    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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,

I've been given a court date of 4th Jan and told that the hearing should take no longer than 15 minutes.

 

Can anyone advise if it's worth contacting Barclays to give them another chance to settle or should I just sit tight and await the big day?

Hi Perez30.

I don't think it will do you any harm to try and settle. Keep the conversation simple.

 

Go to my thread and phone the number I've supplied or, alternatively, ring 0207 1165634. That number is normally manned by a lady called Temi.

She was the individual who was dealing with MY claim. She is very nice.

 

Basically, I phoned her to say that I had a Directions Hearing sheduled for the 21st of December and that I was going to be working away for two weeks. I asked if they were going to send me something within that period. If they were, they'd not be getting a reply until the 18th of December which would lead them to believe that I was not interested in a settlement.

 

She just asked my name and said that she'd phone me back soon. Well, within 10 minutes, she did, and she asked me what figure I was looking at. I had my up-to-date figure in front of me which included the 8% interest and Daily Interest up to that very day. Make sure you too have that figure with you when you phone.

 

She then said that she'd offer me £8 short of the full amount. That was good enough for me, and it was so close to Christmas that it was perfect timing. I see no reason why they won't settle with you. Phone in the morning so that they send the offer letter out that day. When it arrives, put a line through the confidentiality section (It's OK to do that). In order that you get your money back into your account before Christmas, find a fax machine and fax it back to them. In the Xmas post, it may not make it in time. It will take up to 48 hours for it to reappear into your account.

 

Good Luck and let me know how you get on.

Thanks for your advice Welshman.

 

I didn't have an opportunity to ring Temi before she rang me yesterday. After a short delay (they'd lost the schedule of charges so I had to e-mail them again!) Temi offered me (*almost) a full settlement! :-D (*I'd miscalculated a few charges so I'll only be getting £2280 :rolleyes: )

 

Temi has e-mailed me a settlement offer and once this has been received by Barclays I'm told that my account will be credited within 48 hours. Of course I'll be putting a line through the confidentiality statement.

 

But I've got to say - HAPPY DAYS!!!

 

Thanks to everyone that helped me. This site is invaluable to people like me who have little experience in such matters. I'm e-mailing the scanned settlement offer this morning and once the cash hits the bank I'll be making a donation.

 

Thanks again.

Hi Mattayo and welcome to CAG.

 

There is a Barclays sub forum in the main forums, and there's a beginners guide to CAG linked to my signature, below, which will help you to start a new thread. It would be helpful for you to read the charge reclaim FAQ's in the forum, as well, which will answer most questions, then you can ask any other questions you may have in your own thread.

 

;)

Hi there,

 

Just wondering - Phil, you said you only claimed back to 6 years ago. I thought I read elsewhere that you could claim back longer. Is this the case?

 

Can anyone confirm if there is a maximum term?

 

When the charges are declared unfair, which is virtually inevitable, you can reclaim back to 1995 - the time the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contract Regulations was placed on power.

 

s.32 Limitations Act also works to mean that the standard 6 years limitiation period, which you are referring to, wouldn't apply, as the charges were paid under the mistaken belief that they were fair.
