That's what markets are about."   reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM       So was the chancellor not informed of this massive encompassing plan ..  or was he lying/misleading Today: Thames Water nationalisation plan could move bulk of £15bn debt to state   Thames Water nationalisation plan could move bulk of £15bn debt to state | Thames Water | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Exclusive: Under Whitehall blueprint for water company some lenders could lose up to 40% of their money

      PCM PCN Parking charge - Royale Leisure Park - W3 (London)

      By Hamz909 · Posted

      Hi everyone, appreciate your help in this. Today (18/04/2024) I received a "Parking charge - Keeper liability notice for Royale Leisure Park - W3" stating that I "parked without clearly displaying a valid PCM UK Ltd permit. The car was parked on the 8th of March 2024 at the car park for Park Royal Leisure Park in London. The letter stated that a notice to keep was sent 28 days ago, but I have not received any charge letter or ticket.  I don't know what permit they are talking about. The leisure park does not have tickets, it has free parking for 5 hours- this is clearly stated on their website. Furthermore, I think the Parking Charge is invalid because, on March 8th, I was a customer at Royale Leisure Park, where I attended to watch a movie at the Odeon Cinema. I can prove my purchase of the ticket. The Royal Leisure Park has free parking for 5 hours as stated on their website (see attached screenshot), so they should not have given me the charge in the first place. Should I contact them to state that I should not have been given a charge? I'm concerned about the charge rising if I don't contact them.  Your advice is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hi All

 

I've been searching the site, looking for the latest news re the oft test case, but cannot find anything. I had 17 January in my mind - am I imagining that or is something happening on that day??

 

All seems too quiet ..........

jaxads

 

Halifax - £2281, successfully refunded all charges after LBA letter & telephone call.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

EOS Solutions "ceased action on account" on behalf of a friend.

 

All in all, quite busy at the moment and enjoying every minute of it
:eek:

The FSA waiver to the banks expires on 26 January there will be a certain amount of pressure to have the Test Case appeal results in by then.

Also we are still waiting for the final bit from Judge Andrew Smith re the requested statement from the Court that "Charges can not be tested as penalties" the only Bank who seemed to be struggling to get this pronouncement is RBS-NatWest..bless em!

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

Poor old Natwest don't seem to be getting much right at the minute - they're really struggling with my Subject Access Request !!!

 

Thanks again. jaxads

Hi Jaxads!

 

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day, I was searching the web for updates or anything regards the test case and ZIPPO!!

No speculation on a result or even what the outcome may be.

 

Maybe a few senario's from the resident experts would be good (just an idea)

 

I did notice on LB the general overview is the stay will be extended :mad:.

 

Does anyone have the inside track on this, there must be thousands of us holding our breath waiting for any news.

 

Regards to everyone and Happy happy new year!

I am sorry but the Test Case Appeals determines the FSA Waiver and NOT the other way around. The waiver is in place until the conclusion of the OFT test case is concluded. I doubt a final final resolution to this will happen before the start of 2010(in my opinion). More pressure DOES need to be put on the FSA around the actual renewal of the waiver.

I agree, however the result of the bank appeal is expected in January and also RBS Court declaration on charges as penalties is out standing,Judge Smith also indicated that he would attempt to have the matter resolved before Christmas so it’s due.

 

CONSPIROSY THEORY

If I were a banker with a blank cheque with love from Gordon sitting on the board room table I would seize the opportunity to clear the decks (with a little help from the uk tax payer) write down the debt and start over with a clean sheet.

 

I am not a banker..but here's hoping!

If I was a banker whose bank was 60% owned by the govt - I would be pressuring the government to legislate this out of existance.

 

I would suspect that we will se legislation to limit the refunds of PPi Charges and also to address the unenforceable loan issue.

Hi all,

 

I’m no expert on this but I think we are in for the long haul with these whole bank charges.

My theory is the banks will loose, but not totally. I think it will go down the same road as the credit cards, they will refund the difference between what is considered fair and what has been charged.

 

The claiming of PPI has suddenly become a bit more difficult, companies are more willing to take you to task rather than rolling over and paying out. I’m experiencing this now with my own claim.

 

The unenforceable CCA agreements will defiantly be the next "big" thing that could potentially have bigger consequence than PPI and bank charges combined. What if companies decide to start checking CCA's. Again my own theory.

 

I just wished the waiting was over so I knew what direction to take. I have the letters sitting on my PC just waiting to be printed and sent.

Re PPI>

 

I heard a story at a drinks party over Xmas that a senior compliance staff at Barclays decided to leave the banking industry and start his own Claims Management Company. Why on earth would somebody want to do that? !

 

Barclays had an online loan which had a compulsory ppi "option" (yes I Know) rather than them putting their hands up and sending all applicants their PPI payments back they are refunding on application as they admit they could not possibly have carried out any suitability test.

 

But dont tell anyone its a secret!

 

Problem is getting information like this to the public and showing up the banks for what they really are.

OFT have confirmed that this is the handing down of judgement on what was left over from the declarations sought by the banks on whether their charges could be tested as penalties.

 

natwest & abbey needed to make further representation.

 

On the bright side the most RBS/NatWest share price is likely to drop on bad news is 10.5p. Cheer up Fred the Shread !
