    • Hello dx100uk, After months of waiting for a response I finally got a reply and I must say it was the worst 4 months of my life the - fear of the unknown. So, they wrote back and said I was in the wrong BUT on this occasion they  would not take action but keep me on file for the next 12 months. It. was the biggest relief of my life a massive weight lifted -  I would like to thank you and the team for all your support
    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.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 sent the first letter to Barclays yesterday by recorded delivery. I also enclosed a schedule of charges, however when i used the spreadsheet i deleted the 8% interest column as these were not relevant at this stage. Was I right to do this or should i have left it? Please help.

What you have done is correct -8% interest is added at money claim stage.

I have received a response from Barclays to my preliminary letter. It is the standard letter "sorry you are not satisfied with our services blah,blah...." and a copy of their terms and conditions. They say they will be looking into it and get back to me by 11 October 2006. Sorry, but 14 days are up this Thursday 28 September so I will be sending my LBA on that day. At least something is slowly starting to happen now.

 

OOOOO, what if i become the first person where they actually turn up to court to defend their claim.

the response I got from the data protection letter requesting a summary of my charges, was a letter back returning the cheque saying they had no intention of refunding my fees!!!

 

have sent them a letter reminding them the 40 days are up, and giving them 7 days to send me a summary of the charges so am slightly behind you on this one so will watch with interest!

I have received an offer from Barclays. It seems to be the standard letter they send out and have offered me £500 in full and final settlement. This if of a claim of £1100.00. I don't want to accept it but i am moving to Scotland in the next month or so. Will i still have time to do the money claim or should i just take the £500? I really don't want to do that so what are my options???

so did you send them the LBA letter on the 28th sept or just wait for their response?

 

well done for at least getting an offer... Im a little further back than you having just sent the prelim letter & a schedule of charges so will see what they say.

 

Looking at other posts it seems that it can take a good couple of months to come to court but most if not all of the banks seem to be settling before the actual court dates.

 

Why dont you just send a letter refusing the offer and requesting full payment of the charges. If no then just wait until you have moved and register the claim in a scottish court?

 

Seems a shame to not hold out for the extra £600 that you are owed?

Thanks for your reply. I sent them a LBA on 6 October so they have until next week to pay up. I also think it is a shame not to hold out for another £600.00. It is peanuts to Barclays but it is a lot of money to me, and will really come in handy for my moving costs etc. So can i bring the claim in a scottish court eventhough i started all this here???? I know the system is different up there. I don't know why Barclays hold out so long cos it ends up costing them more in the long run with interest being added and all that.

There are differences with Scottish law. Perhaps someone here can advise you - not me I'm afraid.

 

But the basic principles are the same, and Scottish residents ARE reclaiming their charges just as much as English residents are.

 

As for Barclays holding out, that seems to be a quite deliberate strategy. The cost of settling a few four-figure or even five-figure claims is just chicken feed to them. I'm sure what absolutely TERRIFIES them is the thought that, if they make it too easy to claim back charges, it would open the floodgates - and that wouldn't cost them thousands, it would cost them billions!

 

Don't you feel sorry for them now??

 

No, neither do I!!!!!!!

i really don't want to accept the £500 but i don't know how it works as i have started it all here. I am claiming by charges back from Capital 1 as well but i will start that after my move. I have to issue my money claim this week so i don't know what to do. I am moving in about 3 weeks but i doubt it will be sorted by then. Does anyone have any advice on what to do in a situation like this????

 

Pleeeeease!

you can get post redirected for up to a year after your move... so why dont you just continue it from your existing address... it's very doubtful that barclays would ever let it go to court... but even if it did you could do a court appearance on a £50 day return?

Last week I go my letter through for a preliminary hearing on 6 February. I called Barclays today to ask if they want to settle. They took my number and told me they will get back to me. They also took the details of the hearing. I have not heard anything back yet. Do they normally take their time in getting back to you. Should i call again this afternoon if i haven't heard anything?
