    • 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.

Very amused that Santander, they sent me bits of what I guess are 3 different stock letter pasted together at one point it refers to "policy taken out on 15 July 18 May 1991". When my policy was taken out in August 2002!

 

Thrilled to pay £1.20 for her to agree they had ignored half my letter and that they would look at it again. She was determined that FOS 'was not allowed' to intervene and if FOS wrote to them they would tell them they had no jurisdiction. Love these guys.

 

They have requested I send them my NIC's record as evidence of not being employed when I took out PPI on a Fraser Card Account (formery GE Capital).

 

FLA have not yet returned my call...

 

I just wish I hadn't paid off the account because they sent me a copy of credit agreement and application form and it's filled out completely incorrectly... they should never have given me the card yet alone the PPI!

Nearly the same as what happened with us... However they Were caught out by something and i can't say . You really fi have to have proof that They Didn't make that call, even yhough they admit no proof of call .Wish you luck though do not recommend the court route as a strong chance it could go the other way :(

millymolly - can you give a bit more info on why you think we shouldnt take it to court as I was strongly considering this option as it seems like it is the only one for me now - I have virtually exhausted everything else. Also if I take it to court - how do I stand regards costs - we have recently had to go on benefits due to my husbands serious illness and really cant afford court fees out of £105 a week.

I would recommend the FOS (EDIT: not sure if they cover an older policy) , the judges do not want this in their courtroom in all honesty and alot of cases have been lost .

 

Even with what we had I wouldn't do it again. If you have strong evidence that what they say did not take place and I mean strong written or otherwise then it's your word against theirs. Crikes we accused them of fraud and I know it seems I've taken adetour, however had done alot of reading up on PPI cases in court since november.

 

Regarding costs I cannot really advise you , I think with certain benefits the court fee is free and other fees, but I believe if you still wanted to go down that route ask the court who will give you the right advice. if the case was lost I gain cannot be sure as to costs , however believe you would not be exempted. I really don't know sorry :(

 

Try the Fos for some advice anyway. Good luck xxx

Hi

Tink , are you having any luck with FOS?

As I recall you were ahead of me in the Santander/GE Money pre 2005 PPI process which involves

1. Trying to claim it back from Santander

2. They refuse giving reasons and refer to FLA

3 Go to FLA - I missed this stage out after reading sevral threads

4 Ring FOS they say yes fill in a questionnaire we will claim from underwriter

5. FOS write to underwriter

6 FOS asks you to send FOS questionairre and claim to underwriter

7 Underwriter refuses saying they were not present at the sale and have passed on to Santander, knowing full well they have already given their final response

8. Complain to FOS about underwriter refusal

9. ??????? - No idea what FOS are doing as I have seen several cases dating back to 2009 who were at this stage , but no idea whether there has been any progress beyond this.

 

I am at No 8 and there appear to be many of us at this stage , have you progressed beyond this stage? Is that why you are considering court?

 

Regards

W

I too am at stage 8 with my complaint, but as my complaint has been with the FOS now since 2009 I am fed up with waiting - that and the fact that we have hit severe financial difficulty with my husband becoming seriously ill and unable to work (possibly for the rest of his life).

I do get updates from the FOS every couple of months, but the news doesnt change. Apparently they are considering whether they can bring action against the underwriters and there are a lot of legal implications that they have to consider before they can decide. If they decide to take action, a possible test case will happen and then the floodgates for the rest can open - at least this is how I see it.

 

WFLOSS thank you for your kind comments - when you have no choice but to claim benefits you dont realise just how hard it is going to be. We are struggling (unsuccessfully) to keep our heads above water on just over £100 a week (for both of us!!)

They are not rushing in their considerations are they? Plus at the same time they are rasing peoples hopes as they are still accepting new complaints.

Court is an option for you , but I haven't come across anyone that has actually gone to court and won against Santander or GE in a pre 2005 storecard scenario , so it is risky.

 

It looks like you have some other irons in the fire so hopefully something will go your way.

 

Have you any other potential reclaims like late fees as in my experience they settle those quickly albeit they just add 8% , but this may help in your current situation .

Santander and Nat West came back very quickly with offers for me recently.

 

Probably teaching Granny to suck eggs but in my efforts to improve my attitide to money and debt , I have looked at the Money Saving Expert site and there is some interesting stuff on there about earning and saving money. No quick fix but there may be something that could help.

Hi I don't know whether this is of help to anybody.

I too got fed up trying to re-claim PPi on a 2003 loan i have with London Mortgage/Acenden I was given same old reasons - not regulated etc. in 2003. I eventuallyturned to FOS (it has been with them about 2 years) I today received a letter saying underwriters have now accepted responsibility and Fos will now look at each case in order they received them .So heres hoping!

Don't give up, I got paid out eventually after 5 years!

It was much less than I had worked out BUT I got a letter direct from Santander in march to say they were looking at my claim again!

They have made me an offer, which I dont think is enough.

I'm trying to find the interest calculators on this site now to recalculate... anyone around to show me where to find them please?

Hi,

I also had a letter from Santander in March saying they are reopening my claim, when I phoned them, they said that they were waiting for new calculators under new guidelines to work out how much the claim would be. Eargerly waiting now, they said prob end of July. Had this card from 1995 to 2004.

Hi all.

Glad things are looking better for this one. Been a long time.

Going to get my letter off to Santander.

Could anyone please give me the address that they have been sending their recent correspondence to?

Thanks.
