    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 All,

 

I apologise if this is not the correct section to post this query.

 

My missus has recently noticed 4 transaction on her Abbey current account that have not been made nor authourized by us.

 

The only card linked to this account is a Abbey visa debit card.

 

We phoned abbey to advise them that we did not carry out these transactions. They said that they will mark them as "disputed"

 

One week later we have received aletter informing us to return the goods that were damaged/not as described and contact paypal and follow their proceedures to get the matters sorted.

 

They were baniong on about paypal when we were initially reporing the transaction which I felt was odd. We stressed to them that we do not have a paypal account.

 

i am not to sure what bit of the :

 

we have note made/placed these orders

there are no goods

we do not have a paypal account

 

they do not understand.

 

its like dealing with a brick wall - in fairness that may be a bit harsh towards the inteligence levels of brick walls.

 

Any advice on what our best cause of action is.

 

We tried phoning them to explain that they seem to have the "wrong end of the stick" and we felt the transactions were fraud.

 

they just then said "oh you will have to put it in writing"

 

i have started to pen a letter however any suggestions/legal snippeds to put in etc would be welcomed,

 

cheers

Hi yub,

 

Didn't their system alert you?

 

Fraud Monitoring: Santander

 

I would stick to the facts and pursue it from their, send the letter to their fraud department. Once you've done that, if you get no joy report back. I think they will refund no problems. Point out that you have no Paypal account, give them permission to check.

hi both,

 

during our last call we did get them to acknolege that the transactions were fraud.

 

However they would not transfer us to the fraud dept - just the "put it in writing" line

 

generally speaking what if any comeback do we have bearing in mind this is a debit card not credit.

 

I work in retail and we get the dreaded "charge back" letters from our bank. if we can not prove in 14 days (with paper trail evidence) that the goods went to the registered address and were signed for etc we lose our money and it gets refunded.

 

this is what we want to get moving with these transactions,

 

thanks again,

I'm thinking if you start 'charge back' they will think your carrying out a fraud, as you stated that the transactions weren't carried out by you.

cancel the card ! use the card cancel number on that website above.

 

 

when they ask why - tell them you have had several un-auth transactions that they are doing nothing about and you do not want anymore.

Hi,

 

i use the term "charge back" generically as the letters at work we receive come from the "charge back" section.

 

As a retailer we are told that unless we post only to the registered card address and get a signature or we get a full pass with verified by via / secure mastercard etc then we are liable if a transaction gets queried. This is why I use that term.

 

we did not make these orders/purchases and I know that as a result the vendors concerned could not provide the relevent paperwork to satisfy abank.

 

All I want is the monies to be returned to our account

 

cheers

Hi,

The other thing you can do is report it to the police, see if you can get a crime reference number that you can include in your letter. I think you have a fear of not being believed, but you need to get this letter off sharpish, just follow their procedures.
