    • Hello, firstly thank you for reading this. I know no one wants a long winded back story. So I’ll be breif. I entered a local store to buy some paint (which I did pay for) I am honestly not a bad person or a theif.   Didn’t have a basket or trolly as was on my lunch break. Whilst picking up the three tubs of paint placed some masking tape in my pocket (it was hanging out of so I had every intention to pay) just didn’t have a hand free. Paid for my goods (forgot about the £4.39 masking tape) I’ve got so much going on and im not well at all (like I say no one cares I get that) also have autism so wasn’t thinking particularly like others do maybe (who knows my minds going around and around) I left the store after paying, was pulled back in by security. Asked for the tape which I gave immediately  shook up. Gave them my ID and details. I was given some paper and told to expect a large fine in the post for their time and the tape and sent on my way. my questions are: I hardly ever go out without support so the ban I guess I can’t go there now for anything (their loss) - ok but is my photo going to be all over with my name? how much am I expecting in the post as a fine? I have sent them cash in the post recorded signed for delivery to arrive tomorrow (incident happened today) for my error. Their Address was on the bit of paper. i have read two posts on this page but they were from many many years ago so I hoped for updated advise please? 
    • V important you read lots of BMW threads too !  
    • So should I send them a new SAR and put my date of birth on it? Or do I need to send them some proof? Driving license? 
    • Thanks so much for your help!! I've emailed them, and when they reply saying they can't do it I'll reply and state my rights. I'm so glad I found this forum, and will read all of the posts I can find and help guides available for the future. Really can't thank you enough.
    • utter BS, doesn't matter you signed it. pers i'd be writing as per the other threads here rejecting the car as not as described under CRA etc and be done with it. as its a debit card you could also do a full chargeback within 120 days to your bank and simply dump the car back to BMW. 100's of like threads to read here. get your ducks inline. make sure you know what you are doing and off you go. dont take any BS from BMW, no matter what you sign it does NOT remove your consumer rights. p'haps it might be on the off chance you are a good manager , a quick phonecall tomorrow saying you dont want it because (no bla bla fitted) it might be resolved in 5 mins..i will guess to date you not tried

    • 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.

Good for you.

 

I suggest now that you put the bailiffs as soon as the 3rd August dealine has expired.

 

there is no need to have any correspondence with the council about this or to serve them with any warning.

 

Just apply for a warrant of execution. We can arrange some publicity if you want.

You will get all of your expenses back as well as your money

 

 

Wouldn't bother with the Court Bailiff - but a High Court Enforcement Officer would cause some fun & games. Transfer fee only £50.

This is what has happened. Rather than leave everybody in the dark. From what i am being told this had gone to mediation. The person and the council agreed a settlement upon which when cleared funds were received the court would be notified of a settlement if not then the claim would proceed if mediation had never happened. The council were aware that their payment had not been received. Due to the non appearance of the funds the claimant attended the hearing and the council didn't. The councils excuse ? You didn't tell us about the hearing date!!! I will try and get hold of emails crossing but do not know when. The council have referred it to their legal dept. What i was going to ask !!! Can the council have this set aside or would they need to appeal it ?

So whats cooking today ?

Don't dismiss this lightly yet. According to your scanned doc the Council have until 4pm on 3 August (Tues) to pay. However if you also say they have paid part then they must have known about it?

Apparently applications of sort have been received by the court including the following : Application to set aside judgement dated 22/07/10 persuant to CPR13 or, in the alternative, under 3.1 case management powers. I also now would like to welcome medway council and their snoops to this thread on behalf of the claimant. Nice to see where the tax payers money goes !!!!!!

I took it to the papers and now BBC Radio Kent have picked up on the 'Parking Blues' which I wrote to reveal the shameless activities of a Council who have forgotten the difference between public service and self service. A video will go up on you tube later today.

Well you may want to do a freedom of information request and ask medway how much has the claim

khan vs medway council and jbw enforcement limited has cost medway council so far:

 

1. In man hours spent preparing a defence

2. In money spent defending/applying to have the judgement set aside

 

Also how many jobs are going to go as a result of this costly blunder?

 

Bet you will not get a reply.

Thanks for your co operation Mr Khan,

It would have been helpful if you had at least notified us that you had not received your payment when you knew what date the court hearing was set for.

Dear Mr Khan

I have checked with our finance team and they have confirmed that this payment was made on the 9th July but this can then take a couple of days to drop into the persons account so this may well have been on 13th.

As the claimant it was your responsibility to advise the court that a mediation session had occurred and an agreement had been reached I was advised of this by the mediator , I would therefore appreciate it if you as the claimant could discuss this with the court and explain that you failed to contact them.

Regards

Hi

 

Also received this in today's post. As you know the agreement we came to via mediation was that medway would pay me £ and i would notify the court and vacate the date on receipt of cleared funds. The funds did not arrive at my end till 13/07/10. The attachment will explain its self.

Has anyone asked the council :-

 

1. Is the vehicle is Still Type Approved within the ECE Regulations?

2. camera on the roof is "E-Marked", approved for in/on vehicle usage?

3. Has VOSA inspected or tested the vehicle to see what a mess it would make if it hit a pedestrian?

4. Is the camera system is operated by one person?

5. Is system is turned off or is operated by a passenger, during all times whilst the vehicle's engine is running?

I love the comments such as one person says they saw the person in the car eating a sandwich and drinking a coffee whilst at work, lol I think they should be jailed for that everyone should work at least 8 hours without eating or drinking!

If he was parked on DYLS or another restriction when eating his lunch then the exemption doesn't apply does it.

parked outside a school means there is a good chance he was parked on a restriction for lunch. But we would need to know which school of course just in case.

And this comment show the CEO and the council that trained him in a very bad light. - - -"i got a parking ticket for £70 through the post when i parked on double yellow lines for 30 minutes in chatham. sat next to me had been a camera car. as a blue badge holder driving a motorbility car i am entitled to park on yellow lines. the man driving the camera car clearly had not even got out of his car to see if i might have blue badges. naturally i am contesting this ticket! i have seen these camera cars frequently in chatham, usually parked somewhere illegal. do they not get out of their cars to check if someone might have blue badges up? clearly not. a blatant case of sheer laziness. get these 'lazy big brothers' off the road and use the money in sensible ways!"

or actually eating whilst waiting for someone to park, I regularly eat and drink at my desk and have never been disciplined or arrested for it.

no lunch breaks for CEOs eh ? get the union on that pronto ! :)

If he was parked and sitting in the car while working then he was in control of the vehicle. Not that you can be while eating and drinking.. naughty CEO whichever way you look at it.

Medway council parking are full of excuses. The pcns they were issuing and ntos they were issuing up till march 08 were unenforceable and wrongly worded. Wander what they would do if people started claiming against those ?
