    • Hi I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof? 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No    Have you had a response?  n/a 7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice'  
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.    
    • Evening all,   So today, I was sent an updated offer that includes the £12.60 I spent on letters, but they have declined to add the interest at £7.40. They have stating 'We acknowledge your request to claim interest to date, however, this would be at the discretion of a trial judge if the claim did proceed to a trial hearing.' I think I am content with this outcome, and pushing this to a trial for a total interest of £15.30 throughout the claim does not make sense to me.   What are people's thoughts? I am sure our courts have better things to concentrate on?

    • 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.

I recently realised I had a few old mobiles around the house so did a quick internet search to find which phone recycling companies would give me the top price. Selloldphone.co.uk offered £168.00 which was quite easily the most competitive and so I took the offer. I sent the phones a couple of weeks later and received a cheque for £100.00. Presuming an admin error I phoned them up and they claimed one of the phones was in fact broken which it certainly wasn't when I sent it and that the other had reduced by £40.00 in market value!

I then requested if this was the case they return the phones to be told it would cost me £15.00 and they couldn't guarantee I would receive the same phone back.

 

Obviously I'm very disappointed by my experience with this company and the main aim of this post is to warn others off. If anyone can offer me advice however as to where I stand with this and can give me a solution as to how I can get the £168.00 as originally offered I'd be more than happy to pay them£10.00 or make a donation to a charity,

It was offered it after I completed their online form, I received an invoice confirming the amount but was required to return it with the phones I sent back.

I always use this website they are very helpful throughout the order by keeping me up to date and found they paid a lot faster than any other buyer, up to date i have sold around 50 phones in various conditions and have never had any problems i just place an order, send the phones of then get my payment straight into my bank around 2 days later.

 

If you want a first class service use sell that mobile i have not heard anything negative and i was actually recommended from a friend who owns the local phone repair center also uses them regularly.

 

I have googled greener tomorrow and i personally wouldnt use them.

I've had the same experience with this company.

 

I was offered £88 on their website for two blackberries. One was in pristine condition.

 

Four weeks later I received a cheque for £58 and told that one of the BB (pristine) was damaged. This is absolutely not true. I was also told £5 would be deducted off each phone for missing chargers - which I had not been asked for.

 

All data has been removed from my account even after log in.

The telephone doesn't work.

There is no reply to emails.

 

I'm not bothered about £30. Being ripped off does though, big time.

 

Someone stop this guy!!

If 'Turkishmicky' from post 4 is not an employee or owner of these websites then I'm a monkeys uncle.

 

Signing up just to make a comment like that, bit obvious.

I think thats another reason to avoid the site if they have to leave false reviews to get people in.

I had the same experaince with this mob. I was told 55quid for my phone so i sent it to them. 6wks later I get £26. I have emailed them 3 times now and not had a reply. I'm the same as the other guy. ****ed off being ripped off. I want to rip his head off. If i was closer i would be on his door step right now.

Hello; just to re-iterate the sentiment about selloldphones AKA Greener Tomrrow LTD.

I send them a perfectly working phone with a brand new screen with no scratches and they offered me £72 online. I sent the phone via Special delivery, and received an email informing they had received the phone a day later and would process payment and i would receive a cheque within 7-10 days.

 

Unfortunately, i received nothing after 2 weeks. I emailed them and recieved the standard response that they would call me asap.

I emailed them a further 5 times with my tracker number asking again for a call to let me know what going on. They did not respond.

 

I eventually received a cheque over a month later for £50 informing me the screen and keypad were damaged so they were not able to send the full amount.

 

I have never sold an old phone i tend to pass them on to younger family members, but this time thought i would try one of these companies out. I doubt i will ever use any online company again.

 

I did try and call but never got through. These guys are cowboys, and i sincerely hope they get ripped off as much as they have been ripping people off.
