    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

Thankyou Bookworm; that's a great letter. Now, I want to send it - i NEED to send it! BUT. What do you think the likely response will be? What if they write back and say "Ok, off you pop, we're withdrawing your overdraft facility with immediate effect?". I don't have the money to repay it.

Cancel them all, then call your creditors and explain there was a mishap and your DDs got cancelled and can they send you a new form so you can give them the new details, please? :razz::-D

 

Better still, change the DD to SO so you can then get the dates to match when your wages come in. For some of them, the date might be a problem if it means missing a payment (credit cards for example), but loans and utility companies are usually fairly flexible if you communicate with them about it.

I know how to move them, it's just that if I switch them to before next payday, there wont be any money there to pay them when they're due! This is how I work - I'm up to my limit, I get paid, DDs, SOs, manual transfers/DC bills get paid, then I have a bit to last a week or so, and I'm up to my limit til next payday. Will need to sit down with a calendar and a pen and paper and think hard.

 

OH gets paid weekly, so we're not broke all month after the bills have been paid, btw!

Apart from writing letters of complaint, those of us who do not have an overdraft (but ocassionally use the facility) could move our accounts to banks who still charge interest rather than a fixed daily fee.

 

Anyone know of such accountgs still available?

I am not a lawyer, so all my advice is provided on the basis that you will check them with a trained legal professional with legal insurance.:(

I have written to the Halifax using the template letters, as well as copying this to my local MP, the FSA and OFT.

 

Got a response from my MP saying that she had written to them for further details. I then received call from the Halifax, who, believe it or not seemed quite shocked at my letter, saying that I was the only one of over 20,000 customers who had written to them!

 

Anybody else written to them? :confused:

I spoke to a lady at their call center who claimed for the most part customers are "thrillled" and "welcomed" the changes...

 

Wish I had it on tape.

 

If I was being a horrible person (which I'm not) I might possibly comment that she's working in a call centre for a reason.

 

No independant thinking allowed, reciting from FAQ's or 'gospel' statements from management.

hiya all

 

what springs to my mind is that is it the essence of just letting each complaining customer know that they must be the Special One that they are the only that is complaining, in the hope they wont take it further and stay and pay the upcoming fees

 

This has made me so cross that i think when i do my letter i will be sending a copy as a copy also sent to my local paper as well as Local MP, FSA and OFT,,, anyone else i should copy in?

 

no doubt i will get a reply as they need 4 weeks to reply back to me as per the FSA complaint handing proceedures,,, which by then the charges will start,

 

anyway have a fun weekend everyone, united we stand is the way to go

 

laters angel x:cool:
