    • It's Hotpoint (but I believe they're part of the Whirlpool group now?). The part was bought direct from them as a consumer.
    • Thanks BankFodder for your latest, I'm in complete agreement on the subject of mediation and will be choosing to decline mediation, the longer timeline is not an issue for me, I will happily let the going to court run it's course. I really appreciate the support from the Consumer Action Group. I'll post the email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response. Regards, J    email text I'm sending to Evri's small claims in answer to their recent defence response:  
    • Sec127 (3) repealed, now gone. S. 127(3)-(5) repealed (6.4.2007) by Consumer Credit Act 2006 (c. 14), ss. {15}, 70, 71(2), {Sch. 4} (with Sch. 3 para. 11); S.I. 2007/123, art. 3(2), Sch. 2
    • We used to recommend that people accept mediation but our advice has changed. The mediation process is unclear. Before you can embark on it you have to agree that you are prepared to enter a compromise – and that means that you agree that you are prepared to give up some of your rights even though you are completely in the right and you are entitled to hundred percent of your money and even though EVRi are simply trying to obstruct you in order to discourage you and also to put others who might want to follow your example off from claiming and even though they have a legitimate basis for reimbursement. Mediation is not transparent. In addition to having to sign up that you are prepared to give up some of your rights, you will also have to agree not to reveal any details of the mediation – including the result of the mediation – so that the whole thing is kept secret. This is not open justice. Mediation has nothing to do with justice. The only way of getting justice is to make sure that this matter goes to trial unless EVRi or the other parcel delivery companies put their hands up and accept the responsibility even if they do it is a gesture of goodwill. Going to trial and winning at trial produces a judgement which we can then add to our small collection to assist other people who are in a similar boat. EVRi had been leading you around by the nose since at least January – and probably last year as well – and their whole purpose is simply to drag it out, to place obstacles in your way, to deter other people, and to make you wish that you'd never started the process and that you are prepared to give up your 300 quid. You shouldn't stand for it. You should take control. EVRi would prefer that you went to mediation and if nothing else that is one excellent reason why you should decline mediation and go to court. If it's good for them it's bad for you. On mediation form, you should sign that you are not prepared to compromise and that you are not prepared to keep the result secret but that you want to share the results with other people in similar circumstances. This means that the mediation won't go ahead. It will take slightly longer and you will have to pay a court fee but you will get that back when you win and you will have much greater satisfaction. Also, once you go the whole process, you will learn even more about bringing a small claim in the County Court so that if this kind of thing happens again you will know what to do and you will go ahead without any hesitation. Finally, if you call EVRi's bluff and refuse mediation and go to trial, there is a chance – maybe not a big chance – but there is a chance that they will agree to pay out your claim before trial simply in order to avoid a judgement. Another judgement against them will simply hurt the position even more and they really don't want this. 300 quid plus your costs is peanuts to them. They don't care about it. They will set it off against tax so the taxpayer will make their contribution. It's all about maintaining their business model of not being liable for anything, and limiting or excluding liability contrary to section 57 and section 72 of the consumer rights act.     And incidentally, there is a myth that if you refuse mediation that somehow it will go against you and the judge will take a dim view and be critical of you. This is precisely a myth. It's not true. It would be highly improper if any judge decided the case against you on anything other than the facts and the law of the case. So don't worry about that. The downside of declining mediation is that your case will take slightly longer. The upside is that if you win you will get all your money and you will have a judgement in your favour which will help others. The chances of you winning in this case are better than 95% and of course you would then receive 100% of your claim plus costs

    • 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.

Hello everyone,

 

Having browsed the forums I thought I would post my own thread for certain specific advice if at all possible. I have done a bit of research on Central Ticketing Ltd and the appear to not be the most reputable of companies to say the least.

 

Moving on to my actual ticket. I have recieved a "Parking Charge Notice" for £100 (£65 if within 14 days) for being a "None Patron" at the site it was issued on.

 

I was parked for around 20 mins and did indeed leave the site at one point. The car park is a free car park by the way.

 

I am unsure of any evidence the may or may not have collected.

 

The colour of the vehicle is incorrect as is the location. Does this make a difference?

 

The ticket says its £65 within 14 days otherwise £100 in 28 days and if payment still not recieved then £160 and legal preceedings (where further costs will be added). It mentions requesting the RK to give the details of the driver at the time and failure to do so will result in £100 being charged.

 

What specific advice should I follow? Or should I follow the standard advice at the moment. I just looking for a bit of reassurance / advice on my specific case and I am thankful in advance for any help and advice recieved.

I can reassure you that your case is no different to all the other ones on here involving Central Ticketing or any other private parking crooks. Colour of vehicle, location and other "evidence" are irrelevant because it is all a [problem]. Do not even think about contacting them, let them pay the DVLA for the keepers name and address, then ignore everything that they send you, which will include increasingly desperate threats from "debt collectors" [not bailiffs, no powers] and dodgy "solicitors". If you ignore them long enough they will go away.

 

£100 for not telling them who the driver was, thats a new one! :lol:

"It mentions requesting the RK to give the details of the driver at the time and failure to do so will result in £100 being charged." Desperate times for them to say this. Complete bilge from them and a new breach of Consumer Regulations to add to the long list of PPC sins. Ignore them.

Hi all,

 

Many thanks for your advice. So the best option is to sit and wait and see what letter they send.

 

The only other thing slightly concerning me is any photographic / video evidence they may have - not so much of the car (as it was parked legally in a free car park) but of me entering / leaving the car & site etc. Does this make a jot of difference or am I overworrying?

 

Thanks :)

You are overworrying. It makes no difference at all.

Keep ignoring, keep smiling.

Spot on.

 

I was parked for around 20 mins and did indeed leave the site at one point. The car park is a free car park by the way.

 

So their actual loss is £0

No

As posted by other contributers dont worry all Private Parking companies go away after a time.

They cant afford to waste their time chasing money from someone who knows their rights, its much easier to chase some poor $0d who is ignorant of his/her rights.

Hi.

 

As the above posters have noted-its a [problem]. All photographic evidence etc is irrelevent and trying to 'charge' you for not disclosing who the driver is is shocking but not surprising-but it also shows how desperate they are for your money. It also shows how PPCs use bully boy tactics to intimidate people into paying-especially as it was a free car park. They have lost no revenue.

 

Do expect some more correspondence however. These people do not give in straight away. CT may send you some more threatograms followed by some from thier DCA who will send some more. These letters will put the amounts you 'owe' up to bigger levels- again to pressure you into paying. Stand firm and they'll disappear :)

Or you could disclose who you think the driver was? Are you sure you didn't lend your car to Alan Johnson c/o 10 Downing Street ? Perhaps if the home secretary started to see the tat that comes from this unregulated circus then he might actually get on with it!!!

Haha, if I thought that might work I'd try it ;). I'm sure all the government have got plenty of their own tickets!

At the risk of sounding callous - should I avoid parking here altogether if I plan to leave the site at any time or should I not worry myself and collect these Parking Charge Notices like confetti?

 

I have to admit I am a bit worried about parking there again but theres no other suitable parking anywhere near!

You can collect them, but bear in mind the risk of court will increase if you notch up a couple of grand's worth. Small chance they could just take a punt, hoping you won't defend.

 

Central Ticketing are very unlikely to try that though. Never heard of them doing court.

 

If the car park is for customers only though, it is fair that you shouldn't park there if you're not one.

I'm not planning on by the way - was just after an answer as was curious mainly (although I can see it would be rather amusing to collect them as a big middle finger to them).

 

The thing that annoys me is I am a customer at least once a week. And they penalise me for the occassional time I leave the site. That stinks as far as I'm concerned - especially as it was at a time when the car park wasn't even half full!

 

Next question - by being defiant regarding the original Parking Charge Notice they can't do something silly like find my car and stick a clamp on it can they?

Thanks for the clarification letshelp :). I think I slightly worried after reading up on clamping. Having done some research in to alternate locations I have found a couple of small areas without restriction (thank god) however more and more car parks seem to be employing these clowns (or people like them).

 

Am I also right in believing that to clamp you (say for example you were parked there again and overstayed your welcome / went off site etc etc) they would have to have a notice saying about the possibility of clamping?

Yes, and the signs must be clear and prominent.

HELP PLEASE!

 

I parked for 15 minutes in a private residential area in Ediburgh (One of the worst cities in the UK for car parking and congestion!). I Couldn't find a parking slot, came back and found a parking notice on my windscreen issued by Central Ticketing advising I pay £65 within 14 days or face paying £100 within 28 days of the date of issue. The issue reason was "no permit" which i agree. They advise on the ticket that I can appeal, but from this and other posts am not sure if there appeal process is credible.

 

Can you please advise if I shoud pay it or ignore it? Is the ticket a legal document?It makes reference to teh Administration Act 1970 so that may imply these crooks do have some legal powers.

 

If I ingore it, wait and see what they do, should I ever respond?

 

Thanks
