    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

[Y/N?] post it up Yes, rejected:   Site: Sea View Car Park, PL27 6SR Date of Event: 16th March 2024 We are in receipt of your challenge in relation to the above Parking Charge. Appeals must be handled in a fair and consistent manner, therefore, in order for us to cancel any Parking Charge; it is necessary for us to find that the Notice was issued in error. As per the clear and prominent signage at this location ('The Contract'), drivers agree to pay the sum of £100 if 'A valid ticket is not displayed face-up on the dashboard; enabling all of the printed information to be inspected'. 'The Contract' also details that there is an exception for those with a valid mobile session in place. Had the driver felt that the terms of the contract were unacceptable, they had the option to seek alternative parking. By remaining, the driver is deemed in law to be bound by the terms of 'The Contract'. Our photographic evidence confirms that a valid ticket was not displayed, and a search of our records confirms that no mobile session was in place for the registration XXXX at this location; therefore, your appeal is declined. We note that you have submitted evidence of payment; however, said payment is not for this location. It may be the case that you feel that the charge is unfair; however, there is no legal basis to now reject a charge that the driver has already agreed to pay. In light of the above, the sum £100.00 is payable by 21/05/2024 or £170 thereafter. Our internal appeals procedure is now exhausted, our decision is final; therefore no further correspondence other than payment will be addressed or responded to. Should you disagree with our decision, you may submit an appeal to 'The Independent Appeals Service'; full details are on the rear of this letter. 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking LTD   8.

IAS Hi there, thanks in advance for any help on this.   Had 3 'PCNs' in post from Alliance for parking 3 times over a period of two weeks, unfortunately we were away from home so letters must have come over the two weeks but we received all at once if that makes sense. I realised I had used the wrong location on the car park app. The signs are not clear what the location is called (no code.) I only had receipts for two instances so I assume the first it didn't go through as had terrible signal. Paid £60 for one of the fines. Appealed the others saying it was an honest mistake and not very good signage (unfortunately submitted on their website and have no evidence of my appeal.) received the rejection of appeal as above.   Have now received the attached letter of claim. I have done some research for the amazing snotty letters but wonder if someone could kindly help me with writing one specific to my case? Thank you so very much in advance.

    • 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.

Hi Cerberusalert

 

Any advise on what to do, should I send them a letter explaining they are in breach of the OFT guidelines ? I am not sure what CPUR's is ? I am sorry for being a pest on this forum, like i said in one of my earlier post's I am unsure on what action to take, this forum as helped me get this far, I have had a look around the forum for a letter that would fit a suitable response from me , but have found none, there one other thing I would like to mention, in the reply I had from Shop Direct Financial Services regarding the signatures, they have asked me to post them either my Passport or Driving Licence :D, idiots !!!

 

Thank You Again

Make a complaint to your local trading standards & the OFT with regards to their harassment and threats, they are in clear breach of OFT guidelines & CPUT;

Great Thank You!!!, should I still send a small letter to them explaining their breach to get them to stop sending me letters, while I wait for a response from the OFT AND FOS?

 

You are a Gem !!!!!!!

Send them this;

 

Dear Sir,

 

You have stipulated that you require proof of my identity/signature before you comply with my request, may I bring the following to your attention;

Data Protection Act Good Practice Notes:

 

2. Do you have enough information to be sure of the requester’s identity?

Often you will have no reason to doubt a person’s identity. For example, if a person with whom you have regular contact sends a letter from their known address it may be safe to assume that they are who they say they are.

 

Suffice to say that if the Information Commissioners Office are satisfied that if you have previously corresponded with me at this address then it is reasonable that I am the person I say I am, therefore there is no leglislation nor guidelines that you can hide behind in an attempt to avoid fullfilling my legal request,

 

Yours,

Hi Cerberusalert

 

I have sent them the letter, but I am continuing to receive default letters and charges from NDR, this concerns me greatly, would you know of a template letter I could send them as at the moment I am compiling all the correspondence from Shop Direct Financial, kays and Ndr to send to the OFT and FOS, surely they are aware that they have broken the law by sending me these default letters whilst I am in dispute with Kay’s, are they allowed to send me these even though they have said their have exhausted they complaints procedure and that their last letter was a final response, they also said if I was not happy with their reply I should contact the FOS, well that's what I am doing, but they are still sending default letters, slightly confused and P***** off about the whole scenario????

 

I was thinking of something like:

 

" Although you may have exhausted your complaints procedure, I have not, and I would be grateful if you would recognize the situation. You have not complied with my SAR request, and your reply letter to each question that was put to you was grossly unsatisfactory. You continue to send me letters, which breaks OFT guidelines. I am in the process of building a dossier to send to the OFT and FOS and I gratefully request that you do not contact me until you have received notification from the aforementioned bodies.

 

Any good?

 

Thank you for your help on this matter ☺

Chris, don't let it get to you so much. I know it is easier said than done, but this is one way that they try to get you to rop the case, because they lose money when you win. I cant suggest a template letter, but don't expect miracles of help from the FOS, they just seem to sit on the fence abit. I do wonder who supplies their money, financial companies ?

 

But just keep on, I have got to the stage with Crap1 that this is thei final leter, next one is notification of intended court proceedings. I have 2 running with them, one for me and one for the misses, but after I have won these 2 then I am starting on Littlewoods (the company that owns Kays and virtually all other catalogues) as my wife never signed an agreement with them, so we will see what they say to that.

 

But just keep your head up and say to yourself, "I am going to beat these so and so's (here, I am being polite to them), they are not getting away with this. Did you ever report the forged signatures to the police ? if so what was their reply.

Hi Keefyboy

 

Can't help it mate, my wife is going back in hospital and these morons are continuing to send me these defaults, as i said in a earlier post my skills on consumer law are limited, this is why i need template letters to get the ball rolling, i am not giving up on this as they have broken and continue to break OFT guidelines, and as i am compiling all the evidence against Kays to send to the FOS and OFT it will take some time to do this also the waiting time for the FOS AND OFT to respond will be a bit more, saying that they continue to give me more evidence by sending me these defaults letters with charges on, as my wife is going back to hospital, i could really do with some head space, so this is why i have requested a template letter to shut them up until they have a response from the aforementioned bodies.

 

What really, really bugs me is that because they have said it was their final response letter they have thought that the dispute was finished and they can continue to send me default letters :-x

 

I haven't been to the police yet as I wanted to go the distance with letters, but i will be informing them on the whatever template letter is suitable for a response.

 

Thanks !

Don't forget Chris we are here to support you as much as we can in any way or form, so you concentrate on your wife at the mo, she is the most important thing going on for you. I can not see them trying to take you to court as they are going to look very silly with the way they have ignored your previous letters and kept adding charges. They have quite blatently disregarded the law because they have got away with it for so long, now they are coming unstuck bigtime.

 

But as I say, ignore the letters for now, you have already told them of your circumstances, so you concentrate on your wife getting better and helping her, you can always put this on hold and come back to it later when things have calmed down. Good luck my friend.

Cheers, but i would still like to send them a letter so they know my intentions and time it would take for the response from OFT and FOS, then i could concentrate more clearly, obviously my wife's health is more important than these idiots.

 

Thank for your help mate :)

Hi All

 

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely weather, has for the letter I would like to send, could some one have a look at below to see it is suitable?

 

Dear Sir,

 

Although you may have exhausted your complaints procedure, I have not, and I would be grateful if you would recognize the situation. You have not complied with my Subject Access Request, and your reply letter to each question that was put to you was grossly unsatisfactory. You have stipulated that you require proof of my identity/signature before you comply with my request, may I bring the following to your attention;

 

Data Protection Act Good Practice Notes:

You also continue to send me default letters and charges, which breaks OFT guidelines. And as I am in the process of building a dossier to send to the OFT and FOS I gratefully request that you do not contact me until you have received notification from the aforementioned bodies and would appreciate you informing your minions, Kay’s and NDR on this matter.

 

If you fail to respond to this letter, I will be lodging an official complaint to Trading Standards, My MP, and a complaint to Gareth Thomas - Undersecretary Of State For Trade And Consumer Affairs.

 

Yours

Hi Chris

I have read your letter and to me it looks OK but please remember I am not in any way shape or form, leagally trained.

 

I had a bit of trouble with Capital One pulling this trick about proving who you are and wanting signatures, they stated that I had never told them of my change of address, well I blew it straight back in their faces as I had sent them a change of address on 2 occasions and the debt management comapny had informed them as well, so I said to them that they had already sent 6 plus letters to the new address and they had not checked the persons details (me) out before sending them, so therefore they were in breach of the data protection act.

 

Even more though when they sent me part of my SAR request, I was checking through all the manual intervention stuff and found an entry dated may 2008 changing my address details, so that blew their arguement right out the window.

 

If they do keep insisting on a signature, then send them a signature, but when you do make sure you have a line through it or something

I always do mine in RED ink over a blue pen (i still use a fountain pen) sometimes I make it a straight line, sometimes a wavy line, some times a pyramid line, always something different and try to use the signature method once, so if they do try and use a copy of it, you will know that it has been copied.

 

The wording you have used is not what I would have put, but even my "Speak as I feel method" is not good enough, so I always try and get someone with a bit more experience to check it.

 

sorry I cant help you more..
