    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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 luck, everyone!

Update:

 

Well I still havent heard from the Halifax... no standard letter, no nothing. I sent my letter by special delivery, so I know they have received it. Monday is their deadline day, (It's now Friday) so I dont think I'll be hearing anything.

 

I'm going to send my second letter first thing Monday morning. and see what happens then.

Received a standard letter this morning (Saturday), which is good as I now know they have received my preliminary letter.

 

Dear Miss XXXXX

 

Thank you for your recent letter. I was sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the charges applied to your account.

 

We are keen to deal with your concerns and are currently investigating your complaint. You will receive our full response shortly.

 

I enclose our complaints leaflet, which explains how we will deal with your complaint. If you need to speak to us about your complaint in the meantime, please call us on 0141 204 6451.

 

This is from Tracy Hopkinson, customer services... and a Leeds address. Am I right in thinking I should send my 'Letter before action' to this new address?

 

Thanks for your help, people.

 

Also, is it possible for the name of this thread to be changed to CunnyFunt Vs Halifax? Cheers.

I'm not sure what address you should use, or have been using...!

 

I'd be inclined (if it was me) to send it to Trinity Road, and to my local branch. HOWEVER, as she says that it is being dealt with, it'd be an idea to AT LEAST cc the letter to her address.

 

Be sure to stick to YOUR deadlines. You call the shots, not Halifax!

 

Send the Letter Before Action when your deadline expires.

 

Good luck, keep us posted.

Hey Monkey,

 

Thanks very much for changing the title!

 

I sent my first letter to the Trinity Road address... so maybe, like you say, sending one to each address is a good idea.

 

Thanks for your help. =o)

LOL...Bankfodder asked me to change it, so being a good forum member, I obliged.

 

Ok, so today I received a goodwill gesture of £56... I'm going to write them back and decline their offer... or should I just file my claim on the 15th day? Hhmm.

 

 

EDIT: There is a number on the letter and it says 'If you would like to discuss your concerns, please contact me'. I really want to call them, but I'm not very good in these situations... can anyone please give me some advice on what I should say? Cheers for any input.

So, I decided to call the Halifax and decline their offer. The woman I spoke to said that she feels the £56 was a fair offer (?!?!) and she said I wont be getting another offer. She's taken my number down anyway, so I wonder now if I'll get another call. I told her that I will be filing a claim on the 26th April anyway.

There's somethin I'm a little confused about, and was wondering if someone could please advise. I'm not certain if I put the interest charges onto the excel spreadsheet.

 

Could someone please confirm? Cheers.

Sorry for being lazy, I haven't read the whole thread yet.....

 

If you are ready to claim through court, then that is the time to prepare the interest on each charge (the 8% version).

 

Is that what you are referring to?

 

Or do you want to know how to input them?

Thanks just for replying! lol

 

I understand that when I submit my claim with Moneyclaim I can add 8% interest. When I add my charges to the spreadsheet... do I include the intested that Ive incurred on these charges?

 

Again, thanks for your reply!

It is my understanding that if you put the 8% on everything (excluding costs) then you are effectively asking for interest on interest. Because of this, you put the daily interest from date of claim until settlement ONLY on the charges total.

 

Perhaps a point that could be clarified in the FAQ section.

OK, I think you are getting more and more confused.

 

At court stage, for example purposes only, your charges amount to £2000

 

When you input the charges into the spreadsheet (or online calculator) the 8% total interest is £600

 

Your claim is for £2600 (plus court costs)

 

The daily rate of interest from the date you issue it, until they pay up, will be 8% on the £2000 only, otherwise you are adding interest to interest.

 

The calculation for this is 0.00022 X the amount of your claim

 

Thus - 0.00022 X 2000 which would equal £0.44p PER DAY

Flippin' heck, Jonni, you've been doin' a lot of reading haven't you?

 

Dowie - If it were me, I wouldn't even give them the time of day on the phone. I would much sooner write to them - that way I can think about what I want to say.

 

I rejected my 1st offer of £380 in writing and received a higher offer a few days later (ha ha). Also, if you keep everything in writing, and it goes to court - you have written proof.

 

Best of luck mate, and may the best man win! (Except I'm a lady!)

No, thats not what I mean, at all.

 

I completely understand the 8% interest thing.

 

What I'm talking about is the interest on my bank statements for charges I've incurred.

 

Thanks for your help.

Hey C&S!

 

Glad you found me. You're probably right with the not calling them thing, but hey-ho too late now... I'm just wondering now if I'll hear from them again before Wednesday.

 

And good luck to you too, my friend. :)

..What I'm talking about is the interest on my bank statements for charges I've incurred....

 

In that case........

 

You can claim for the interest that the bank applied to your account solely due to the charges, i.e. NOT for general interest which occured simply because you had gone overdrawn.

 

This, in my book anyway, is more complicated to work out because you should ideally know what APR they charged you for general overdraft rates and for 'over limit' rates - unless, of course, you are one of the 'lucky' ones whose statements break this figure down for you.

 

It can also be argued that by not claiming this (possibly much smaller) figure, that you are allowing the bank an amount you consider IS proportionate to the costs it incurred dealing with your failed Direct Debit / Cheque etc etc.

If you had to face the enemy in court, you would at least have an arguement to show you have allowed for actual cost. Remember though, you do not have to give them it.....

 

Another train of thought on this subject is as follows - If the interest is not itemised, then claim for ‘Interest Charges,’ and the onus will be on the bank to demonstrate the proportion they are entitled to.

 

The choice is yours........

Hey again!

 

Well I have the interest charged, for unpaid DDs on my statements, so I know how much they owe me. Thanks so much for explaining this.

 

Well I'll be filing with Moneyclaim on Wednesday 26th, so I'm going to read up on that again now.

 

This is where it either gets scary, or exciting... I haven't worked out which one yet though :)
