    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

    • 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.

First off if this is in the wrong place pls feel free to move.

 

Back in march i approached a company for a quote to build a website for me. I had an over the phone conversation with someone from the company and gave them a rough idea of what i wanted. She promptly got back to me the following day with a quote which was written as a brocure and sent via e-mail. I should point out that when we first spoke i did make it clear that i was after just a quote at this point as per the instructions of my inbiz advisor (i am unemployed by the way). Now i liked what i saw when she sent it and TBH i liked her attitude where as some others that got in touch i had approached were rather rude and did not understand what my needs were at all. So i then sent her a mail back saying that when i have the funds for the reasons just mentioned i would use their company to build my site.

 

She then sent me an e-agreement to sign. I took a look at it and to me it looked like i was signing something commiting myself to using them but also commiting to have the website built which was something i did not want to do as i was not certain if i could raise all the funds. I phoned her up just to check and she assured me that all it was, was basically an agreement to use their company when i want it built and not to change my mind and go with one of their competitiors. Fair enough i thought so i signed it.

 

I have now decided not to do this site and go back to college instead. Yesterday i received a call from some other member of their team wanting to know when i wanted them to commence work. I informed her that i had decided to not go with the site and go back to college. She then asked me for my home address as she had to escalate this to the commercial director etc. I said it sounded a bit suspicious and refused to give her it and told her to communicate via e-mail.

 

About an hour or so later i receive an e-mail from her saying that because i have decided not to go through with it they are going to charge me 20% of the origional price in cancelation fees. Of course i am writing straight back saying i never ordered anything and signed that agreement because i was told by her collegue that it was just a commitment to use them if it went ahead and not a competitior etc.

 

She then sent one back quoting the terms and conditions she said i agreed to that were attached to an e-mail when i signed the e-form.

 

1. The paragraph from the T&C's she quoted do not state any percentage cost with regards to cancelation fees and seeing as the lady who did the quote had it ready the day after we spoke, i fail to see how it can come to +£300 for what must only have been a couple of hours work tops.

 

2. And this is the important bit for me. The terms and conditions she says were attached in the origional mail, actually were NOT attached that i can see. I have checked every mail and there are no seperate attachments that contain them.

 

Can they still legally claim that i signed this based on the terms and conditions that were attached even though they wern't?. If not can i use this as as a way to either negociate a lower payment or to actually refuse to pay anything at all based on this.

 

Mark.

Hi Mark,

 

If you have checked all of the e mails and there are no T and C's then send them a final e mail explaining that to them.

Also tell them that any further e mails will constitute harassment as they have no right to these so called cancellation charges.

Do not communicate with them again, put them in your junk folder !

They sound like a bunch of chancers!

Actions speak louder than words.

 

Why sign up, why commit to anything at all if you're not so certain to raise the funds? It makes no sense.

 

Hi.

 

As far as i was aware i at no point commited to anything. All i commited to was to use their company rather then a competitior should i go ahead with it. They were made well aware of this from the outset. I was advised to get various quotes from the outset by my inbiz advisor as part of the buisness plan that we were doing. Funding was always going to be the stumbling block, but i was advised to do the plan in the first instance to have the viability of the project on paper.

 

Here are a couple of lines from the various e-mails sent between us.

 

"Thank you for this. I will get this put in to a file and give you a call in May as discussed previously to hopefully get started on the project".

 

"Thank you for your time discussing your new website yesterday. I have now prepared a quotation based on our conversation. Please find attached your break down of services and prices in your website quotation and also a brochure of our CMS system and the features included."

 

As you can see they were well aware all was after was a quote from the outset. I admit to signing the e-signature thing, but i did ring her just to confirm prior to signing that all i was signing was an agreement to use them and not a competitior. The first quote i posted she sent in a mail after i signed it and had notified her.

The question remains:

 

Why commit to the use of their company, rather then a competitor if if you're not so certain to use the company?

 

I fail to see what the reason, the benefit, the advantage was, to sign up to anything.

I was also told at the time she sent me this that should i go ahead by signing that agreement it would also mean that they would hold the quoted price.

 

As i have also said i made it clear it was just a quote from the outset and "if" it went ahead i would use them. What do you not understand?.
