    • Hmm yes I see your point about proof of postage but nonetheless... "A Notice to Keeper can be served by ordinary post and the Protection of Freedoms Act requires that the Notice, to be valid,  must be delivered either (Where a notice to driver (parking ticket) has been served) Not earlier than 28 days after, nor more than 56 days after, the service of that notice to driver; or (Where no notice to driver has been served (e.g ANPR is used)) Not later than 14 days after the vehicle was parked A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, to have been delivered on the second working day after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a public holiday in England and Wales." My question there is really what might constitute proof? Since you say the issue of delivery is a common one I suppose that no satisfactory answer has been established or you would probably have told me.
    • I would stand your ground and go for the interest. Even if the interest is not awarded you will get the judgement and the worst that might happen is that you won't get your claim fee.  However, it is almost inevitable that you will get the interest.  It is correct that it is at the discretion of the judge but the discretion is almost always exercised in favour of the claimant in these cases.  I think you should stand your ground and don't give even the slightest penny away Another judgement against them on this issue would be very bad for them and they would be really stupid to risk it but if they did, it would cost them far more than the interest they are trying to save which they will most likely have to pay anyway
    • Yep, true to form, they are happy to just save a couple of quid... They invariably lose in court, so to them, that's a win. 😅
    • Your concern regarding the 14 days delivery is a common one. Not been on the forum that long, but I don't think the following thought has ever been challenged. My view is that they should have proof of when it was posted, not when they "issued", or printed it. Of course, they would never show any proof of postage, unless it went to court. Private parking companies are simply after money, and will just keep sending ever more threatening letters to intimidate you into paying up. It's not been mentioned yet, but DO NOT APPEAL! You could inadvertently give up useful legal protection and they will refuse any appeal, because they're just after the cash...  
    • The sign says "Parking conditions apply 24/7". Mind you, that's after a huge wall of text. The whole thing is massively confusing.  Goodness knows what you're meant to do if you spend only a fiver in Iceland or you stay a few minutes over the hour there.

    • 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.

Hi

 

In the absence of statements, this is the closest you are going to get.

 

FosCISheet v101.xls

 

Is the account still live or was it closed and paid off? If so, when?

 

As regards the charges, you can reclaim over limit and late payment fees. Have a read of No.s 3 and 4 in my signature for more information.

 

This is the spreadsheet you will need for the charges claim.

thanks mr Ims will give it a shot, acc still open , no arrears , once i got the ppi sorted will hit em with charges claim. i just wondered if they would take over limit charges when they took off pii as in most cases removal off ppi and associated intrest would have meant no charges would have applied

The rate would be the same rate as they were charging you on the card for purchases.

 

That would normally feature on the statements. Is there nothing in the SAR response which indicates rates of interest?

 

If not you can always ask for an analysis of the offer to include the rates used.

Thanks guys

started with just standard fos letter,

PREDICTABLY rejected,

 

Made a complaint to fos in early jan.

 

Rani's original thread

 

 

MBNA in some admin nightmare

 

wrote to me to say they were still looking into it , and then 3 days later rejected it>

 

having dicovered u guys on here I got wise and sent a SAR in

and a week after they actioned this

 

they wrote to FOS and said they with settle as a good will gesture,

 

The basis being a company director I am effectively self employed and they would never pay any claim i made

 

, IMS spreadsheet showed where money came from

£10 in 1995 with compound interst worked back to £900 odd.

 

N o fuss from MBNA even gave me settlement details from a senior case manager over phone >

 

Now I gonna try for bank charges as the cummulative effect of PPI would have certainly been responsible for some of these

 

Everyone i cant stress how ever laborious it feels or time consuming and painful

keep at the claims ,

 

take guidance from the genuis Caggers on here and u shoudl see the benefit i have ,

 

A big donation on the way once i get the cheque .

 

Fingers crossed for my outstanding cases with EGG[

IN HANDS OF AN ADJUDICATOR WITH BCRD PLAYING HARD BALL]

I will be watching this with great interest.

 

I currently have a PPI claim in with MBNA (only sent last week after receiving SAR) and if successful will be going after charges, I like you had a host of overlimit fees.

Hi

 

Probably best to start a new thread for the charges claim in the MBNA forum because it is a separate issue from the PPI claim. As a preliminary answer though, the charges you are talking about are unlawful penalties anyway.

 

There is a precess to be followed with a charges reclaim....have a read of Nos 3 and 4 in my signature.

Hi Rani,

 

You may be on a sun drenched beach somewhere relaxing after your fabulous win so hope you may have a minute to catch up with the Cag family, lol.

 

You can't imagine what this means to Caggers - your achievement is magnificant. Really, high five to you chuck.

 

"The basis being a company director I am effectively self employed and they would never pay any claim i made"

 

A friend of mine is in identical situation but would have been covered for loss of employment in the event his company going belly up, so long as they could produce evidence to prove that it has collapsed. His policy was from 1997 similar era to yours, did your policy say something along those lines?

 

We're just wondering what route to go down because of the settlement figure involved, similar to your's probably if we claim from day one.

hello

i have no recollection of this being said in my policy however the fact is the company going under is very unlikely and the sickness benefit portion is also not apllicable as most of us would continue to pay ourselves when we had our own company, To be honest after my initial fos complaint mbna never communicated with me again just agreed to pay up as goodwill, My advice is to go ahead and claim direct from them , if they decline [ as they did with me] go to fos and sit back and watch and see, . whilst claim is being looked at get your SAR so u have figures to work against as well. Good luck xx ps is his claim mbna?
