    • its not a good idea to disappear for 2 mths without reading up. 1000's of threads here to read. dx  
    • I don't think they even deserve a reply...    We do have a solid case don't we?? Even though mum corgot the pop that time??
    • To start, my address both on my logbook and with the DVLA are correct.  The first I knew of the bus lane fine was when a woman on another floor in my building posted a photo of a letter addressed to me but with her address on it, on the building's facebook group. I obviously recognised my name so contacted her. She said she'd been receiving these letters for me for months but only asked in the group if anyone knew me when the bailiffs were at her door.  I contacted the debt collection agency and Manchester Council and was told to appeal. So I did and explained what happened said I was more than willing to pay the original fine but its now at over £400 and I would have paid straight away if the letters had gone to the correct address. Months have passed and I have just been told (with no reason) that my appeal was unsuccessful and I need to pay the full amount.  Any help would be appreciated! It just seems so unfair!
    • Exactly right Bank!  I had an email this morning from HM Courts and Tribunals Service Civil Money Claims: Dear Mr xxxx Claim number: 527MCxxx Parcel2Go.com has been given an extra 14 days to respond to your claim. They need to respond to your claim before 4pm on 4 June 2024.  Anyone would think you've been through this before!
    • OK, understood. The second decision to make, given PE are wobbling, would be whether to reply to them (well after 8 May to show you're not scared of them), ridicule their offer which is no offer at all, and ask them to make a serious attempt to settle.  You never know, they might offer a few quid as an out-of.court settlement and it might save your mum having to do court. Just an idea.  Something to consider.

    • 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! Sent my first letter, asking for charge details going back 6 years, although I do have statements for the last 4.

 

I addressed it to my own branch.

 

Was this correct?

 

It was sent 1st class on 8 March and I have still to receive a reply. Should I chase or just wait for the 40 days as my letter states?

 

Thanks

 

Loula

Welcome to the forum.

 

There is no problem with sending it to the branch but it is better to use recorded delivery. There is also nothing to stop you reminding them of the deadline.

 

In your case it would be a good idea to send a reminder to the branch by recorded delivery and refer to the previous letter.

Many thanks.

 

I will send a copy of the original and covering letter by RD on Monday.

 

Do you also know how far back I can go with online statements?

 

Are they "admissible" if I get as far as suing the barstewards?

 

Loula.

This is unlike Lloyds. Predatory maybe but usually efficient. Send another letter, refering to your first by Special Delivery. Tell them that the clock is ticking from the date of your first letter.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Thank you.

 

So to recap ( pregnant so no brain cells )....

 

I need to send reminder letter by Recorded or Special delivery also containing £10 to cover the DPA charge.

 

Can someone add this to the FAQ's please, I couldn't see it anywhere.

Just a quick update.

 

I have today sent a reminder Recorded Delivery along with the £10 DPA charge but kept to the 40days I originally set them. I would have sent it Special Delivery but didn't have enough pennies thanks to the LTSB charges!

 

They could quite easily have sent me the information requested and asked to debit the charge from my account - the one charge I would not have tried to reclaim!

 

I will keep you posted on any response.

Sent the RD leters on 21 March.

 

According to the Royal Mail website, it has been delivered!

 

The £10 cheque attached has not been banked yet though.

 

I'll keep you posted!

Must be ESP, but I waited until yesterday (Saturday) as advised in my previous post and lo and behold this arrived...

 

 

Dear Ms Loula

 

Your request for information under the Data Protection Act 1998

 

 

Thank you for contacting LTSB to request transaction listings and details of events requiring manual intervention.

 

We will be pleased to provide this information on your account. If you require information on any other products or services ...please let us know.

 

As permitted by the Data Protection Act, the fee for providing personal information is £10. I would be grateful if you could please sign and return the enclosed copy of this letter in the prepaid envelope I've provided as your authority to debit your account with the fee or alternatively send us the appropriate amount by cheque. We require a cheque made payable to Lloyds TSB Bank plc - please don't send cash.

 

Under the Act we are allowed up to forty days to fulfil your request starting from the receipt of the fee.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Now I have in mind a young man of perhaps 16/17 years of age wearing a suit and shirt at least one size too big, because his Mum secretly hopes he will grow into it. Dad's told him 'Banking is a good solid career with plently of prospects me lad'. All his mates are off to uni!

 

Now he has obviously used some of his own words/terminology, bless him. I however do not like abbreviations (I've, don't etc) in official letters. (That is just the Director in me.)

 

BUT THIS DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE FEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Scathing email, fax and letter on the way.

 

Once composed I will post it for all you CAG's to view!

FOR THE PERSONAL ATTENTION OF CHRIS BROWN

 

Dear Chris,

 

It was with bemusement that I read your undated letter, post marked 23 March, received by me on Saturday 25 March (copy hereby attached).

 

The branch with which I hold a Lloyds TSB account has received the required £10 fee by way of a recorded delivery letter, signed for on 22 March. I would therefore suggest you speak directly with them.

 

No doubt the forty day timer has therefore already started to tick and as of today’s date you have 34 days remaining.

 

Yours faithfully

 

LOULA

 

Enc.

 

 

Sent by Royal Mail & Fax

 

As you can see I am sending it by fax and snail mail.

 

The cheque is still not banked, but hey, that is their problem not mine!!!!

 

No doubt 6 years worth of statements will arrive tomorrow....

 

Ho Hum... 34 days to go.

 

LOULA

 

Just noticed... he is obviously a very busy man as he has not signed the letter!

It is now two calender weeks since they received my cheque and reminder letter by recorded delivery.

 

Am again going to fax to them today, also email and phone.

 

Once I have composed (myself and) the text I will let you know.

Dear Chris,

 

I am quite astounded that I have not received a reply to my faxed letter (also send first class) of 27 March 2006.

 

I have attached a copy hereto.

 

As you have had the money in LTSB's possession since 22 March 2006, you have now only 25 days in which to reply.

 

Your urgent attention to this matter is required.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Didn't get a chance to fax or phone.

 

Have not received a reply so tomorrow I shall call them.

Well, after receiving no reply to my fax and email (which didn't bounce), I decided to call them!

 

Funnily enough the number that the top of the letter from Chirs Brown is not where SHE works. (My apologies to Chris for assuming she was male)

 

Once I had secured her direct number... 0121 633 5452 .. I call her and was told, that my package had been sent out first class yesterday and would be with me by tomorrow latest. She was very dismissive almost to the point of rudeness, so I retract me apology!

 

Not two minutes later the postman arrived with said package!

 

Have totalled up the charges....

After a full two minutes of eye rubbing and shock I re-added everything

... fell off chair, got back on and.... £3260! and that's with almost three full years of paying nothing in charges!

 

These people are beyond belief and words!

 

Only manaual intervention was

1. refund charges of £75 in 1999

2. correct input of wrongly credited travellers cheques 2001

3. DPA request acknowledgement 2006

4. DPA chaser and cheque acknowledgement. 2006

 

Everything else on the other 10 pages was standard letters.

 

As you can now imagine the GIVE ME MY MONEY OR ELSE letter will be sent RD tomorrow!
