    • 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, I to have received a PCN from Premier Park today for an aledged offence at the beginning of June. It was a pull in and drop off in a empty car park. A clear photo of entry and exit is part of the notice. How likely is it that they have a clear pic of the driver? It is only refered to as a Parking Charge Notice on the payment slip on which it also asks for declaration of owner / driver, but this is only for change of ownership. At the time, I didn't notice there were signs erected, although from google maps there appears to be, but to read them you would have to enter the car park and not obstruct the highway. Ironically they have mis-spelt my name, so does this render the 'invoice' invalid, if it ever had validity? The only concern is the Protections of Freedoms Act 2012, sch4 - why doesn't this apply?

Your thoughts would be appreciated to calm the wife and give me strength to ignore the repeat letters.

Thanks

Hi all

New on here but thought I'd post as would like some advice/ feedback.

I received a parking ticket today from these guys pps. Reason being not parking within allocated bay markings , and to be totally honest my front wheel was encroaching on the adjacent bay . But this was a knock on effect from the car situated next to the bay I parked in.

Should I ignore / pay ???

Help cheers jimbo

STOP and think what you are asking...Should i pay a cowboy because i parked over a stupid white line a few inches on a private car park £60 ??

The answer should be why should you as we are not all slaves yet..But some still pay because they have been conditioned..

I would also like your input on this case.

 

A good friend of mine was given a Parking Charge Notice by PPS while she was parking in exeter. the problem is that whilst she does not deny that she was there and in fact had indeed overstayed. the details on the notice are incorrect, make and colour are ok but VRM in wrong only by one letter but wrong none the less.

 

I advised her that seeing as it is not the VRM that is no her car then I do not believe that she has to pay it.

 

What do you think?

Hi

I recently received a parking ticket also from PPS and although I was 2 minutes over according to the parking notice (or on time by my own watch) I decided to appeal. After seeing all of these posts, I wish I hadn't now.

 

My appeal letter stated that the two parking meters were 4 minutes apart so as they think I was in contravention of the rules, the two machines should have clearly been showing the same time ( how am I to know which one they used to book me)! I was on time according to one of them and not the other.

 

Anyway, I've just received a letter saying my appeal was invalid and now want to ignore it, but as I've already appealed (by email so they haven't chased the DVLA for my address details yet), do you think it's still ok to ignore? Or have I started something now whereby they will actually take me to court?

 

Micheller1967, have you heard anything 4 months on after your appeal?

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
