    • 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.

    • 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.

NWSM, I appreciate your input and apologize if I came across unneccessarily harsh ;)

Hadn't had my coffee when I wrote my last comment :oops: ...

 

Unfortunately all details re. the old account have vanished from the online banking site so I can't re-check. I'll see what they called the 12.- charge when they send us the final statements for that account.

 

Went through some of the statements they sent and by the looks of it most of 2002 is missing. Luckily we have quite a few original statements from that year.

OK, I'm off to do some adding up now :D

Round about 1300,- is what we want back.

Took me 3 hours to add everything up, used the spreadsheet which is very good:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html#post750

Next letter will be the prelim plus another one asking for the missing statements/charges and all the other Data Protection Act info we asked for.

BTW: We got our statements in nice white envelopes :D

'smee again :D

On Tuesday I want to send Mr. Cunnane

1. our prelim asking for £1229.- back

2. LBA re Data Protection Act

3. a new Data Protection Act for info on NatWest credit card

As NatWest haven't cashed the £10.- cheque I sent with the last DPA (they took £5.- out of the account instead!) I'll ask them to use it for the new one.

 

What do you guys out there think?

Any comments?:rolleyes:

I got my "Stuart Higley" letter today! :-D

Listen to this bit:

"The bank is under no obligation to explain how its charges are calculated and we are not prepared to enter into any correspondence on this matter. The compilation is a confidential commercial matter."

Right, so I'll send my LBA ...:rolleyes:

Also want to submit a complaint to the OFT. So far I have the Director of Enforcement and Credit Licensing,

Ray Hall's email address. He is the man for Consumer Credit Act 1974 issues. Has anyone out there dealt with him/done this before and can maybe point me in the right direction what to write/how to word it?

Thanks ;)

Warms sorry for this minor hijack but need to respond to above. Andrew1-windchest asked the question, and I answered it. As to your question I will answer it in the manner many others have STANDARD LETTER.

Warms apologies again and Good Luck

Ouch !:o duly told off and apologies if I hijacked. Actually it was Warms who pointed out the sentence in the letter, Windchest only asked if Stuart Higley existed. I posted the same thing on my thread not knowing Warms had posted the same thing here and it appears that both of us found it shocking and neither of us got any response so I just wondered what you thought of it given all your valuable input into the forum. No hijack or offence meant in any way shape or form..:wink:

No worries, still think it is a standard response. I think I have read it a few times on the threads so all is back to usual. Sorry andrew1- I get a few ppl having a go from time to time so sorry if it sounded a bit off, apologies again.

Early days was hard, but ppl have had such hard times because of Banks that they are suspicious of anyone who works for the banks, also Bank Workers on this site have argued the bank views and made my job harder to begin with. I have added on my signature that if ppl do not want further advice from me then I will cease posting on that thread. None so far have taken up the offer, so far.

Warms only 14 days before MCOL Good luck

Hi!

Wow, what a load of ... replies!:D

No worries, andrew1, I don't mind people joining in, we all have the same questions.

Good luck to all of you, and vicki1977, you really need to start your own thread!

Windchest, I actually feel kind of "initiated" now that i have my own Stuart-Higley-bog-off-letter ;) Hm, we should consider printing t-shirts and selling them to raise funds for this site: "STUART HIGLEY TOLD ME TO BOG OFF" :D

NWSM: remember me saying they'd charged us £12.- for closing the old account?

We got the last statements and there it says:

 

"Charges (ac.no.)XXXXXXXX TO CLOSE 12.00

Charges (ac.no.)XXXXXXXXLAST PER'D 12.00"

 

What do you make of this? :confused:

Advantage Gold fee, final month charge. As I said NW do not charge for closing accounts

...but :D what's the other 12.- for?!

One is for the "last per'd", but the other? What do they mean by saying "to close" other than they are charging 12,- to close the account?

the charges for Advantage Gold Account go out one month behind so for example if it is closed at the end of August then £12 for July and £12 remains to go out for August(normally would go out at the end of September) so £12 to close is Augusts charge

Thanks for explaining it, NWSM.

 

It still feels wrong, though...

I know. I find it hard to explain to people that maybe £20 over their overdraft that to close their account there is an additional £56 (2 x Unarranged Borrowing Fees) still due to go out. In my honest opinion, a bank worker will soon take a knife for this and I just hope it isn't me. I also hope I am wrong as well
