    • 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.

I read the posts on here advising to cancel OSC,

because it was costing me more than I could afford each week,

 

I did as it said on my agreement terms and conditions,

 

I wrote them a letter informing them I was giving them 7 days notice in writing to cancel my OSC which was dated 27/04/2012 to take effect from 04/05/2012.

 

However they have refused to acknowledge this and are now demanding 3 weeks full payment including OSC

and charges for me being late with my payment,

 

I am late because I refused to pay the amount with the OSC on

and they refused to take any payment without it.

 

They have just been to the house with a van to collect payment/or pick up goods

as stated in a note they have pushed through my door..I never answered.

 

I'm wondering where I stand legally though,

I should be able to make the payments without the OSC since I cancelled it under the agreement written in the Terms and Conditions surely?

 

But who would I complain to if I wanted to take this further,

 

the manager at the shop just won't accept any payment so effectively it's their fault I'm in arrears,

 

I only refused to pay for the OSC which I have cancelled

 

..at my wits end here..

utter rubbish

they CANNOT take good without a COURT ORDER

 

and even THEN it wuold be COURT BAILIFFS not

some monkies from Brighthouse that do it.

 

if they comeback

 

call the police!!

 

as for your paymnts

 

pay what you want to pay , ys minus the OSC

 

put in a reclaim too for all the WORTHLESS OSC you have already paid.

 

use this spready to calc what they owe you!1

 

This second spreadsheet is a compound interest calculator and can be used both for PPI claims and Charges Reclaims on Revolving Credit Accounts such as credit cards. Compound interest is not an award that foslink3.gif will give in respect of PPI claims but it can be used in PPI cases that are pursued through the courts. It is the standard sheet that is also used for charges reclaims both on credit cards and loan accounts where interest in restitutionlink3.gif is claimed.

What percentage of the goods are paid off?

 

Have a read at the 'wiki' on the site for brighthouse which will answer a lot then ask anything you feel you need a hand with still.

 

The charges they took can be reclaimed.

 

Never let them in and never sign anything if they visit.

Thanks I will do, Going to speak to the store manager again tomorrow and see what he say's this time. I just feel really intimidated by him, especially now it's resorted to threats! I've only paid off half of one item and a quarter of the other so I still have to deal with them for a while yet..hopefully minus the OSC!

Half paid means they need a court order to take it AND a court order to enter your property.

 

Quarter means it could be taken but they would need a court order to enter your property.

 

Its the Consumer Credit Act 1974 section 90.

 

What they normally try is to bully you into signing you permit things to be taken.

 

You already noticed tge bully boy tactics which you cannot really prove - but thats how they work - so DONT visit or call (unless you can record it) - do it all in writing as they wont lie as readily then.

 

OK?

You are the customer, and if they don't treat you that way then you should close your business with them.

I have been a customer with Brighthouse for a while and had a few issues with them. I haven't had to resort to writing to them yet as I have managed to resolve the issues in the shop. On these occasions I have waited to go in on their busiest trading days when the shop is full of potential new customers then calmly but loudly argued my case. It is very suprising how quick they want to help when people start walking out of the shop without buying. I am not saying this will work for everyone but it did for me.:lol:

Only got 2 items left now to pay for and relishing the day these are paid off and I am free of this company.

Good for you! Losing business is the only thing that really frightens these sharks, so hit them where it hurts!

Sorry for jumping on your thread but couldnt open my own ,

I have a fridge/freezer on a 3 yr term only 6 months to pay

Till its mine , it has been repaired once and is going back in with same fault , the engineer said it would more than likely be scrapped and i will get a 'like for like' ,

My question is does this mean i will get a 2nd hand FF ? Which i certainly dont want as i have kept mine immaculate looks brand new . Or will i get a new one ?

Any responses much appreciated thanks
