    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

Got a letter from those lovely people at Cobbetts this morning basically saying although there charges are fair blah blah and how they consider my challenge in court would fail they are offering me a goodwill gesture of £600, about half of what I'm claiming for. :rolleyes:

 

I'm at the stage where we have both submitted our Court Allocation Questionaire and are waiting for a date.

 

I've not read about them making offers at this stage before so is this normal. Do I just send them a letter back saying thanks but no thanks, Im pursuing for all of it? :confused:

they have done the same for me.. its their usual tactics, I am sending them this letter as we speak:

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Many thanks for your letter dated 15th August 2006 in which you state that you believe my challenges to Nat west would fail in Court. Unfortunately I have to beg to differ on this belief especially as Natwest have refused to defend so many other similar cases instead settling fully out of court. Therefore I and am happy to continue to proceed with this matter to press for a full refund of the charges.

 

I am very grateful of your interim payment of £XXXof the full amount and look forward to receiving a bankers draft for this.

 

I am however unwilling to agree to the specific terms and conditions you have added to this namely:

 

1 Not to disclose to any third party the fact of, or any details relating to, this payment;

2 Withdraw my claim

3 That this payment of £650 is a full and final settlement of the claim

 

However once settlement of the full amount of claim is received I may be willing to renegotiate those terms. I would however suggest that A non- disclosure agreement would add further costs for Natwest to the final settlement.

How about - something along these lines -

 

Thankyou for to your letter dated xxxxxxx

 

I am prepared to acceted your offer of xxxx in partial settlement of my claim of xxxx. However I will continue to pursue the remaining monetary value of xxxx. I would expect this to be settled in full unconditionally by XXXXXX (date). If however you feel that this is a matter that needs settling before a district judge then I am fully prepared and willing to present my particulars of claim and all relevant disclosure documents and supporting legislation in xxxxx court, and would expect expect you to provide full disclosure of the true cost of your charges and the reasons behind your requesting myself to keep settlement to myself to the judge.
