    • His financial situation isn’t great, and the landlord has made lots of things up. The things he’s put isn’t true at all. My friend did tell the full truth with incoming and outgoing, I helped him fill in his form and he checked bills etc. to make sure it was right. His wage is ok, but not as good as the landlord thinks it is,  and he doesn’t have anything spare. How much are they likely to take from him? Should he send any reply?  the letter just says to take the court letter with him. 
    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks

    • 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 people i really need some help and advice.

i have 5 catalogues and have been charged ridiculous amounts of late payment fees over the past 2 years but more to my horror i have been getting charged2 sometimes 3 times a month for

1.late payment fee

2.being in arrears on the account

3.for them sending me a letter stating i owe them money

now to me being charged £12 to send a letter through my door is absolutly ridiulous. i have rang all 5 catalogue companies asking to send me all my statements from all accounts from statement 1 to the present day and have been told its going to cost me £25 to receive this information.

i basically want to know can i recaim these charges and if so how do i go about re claiming them.

if anyone has a link to a form that can be filled out online this would be great.

MANY THANKS xsmile.gif

Hi,

 

I sent you a Private Message with the link to your thread.

 

Please continue to post on this one :)

 

Once you get your statements, total up the charges and put them on a spread sheet and send a prelim letter to your account holders, asking for your charges back, they will more thank likely fob you off saying their charges are fair ect.

 

Just edit this prelim letter to suit...............Send it recorded delivery.

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/48-bank-templates/121-bookworm

 

You should then send them a Letter Before Action giving them 14 days to comply with your request.

 

Let us know how they respond.

 

Regards.

sadly in case you think that will get the debts written off.you've been paying too much attention to the crap these reclaim co's advertise.

 

even if the agreement does not exist or is un-en, it is not some magic bullet that wipes debt out.

 

give us more info and there maybe otherways to help like unlawful fees and mis-sold PPI

i have 5 catalogue companies and am in the process of awaiting a reply from them after i sent a sar letter to them.

 

i have been asked that under the catalogues terms and conditions about the charges was it stated what charges i was going to get.

to be honest i dint read the terms and conditions to do with charges.

i ticked the box online when i opened the account and agreed to the terms and conditions so will this affect me re claiming any charges back as i have been getting charged £36 a month in charges and still feel this is wrong and unfair???

 

thank you x:)

well basically i have been getting charged 2 sometimes 3 times a month on my catalogues these charges have been for

1. missed minimum payment

2. late payment fee

3. debt collection telephone call

4. sending me a letter

5. being in arrears on my account.

 

every month i have rang them and tried to explain that i can only make the payments when i get paid and unfortunalty i get paid after the date they want their payments. i feel being charged £36 a month is absolutly ridiculous and being charged £12 to send a letter through my door is a joke.

 

i have sent them a subject of access letter asking for all my statements i know that i have had one catalogue since 2008 and they can only tell me of charges dating back from 2009 and that has totalled to £144 so god knows what the year before charges were and wht charges total upto on all 5 catalogues.

 

i am awaiting reply from the sar letter i sent them and once they have sent me my statements i think i need to put them on a spread sheet and send them a preliminary letter

 

i need to know though if ticking the terms and agreements box could possibly affect the proces of me aybe claiming these charges back???

No this won't make any difference to your reclaim. As soon as you get your statements, count up every charge, and if you get stuck, let us know. :)

Hiya PB

 

They legally have 40 days to send you the SAR information. How many days has it been so far? It is good you have the proof they received it, but they are known for dragging it out. Chances are you will soon get a nice bundle in the post. If not there is a letter in the template library you can send them, but for now I'm afraid it is just a waiting game.

My son has five accounts with them and is arrears on them all,he got a letter after making a complaint saying he would not get charges back on any account negating and requirement to send letters requesting charges back, so every time a £12/24/26 gets applied he goes staight to court charging them a further £25 court fee on every charge and 8% court fees, its a good idea as they cant win in court and wont turn up or settle before hearings so the balance will eventually be paid off with the court fees, hes moved to switzerland and will return for any hearing dates so should be hillarious when after the first couple of cases the judges start awarding wasted costs orders against littlewoods.

three threads megred

please stick to this one now and refrain from starting new threads each time you have a new issue.

 

if you read back through this thread

the informatiom is here about what now to do

 

as for the PPI, yes you can reclaim that too + interest

 

see the PPI forum homepage and the stickys up the top esp:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?61081

 

you cannot reclaim the interest charged on your purchases, [thats how they make their money] but you can reclaim any interest [at their purchase rate] they have charged you on any unlawful charges & on the PPI.

this you calculate on a monthly basis using:

http://www.egalegal.com/compoundWindow.html

 

from the date of EACH charge [or monthly ppi payment] to the date of your claim

 

rests = 12
