      Parking Fee Paid But Input Incorrect VRN

      By anotheruser0000 · Posted

      Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.

      Parking Fee Paid But Input Incorrect VRN

      By dx100uk · Posted

      you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx

      Highview/DCB(L) ANPR PCN - Letter of Claim - Now Claimform - overstay - Riverside Retail Park in Norwich, Norfolk.

      By anotheruser0000 · Posted

      Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!

      Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 there,

I was expected to work as an event security officer today at covent garden london with showsec event security. I got there on time and then the manager has given us the yellow shirts to put on but all those shirts were extra extra large and i usually wear small size so i asked the manger in a polite way that do u have other sizes in it and then he replied in really harsh and insulting way that "thats all i got if you want to wear then go ahead or otherwise go home" and i was kind of shocked at that moment that i didnt say anything wrong then why he treted me like this then i noticed he was really calm and cool while treating other Britishers so i realize that he is kind of a racist (according to my observation) to cut short i have asked his name and he refused to after that i went to have a word with the lady from showsec ltd to complain about himself and to know about that either they have other sizes or not the lady also mis guided me that they dont have any other size as i have later found the had every size but they dont want to give us the small size as i dont know why when i asked the same lady that how to complain about this whole matter she given me her email addres and tell me to e-mail the whole thing to her as she will pass that complain to others which doesnt make any sense

(infect at the end off whole conversation i weared the xxl shirt eventhough i knw i was looking like joker, but that the same guy told me to leave the site)

so i want to know that is there any possible way to deal with that racist guy.

Do you have a witness that will confirm your version of events?

 

Without one - no, little you can do.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

Just write to the company stating that you dont feel you were treated in a correct manner, and then forget it, there really isnt a lot you can do unless you have witnesses and to be fair if you want to work for this company again theres not a lot of point in making waves. Having said that you do seem to have a few problems with the companies you work for prehaps its time to look at a different line of work.

DSo you have an SIA badge? if you do there should be plenty of work around especially in London.

Delicate situation. You like your job? The money's good? The benefits are terrific?

 

You could try talking to him in private as a first step, to let him know your true feelings about his lack of maturity and professionalism. He may not be aware of the damage they are doing because they have perhaps been brought up to see this treatment. You are there to earn your living nothing else.

 

If this does not produce visible results, then you will have to take your complaints to someone higher up. You will need to keep a note of specific comments and dates to be persuasive. Forgiveness only goes so far.

Me neither. This is a world away from being racist - or at least in having sufficient proof to allege any kind of discriminatory behaviour.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

I'm guessing that from your post you are new to the world of event security after reading this i'm a little bemused and struggling to work out how this SM is a racist!.... Reading the post it sounds to me like you may have a misguided expectation to the job.

 

I've worked in event security to manager level for many years i've seen it and heard it all!... Including what you are saying, to be honest from what you are saying was alledged to have been said i have said to many many people. "don't like it? Then go home!" It is the quick and easiest way of saying "i dont have time for a member of my team who wants to complain!" Speaking from experience being a SM you have flack from 3 sides organisers, security management and the public 3 times that of the security staff but it don't make me a rascist in any form.

 

i personally don't believe the SM refused to give you his name however i wasn't there i don't know but i would imagine that a company the size of Showsec have a complaints/ grievence proceedure to follow and that would be the route to take so the lady giving you her email is the correct way by the sounds of it.

 

If you worked in my club with me a conversation i would be having with you would be something along the lines of if you think being told To go home is harsh then wait til Joe public gets hold of you its no holds barred and they certainly won't give a monkeys about your feelings when they insult, spit, throw drinks or try to assault you. Theres no airs and graces if you don't like it then this isnt the job for you.

 

I make no apologies for this post i'm speaking from experience i certainly ain't defending the manager and i've never worked for Showsec but i will say this if your a newbie to event security Its the business i'm afraid welcome to the harsh world of event security it won't get any easier.

Maybe they have run out of other sizes at the time and only the biggest ones were left? Have you thought about that? How can you prove they had smaller sizes at hand, new, ready to be given away?

He may be racist, may be - not [EDIT].

My advice is: keep an eye and a diary on him - what, when and what time he says or does something and who has witnessed that.

He shouldn't have spoken to you like that, that's for sure.

Quite likely he might not even work with him again bearing in mind it is showsec and the different events they do and how big they are
