    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • 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.

    • 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 live in Spain and set up what I thought was a direct debit for Sky tv with a third party as you are not supposed to receive Sky in Spain although most ex-pats do. The contract is normally with a fictitious name and address in the UK but using your bank details. Since August I have been trying to cancel and have found out that it was a continuous payment on my current account. When In the UK I went into my branch of Lloyds and explained the situation. I was advised to cancel the account it was coming out of and as the card also expired that month that would solve the problem. The next thing I know I receive a letter from my bank stating that they couldn´t take the money out of this account as it had been cancelled so they had taken it out of another of my accounts obviously without my say so. Since August I have been battling with Lloyds to stop these payments. I cannot cancel Sky myself as I have no idea who is the person the original Sky card was with and Sky won´t speak to me unless I can give these details. Lloyds keep sending me letters saying they won´t take any more money and then bingo next month out it comes again. Their dispute dept is of no use. I have had to wait 50 mins before even speaking to someone and then they treat me as if I was a criminal.

 

Has anyone recently had a similar problem and how did they resolve it?

The only way to cancel is it to lose you current card. The card was replaced due to expiry and backs generally aloow continuous payments to go through.

 

If you were to lose your card and ask for replacement then this should stop ALL transactions.

This card expired and was stopped and the account closed. The bank just moved the payment to a different account!

ah right sorry.

 

normally they ask you if you wanted any direct debits or continous payments carried over to the other account.

 

To stop any future payments then you would need to lose the card that the payments are currently being deducted off then you would need to make a formal complaint to the bank stating that you did not consent to any dds or continous payments being carried over to the new account.

I have done that but the bank will not stop it until Sky tells them to! My money but despite numerous phone calls and letters it still keeps happening. I just want Sky to cut me off. I can then start from scratch again. At the moment it is impossible to view a programme properly as I just have that insane message "insert your new viewing card" every few minutes.

I would say that the only way to stop this in the short term is to change banks completely, I would still fight for the return of the money, if you havnt authorised the payments from your new account I dont see how the bank can authorise it for you. and I also think that Ida's comments are not helpful in the slightest, Sky have not lost out, nothing is being "stolen" and the service is being paid for.

Sky do not lose out but Sky customers do.

 

I am sure most, if not all, SKy customer would rather not have pay for Sky to 'police' fraudulent accounts and would rather have the money knocked off their subscriptions.

If Sky stopped all of the ex-pats that pay for their system they would lose a fortune and most likely the cost to their UK customers would rise. For example we have been paying 48 GBP a month for five years so how are Sky losing out?

I never said Sky would lose out but that's the not the issue here anyway.

 

As advised above you need to make a complain to the bank.

I have been writing to the disputes department but not hte complaints. My Branch Manager said yesterday that she would speak to the disputes dept on my behalf and get someone to phone me back - still waiting! If I was a customer who was overdrawn, had no savings etc I would understand their lack of care but I am not, so why am I treated in such a bad way.

the box has to be paired to the card

 

I have phoned Sky back and they said that they would pair it to the card but nothing happened so she said it could take up to 24 hours. 8 hours still to go! Not hopeful.

Now the disputes department won´t talk to me saying it is up to the branch and the branch won´t talk to me saying it is down to the disputes department even though I have in writing that I will get a refund.
