    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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've been following your exploits for sometime, on behalf of all of us,

 

Thank you, to your husband who has supported, to your family and friends who were there for you.

 

You remind us all that when things are dark and overpowering that the needs of the one are answered by the many. Together we can and do move mountains.

 

Best wishes

Your comments have really touched me, this whole fiasco has taken so much from me and my family. The support I have received on here and at home has been truly invaluable and I possibly may have folded before now without it. In return though, I feel it is my duty to see this through and achieve the result I set out to achieve.

 

The judge went to great lengths to prove my case for trespass and did actually rule in my favour in that respect, but awarding nominal damages goes nowhere to discourage unscrupulous creditors from carrying on with these unlawful activities and totally flaunting the law. I'm afraid I just can't let this end here, the repercussions would be entirely ridiculous.

 

Thank you again for your kind words and support x

You could ask for the senior circuit judge to review the case as clearly the judge didn't know what powers he had in a county court.... might be a case against the judge here/

On the contrary, I believe the Judge knew exactly what powers he had, he just chose not to be responsible for the repercussions of ruling in my favour.

 

To be fair to him if he had ruled in my favour his name would be all over everywhere by now and set to be used as 'persuasive' in many, many cases from here on. The politics of this case appear quite clear to me now, if only the law was about justice and not politics things may well have gone differently. Hey ho, I suspect that's just my naivety in expecting a wrong to righted :|

I still cant get my head around section 92 of the cca

 

its in black and white in front of the judge

 

why did he rule against and ignore it ????

From well before the closing submissions the judge was already hinting about an appeal. Whatever his reasons, the judge had decided very early on that this case should be heard 'elsewhere' and not in his court room on that day.

 

I had the wonderful opportunity of cross examining Mr P in the witness box, that in itself was priceless :madgrin: The amount of very awkward silences and mumbled responses was a picture! At one point the judge even said to him 'Mr P, please try to give some kind of answer', and yet he still found in their favour!

so mr p still works for welcome does he

 

not for much longer then

I actually quite liked him, he's a funny man and not quite the confident, all knowing oracle he makes himself out to be! :lol: His 'rabbit caught in headlights' desperate looks from the witness box over to his counsel were very amusing :madgrin:

wow, its taken me most of the afternoon to catch up on your thread!!!! I can't believe you didnt get an outright victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Are you going to file straight away or take a breather? I think you need a breather, but thats just me....

 

I am just reading thru cag, with no issues of my own with welcome, but omg, I cant believe Welcome are actually getting away with things like this...

 

I hope you find the strength to carry on.... You have been so strong and the support you are getting from other caggers in amazing.... Good Luck in your continued fight, I will be watching

Its such a shame that the judge didnt want to take responsibility to make a ruling, from reading your threads I actually think its down right irresponsible of him. He is a judge, that is their job, to make difficult and potentially groundbreaking decisions.

 

I think you are an incredibly brave, strong, intelligent woman with a bl@@dy strong case, (I had tears in my eyes when you told us about getting the car back!!!). I hope you do the right thing for you and your family and a nice holiday could help!!!

 

Good luck in your future battles, from what I have read so far there is no doubt you are a fighter. x

Thank you x I'm kind of glad the judge did it the way he did. The issues in this case were huge and definitely needed more scrutiny than a one day County Court trial could have afforded. I really feel like the ground work has been dealt with and next the real decision will be made in a place where it can actually make a difference.

 

I was genuinely touched reading your comments, you've made my day today thank you :oops: (and it's my birthday too!)

There are many times when I feel less than brave and my strength falters, but my stubbornness always gets me through in the end lol! My children are 6 and 8 and I wouldn't be able to settle if I didn't think I was teaching them to always stand up to bullies and fight for what is right :-)

 

When the trial was over I left the building and got in my car :madgrin:

Thank you for your support, I really do appreciate it. Yes the trial was a travesty but I have taken a lot of positive things from it and shall take them forward into the next and hopefully final round. The trial started at 11am and ended at 4.30pm and during those long hours I learned that I was actually capable of standing up in a huge courtroom and fighting my case against a barrister, a solicitor, a legal compliance officer and one of their witnesses. They sent 4 men to deal with me and they certainly didn't get the whitewash they were hoping for! There were several points they had to concede and several times when they couldn't answer my questions without very red faces.

I am 33 (today) and not particularly tall, so no matter what else comes of this, I already feel a sense of achievement :madgrin:

 

I have 3 weeks to file my appeal so I will use all of that and not rush into anything, as much as I want to lol!

The more I read on cag about the continued devious antics of welcome, the more determined I am to not let them get away with this. They clearly haven't learned anything and are still trying to flaunt the law :mad2: There's even a brand new thread saying they are trying to repo a car without a court order when well over half has been paid!

 

Thank you for your support and I will continue to fight to the bitter end.

Hi Wannabe I hope you had a lovely birthday and took time to recharge those batteries!!!!

 

Good luck with the next stage, I am sure we will all be watching and offering our moral support if nothing else. xx

Awesome, truly awesome.... What you might ask????..... The dedication and support on this forum... It truly humbles me to see that when people really need help, that people will bend over backwards to help them....I started reading thread a few days ago, and have been following it since, and its turned into quite a big one, took me quite a while to get to the Current!!!

 

Wannabe... I hope this gets sorted out, and can say I will definately be following, what I consider a definate WRONGING! When you win your apeal, which I hope to god you do, you can look back on all this and think, you have learned so much through this, and that you will be the one laughing and not those at welcome..

 

Respect to youfor keeping at it, I know how hard it can be, the frustration, the not knowing, and the feeling of non-justice, its caused me many sleepless nights, and has seriously reduced my quality of life...

 

Big Respects to the peole on here, almost brings a tear to my eyes to see people working together like this... Some of the greatest things in this world have come about from the collaboration of people with a common cause, and the results are always immense. There is a lot of bad in the world, and we are led to believe that this is the mass, but really the fabric of our society is to help and to do good... Not everyone, but most people want to do good IMO.

 

Regards

Jamie

Hello, thank you I did have a lovely birthday x

 

I have had a few days to mope and moan and feel sorry for myself but now I'm all set to carry on the fight. It's a shame it's not over but it will be one day, so onwards and upwards as they say :madgrin:

Hello Jamie, I read your comments just before I went to sleep last night and your thoughtfulness and kind words helped me more than you know. It's so easy to forget that the world is full of good people willing to give unselfishly to help others when you're constantly faced with the contrary.

I am forever grateful for the support I have received from all the good people on here, I honestly believe without it I may well have given in to the dark thoughts that tell me to give it up because the little people can't win, irrespective of wrong or right :sad:

 

The truth is if I let this go in favour of the easy life I'll never forgive myself, so chin up....they may have won the battle but they won't win the war! :mad2:

 

Appeal in progress...

It appears my case was heard by a Circuit judge as opposed to a District judge so my permission to appeal will shortly be on its way to The High Court of Justice. Fingers crossed for some justice there, I've heard nothing from the other side in the way of attempting to enforce judgment and I will be requesting a stay of execution pending the outcome of the appeal, so nothing to lose by soldiering on :-)

WOW i have learnt something new i never knew they could go onto your property and reposses like that, the laws seem to change but not tell people thankyou all for showing this, its very scary though:jaw:

 

They can't go on your'e (or even ANY) property and repossess, it is irrelevant how much has been paid, THEY NEED A COURT ORDER (period)
