    • 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.

You were right....I have today received this exact letter. I intend to ignore it though!!!

 

Hi everyone

 

Thank you for all the above advice...it is really reassuring that you guys are supporting the instinct I have in my gut!

 

8 months on, I have now received another letter from AS Securi-T Ltd! It states that in the absence of any payment in regard to the outstanding debt, the full amount of £174 is now due! If this remains unpaid after 23 September 2009, Jon Tutte, Litigation Manager will register the debt and costs with Northampton County Court.

 

I intend to ignore this letter. However, I would appreciate hearing what any of you think about it. Are they now just creating random amounts of debt to owe, and random dates to pay by?! I think that mentioning 'Northampton County Court' by name is just a scare tactic....I hope anyway!

 

Thanks again.

Absolutely correct.

Notice the deliberate intention to decieve here, Local Authorities register PCN debts with Northampton County Court, not private parking companies. What he means to say is that they will submit a claim form, costing them at least £30.

 

Now, I smashed these fools once and I will help you to as well. All you have to do is nothing. They wont take you to court, Jon Tutte is most likely a made up name and the litigation manager is propably nothing more than one of the ticket issuing peasants that works for them. It is just a last ditched attempt to see if they can blag some money from you. Disregard them and worry about more important things such as what you are having for dinner tonight.

 

All the best,

Just wanted to say I'm reading this with smile on my face now.

I had parked in a private car park for customers use only(customers of Blockbusters, a pub called Bottoms Up and another public house Varisty). I was actually working in the Blockbusters store as a contractor which completed my working day and then met my friend in the Varsity for a coffee as he was shopping nearby. I returned to my van and found I had received a PCN from the company in question. I was going to pay this, begrudgingly, until a friend mention that he was sure you normally don't have to pay them if they are issued by a private company so I decided to come on here and have a look and am very glad I did now.

 

I was amazed at how they would know you were in none of the three venues mentioned above, given that two of them are pubs!!!

 

I received the ticket 12days ago and, though it's always unnerving receiving threatening letters, now intend to just forget it and carry on with my life. It's good to see the Joe-public sticking together :D

Yes Harty84 what ever you do Do Not Pay they will go away in the end. Just have a good read of this forum. Then decide if you want to play with them by replying to the [problem] or not. You will get some scary looking letters but as I say have a good read of the forum. I never paid and never will...... :) About 4 letters and they will give up and go away.

Hey guys, just registered now and new here. Just wanted to say thanks alot to this forum because I think you have just saved me £75 which is steep!

 

Quick question regarding the ignoring of letters. I received my ticket behind the back of Waterstones, which is where I work!I had a permit, but it just wasn't clearly visable!Should I inform them that I had a permit, or would this just get involved in 'playing their games?' and just ignore the letters?

 

I just hope I don't get taken to court and have to pay for the fine, and then the costs of them taking me to court :S this is my only worry....

Balboa, ignore them, then ignore them some more.

 

If you try explaining about your permit, they'll say it wasn't visible and keep pestering you. Ignore! :)

People on this forum have begged these clowns to take them to court without success, you are not that lucky.

It is not a fine so stop worrying, look upon it as no more than a begging letter.

Hi all,

 

Glad I came across this site...received a PCN from A S SECURI-T LTD on 15/4/2010 for paking at the rear of BLOCKBUSTERS,BOTTOMS UP, VARSITY in Loughborough.

 

It alleges I went elsewhere, thus the fine £70.50...I sent a letter informing them I had no intention of paying as BOTTOMS UP no longer exists..in fact its a totally different shop now..Elf foods.

 

More letter, more threats etc etc...Then today a 14 DAY NOTICE letter arrived adding another £80 to the fine now totalling £150.50 Signed by a certain JOHN TUTTE litigation & enforcement manager...demanding money "or else".

 

Scary stuff, but I've no intention of paying.

 

Just wondered how others have got on....any updates.

 

Keep smiling

Still not paying, going to keep replying and see how many letters/demands I can accumulate....Or should I just not bother to reply ?

 

Definately stop replying! The more you reply, the more junk mail you will receive.

 

Leave them to rack up the postage costs and you to save your time and money by NOT writing back to them.
