      G24 anpr PCN - Double Dipping - Wigan Robin Retail Park

      By FTMDave · Posted

      T911, Nick, thanks, I got there in the end! Without boring you with the details, it is precisely the most ridiculous cases that end up being lost - because the Cagger knows the other party's case is rubbish so doesn't do the necessary work on their own case. G24 are well aware of double dipping.  They have either done it deliberately or else have cameras which can't handle multiple visits to the car park which G24 happily leave malfunctioning so the £££££ keep rolling in. Sadly most people aren't like you.  I've just read various reviews for the Retail Park on TripAdvisor and Parkopedia.  Virtually all of them are complaining about these unfair charges for daring to spend time & money shopping in a shopping centre.  Yet no-one is refusing to pay.  They moan but think they have been fined and cough up. G24 are unlikely to do court, but it's not impossible with two tickets. Try to get evidence that you were elsewhere at these times. Often retail parks will intervene, but I've Googled & Googled and cannot find an e-mail address for the place.  Could the manager of one of your favourite shops give you a contact e-mail address for the company that run the retail park? Right at the moment I'm supposed to be teaching someone who runs two shops at the local shopping centre, but I'm not as he has had to go to a meeting with the company that runs the shopping centre, so I know for a fact that these business relationships exist!!!

      DVLA Cannot show my driving license information

      By Man in the middle · Posted

      I think you need to tell us what actually happened. Your original post gives the impression that you were taken to court for a speeding offence. But you go on to say that you received no paperwork. So you could not have been summonsed for a speeding offence because the police had no evidence that you (or anybody else) was driving (and it seems you were not anyway). You were probably summonsed (or more likely received a Single Justice Procedure Notice) for "failing to provide the driver's details." You would not normally be banned for this offence if you were convicted - it carries six points. So did you have any earlier points which meant you were liable to a "totting up" ban?  If you were originally convicted (as it seems you might have been) how was that conviction set aside? Did you perform a Statutory Declaration? There is simply too much missing for any meaningful help to be given. It seems as if there may have been an error by the DVLA but before you consider suing those idiots until the cows come home, you need to explain exactly what has happened.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 Slick,

The person that supposedly bought me the membership as a birthday gift stopped payments for it.

They then started sending me letters, I explained to them it was a birthday gift but they kept sending me the letters and yes I paid them because they said I was defaulted and a credit risk. After paying them I checked with experian and there was no such thing on my credit report. Guess I should just swallow this one then EH????:|

Hi SJ,

 

Guess I should just swallow this one then EH????:|

Absolutely NOT !!

 

But can you please read the specific Q's I asked above and answer them fully. If you give us enough info, I'm sure we can get them to refund the £480, or at least some of it. :-)

 

For instance, in Q1 above, I asked "Do you have letters ........etc" You have simply said they sent you letters. I want to know if you still have the letters.

 

In Q2, I want to know why you paid the full annual m/ship fee in one go instead of £40 pcm.

 

Give some detail in reply to Q3 as well if you want your money back.

 

These gyms and their administrators prey on peoples fear and lack of knowledge in such matters and have effectively obtained money from you to which they had no entitlement. :evil:

Hi Slick,

Yes I do have some of the letters still and can probably find more of them.

 

I paid it in full as the person that was buying it as a gift did not carry on payments so they started sending me letters saying I was in default and registration of my debt had been handed to credit reference agencies, and I was now classified as a credit risk.

 

I have since checked with experian and there was no such default against me.

Hi SJ,

 

Now you're an expert at scanning, yes, I'd like you to post up one of the letters from Ashbourne which demanded payment of the full year's m/ship fee plus the extra amounts which totalled £535.

 

I think it is almost time to demand repayment of the 2nd year's m/ship fees in full.

 

Post up the demand letter and I will draft a claim letter which will seek a full refund of the amount. If they refuse to pay, you will complain to Trading Standards and/or the FOS and the OFT. At the same time you'll send them a Letter Before Action.

 

If they still refuse, you will issue court action seeking the refund plus interest.

 

Are you happy to proceed with this with the support of CAG ?

Hi SJ,

 

That letter is good.

 

Do you have one that confirms when, or why, you owed them the full £480.

 

Also, was anything written about the mysterious extra £55 that they dreamed up, giving the total of £535.

 

Did you check with one of the Credit Ref Agencies and find that no Default had been registered at all. Or was there any negative marker about this which was updated as "paid" ?

 

I'll be busy over the next few days but will get onto this after the w/end.

Hi Slick,

I checked with experian and there was no default from them on my file.

I have another letter the same as the one I posted on here just a different date. I will sort through some paperwork and look for one stating what the other £55.00 was for, I am sure it was a charge for non payment.

Get back to you ASAP. Thanks again :):-D

Hi SJ,

 

Have you been able to find the letters from Ashbourne that clarify why they wanted a total of £535 from you.

 

If you want your money back, we should move on with this now.

Hi SJ,

 

Thanks for the PM, which confirmed that you have received 3 letters since xmas similar to the one you posted previously.

 

What I would really like to see is the letter which demanded payment of the £535. Have you found this yet.

 

Are you willing to seek a refund from them for the full amount paid. You may have to issue court action to do this but you'll have our support and help in doing this.
