    • Essex trading standards department have now given me a reference and are investigating this man/companies.
    • Good question. Rayner's CGT pales into insignificance really, doesn't it? 
    • Hi everyone,  out of the blue my husband yesterday received a call from the employee who lost the key the first time and asked to settle the bill plus court costs. Apparently the boss said that if he didn't pay he would be sacked. My husband asked for this in writing,  got it and payment followed. So we discontinued the claim and marked as settled. Apparently the employee who lost the keys the second time is paying for the other carpenter's bill plus court fees because he'd started court proceedings as well. So, all is solved. Thanks everyone!
    • With thanks. Updated defence.  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with Halifax PLC part of the Lloyds Group of Companies but do not recognise the specific account number referred to by Claimant and on which its claim relies. To enable clarification a sec78 request pursuant to the CCA1974 was made dated 11 May 2024. The Claimant provided various documents which appear to be incomplete with page numbers missing and incomplete Terms and Conditions. If this is a copy of the original agreement it appears to be unexecuted by the original creditor. 2. Paragraph 2 is noted. I do not recall receipt of a Default Notice which the Claimant refers to within its Particulars of Claim and on which its claim relies. A CPR 31.14 request was made dated 11 May 2024. To date the Claimant has not provided a copy. 3. Paragraph 3 is noted. Although I had not recalled a copy of the Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) I requested a further copy from the claimant which has since been provided in response to the CPR 31.14 request dated 11 May 2024. 4. Paragraph 4 is noted. It is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 6. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • "Testing the stability" ? I suspect the Tesla Map would have picked up that the car was being driven in a car park and the default safety settings required a shut down. Reassuring that Tesla have public safety built in, to try to stop drivers driving in a way that may be risky.

    • 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.

Hi everyone,

I have just registered here and I am writing to see if anyone knows how I can prove that I parked in this Chorlton carpark.

The story goes like this. I parked there about half a month ago , paid in the machine to get a ticket and displayed it on the dashboard. It is one of those machines where you have to enter the registration, so I did all that.

 

Today I received a letter asking me to pay £60 for not displaying the ticket, which is wrong because I did display it. They show a photo of my car entering and going out , which show my registration, but it doesn't show that I have not displayed my ticket!!

 

I have written an email to them straight away as they say if you want to appeal you have to do it before 7 days. And that's where I am at the moment.

could you tell me if those machines hold a record of the registration or cars that pay? Does anyone knows?

 

Any help on this matter will be very helpful, I feel very distressed and worried....:(

Excel - ignore.

 

Thanks to everyone here!

 

Just a question: Do you know if those machines where you enter the registration hold a record of your ticket? Of course, I have thrown my ticket away after a month nearly, and I have no prove whatsoever that I paid for the ticket.

 

I know I should not even think about it any more, but.... it plays on my mind....

 

Gracias

So what? Do you keep proof every time you buy a pint of milk in Tesco and pay by cash?

 

You paid to park, end of. It's up to them to prove you didn't, and even if you didn't pay they're only legally entitled to a couple of quid.

 

I don't think you're getting your head around this [problem].

You are taking them too seriously, forget about your ticket and forget about the begging letters.

Now this could be different - if you have a ticket and it was displayed, then they have wrongly represented themselves to the DVLA in order to get your personal information. When did the ticket fall off, when did someone notice, maybe it fell off when you opened the door.

If you have the right number plate on the ticket - why not try and complain to the Information Commissioners office around unfair processing of your data ? or just ignore them .. it wouldn't stand up anywhere - not the local and certainly not a court.

Where is the proof that there was no ticket .. gawd knows Excel parking ambassadors are profficient in the use of video cameras.

True, but we all know the DVLA will sell anybody's address to anybody.

 

Even if you put "I wish to burgle the owner of this vehicle because I saw his nice Bentley on the high street the other day" on the form.

Thanks to all your posts.

I wrote to John Leech the MP for Chorlton and told him about this [problem]. They know about it as a lot of people have complained. I would like to publicise it as much as I can to avoid other people to get in the same situation and to get rid of them. If anybody is a constituent of Chorlton, you could write to the local paper and tell them all about it. As I am not a contituent of Chorlton, I will not be taken into account.

How does that work then? You're not a constituent of Chorlton so the Chorlton MP doesn't care, but I bet if you write to your own MP they won't care either because it's outside of their area.

The adverts that this forum puts around my username and message are not endorsed by me.

Exactly what I thought.

 

 

funnily enough I have just found out that Excel have started in a little car park in the area I live, so I will contact my MP anyway to get rid of them as soon as possible.

I have written to the South reporter to let them know about Excel, not something new, but more news, more noise.

Here is the link in case anybody wants to write to them too.

 

South Manchester Reporter

Lets hope that if the paper does publish an article about Excel, that they get their facts and terminology right, and don't start talking about "fines" and "illegal parking" when reporting on private parking companies.

Don't forget that in the very remote possibility that it does go to court, it's the county and not the magistrates court. The former deals with such things as people suing each other for debt and other non-criminal matters, the latter deals with criminal cases and parking cases bought by the council.

 

Excel are a private company and cannot take you to the magistrates court. So you employment prospects will not be effected.

dbc,,thank you,,feeling totally reassured,,incidentally you say,,,remote possibility of taking me to court,,, do you know if they have they ever taken anyone in the past?

 

Once or twice , but they lost each time. The chances of them doing it again is the same as you winning the Loto jackpot two weeks running. So just relax.

Relax, you are not that lucky, there are posters on here who have begged Excel and the like to take them to court without joy.
