    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

the more I get into all this,the more I dislike banks and credit cards-no sorry,not dislike-despise,that's the word I was looking for.

 

I have still had nothing from the Northern now for the past 2 weeks or so.....It won't look good if I produce a load of correspondence in court which I've sent to the Northern,and which they haven't so much as deemed necessary to even acknowledge.......they are making a rod for their own back,surely?

I sent off a letter to the Northern last week,exercising my right of appropriation of state benefits paid into our account,requesting transfer into another account so that household bills can be met,due to the fact that they are being eaten up by charges and paying off an overdaft which consists entirely of unlawful charges.

 

Terry Shevlin,Branch manager has written back.He wants 2 signatures(my wife as well as myself) for an account which authorises transactions with 1 signature....

 

Also,when this is done,he will "give consideration" to my request.Since when did a bank manager have the authority to "give consideration" to my rights?????

Big big surprise!!!

 

Northern Bank sent a load of stuff this morning.They are paying us £2888.30 in "full and final settlement" of our claim,taking into account £806 in further charges incurred since the claim was lodged.

 

They have also given notice that they are stopping the overdraft and closing the account in 30 days....that's another story of course.They also claim that they consider the 2 years SAR details furnished to us to be the end of the matter.

 

I think not........

 

Rushing to the bank this morning to lift the money and move it across the street to the Ulster :D

I have been hassling them seriously of late,and we were fully expecting account closure.

 

We had an account sitting idle with the Ulster for months,and it's time to move in!!

 

Get stuck in guys and gals,-and I'm not finished with the Northern just yet. ;)

 

Thnx for the congrats-it's been a long struggle,but we are starting to win!!

hey LTWFB,

 

Congratulations first of all. not wanting to hi jack your thread but wanted to query something you wrote on here about track and trace? I sent and SAR to a mortgage co. and a CCA to a DCA which according to track and trace weren't delivered. (wasn't too upset cos I did send 16 Recorded Delivery letters that day!! I figured 87.5% was not too bad going!!) So, I filled in claim forms on Royal Mail website as advised by them and have since sent duplicate letters (complete with P.O's - Is there any way to trace encashment on these things by the way??) If these letters are deemed to have been received despite not being signed for, should I still stick to my original timetable, and what to do about the duplicates?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated if you have a minute to spare!?!

 

Thanx

i think i have seen it somewhere on the royal mail site that you can trace a postal order as long as you have the counterfoil.

this is the general idea of sending POs . with the new computerised postal order system this should in my view be just a matter of taking the foils to the office where you bought them

 

keep checking this thread to see that no-one says only joking.

still can't believe that NB caved in.

it looks like stage 2 starts today-iI gave them 7 days to provide me with the rest of my data(thanks for the info anaconda ;) )

 

no show-so it's off to court website again for the estimated part of the claim.

 

Does anyone have an amended form of words for the claim particulars which reflects that they have defaulted on the SAR and that the claim is for the estimated remainder?

 

help appreciated!!

I've just done a spreadsheet of estimated charges,based on the charges over the last 2 years,for the 3 remaining years which Nothern refused to send me.

 

£1900 plus interest of almost £600 plus court costs!!!

 

From what I have heard,Northern might not be too keen on letting you see what internal memos say about you,judging from what they wrote about one customer I am in touch with.... ;)
