    • 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.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

That is the normal/correct way justice works in this country yes. :)

 

Even if anyone did go to court over this, no-one would be on trial - there would be no "guilty" or "not guilty" involved, it would all be very informal & sorted out sitting around a desk with some stuffy officials.

 

Thats all hypothetical anyway - i wouldnt lose sleep in the meantime ;)

Nutcake, I'd ignore for the moment, and if they do send court papers you will have the opportunity to dispute the amount they are claiming. It isn't like the USA with punitive damages, they have to prove their actual losses here. However, I'm not as confident as Mr Ton that they won't take you to court, they may see you as worth trying if they have a written admission.

I have not said they deffo wont..just implied that its highly unlikely, no matter if Nutcake has admitted it.

It will cost them anyway - so it doesnt make economical sense given that would recieve a tiny sum back per month if anything at all.

They are just relying on threatening people into paying up.

Received my reply from ACS:LAW after sending them a LOD. Here is their reply:-

 

We refer to previous correspondence regarding infringement of our clients copyright.

 

We note the response you have given matches a template response that is available on the Internet. With this in mind we are disinclined to accept at face value what you have said, as it is simply one of a number of identical replies we have received.

 

Accordingly, unless we receive your written undertaking and payment within the next fourteen days of receipt of this letter or you are able to provide a satisfactory explanation as to why you are not liable for the acts alleged against you, we shall seek our client's instructions to commence proceedings against you.

 

In the meantime, we expressly reserve all our client's rights.

 

Yours Faithfully

 

ACS:LAW

 

END OF THEIR RESPONSE

 

Well to be honest when I first received my original letter demanding over £500 it made me physically ill, coupled with the fact I suffer greatly with medical depression. Now, after a few weeks have passed and they have replied with the above quoted letter I honestly feel that I don't give a monkeys for these people. They will get one last reply from me, this time my own words which are not going to be pleasant or nice. I will tell them to stop threatening me, take the damn thing to Court ASAP. I know I didn't download the crap they say I did, I can't say for definite whether somebody else in my household or friends used my connection, so I will base any defence I may have to give in Court on the basis of who is responsible for the legal use of my connection. I know for a fact than a Roman Court has already thrown similar cases out of Court because they say you can't hold somebody responsible just because they pay the Internet bill. A friend of mine borrowed my car a couple of days ago, am I responsible if he were to drive like a lunatic and kill somebody??? I don't think so. ACS:LAW, go and get stuffed, take your legal crap with you and I for one will see you in Court anytime....:mad: Oh and after living expenses I have about £2.36 a month left over so good luck ACS with suing me for thousands because I will be about 200 years old before the fine is paid. :D

I note your reference to template letters, need I remind you that the letter you initially sent me appears to match a template letter you yourselves sent to possibly thousands of people, therefore I consider this some sort of fishing excercise on your clients behalf.

 

Until you provide me with some sort of proof of this alleged offence I cannot comment further than to deny all your allegations at this time.

Love it! :D

 

And don't forget to tell them that their rejection letter of your LOD is also a proforma so you will be disregarding that as well, so your LOD stands in your view :D

True. They have used the exact same template letters thousands of times, as did their predecessors, in fact they are the same letters as their predecessors used, remind me how that went again, oh I know, their predecessors packed all this nonsense up and passed it to these bunch of robbing cowboys, cya in Court ACS.:mad:

Jeez..ACS are muppets, do their staff now spend their days looking at this and other sites making notes about 'template' letters.

 

Wether a letter is a 'template' or not, people are quite entitled to use them , and as others have pointed out, what makes ACS letters NOT templates !

 

Lets hope we see the downfall of this horrible grotty company soon.

 

Incidentaly, whats happened to the SRA investigation of Davenport Lyons, it was started a long time ago.

Heaven knows why they are whinging on about template letters, the legal profession use them all the time, it doesn't matter a jot where or who created them.

 

The realisation is probably dawning on them that there is now a collective involved in this & they are no longer dealing with an individual who has no or little knowledge and who's only recourse was to either pay their demands or line the pockets of some other legal wallah in order to exonerate themselves.

 

Firms like this have complained in the past to judges about their 'victims' using the aid & resources of forums & were given short shrift & if these muppets try the same line they'll undoubtedly get the same.

You'd think that they would cotton on to the fact that they are getting so many template responses that they should stop sending out template demands for money, as they are clearly on a slippy slope here.

 

The fact they are replying to template letters with template letters speaks volumes, IMHO.

 

This just adds to the "reply with a LOD letter and ignore them until they take you to Court" strategy that seems to be showing itself to be effective.

You should also add parts of the Harrassment template in to the LOD letter - that way, if they continue corresponding, you can slam them for Harassment and get the Police involved.

They talk about template letters like that's an excuse that we are guilty as hell already. I also take note that so far none of their letters actually go as far as making it clear that "You have no obligation to pay them". So far the letters I have received have been nothing short of a "DEMAND". You MUST pay and you MUST pay now. Well stuff them. When a Judge tells me to pay, I will then pay (But only about £2.00 per month because of my financial circumstances lol). Of course these nasty bullies don't point out that they use thousands of templates to worry people sick. I say we should make up a twenty page template letter, send them at least twice a week. After a few thousand of these they will have no time to take anybody to court because they will be reading twenty pages of garbage like the massive letters they first threatened us with. I for one have really lost my patience with these ****. :-x My reply to them won't be another template it will be my very own original, pointing out to them in no uncertain terms how I feel about this and that any more letters from them will be used as toilet paper, bit rough but I'll get over it. I'll also be informing them to prove that it was me, sitting at my PC downloading the filthy crap they say I did....Grrr I'm at boiling point......;)

No, I think the general conclusion is we know more about what they can and can't do than they do. Either that, or we are able to learn faster than they can, so have the upper hand now.

So the general conclusion of this whole sorry saga...is that its been a waste of time on their part?

 

I suspect a percentage of people paid them - probably before it was all over the net what their game was.

 

On that basis they would have made money out of it.
