    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

The correct forms are the green Part 8 form (non-money claim) and the N16A which is especially for injunctions (your suggestion of injunction form, according to info I've found, is for use in the High Court). I paid the correct fees (£150 and £65 respectively) but used the wrong forms...She accepted them and told me they'd be checked first and returned without submission if they were wrong but my cheque has been cashed so I don't know what's going on...I think I might get rather angry at them lol

Well, reading Sophie-Jane's thread, I don't think it was mentioned before that the account had to be vital to me...I was doing this for the principle of the thing and the fact that they're being unlawful...I can offer no evidence to show that it is vital because it is not my main account.

 

I don't particularly see how any account can be vital, though, because you can change accounts automatically with all direct debits etc moved across for you...

 

I have in my main claim form included the part about requesting a declaration that the relevant clause in the contract referring to fees is unlawful, which might make them sit up and listen, because I assume even if the injunction is unlawful the court still has to consider that request...

Did you have your wage paid into it?

 

Did you use it for any standing orders or direct debits?

 

Just because you can move to another account doesn't mean this one isn't vital. The first thing you need to do is prove that you need this account, what did you use it for?

Do you really need to prove that it's vital? Surely it's the principle of the thing lol if not, I can't really show that I need the account

 

I agree, the principle is that they must not get away with closing accounts when a Lawful action has been taken out against them.

 

Yes we can report them to the relevent authorities, but Would that stop them, Maybe it would take longer for the relevent authorites to act than it would to close an account.

 

Getting an injunction maybe the only solution, to Stop there act once and for all, and make the financial institutions Sit up and listen for once, And hear that Customers are saying Enough is enough, and we are not standing for bully boy tactics anymore

just thinking aloud here.

 

To be paid (wage or benfits) you need a bank account, so a bank account is vital.

 

Is your account vital?

because you can get another account with the same facilities does that mean it's not vital?

 

If your landlord tries to evict you but fails to follow the letter of the law you can get an injunction, yet you can go and rent another home.

 

If your employer tries to dismiss you but fails to follow the letter of the law you can get an injunction, yet you can get another job

 

Are you required to prove to the court that they are vital?

 

I know you can agrue that you may not be able to get the same home, in the same location, for the same rent, etc. but you can also argue that you can't get the same account with the same benefits, same overdraft level, etc.

Court Injunctions against Financial Institutions

 

They have publically stated that they will close accounts of successful claims

 

Is that Ammo enough for a Judge to decide to act in favour of court action

 

But I have not heard Publically that Nationwide would do so

ok lol all claim forms and cheque returned to me in the post this morning...They were meant to tell me which forms to use but no, it seems Reading County Court is useless...

 

Now I suppose I should decide if I can be bothered to start the claim again...

At least you got a cheque back too. The principle still stands that they should not take retaliatory action, but the question is really whether it is worth the hassle to fight it.

I've been following your thread as well, and I hope you do continue with it. I was awaiting your outcome before deciding to try and stop them from closing my account.

 

I've received the letter notifying me of account closure this morning. I think it is totally out of order that they are allowed to close your account, basically because you have complained about the service that they provide. If you complained about a member of staff say, would that qualify for account closure? Surely they can't be allowed to close your account because of this? It really gets to me all this, but I don't have the money nor time (with 2 young kids) to fight them, after reading all the hassle you've had. If it were a straightforward process, then I'd go straight into it.

Bev, you have my sympathy. Nationwide are already talking about me taking my business elsewhere, and they haven't even received my moneyclaim yet!

 

I don't know if I will have the time, money or energy to take them to court over closing my account (which they undoubtedly will). If I can manage it, I will. But I am also going to kick up a hell of a fuss about it with the financial ombudsman, the financial services authority, the office of fair trading, and anyone else who will listen to me. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

Alas, no. I had sent all the claim forms in but they turned out to be the wrong ones. Bankfodder then advised that I needed to include certain things but I wasn't confident how to do it and I was unable to do it before they closed the account, and Bankfodder said that you need to do it BEFORE the account is closed...Pity really because I really wanted to do it and was totally willing to take it all the way :(

 

Instead I'm going to complain to the Banking Code but that will be much less satisfying!
