    • Moved to the Private Parking forum.
    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you 
    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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 there,

I have been with Halifax for years.

I have had missed payments here and there (but I would say just a few in the last 14 years) ...I am only human...

As I have had all these years my salary paid in (good salary I would say), Halifax have been ok (that's what I thought).

Two years ago when I have been through diff. times I have lost my job.:(, therfore I have been getting the JOB seekers allow.

 

Anyway once I have started to reclaim the charges applied onto 2 Haliax credit cards as well as the curr account, I have had that feeling that Hlaifax will come back to get me somehow, therfore I have opened another acc within months with a diff. bank.

The curr. acc I've had had an aranged overdraft for 500.00. Once I have opened the other acc, I have told the new bank to close the halifax cur acc. and to transfer everything from there including the overdraft..but they could not transfer the overdraft but they did everything else.

I was £496.00 in overdraft. Halifax wrote me a letter saying that they have charged me £6.43 which made me going over the arranged overdraft.

 

My question is:

is there anything I could do to get rid of these charges extra???Actually to freeze these one?

I know that I have to pay back and anyone would advice me how to proceed? Would I have to offer a £1.00 payment??

I am only asking as I have reclaimed all the charges under the Hardship Case and now is with FOS.....

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanking you in advance,

DD:)

London, is the hardship case separate to the other thread you have?

And when did you reclaim under financial hardship and did they give you a financial hardship closure letter which should explain any refund if any?

Halifax should under the FSA Waiver issue a financial closure letter which should outline a final response on the financial hardship part of the claim.

With the FOS did you send them Income and expenditure form(household) plus all correspondence and any arrears notices?

Hi yourbank,

Halifax did send a letter saying that they can not see any sign of financial problems after I have completed the financial statement sent by them around 4 months ago maybe even more...I have to check. How did they come to this I do not know but I am sure it was just a template letter they sent as a same letter one of my friend had.

So, I have sent another letter with all the expenditures (a copy of financial statement), that I am under JSA, bills do have to be paid and I do not have enough ...etc. And what they did? Thay have sent another financial statement to be completed ...so I did 1 month ago.Nothing since btu I have taken FOS route. I am still waiting to hear from them...so no I did not have anything with regards to the expenditures yet, as they will have to investigate how Haliafax handeld the issue...

DD:rolleyes:

The financial closure letter is what you have to argue to the FOS, ie that their response was wrong. However at the moment the FOS can simply say that halifax complied with the waiver.

 

I am getting a lot of these sarcastic emoticons used once I post.......I just wish someone would say sod off my thread cos I can, lol.

Personally £1(or £10) a month until the conclusion of the OFT test case issues and make them aware that you will deal with any repayment plans once the legal certainty has been resolved. You have to remember, you want to make them believe that you are being reasonable offering token payments until such time as the legal case is over with and at the same time making sure that if they shut the account you can complain to the FOS cos you were being reasonable to them.

Hi yourbank,

Thank you for the advice. Sorry to be a pain...

I have to say that this acc has been closed as once I have tried to use it around 2 weeks ago the cash machine kept it in...and that was without any notice...:-o

I will offer them the token payment as you said.. Should I also mention anything to Halifax with reg. to keeping the card??

But thinking about it I believe that once I have said to the new bank to move everything else over form Halifax acc it might have helped in closing the Halifax acc.?.?

Thank you once more for the help.:)

I think if you have used an account transfer service from the new bank, it does normally have a bit where you can close the account so I wonder.......

You don;t have to mention the card at the moment to halifax

Hi there,

I am back with a few questions.:p

First of all I would like to ask if anyone knows anything about CCCS.

 

Once joined CCCS (with about 5 accounts with them), never received any statements. Is that normal????:-?

 

Secondly, is there any chance that to be able to come out of it any time?

 

And third and last point - as finishing work being on the point of getting pension would that be anything I could do to pay less per month???

 

Many thanks,

DD:)

Hi your bank,

 

I have had a letter from Halifax about my offer letter of £1.00 saying to contact a management company as they will not accept my offer unless they receive a New financial statement drafted by Mangament comp or CAB,etc.

Now if by any chance I will use instead of management comp. the Citizen Adv.B. or Trading Office,etc, they will add charges.

 

My question is: why do I have to take a Management company in order to escape these charges ??? and why do they keep aplying charges if I use other companies?????:confused::confused::confused:. I am definetely puzzeled now...

 

I have been with CAB about 2 years ago and they have closed the case as everything was sorted...then I have CCA them, claimed all the charges, and the whole story....etc which CAB doesn't know.

 

Any thoughts?? Many thanks.:cool:

Hi there again,

 

I have a letter from Halifax saying that they are charging (over the 500 aranged overdraft) £28.00 and they will also be adding interests on it.

 

I have written to CAB and still waiting for their reply.

 

Are they entitled to do that??? I was 496.00 in overdraft, then they have applied a £6.47 interest and obviously I went over the arranged overdraft going to- 503... Ihave offered a token payment of £1.00 as I am on JOB Seekers, they rejected it saying that I have to contact the CCCS or similar comp. and now £28.00.

 

What shall I do now????:confused:

Is that a personal bank account?

The letter does not even state why they think that you are not in financial hardship.

The letter is almost like one you would get for a credit card account.

Hi yourbank,

Thank you for looking into it. Yes it is a current acc. They have stoped my card into the cash machine but they have never sent another one, although I did not wish to have anything to do with this bank anymore...

It is a strange one for to see something like that but what shall I do now?

Hi there everyone,

 

Have received the following letter to my curr. acc (I've had with Halifax) as to the date did not received any card they have taken without any prior notice.

As I have written a letter with regards to the new regime of charges as well as complaining about taken the card....

 

I have read the letter and it appears that after almost 1 year of writing to let them know that as I am in financial diff. they have to either stop adding any charges and obviously to return the charges applied since opening this acc. (which I am sure they will not until the 19th Nov...200? when court will decide)

Anyway it seems strange letter to me as it is no case number to refer to the charges nor it is about the new regime....what is it about then???

 

Have a look...

Hi there everyone,

Following my template letter drafted by Bookworm with regards to the £1.00 charge daily on Curr. Acc. I have received the following response:

 

http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/tt173/americaninparis/CurrentAccHalifaxlastletter-1.jpg

 

They have also said on the back of their above letter as it can't be seen, that "As long as you are happy with the way I have dealt with your complaint, there is no need for you to reply to my letter. If I have not heard from you within the next 8 weeks from the date of this letter I will close my file."

 

I would like to close the account once I have paid the O/D but if there is anyone to let me know if Halifax will be charging anything should I do it...and how much?

Thank you,

DD:cool:
