    • Hi. Is this a new parking event or have you posted about it before please? HB
    • Hi folks, The keeper received correspondence today from DCBL.  The keeper has received previous correspondence from (Possibly) Parking Eye and Debt Recovery Plus, all of which has been ignored with zero contact with either company. The keeper has moved house twice since the original PCN but has kept DVLA informed of every move and V5 updated accordingly. The driver recalls entering the car park but didn't see any signs indicating payment required. The drivers friend happened to be in the same car park a few days after original PCN was received. Friend is a truck driver and said there is a sign but at truck windscreen height. Driver was in a small vehicle and, due to being careful as to where they were driving, did not see the sign. Original paperwork has been lost while moving but keeper still has scans of paperwork from Debt Recovery Plus. Driver was on site for approximately one hour after a long drive and was resting. After having read previous cases on here, is it still safe to ignore? 1 Date of the infringement 15th September 2020   2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] Unsure    3 Date received A/A 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] A/A 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Driver recalls there was a screenshot of the reg plate, but it wasn’t a very good one.  6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No.   Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up A/A  7 Who is the parking company? Parking Eye?   8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] MFG ESSO Cobham Gravesend  DCBL 30:04:24 Redacted.pdf
    • Hi all, hope you can help. I've received a £4k repair estimate from the main dealer after my 2016 F30 330e developed the dreaded drivetrain error. The qoute is for a replacement cell module and associated labour and various bits and bobs to get it done. I initially had them investigate the issue when it first popped up a year ago. They replaced the auxillary battery which 'fixed' the issue for a few months before returning. Last Novemner the issue escalated to 'Battery not charging' which would clear after powering off the car , and disappear. Took it into the dealer and they diagnoised a faulty high voltage battery under the boot but could not do any work as they needed to schedule more cars for this 'specialist high voltage work'. So they said I could continue to drive the car until they got in touch when the car could be booked in for repairs. Roll on to April, the issue became severe (battery not charging error not going away, car in limp mode one morning) and car completly died at a traffic light same day (dashboard flashing all over the place), couldnt engage in 'Drive' and had to be recovered by AA to the dealer. Turns out car was now only running on the 12v battery in the boot and that had run flat as the hybrid function had stopped working altogether. My question is whether this is a reasonable estimate. Could this be done cheaper elsewhere? The dealer has servived this car from new hence took it them in the hope they'd not point fingers at any other party. Should I be paying for this at all since I raised the issue with them before it escalted and resulted in a now expensive fault? I also suspect the KLE may have gone too based on other posts, but the dealer hasnt qouted for that yet. I worry they'll' 'discover' that after I've already shelled out for a new cell module and end up lumbered with another bill to replace the KLE. Feels like I know about what they need to do than they do. The Service Advisor has been completely useless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • 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.

Excellent S4

 

DCL are quite keen on the court process, I didn't think they would fancy explaining themselves in court.

 

this will offer encouragement to other who get a claim form for a couple of hundred quid and no worthwhile particulars of claim

 

Well done :D

Well now i'm really confused!

 

Just rang the court to see if DCL had submitted any points of dispute. The court said not and time for them to do this had now elapsed.

 

I was filling out the Certificate to send back and following the guidelines when it said I needed to include 'the order awarding costs'. I assumed this would be sent to me when DCL didn't reply with there points of dispute so I rang back the court to see if this had been sent. The court advised me that the 'order awarding costs' would have been sent originally if the court had awarded costs, but as the claim had been struck out I could not claim costs. Is this correct?

 

If anyone could advise that would be great.

 

cheers

Have read through those threads but still none the wiser. Those threads and CPR seem to indicate I can claim but the court is telling me I can't.

 

Can anyone give me any clarification?

 

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to CAG Vicky

 

If they are being paid by debit card you will need to report it lost/stolen. As for standing orders they will set up for all sorts of figures. Some banks think they look iffy and their fraud dept will contact you to see if you are happy with it. Failing this you will need to keep a close eye on your account. The safest way with this company is a new bank account as they have been known to set up a standing order and take payment on the same day. Once your income is safe you can negotiate and they do accept low figures each month. As you will see from this thread they do issue court claims but unlikely they will follow it through if you challenge them like on this thread!

Good luck

 

As for charges warn you bank in writing not to accept any mandates from this company. It may not work but give you some ammo if they charge you.

Hi Vicky,

 

Robjam has given good advice about your bank account, I too did not want to change as I would have had trouble getting one with a visa debit etc. The best thing to do is just keep your eye on your bank account to make sure they do not set up a standing order, and if they do just cancel it. Internet banking is usally helpful, I checked mine daily for four months just to make sure.

 

Send a letter to the company revoking the right to set up any standing order on your account, and send a copy to your bank and ask for a response from both to ensure this has been done.

 

I will run you through stage by stage what happened with my account with DCL.

 

I took out a loan for £165 and rolled over paying approx £40 per month interest for 5 months. Total paid to them £200.

 

I cancelled my debit card, and sent them the telephone harrassment letter to stop them contacting me at work etc.

 

They then sent a couple of letters saying I owed £465 including charges, I then sent the CCA Request letter including a breakdown of charges. In the meantime they tried to set up three standing orders on my current account which I cancelled so no payment was taken. I then wrote to the Financial Ombudsman.

 

They sent back the CCA, but no breakdown of charges, and court papers claiming £465.

 

I completed the acknowledge of service and sent them a CPR 31.14 (i think) asking for a copy of the Credit agreement and charges, they never sent this.

 

I submitted my defence to the court including the fact they had not replied to my CPR31.14, all about the fraudulent standing orders and the fact I had already paid £200 which I felt covered the orginal £165 plus fair interest.

 

They failed to pay the fee for the hearing, the claim was struck out.

 

I then claimed costs for time I had spent researching, filling out forms, replying to correspondence etc.

 

Court granted my costs and I got a cheque for £200 yesterday.

 

So my advice would be stick with it, if you have paid back a lot more than the original £300 I would write to them and tell them this, if they threaten to take you to court, explain to them you will see it all the way through, and claim costs if they do not.

 

Sometimes I think court action is best because at least them the matter is dealt with, but that is just my opinion.

 

There are plenty of kind people on this site who will help you along the way!

 

All the best and keep your chin up.

Thankyou so much for your advice with this, ive been thinking about it alot ive read through all the comments on this thread and ive decided im going all the way this time, these companies are no better than loan sharks even if they have a ''consumer credit licence'' im sure that ive paid them over £500 and my inital loan was only £300 i think this alone would stand up in court their interest rates are just unbelievable but as you all know when your desperate they take advantage of you. I have just made yet another £60 payment to them but ill be ready next time, ive rang my bank who are sending me out a new debit card, i will also get the telephone harrasment letter out to them just before the next payment is due and then ill hit them with the letter refusing to accept any standing order mandate set up by them. I have searched my emails and found the original email thats states to leave the standing order mandate blank - why i did not see through this i dont know, i will then go from there, ill keep you all posted!

Could you give me the best correspondence address for them? do you advise i send all my letters recorded delivery??

Many thanks again for your help with this, this forum is soo helpful and makes you realise that your not alone!

Hi Vicky,

 

Good for you standing up to them!

 

THe best address is 834 Dunstable road, Luton, and yes always send everything recorded delivery and dont for get to send your £1 fee if you are requesting a copy of your credit agreement.

 

Keep a record of what you have sent and who signed for it, ref nos etc. A spreadsheet worked best for me.

 

Good luck!
