    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.

    • 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

Has anyone managed to have a look at the above yet?

 

Now I've re-read, re-read & re-read it. I'm assuming in the first instance that the evidence I send to Abbey, is only the paperwork the court has already seen. Do you think this is correct?

I really want to get it in the post to Abbey on Monday as I'm a bit close to the deadline.....

Thanks, as always for your help.

Another quick question, forgive me if I'm being simple...'statement of case' I'm not entirely sure what this is or what I need to include. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks again.

  • 3 weeks later...

Quick update:

It was ordered by the Judge on 21 Dec, that me and Abbey had to send copies of our evidence to each other within 3 weeks of that date. Then for me to send my bundle to the court and Abbey within 8 days of the hearing date (8 Feb).

I wrote to Abbey on 7 Jan with my evidence asking them to send theirs to me before 22 Jan to enable me to include it in my bundle.

 

No surprises then that I haven't heard a peep from Abbey.

 

I don't think I'm going to go the route that alot of others have, in so much as I'm not going to chase Abbey with emails/letters, I'm just going to write to the judge enclosing my bundle and a copy of the letter sent to Abbey on 7 Jan, informing him that they haven't complied with the order. (I will copy Abbey the bundle and letter)

Abbey have never replied to any of my requests apart from the bog standard fob offs. They've made promises to respond to me within set periods of time and have never bothered. Whats going to be different this time? I'll be sending them off tomorrow, so i'll wait with baited breath!

Tai,

I'm not going to chase Abbey
Couldn't agree more - no need to remind them of their deadlines. And I've noticed a tidal wave of new Abbey claims being filed over the last few weeks - I bet they're snowed under at the moment. Just imagine the sinking feeling the people in the office must get when the post trolley comes round every few hours piled high with more Court correspondence. Patience is a virtue ! Regards Mad Nick.

I sent an email to Inga and co on 21st Dec in the hope that I would be able to avoid the hours of bundle prep. Needless to say I didn't get a response and i submitted my bundle to the court on 29th Dec.

 

Then, on 16th Jan I received an email out of the blue from Inga offering full settlement! It was the first personal correspondence I'd received from Abbey and I have to say I consider it an advantage that they have my email address so we can now communicate fairly quickly.

Okay, something weird here......

 

I have today received from Abbey my 6 years of microfiche statements and an offer of settlement!

 

The figure they have offered is alot less than what my claim was for, I had to estimate it because I only had 18 statements to hand.

My concern is that the charges I do have statements for, do not show on the fiche printouts. They are willing to pay these, but my only concern is if these do not show on the microfiche printouts - could anything else not be showing.

I'm quite happy to accept what they are offering, but I want to be sure its correct.

Has this happened to anyone else???????????

I found it quite difficult to match the charges on my statements to those on the microfiche as on my spreadsheets I had written down the dates the charges occurred , but on the fiche it shows the dates the charges were applied to the account. It wouldn't have been such a problem had my statements covered 1st-last day of month! With a lot of concentration and cross checking I was able to match the charges.

 

having said that, I still don't agree with Abbey's totals on one of my accounts, so I'll be emailing to ask for the difference (see my thread - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/32118-getting-my-knickers-twist.html#post250769 )

Hi Southerner

I checked your thread already, and I must admit I'm having the same problem.

I've checked and double checked the date the DD were unpaid and sometimes within 2 months either side there is no charge. I find it unbelievable that Abbey wouldn't have charged the £30 for not paying it.

 

There are some instances that the charge has been applied (I have the statement) but I just cannot find it anywhere on the fiche printouts.

I'm assuming my letter has come from Inga, only by their ref at the top of the letter is Murphy/ICK. I'm assuming the ICK is Inga Kirkham.

I've not contacted Abbey by email before, only by letter, but I think the only thing I can do is to email Inga and ask why some of the charges that I have statements for do not appear on the fiche printout. Aside from that there are a couple of charges on the fiche printout that they've failed to notice (they've highlighted everything they've added onto their schedule of charges). I guess they must be rushing to catch up with their back log!

I must admit, I haven't checked all the charges against the fiche - only the ones for the estimated period and the problem I had with dates was knowing where to start!

 

Make sure the charges that have been missed haven't been refunded - on the fiches that I was sent there were sometimes 2 charges together that had been marked with an X.

 

If you want to email Inga, her address is [email protected]

 

Good luck.
