    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

My complaint to the council paid off.....

 

I'm not flavour of the month considering that 3 neighbouring houses (not my neighbours) have had to take apart their illegal attic conversions that are used as bedrooms.

 

I don't give a hoot what they think. It's not my fault that they were stupid enough to think that people would be safe sleeping in there.

My son came home from college and got 41/42 for an assessment, not bad for someone who has been off most of the last 2 months with his skin, hospital admissions and swine flu :D

 

He also said he bought his sister's Christmas pressie, and its a locket to which he wants to put a picture of their late Grandad in it, so that made me smile and cry as well :)

My 'second mum' is stable at the mo but still in critical care. The second op seems to be working so far, but they have to keep an eye on her for septecimia, as when the parts of her bowel died the contents spilled out. They removed what they could during surgery but now it's up to her body. She is on a ventilator to aid her weak lungs and dialysis to help her kidneys as obviosuly they are struggeling with what they have to filter out. She is stable though, and is looking better than she has since she was rushed in so that's very good.

She has gone back into surgery again. She's just a born trouble maker really :rolleyes:. Her bloods are still good though and dialysis seems to be working. She's totally sedated and the have her on a ventilator so at least she is getting all the help they can and she's not in pain. They may have to leave her open this time. It's not great news, but she is doing well considering what she's been through. Very well. May have to make her a super woman T shirt when she gets out. Thanks for your thoughts Spammy.

Good luck Mungypup. At least she seems to be getting the treatment - not sure it would be that fast on our NHS!

 

Ah, see it's what I call my adopted Mum that's in. Vey confusing I know! My parents are in the states and it was my real Mum who had a stroke end of May, although it was months before I could actually get over to her. Anyway, this is my 'second mum'. Me and her daughter have been best friends since we were 4, so they are like family to me, and we all consider each other as such. This has all been done on the NHS but the NHS is actually to blame for it in the first place (in our opinion). This has all happened because they refused to take her gall bladder out even though she was having problems. They did not consider it bad enough yet. Then her (still on 2nd Mum) pancreas failed (Exactly a week before my real Mum had the stroke, we joked they were in competition, you have to try to make light of things). Her pancreas was infected due to complications from her gall bladder and half of the tissue died and so on. The gall bladder has now been removed but this is the next f**k up that's as a result of them ignoring her, and we have been told it does stem from the gall bladder and pancreas complications. Very frustrating, but I hope that when this is over it will be the last complication. We are hoping anyway. Was speaking to my friend/sis today and we have agreed that her mum is now waaaay in the lead. She's just too competetive.

Sorry if I've confused people, it does get easy to get it mixed up, I forget that people don't automaticly know who I'm speaking about what the hell I'm banging on about. Drives OH mad!

Right, its all clear now!

 

Know what you mean about making light of things! My parents are divorced and a few years ago, on the same day my dad signed himself out of hospital after being diagnosed with lung cancer, my mum was admitted with a stroke. So, they managed to avoid each other even when both at death's door!

 

Wasn't easy but it did give us something to smile about afterwards. Mum did recover but has some short term memory problems that can cause chaos if people that don't know leave phone messages with her.

 

anyway, good luck with both mum's!

Thanks chuck :)

 

Glad your Mum is ok. I think you have to smile about things. Sometimes it's the only way to get through stuff. We still laugh at the phone call when my Dad called to tell me what had happened. She had the stroke on his 60th birthday (have said to her since she may have confused his birthday list :eek:), so when he phoned I thought it was to say thanks for card etc. After the initial shock of the news he ran through the exact events, "had a call at work...rushed home..walked through the door and as soon as she opened her mouth I knew exactly what had happened".

 

My response? - "Why Dad, what was in there?" my stupidity shocks even me sometimes. Made him laugh though and he had trouble re-wording it. I make people laugh in bad situations even when not intended. :-)

Had my cast off and the swelling's gone down enough to keep it off as long as I promised the hospital staff I'd rest it :D All wobbly, unbalanced and paifull now though. Spent the afternoon sleeping it all off and almost fell down the stairs lol... :D

 

The breuising is still horrific though :|

Well, that is a good thing!

 

Thought it was only my family that was mad! I remember when my mum fell downstairs and broke her neck - my stepdad rang me at work and calmly said "nothing to worry about but your mum's fallen downstairs and broken her neck" Right, OK! She survived that as well.

 

Then after my brother died and we were all in shock I said "he'd be really pi**ed off about the dentist bill" cos he'd just spent £700 getting his teeth sorted after years of putting it off. He would have been though, he hated paying that dentist!

 

Babybear - I think you must be as accident prone as my mother!
