    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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.

i set up a direct debit twice and both times it's failed.

 

on my Virgin bill it just says...D.D Denied-No Account

i have def' given the correct bank and virgin details, but Virgin don't seem able to take out the money.

 

*september - set up direct debit

*5th october - D.D Denied-No Account

*on holiday so didn't find out until got paper bill [i usually get E-bills] sometime after the 18th of october [when i got the REMINDER bill]

*22nd october - paid balance by PayPoint.

*6th november - sent DD form to set up direct debit AGAIN

*7th december - D.D Denied-No Account -> i found this out on the same day because i happened to log into my virgin account to see what phone usage i'd been charged so far [for my bill due in about 1 and a 1/2 weeks time]

 

i changed to paying by direct debit so i wouldn't get the non-direct-debit fee, yet all i've had is stress because of this.16x16_smiley-mad.gif

 

what's going on?

Hi,ring Virgin media and they should either set up a direct debit for you or they will send a direct debit mandate out to you to fill in and return,you should then get a letter from them when your direct debit will be taken.When you fill in the mandate,you have to leave the first number of your account off,example if account number is123456789 omit the number 1.I hope this helps.

Virginmedia knoweth not what they are doing when it comes to bills... so if you can change to a different provider I would recommend it, just leaving broadband in place. They have screwed my bills for the last six months and even though I have complained still keep producing fictitious 'brought forward' amounts which never seem to clear down.

 

I have now got the old BT line back up with Plusnet and am getting an Internet TV/PC so I am not held to ransom by Virgin.

 

I believe their billing is 'outsourced' to India - they won't confirm this either way with me so I suspect strongly that it is, hence you never get anyone who understands the real issues and root cause of the problem.

 

I wouldn't let them do direct debit, one Xmas they took a double payment out of my account the day before Xmas Eve and I had a hell of a job getting hold of somebody to get the money back ASAP, bank did an emergency refund and then tried again to take 'their' refund back!

i'm sorry to hear you've had so many problems with Virgin.

i've been with Virgin since 2006 and my parents have for a year or so more than that.

my parents pay by direct debit, but they've never had any problems until now.

 

on the friday the 10th...after AGES getting really angry and fustrated on the phone to virgin...i was told i could only set up a direct debit [again] by them sending me a form to fill in and me sending it back.16x16_smiley-mad.gif so i doubt i'll have the DD set up in time for the bill that i'll get soon.

it wasn't until near the end of the call that i found out the reason the DD hadn't worked was because they had the wrong account number...that's twice in a row.16x16_smiley-surprised.gif

i gave all the correct numbers...on the phone the 1st time...on the DD form the 2nd time. my dad was with me, so he's a witness to that.

 

i really hope virgin can get thier act together.16x16_smiley-sad.gif

i just received an email from Virgin about the direct debit mess...

 

Thank you for your e-mail dated 25 December 2010 regarding your direct debit.

 

I have looked through your account and can see that the direct debit has now been set up and you will not be charged the 5.00(GBP) administration charge again.

 

I have made the decision not to refund anything else back to you as in October you had the 10.00(GBP) late payment charge credited back to you and in November you had two 5.00(GBP) administration charges credited back to you.

 

I understand this may not be the answer you expected and apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you have any problems with your direct debit in future please call customer service free from your home phone on 150 and they will be happy to help.

 

Again i apologise for any distress this may have caused you.

 

yes i got the non-direct-debit charges refunded each month, but if Virgin pulled thier finger out of thier a*** i wouldn't be in this mess.16x16_smiley-mad.gif

does amyone think i should be compensated for this?

or am i just expect i too much from a company.:violin:

No. Take your business elsewhere.

 

Legally, everyone who has a DD is still liable if payment is not taken - this is well established. The fact there may be a no-fault glitch does not relieve the customer of the responsibility - which is why DDs are not the solution to a problem, but a creator of many. For the record, I wouldn't trust VM with any DD. But I still use their service. I just have to ensure I pay them regularly and on time, which is a small price to pay.

Unfortunatly though VM will charge you £5 per month for this. I now pay nearly all my bills by SO, but I'm not prepared to pay an extra £5, so I still pay VM by DD.

I only pay £1.50pm, it shows on my bill asa recurring loyalty discount. This was after negotiations where I was to calling them in court that the £60pa did not reflect the costs of my paying them via BACS under my control. A win was assured at e old rate, but having reduced it to 'only' £18pa meant taking a risk, as I wanted to whole charge removed. As it stands, the new rate is better than nothing, so if you wish same you'll need to do the same dance, and accept their resolution. Or leave.

*on the 29th of December i paid 20 pound by Paypoint...which went through fine. i did this so the

 

*direct debit due around the 5th of january would be less.

 

*around the 4th-6th of january [not sure] i got the direct debit confimation letter...it was dated the 29th of december...the number were all correct. i also noticed the direct debit details were on my E-bill information on the Virgin website.

 

*the direct debit was meant to go around the 5th of january.

it's now the 13th of january and still nothing has been debited.:x

 

i suppose now i have to go through the usually ages on the phone...paying by another method...reversing the late charge and non-direct-debit fee...and try again next month.

i'm losing the will to carry on.16x16_smiley-sad.gif

I'm interested in this too..By BACS I assume that you mean paying by standing orderr direct into Virgin's account or is BACS actually something different ?
