    • 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
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

Hey guys, new here !

 

I have now requested my bank statements for the past 6 years from Halifax..to which I have paid £5 for.

 

I have heard allot of people say that they have been sent them & all transactions are in 'code' & you cant understand them ?

 

Some have no charges listed on them..

 

I didnt mention to them when I called that I wanted these included.. do they have to provide details on my statements of these charges ?

 

Also is there anybody who has had thier money back from Halifax as yet ?

 

Cheer is advance . I really want to do this but I dont want to mess it up..

 

Lisa :-)

Hi Lisa, it looks like people that have followed the FAQ instructions to the letter have all received a full payout. I'd get yourself acquainted with the step by step instructions, they're so good and it makes it far less daunting than it would otherwise be.

 

I'm in the same boat as you in that I requested my statements yesterday.

 

Good luck :)

Im really nervous Im going to fluff it up.. Im not the brightest of sparks !!

 

I have just read the bit about people making mistakes with these claims ? One of them is not claiming back for interest occured..

 

This is something that will really confuse me & I wouldnt know where to start..

 

Is is hard ? On your statements does it clearly state how much interest ?

 

Im thinking this will be very confusing & if I do get it wrong, could that mean bad news for me ?

 

cheers guys..im so nervous & I havent even got my statements back yet !

Blimey, you could worry for England! Calm down, deep breath ....and relax.

 

There are 2 instances of interest you can claim:

 

1.When you go overdrawn the bank will charge you interest, perfectly lawfully.

 

However, if part of your overdraft is made up of penalty fees, they are also charging you interest on these too and it is this interest which you are entitled to claim back, but it's tricky to separate out from the total interest figure.

 

Vampiress has a spreadsheet, (the advanced one), in the bank templates library, which attempts to calculate this

 

It's quite complex and unless your claim is large may not amount to that much, so for simplicity's sake, some people don't bother

 

This is the interest referred to in the preliminary and LBA letters.

 

 

2. Section 69 8% interest on your claim, but only when you submit a claim at court. Don't add this interest before moneyclaim

 

 

Hope this helps and hasn't made things worse!!!

thanks for the resonse !

 

Well it sure doesnt take much to confuse me..!!

 

Where do I find this Bank Templates Libarary everyone keeps talking about ?!

 

If I dont claim for the interest It doesnt matter does it ?

 

Instead of messing it up, as it will be very little, I would rather just leave it out !

 

Ive got a feeling Halifax are going to drag thier heels with the statements..

 

Argos Card Services wanted to know why I wanted my statements..

 

I told them that actually it was none of her buisiness why I wanted them ! cheeky cow...

 

they know whats coming dont they !!

I received my statements quite quickly, 97 pages of them. They did not drag their heels, I have requested my money back - stage 1, and they took 16 days to reply, they have offered me £100.00 "in full and final settlement" ...I think I will wait and get thousands I think they owe!

I am also very confused by everything, and very worried asbout it all but I am determined to get my money back...then we are after the TSB, HSBC, credit card companies etc!

If I have been of any help to you please be kind enough to click on my scales! Thank you

Read it all now.. im still confused on a few things.. I have aslo read a few threads & found people are updating us with cases that have been won.. good to hear..

 

I am worried that by the time I have my statements & sent the 1st letter that they would of found a way to get out of it/.. How long have has it been since the 1st claim was made ? They must be pulling thier hair out as news is spreading fast, hence more £££ being paid out..

 

And yet charges remain the same..people are still being charged hurrendous amounts from banks etc..

 

How come they havent stopped ? Or at least reduced them ?

Contract law would have to be altered, they are the ones on the back foot, they dont want a single case to go to court, they have paid out because they have charged us unlawfully.

 

 

And yet charges remain the same..people are still being charged hurrendous amounts from banks etc..

Yup, Cos they are making something like 3billlion a year from us in charges, they wont stop till they are forced to.

 

How come they havent stopped ? Or at least reduced them ?

A good question!

 

Good luck lisa, glad things are becoming clearer for you. Keep us posted

It is estimated that they make between £1 Billion and £4 Billion in charges per year.

 

Even if they "only" make £1 Billion and the total paid out to this users of site and all other similar sites, plus all others also claiming is £10 Million (which is unlikely, probably nearer half that in truth) then it represents only ONE PERCENT of what they made just last year alone based on the lowest estimate!

Guest NATTIE

My advice would be to list the name of the charges or codes you do not understand and others will help to unscramble the code. Or try a google search under the codes and charges.

I didn't have any trouble working out which were charges as they were all clearly marked CHARGES AS NOTIFIED

The prices crept up over the four years, I've banked with them from £30 to £39.

The only thing that I found with Halifax is that if you incurred more than one charge a day, they lumped the totals together under one charge.

Halifax settled

Halifax (again) settled

Nationwide settled

Natwest settled

Don't forget to donate to this site, they gave us the backbone to put up a fight, we've learnt how to reclaim our rights and proved banks are all nothing but........ rubbish <wink>

Hi Lisa

I sent my request on 18th Aug too (to Halifax), they are going to be very very busy! I spent around a week just reading everything over and over before I decided I should go ahead and printed loads of info off so I could find it easily. It is daunting and scary but the more you read and familiarise yourself with the process the less scary it seems.

 

Let me know when your statements arrive and Il let you know. I tracked my letter I sent them, its not been signed for yet so Il check it again tomorow.

Good luck and chill out or youl be a wreck by the time your cash comes back to you!!

Well guys I have had my statements through pretty quickly..

 

Have figured I have paid out £377.00 over past 6 years. I am still waiting for my Halifax Visa Statements, also from my Egg Card & Argos Card..I know they are going to be hurrendous!

 

I am just about to do my spreadsheet..does this simply have to state date & amount charged ? & then total it up ?
