    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • 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.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

Congrats, it was sad when Benny Hill died but I guess his memory lives on in Restons.

 

Could you give me some advice about expenses, I haven't claimed for anything and im back in court in September.

 

LITIGANT IN PERSON: COSTS - LITIGANTS IN PERSON

 

The rate I used is £9.25 per hour (I did 60 for preparation/research and typing up) and letters have a look at your agreemnt and if they charge £25 per letter bang that on for your letters (I used £12 per letter and did 14 of them)

 

Hearing time at £9.25 per hour and travelling time, then all your court fees if you made any applications.

 

it soon adds up but to no more than 2/3 rds of what legal rep could of charged.

Been away and only just seen this.

 

Absolutely brilliant!!!

 

A well deserved kick up the backside for Restons, it should also give MBNA pause for thought in employing solicitors to chase their dodgy debts.

Hmm... I wonder if it is a deliberate strategy by MBNA/Restons. Where they know they are likely to lose anyway, they employ certain solicitors cos they're cheaper & if the pre-hearing frighteners work, great for them; if they don't they get a barrister to turn up at court to contest the costs.

Lets see if restons do theor favourite trick of posting documents late ie the cheque !!!!!!

 

Hi FB

 

I was awarded £40 odd for attending a 'wasted' hearing (as restons lost their application ;)) which the Judge ordered to be paid within 21 days after their barrister argued against 14 days. Needless to say i did not receive the cheque on time.

 

However, when they finally discontinued, I waited a few days then banged in a letter to Restons mentioning my schedule of costs which had been handed in to the Judge at the aforementioned hearing.

 

I expected to have to fight for the costs, but I received a cheque from Restons (and it was a Restons cheque) for the full amount by return. It was the quickest response throughout the whole process.

 

From posting my letter to banking the cheque was about 3 days!

 

Cheers

Rob

This is just wonderful FB, a great result due to all your hard work and that done by the people you mentioned - wow what a result with costs too! Loved BRW's/Johnny Cash song on the perils of owning an MBNA card and your account of the court appearance was just so inspiring. Well done you and well done Caggers:cool:

Thanks for all your support and congrats, will post up scanned cheque from Restons, although dunno when that will be as I dont hold to much hope to actually getting it in full on time.

 

Once that clears a complaint to the SRA for them

 

Do they have to remove the DN's on credit file as a matter of course or do I have to write to them to tell them?

 

Just re read the whole thread and they have tried to constantly pulled 'fast ones' all the time. I chuckled at a few comments and remembered how I felt at the time.

 

The things I have learned throughout this episode are;

 

1 Dont get married and let the now ex-missus anywhere near your credit card.

2 When the sh!t hits the fan deal with it (I did and am thankful I did)

3 Dont bury your head

4 Listen to the advice

5 Act on it

6 Don let the sols/banks/barristers try to steam roll you (I did waver but with support we ploughed on)

7 Put the work in and 'Be Prepared'

8 You are not alone ( Caggers are invaluable)

9 Be thankful for the unamed individuals who, without wanting something in return, gave sound legal advice ( I will make a donation though)

10 that 'the legal profession' know sod all about the law !!!!

 

Thanks and my binge drinking is over for the weekend. And the first good night sleep awaits !!!!!!!

If necessary, but he hasn't even received the judgement yet

 

Hi Steven

 

Will a Judgement actually be issued in the event of discontinuance?

 

HFC/Restons discontinued in my case and all I got was a 'Notice of Discontinuance' (or something like that) from Restons, absolutely nothing from the court.

 

I phoned the court to check everything was above board in case Restons were bluffing and was told verbally that, yes, they had discontinued and the trial date had been vacated, but nothing ever followed in writing.

 

Cheers

Rob

Following my recent day in court when Restons discontinued see thread here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/170484-fairbyblue-mbna-restons-court-49.html#post2355090

 

MBNA have now sent a further DN (the 3rd) for the same account that was in court. The account is terminated as I have letter from Restons confirming it, they have tried to take me to court already over this :confused:

So how can remedy something that doesnt exist?

 

So what do i do? Cos this is an abuse of process
