    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

Hello everybody,

 

I have been reading this site for a while now and have decided it's time to get proactive!

 

I've had numerous problems with my accounts since I have been living abroad and have had huge troubles trying to resolve them.

 

First of all, Orange made a 'human error' on request to disconnect my account. They failed to cancel my direct debit and charged me 4 months line rental before I discovered. (I had no need to check my bank or so I thought as all DD had been canceled). This led to my Halifax bank going into debt and charges being incurred. I informed Orange of this and they offered to refund the money, all I had to do was copies of my statements.

 

I requested these from Halifax via Email, and via phone calls on MANY occasions. Always being told that they are in the post and on there way 'thank you sir'. I have spent a large amount of money on overseas calls but unfortunately do not have any records of these, however I remember hearing at the beginning of each phone call a recorded message stating 'calls will be recorded....'

 

I am wondering how best to go about my claim.

 

I realise Orange are liable and have offered to pay for the first 7 charges incurred due to their 'human error'.

 

I also have recently come to believe (after reading this site) that Halifax should refund the money and interest on it, as the charges are unlawful.

 

Since these charges occured nearly 2 years ago now, I have had great trouble trying to keep up with my credit card payments, and have incurred many charges from Halifax and from my Credit Card companies.

 

Any advice as to where to start this claim/ these claims would be greatly appreciated.

 

As I have mentioned I have had a great deal of trouble attempting to just get statements of my accounts from Halifax, never mind a refund of charges.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Julian Darius Rutherford.

Since I am living abroad, how does that affect my claim? I understand that I may end up in court by starting this legal battle, and from what I've read Halifax *usually* give in just before the court summons.

 

If I end up in court, will they pay for my return fight?!

 

And are there any other considerations to take into account with a claim from overseas?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Julian Darius Rutherford

If you get to court you can claim back all costs ie £10 data protection fee £120 court fee etc. I cant see why your flight tickets should not be any different as if the bank had not made these unlawful charges then you would not have to fly back to sort it out.

Hi Tinkerbell,

 

Thanks for the email address, much appreciated.

Should I use this address just for a general requests and inforamation,

or to 'start the claim ball rolling'?

 

Also I (Joolz threadstarter) am claiming of Halifax,

no idea about MCoffey.

 

I am also claiming of Orange and potentially Egg too, though I've heard no success stories from Egg customers and they owe me the least by a long way.

 

More details are given in my original post.

 

Thanks once again.

Hi Tinkerbell,

Hi Joolz,

 

I would suggest that you start a thread for each of the organisations. You will find these on the main BAG Site.

 

With regards to the email link, I suggested you wrote to her as you said that you were having problems receiving data from Halifax.

 

Unless of course you are now requesting a full DPA of 6 years worth of statements. If this is the case, then don't bother to email her. Have you sent a formal DPA request including £10 fee to the Halifax? If not, then you may want to start with that as a way of starting hte ball rolling on your claim.

 

There is a huge list of Contact Address at the top of the Halifax Forum. It seems that Trinity Road in Halifax is the one to use.

 

Good Luck!

Hi Tinkerbell,

 

I think I will just go straight for the full 6 year DPA request. I've had enough of wasting time and money asking politely.

 

I am currently living in South Korea but am moving back to Thailand at the end of this month, I think I will wait until I am settled to start my claim.

 

Thanks for the encouragement.

 

JustJoolz
