    • Also I see that you are doing a lot of this on the telephone – and without any written confirmation. This is a big mistake. You need to start taking this matter seriously and so everything should go in writing. If you have telephone calls then they should normally be recorded. Read our customer services guide. You should make notes about every telephone call and then you should send an email to your telephone correspondence confirming what they have said or what they have agreed. It is important that you keep detailed paper trails here. Of course we may be jumping the gun and maybe big motoring world will step up to the mark – but I'm afraid that they have a lousy reputation has you have seen and so you need to start practising survival techniques and protecting yourself. You say for instance in your letter of rejection that the mechanic told you on the telephone that the gearbox needed replacing. Do you have any other evidence of this conversation? This is going to sound a bit harsh – but other people will be visiting this thread as well for their own purposes. You conducted their research about this company before you bought the vehicle. You now are fully aware that this is a company which can be very difficult to deal with and causes a lot of problems for many of their customers and yet you are still taking a telephone/verbal approach. Do I need to say any more? Also one of the documents you put up is an email exchange but it is not clear who is writing to who or what dates. If you showed this email to somebody in a pub they would be asking lots of questions about who sent the first message, who sent the second message, what dates were they sent et cetera.

    • 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.

they all seem to do this. sounds like its against e-trading regs to me but only way to really know is to try and pay and see if it rejects the name and address etc. probably the best way to check is to get someone who hasn't had a PPC invoice and who is about to cancel a credit card to try to make a payment (say a pound or two). use ridiculous name and address information and an obviously bogus invoice number. Am loathe to suggest anyone should give them a penny but it would have to be shown that the required validation was not being done. Take screen shots/prints/use 'Save As' on every page and capture all the browser traffic in a proxy. have an independent witness observe. and then cancel the credit card immediately afterwards (why would anyone who knows how PPC operate give them credit card details). If it accepts payment then I think they can be hauled over the coals on e-trading regs.

 

 

I would sound a note of caution wrt to cancelling a credit card. I believed I cancelled a credit card only for a transaction to appear on it. In my case is was a continous authority, which I had forgotten to ask to be cancelled. (You as the card holder can't cancel a credit card transaction or continous authority, this has can only be done by the company taking the payment or the credit card company). Its better to think of it as the account lying dormant. If a transaction hits the account it will awaken it and a statement will come to you for payment.

Also, what is interesting is that if you go to their website and click the 'pay now' button, they ask for a ticket number. If you enter say '666' and a value say £135, irrelevant of your ticket number and PCN, they will take your money anyway. They make no attempt to check you either (A) owe them anything or (B) what value the charge is. They simply let you pay anything. (EDIT - I did not actually hit the final submit button, but that would still not ahve checked the ticket number or PCN).

 

This should be on watchdog or rouge traders.

 

This is not uncommon at all and has appeared in another thread in this forum. In the DCA forum this practice has been noted too with some Caggers actually phoning up a DCA/using thier website to see if they would try to take money from a made up account number. No prizes for guessing what they uncovered :mad:

Bury Times have run an article this week, see link. The best bit is where the car park company accept that their signs need to be made clearer. Surely now Trading Standards should insist they return all money that has been paid to date. The article certianly means we will not be making contact.

Hi All,

 

I got a ticket at Superbowl in Leigh also. My criminal barrister friend who has got herself off several parking tickets as well as her clients has advised that this company has no legal right to issue tickets or demand money. She recommends NOT contacting them at all and says that they will hound victims with threatening letters, but do not respond to any of them.

 

Here is an excerpt from the email she sent to me.

'If you are prepared to brazen it out and NOT respond to them in any way whatsoever (ie so they don’t even know whether you ever received the letters) it is almost certain that they will not take it any further. They will try it on and try and frighten you into paying though, once they have the address from the DVLA. But they do not have the same powers as a council traffic warden. You haven’t committed any traffic offence. Any dispute with a private parking firm is contractual only. They can’t send in the bailiffs for example, unless they take you to court (unlikely), they win the court case (extremely unlikely) and then you don’t pay whatever costs etc the COURT imposes. (So if anyone turns up at your door demanding payment for this, they are debt collectors – they might as well be collecting for the Salvation Army as they have no legal rights whatsoever, although they may well pretend they are bailiffs (who can only act on the orders of a court) in which case you can say you’ll call the police and report them for impersonating a court official – not a real offence, but it should do the trick.) They can’t ‘fine’ you in legal terms. They can only go to court, under contract law, to reclaim any money they have LOST as a result of you parking on their land – and they can only do that if there is a valid contract in place first. '

 

Hope this helps you all. Please keep posting on how you are going on with thisBy the way what do you mean by 'PPC'?

Thanks...go get 'em

Yesterday my car was ticketed at Superbowl Leigh.

 

Seems I am not alone!

 

I got wise quick through this forum and the pepipoo site and will of course ignore any demands.

 

The "ticket" wasnt even signed by the so called attendant who I suspect was skulking around waiting for such opportunities. Nor was there any attendant number recorded. Just the initials.

 

Superbowl went out of business a while ago. Ive no idea who owns the car park as there is no mention of CPM acting as an agent for anyone. The ticket is extremley suspect as it asks for payment and for the slip to be returned with it. The capark is hardly ever used. I wonder if the owners are aware that CPM are doing this on their land?

if you want to stop this [problem] ....keep hittting the MP !!!!!!!!

 

the "tickets" they give out are governed by contractual law..

so in order to "enforce" the ticket.... they have to take you to court

and produce the evidence of a contract to issue tickets on that land

 

in order to get you to court they have to set "Rossendales" at you, then

set a solicitor at you with paper, then file the papers at court.

 

so at some point you will get disclosure of the evidence

 

AT EVERY POINT IT COST'S THEM TO CHASE YOU

now do the math's on collecting an £80 ticket

 

they are just bully's and some people pay

if they do have a vaild agreement to ticket on that land, pay the ticket the day before your due in court

Beck - is that an answer to my post?

 

Lamma will do if I can find out who they are.

 

the Land Registry, it costs a couple of pounds. It may show the owner of the mortgage which means a bit more digging. When its a retail park council minutes may show it and there may be a 'site office' that deal with property rentals.

Hi guys, I googled 'Rossendales Collect Ltd' and found your interesting thread on them. I received a 'parking charge notice' fixed to my car this week.

I was going to appeal anyway, as I have the 'pay and display' ticket in my posession.

Now when I got it I have to say I panicked a little, I've never received a parking ticket before - £40 within 10 days or else it's £80 ! Now, since I have read up on Private Parking 'Management' I'm quite disgusted.

Should I appeal?

Any advice, before I go ahead, would be greatly appreciated!

:-)

Any appeal will be a complete and total waste of time. save the stamp and don't bother.

 

REALLY? Eeeeee I can't believe these people. Are you saying it would be a waste of time as I don't have a leg to stand on (as I wasn't displaying) or because of the fact they are so unreasonable?:eek:

no they dont have a hope in getting paid its a [problem] , its not a parking ticket , its a invoice , they are saying you agreed to their T&C by parking , their problem is proving you agreed and they have the right to claim off you , there are 3 words you should follow IGNORE , IGNORE , IGNORE any toot that the send you about they will take you to Court , it always "WE MAY" do this do that , scream and stamp their feet if you dont pay etc etc

the will get the regg'ed keepers from the DVLA, and send all sorts of letters, inc saying they are solicitors, they may do this or that , they are preparing court documents , you have 7 days to pay, then its the final warning , the final final warning , then the final final warning , by now you should get the gist of it

 

 

rules on PRIVATE PARKING Co, NEVER CONFUSE with Legit from Councils and Police though

 

 

rule 1) IGNORE

 

rule 2) IGNORE

 

rule 3) GOT TO RULE 1

I received a ticket off Carpark Management UK Ltd in King Street, Blackburn last week. This was in the car park of a company that has closed down and where a number of other cars were parked, none of whom were displaying any type of parking permit.

 

It appears to me that they have just slapped a random ticket on my car, in the hope that I would just pay it, which was probably the case until I spotted this forum.

 

Now, thanks to all the advice posted on here, they can go and whistle for it :)
