I personally go missing fairly frequently but like to come back as and when to post on both my own and others threads.

 

Looking at both your previous posts with this userid and your alterego, not once have you posted on someone elses thread offering advice even regarding the stages that you yourself have said you were totally au fait with. So how on earth can you then come on here and say you had no (or at least very little) help when you needed it? People do what they can and sometimes threads will be missed. People only have a finite amount of time and I can only assume that you do not have any children as if/when you do you will find that what time you once had soon evaporates.

 

Just one more point before I go to bed, your £200 that you keep banging on about that you seem to think would run this site for a month. Do you really know that little about how this sort of thing operates? Even someone as technophobic as me realises that it would cost more than that. I showed my OH (who works in IT) your posts on that issue and his face was a picture. Do some research and find out quite how much it costs to host a site of this size, bandwidth, software, software licensing, insurances, hardware, any copyrights, reference materials etc etc. Also, to seriously suggest that this site generates £3000 per day in donations and book sales? If so, you are sadly deluded. It would be fab if it did, then the people working so hard for us all could maybe look at employing some paid staff, but from what I have seen it doesn't.

 

Rant over, apologies to those who (and I agree) said not to feed the troll, but I have been following this thread since yesterday and have got increasingly worked up and frustrated with it until my fingers just ran away with themselves!

Don't forget to contribute to the CAG. Without them we would probably still be drafting our prelim letters.

Oh, let me see, how many people have I helped tonight. Erm, about 45,000.

 

What I enjoy most here is the support I see from everyone else posting here. Thankyou everyone, your comments are most welcome and appreciated.

 

Dk, I understand your frustrations. Occasionally one or two people do get overlooked and I'm glad you were able to use my spreadsheets. If you would like to help, I'm struggling to find the contractual interest rates for all different types of current accounts with all the different banks over the last six years in order to create my latest spreadsheet. I'd appreciate some assistance if you have the time.

 

Many thanks.

 

And I'm posting in this thread in my spare time.

 

If you have anymore questions for me personally, can you please PM me. Thanks.

Dark Knight- I wasn't going to ask questions but as everyone still is then I thought I would ask. It's a good thing that you want to help people on this site but surely you realise it is a "work in progress", that is that no one on here are experts on every single topic and as more people join who may have expertise one way or another,the knowledge base grows. You did sign a confidentiality clause which even if it was on a scrap of paper and you were under no duress to sign is leagally enforceable. You work in IT for Lloyds if my memory serves me correctly so you would have "insider" knowledge of their IT systems. My understanding is that all people who are contracted to banks sign agreements because you could be in an environment in which you would potentially see customer information,for exmple, if you had to go behind the scenes of a branch to sort out a hard drive. Obviously, I am making assumptions here so I could be wrong. You ask many questions of this site re finances. Have you also done this of Barclays? At the time in which you made you're claim, you mentioned that your lawyer friend stated about the Statute of limitations Act, but as you stated on this thread it wouldn't have applied anyway because you would not have had charges on them. People are challenging that and there is a good discussion on that in this site. I would suggest you read that now and ask your friend whether he considers the arguments valid(I am aware that this thread commenced after your case may have been defended).

I ask one question of your job in Lloyds. Do you know the true cost of the returning an item as it is automated? I agree with you thatyou have the right to ask questions of this site, BUT i think it is what seems to be implied ie that the site owners are creaming off any profit from donations, which has infuriated people.

Oh.......and it took me 30 seconds(actually it was 20 but I won't quibble 10 seconds!) to find the compny name and reg number from companies house. As they say on here, if you read the info on the site you can get theanswer. I did and was curious to find out how easy it was to get. I have one further question(still curious). What in your opinion is the cost to run this site in your opinion, just a rough estimate?

I will add my two pennyth for what its worth.

 

I have been reading this thread from the start and have been amazed by the arrogance and attitude of Dark Knight.

 

I do hope that he isn't sued by Barclays cos I'm pretty sure he won't get the legal advice and guidance he needs to defend himself from this forum! I would suggest that he doesn't make a donation to this site, and holds onto the money he has had returned, so that he can employ a good solicitor to defend him should that happen.

 

I also hope that anyone fool enough to ask for his help with their claims understands that he doesn't have many answers. If he struggled to deal with his own claim I doubt very much that he will have answers to anything that is 'slightly difficult'!

 

I wish you well for the future Dark Knight, but don't give up your day job!

 

Now please go away!

Sometimes I have posted questions and not had an answer and sometimes the response I have received has been fantastic. This site has also given me the opportunity to talk to people in the same boat and exchange information.

 

If it wasn't for the time and effort that this site has put into providing letters, info, spreadsheets etc I wouldnt be on my way to recovering £4k in bank charges & yes I will be donating a proportion to the site.

Has anyone considered that Barclays has been obtaining money by deception over a very long period of time ? Crime doesn't pay ? We have all been [edit] over the past thirty or forty years and we just want our money back. Would Barclays press criminal proceeding against us if the situation was reversed. This country needs to sort out the rights and wrongs into crimes rather than earnings brackets. Justice for all irrespective of your income. Funny how they tend to pick on the little guys first. "No money to spare no defence to offer" should be barclays new company motto. Lets hope the government step in and stamp on these people. The Americans had the right idea when they prosecuted the Nat West three methinks.

 

Just my opinion remember.

Thats interesting you should mention that to be honest, because I think I am EXACTLY the kind of person to be advising on a personal level, because and correct me if I'm wrong dear peeps- I have seen one person come onto the barclays section and say they have won- the rest of them I think bar that one person I've seen have signed and taken the cash.. and ran with it without helping other people.

 

They have not once come back on here and tried to help others like I have been doing over the past couple of days and the best you can come back with is 'oh your breaking your confidentiality agreement'

Incredible- really truly incredible..

 

Can I just say I was all prepared to regularly come back and offer help and I do occassionally lurk. I settled out of court *JJ v Barclays - Settled* and when I asked for my litigation to be updated all of my progress was removed from the litigation section completely, so I felt a little dismissed otherwise there would have been two people you would have seen! By the way I didn't agree to the confidentiality.

FFS, mistakes happen. Did you pm Bankfodder or whoever you had asked to update the litigation to let them know your case hadn't been added to the concluded section?

 

So because of that, you are now not going to help others in the same way that you received help? Sorry, rubbish excuse.
