    • 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.

Hi

 

Taking Shabbey for £1,225 and today they put £570 into my account as a gesture of goodwill. It's in my account with no explanation via letter or email, i had to phone them to see what it was for. If i touch any of this money does it mean that i can no longer proceed to claim the remaining ammount back in court?

 

I'm confused?

errrrrr not too sure but they put the money there without any explanation, not your problem that they put it in there but yes i would write to them with the date as todays date saying that you accept the funds as a partial payment. you do need to wait 24hours before you can spend it as im sure they will say all payments are subject to 24 hours clearing time and they can be recalled till 24 hours are up.

It is "new" common practise for shabbey, IMHO they are playing at a new tactic, i would ask them for a breakdown of the GOGW and take it off the most recent of your charges before you claim, I am not sure about this at all, I would say that if it comes to court and you havnt declared it for one reason or another and DLA ask about it, you may have scuppered yourself, I dont know legally where you would stand on this point and I dont even know if you should acknoeledge it in your claim, but when you get your acknowledgement through it does state quite clearly that "You must inform the court immediately if you receive any payment before a hearing date or after you have send a request for enforcement tot he court"

i personally think all these goodwill payments of hundreds of pounds is brilliant.lets face it, they're shooting themselves in the foot.if anyone was struggling to pay the court fees -and reading this site some are-then the refunds are providing you with the means to keep the claim going.bl**dy brilliant.keep it up you morons(banks) and we'll keep up the claims.,

hi ayzi, good news for you! Just wondering how far down the reclaiming stage are you with the Abbey? Be nice if they did that for the rest of us, it seems they work so unpredictively........

They buggered me around with my Data Protection Act request but i discovered that if you ask for statements via the only banking service you get them within a month for free (watch them close that loop-hole now)

 

Sent off my first letter claiming all charges and they replied with a standard 4 week to investigate blah-blah, replied with the second letter of action (final) stateing that as it was not a complaint i would not give them four weeks to investigate but gave them a further 14 days before i instigated court proceedings. They buckled after 10 days and paid £570 into my account :)

 

I shall send them a letter tomorrow thanking them for the part payment and will give them another 14 days before i claim the outstanding balance in court.

The charges they have refunded date from January this year. Needless to say when i do submit my claim i shall deduct those charges plus interest. What's a GOGW?

Hi All

 

Just a quick update relating to GOGW

 

I received £615 over the bank hooliday weekend

 

Received a letter 7 days later from Abbey explaining it was a gesture of goodwill.

 

At the point of the refund Abbey had just ackowledged the claim and had 14 days to file a defence.

 

I e mailed MCOL and advised I had received monies deemed tyo be a getsure of goodwill.

 

I received a fairly prompt reply thanking me and stating they would place a note that I had reported a receipt of some money and to advise of any further monies especially WHEN |( yes when ) I received the full amount of my claim.

 

I rang and asked if I should amend my claim and was advised not

 

 

Hope this helps y'all

FWIW

 

I dont see that money sent as a GOGW should alter the claim.

 

If they send it as a partial offer i think the situaiotn may be different, not sure.

 

A GOGW could be construed as a gift for causing you so much grief as far as Im concerned.

 

Incidentally i got one from MBNA, i have just written and confrimed im proceeding with my claim.

 

I should add that if you have made a claim and entered it at court then i would inform the court and let them decide.

 

JMHO

I read this thread with interest as I went to my branch today to request a mini-statement and lo and behold they have credited it with £365 today for charges they have made. Just like Ayzi there has been no letter to let me know they were doing this. I shall phone tomorrow to find out what they have to say.

 

The LBA was sent and the 14 days were up Monday so I was in the process of calculating the 8% interest to go to court. Think I'll withdraw the money tomorrow and use it set up my parachute account. Thanks Abbey.

Hi all,

needs some advice ref GOGW. Entered my branch today for an update, regarding my claim for £1766.00, I was advised my letter at branch level had been reviewed and a reply was in the post suggesting I further my complaint with the the FAS. If I was dissatisfied with this response I could log a complaint to the complaits department, which I did by telephone, and was offered a GOGW payment for £830.00, what is the best course of action? Do I accept this and further my claim for the differnce?

Thanks in advance

Regards

Think we all need to be careful here and not confuse gestures of goodwill with offers made in full and final settlement

 

I would not accept or acknowledge anything that Abbey say or do without having it confirmed in writing ( I;m not being libellous ) I just believe that there appears to be no formal policy within the Abbey organisation and to accept a gesture of goodwill without both explanations and written confirmation that that is what is it could potentially predjudice your claim if you were not in a position to back it up with written evidence.

 

I also think the stage at which your claim is at the point when the gesture of goodwill is made is important. I would be interested to know what letters relating to GOGW have been sent by the Abbey = are they standard as most of the Abbey letters are or are they personal to the individual case.

 

I've chosen one course of action - that is not to say it is the right one - this is uncharted waters at the moment.

 

Anyone else had GOGW refunds after the claim was issued????

Thanks for the advice, the advisor did say it would be sent in writing. I think as you say it might be best to respond, once I have their offer? I will wait until I have all the correspondance from them.
