    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

You should read other threads; all these questions have been answered many times before. In particular, read the CAB report that is stickied - it makes RLP modus operandus clear, and also makes clear that apart from 3 cases (all involving employee theft), they have never gone to court.

So, as a further update to this thread, today's the day that the 'offer' finally expires after three weeks of this problem shadowing me. It's a long process to go through with more to come and hope it's worth it for me but also to everyone else in both the present and the future. Expecting the second letter to arrive pretty soon... I'll give another update once it comes through as well as ignoring it.

 

I've decided to not contact TK Maxx head office by sending a letter and explain the situation as of yet.

 

ScarletPimpernel, as a member of the site team (being genuine), I thank you for your support of reassuring me and will continue to go against RLP. :)

 

As for maximas, to help reassure you, just ignore the letters and do some research around the forum. It should give you an idea of how to combat the problems that you will face. Remember, you can follow this thread but you can also post your own thread to get answers that fit your circumstances. :)

I received my second letter last week through the post on the same day as this thread reply post. However, the letter was dated around the beginning of the week before! So lost a few days payment (if I was ever going to pay)!

 

However, I'd like to point out a very significant and important thing that you many fellow CAGgers may like to know, if this is new.

 

Towards the end of the letter, there seems to be a paragraph about the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). They seem to be a little more aware of what they're doing? What the paragraph includes is about personal data being held on a database for their clients, the Courts etc. No information held if below sixteen years old. Information held for three years for people aged sixteen and seventeen years old and six years for those eighteen or over.

 

There is also a box with information on if you are concerned with how RLP handles the data at the bottom of the letter. They even go on to say that you can contact the Information Commissioner's Office if the problem is unresolved when you have contacted RLP first!

 

Apart from that, for future reference, if you do get caught for whatever reason and civil recovery is likely to be used against you and the Police are not involved, try and improvise on the spot with a made up address that sounds convincing and a fake signature maybe? You can't make up your name due to being asked for ID, but you could try? (Just give something that doesn't have your address on it. This can be a way to make sure RLP doesn't have full accurate details about you? Just a suggestion...)

 

Anyway, RLP seems to use very good high quality A4 paper and professional letter style templates for a [causing problems] company... Like the new, updated look of the forums too. Until next time...

The timeframe for which I "have to pay" runs out today with the full payment in two weeks demand with my second letter.

 

So, I'm expecting a third and final letter from them before they refer me to a debt collector (when it isn't really but unjustified charges). Hopefully, I'm getting towards the end of my case pretty soon and just hope they'll go away with such a rubbish case they have against me (in my opinion with little evidence apart from CCTV that should have been expired if kept within law requirements) and move on from a painstaking chapter of my life!

 

As a teenager, I can say many of us learn from our mistakes and I won't be letting this be a repeat in my life ever again as well as many other people! Just hope RLP are not up to anything we all don't like (such as making us surprised in the future)... :S

I received my third letter today, from the date of this thread reply post.

 

Are they taking another approach to things? I don't know.

 

The third letter entails details about the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) and similar information from my second letter, telling me that the information that is held about me is available to prospective employees, etc. They again, threaten me with court action, should I not settle the claim. Most importantly, they are now saying that interest is accruing on a daily basis of 8% per annum. (Is this new? It also doesn't make any sense either...) The letter then goes on to say that I have a final fourteen days to pay and failure to pay will result in further action without further notice.

 

Until next time, the battle still goes on...

Are they making it sounds as if failure to pay will result in your data being made available to others & if you do it won't?

 

As for the claim that interest is accruing you can treat that with the contempt it deserves ..... it isn't as only a court can award such interest

Well, it's been a long time since my last update and my third letter from RLP with a final 14 days to pay already expired over a week ago, before this thread reply post. I guess the next stage is for a debt company like JB Debt Recovery to start sending me letters of demand.

 

One question I have in mind about this is how long it takes before I start to receive letters from JB Debt Recovery?

 

Otherwise (and hopefully), it will look like everything is/will be going well with them deciding to forget it and just give up, as it seems like that at the moment. (I just hope I haven't jinxed it now that they haven't forgotten and can now move on in life and that I don't get a surprise from them in the future when I'm turn into an adult!)

 

Anyway, I will still keep updating for you guys if anything turns up and also still help others out with my current experience for those who are victims in both the present and future. :)

Tell them that there's no point in you paying them because your still a minor & cannot enter into a contract AND if you did pay you would be perfectly entitled to demand it back + interest

 

I didn't know about that in the second half of the sentence. Thank you for that. :)

This isn't an update that I usually do but I still have not received any other letters from RLP as of yet or from any companies like JB Debt Recovery.

 

At the moment, it still therefore seems as if they have given up. I'm still going to be patient and wait if one comes through though. (I just hope this is coming to an end!) From tomorrow, the next day after this thread reply post, it will have been two weeks since my third and final payment demand deadline came to an end.

Payment or not your details will still be on their data base

 

I know what you're saying and am aware of that as well as what can happen to it (i.e. mistaken for terrorism, etc.). Over time, this data will be out of date. Personally, the "lesser of two evils" would be the database as opposed to the money, because they are only allowed to keep my details for three years as I'm only 17 at the cause of the incident and if they didn't keep within the Data Protection Act, then one day, they will be caught for their own "wrongful actions" when we can finally sue them for money in the future. :)

So, it has been a while since I last updated this thread post.

 

Good news so far! I've no letter from any third-party debt collector yet and it's been nearly a month since my final deadline for payment from my third and final RLP letter! This Thursday (marking one month since my final deadline), I'm going to officially close this thread by not issuing anymore updates, meaning that I will have assumed that RLP has given up on me, if that is the case then.

 

I'd like the opportunity to say thank you to all members in this wonderful and fantastic community of this forum who have helped me and given me confidence in dealing with this problem that I found threatening and a burden, especially JonCris, an excellent mastermind in the world of RLP (and keep up the good work!), otherwise I wouldn't have been able to cope!

 

Maybe it's time to safely say that this situation/story will be one of the few on the forum that has a happy and final ending that people will know about (unlike many others that didn't even have an ending and leaving it a mystery) and can also now finally move on in life.

 

However, that's not all. I will be here to help many others who will be in similar situations like mine from now on, to repay for what I have been given.

 

Closing this thread post doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not in any more trouble with RLP but does mean I will be extra vigilant if anything further unexpectedly appears from RLP, hence, more updates will be continuously posted when opportunities arise.

 

So, to all contributors of this forum, keep up the fantastic work for years to come and until next time on Thursday, I'll hopefully be posting my final update and closing this chapter of my life forever...

hi I just receive my third letter from rlp and waiting for JB debt recovery.

 

Don't worry about this part of the process. You might end up lucky like me and never ever get anything!

 

However, if you do get one, look for words like "considering" and "may". By looking around in the forum, I've learnt that it means that the debt collector will definitely not be doing anything at all!

 

Good luck with your situation! :)

[FINAL UPDATE]

 

Well, today's the day that marks one month since my deadline from the third and final letter from RLP. From then to this day, I have not received any other letters at all, including third-party debt collectors.

 

Thanks to ignoring the letters that I've received as advice given to me, I'm going to definitely say that it does seem that RLP has given up on my case (that I personally said was useless to claim against) and officially close this thread post from further updates. However, feel free if any of you guys want any further help in any way as I'll still be around to help repay for the help and advice given to me as well as many othet contributors.

 

However, some of my data will be on their database, whether paying up or not. I chose not to admit my guilt as it is considered to some people. But this should only be on there for three years maximum (as I was 17 at the time of the incident). If we ever truly find out that RLP does not stay within the Data Protection Act (which is very likely), then one day, we shall claim against them but also against how costs they demand are unjustifiable as well as including demands for large amounts of cash from juveniles!

 

I'd like to again say thank you to all who contributed in helping my situation, especially JonCris, who has been a tremendous help.

 

Like I've said before, I'll be extra vigilant if anything else turns up regarding this issue in the future and I'll report it here when necessary.

 

For those reading in the future, I hope my case will help you in many forms (as I want it to) and please do read elsewhere in the forum for extra help and reassurance and good luck in dealing with your own situations.

 

Civil Recovery is meant to act as a deterrent to you but also many others and I've definitely learnt my lesson (as a teenager) to try and not get into this mess ever again. I hope this will be the same to you guys too.

 

So, here's to a happy ending and close to a terrifying chapter of my life (for now) and I offer appraisal to the community of this forum…

Any further development?

 

didnotdoit, to this day (the date of this thread post reply), I have still not received anything else from RLP or any third-party debt collector (thank goodness).

 

Hope that this case will be the same for you. All I did was accept the advice to ignore the letters and to not contact them at all. Even then, if you do face something in the future, there will always be somebody at hand to help you in this forum. Good luck! :D
