    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Why can't you just win something without having to text off some stupid code like C6g9jj3aF7k8RR to 80076 heading the text message subject as

 

"I'm a gullible consumer and hope by sending this code off to you that I've won a limited edition coffee cup".

 

Perhaps at 35 I'm an old fart but I can remember simply opening a choccy wrapper to see if I'd won something, or pulling a drinks can to see if it had a winners image under it.

 

I don't wanna text someone - no fun! :-x

Just to cheer you up mungypup, I cried on my 30th! A lot! It was worse when my ba***rd friends sent me cards with giant 30's on them, purely to amuse themselves as they knew I was a wee bit 'sensitive' about it:rolleyes:

 

I got round it by telling anyone who asked that I was 20-10:D Luckily my kids took this and ran with it and still say it when anyone asks my age. I'm 20-12 now;):lol:

 

When I reach 20-19 I'm going backwards...

I know how you feel.

I am waiting for a parcel collection. Collection time between 9am and 9pm!!!!!!!!!:eek:

 

The worrying thing is i have just typed in the tracking number into the couriers site and apparently they have collected the parcel, taken it to the depot and it's now on it's way to the delivery address!!!

 

SO WHAT'S THIS IN MY HALL BY THE FRONT DOOR THEN???????????:mad:

Just out of interest which courier are you using? I'm using HDNL through interparcel.

If you have a tracking number just type it in the site to see what the status says.

I'm just wondering if this is a common problem or if it's just my flamin' luck again!!!

DHL are usually pretty quick although I think it depends how far from the depot you are.

I can tell you that my parcel has just been collected for real about 5 minutes ago!!! Hurrahhhh!!!!! I can out now!!!!!!:D

 

(On the plus side for late collections, your parcel is less likely to get squashed on the van if its last in!!!:))

I ordered the collection/delivery Parcel2Go. Never used them before. DHL are the couriers. I dont know what it is but whenever I have a delivery I am always last on the list!!!!!

 

I placed an order with DHL via parcel2go on monday using the 48 hour service. Finished the order at about 10.30am, and they were on my doorstep picking it up literally 10 minutes later!!! It was at the Brighton depot (which is about 45 mins away from us) at noon.

 

Delivered the next day (in Scotland) at lunchtime, and emails letting me know every step that happened. Superb, and all for well under a tenner:D

 

I've used p2g a lot, but this was the best service yet - plus I got the 5% discount for sticking their logo on my ebay listing:D
