    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

How long do they have to provide me with these?

What action do i take if they do not arrive?

 

Please help I am a little confused!

:?:?:?

Hi welcome.

I am quite new to the site also, however would recommend reading the FAQ and reading other people's threads. Gather as much info as you can from the site as this will assist you greatly.

Under the Data Subject Request letter they have 40 days to comply, however as you have not submitted your request in this way they can take as long as they wish and there are no time restraints involved. May be best to start from the beginning again with the SAR letter (see templates library). You could try putting in your letter that you have already paid a fee in branch. The SAR fee is £10.

 

Good luck with your claim, but ensure you know exactly what you are doing otherwise costly mistakes can be made.

Please can anyone advise me as to what i am supposed to do next. I received my 6 years bank statements following a verbal request at my local brach ( also paying £5 fee) I since have calculated that they owe me £1605. Do i now fill in spreadsheet and include the 8% apr interest and if so which letter do i send with this as i did not let the bank know that i intended to claim back the charges.

Please help im a little confused!!!!

 

Thanks Leanne

Fill in the spreadsheet but take out the 8% interest, at this stage. You can claim the interest if the case goes to court. The next step is to send them a Prelimary Letter requesting your money back. There is a template for this in the template library. Attach the spreadsheet to this and send it to the head office of the Halifax.

 

Good luck with your claim.

Good Morning everyone

Please can anyone advise me on my next step?????

I sent my first letter asking for money back (£1605) and received offer of £187. I then sent LBA on 13th Sept and have received letter this morning now offering £562 being six months of charges and they are saying to comply with legislation i can now refer to financial ombudsman.

Is this a ploy to stop me from continuing and do i need to reply to this letter accepting this money as part payment and remind them their 14 days runs out on the 27th and go straight to moneyclaim or do i ignore this letter and wait until 14 days elapse and file with moneyclaim???

Please help

 

Im getting a little confused now

Hi leanne, I had exactly the same letter this morning!!!

 

I have just sent a last letter to them, as the 14 days from my LBA isnt up until 3/10.

 

If your 14 days is up within a day or two, then its straight to moneyclaim I believe. There is a step by step guide here somewhere. Hold on I will be right back....

Please can anyone help me.

I have just re read my LBA letter and think i may have gone wrong. I stated that "

I am claiming £1605 plus £478.52 which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken"

 

However i now realise that they have not taken the amount of £478.52 from me and i got a little confused in thinking that the 8% interest needed to go here.

 

The halifax have sinced replied offering me £562 which i wrote back and accepted as part payment but told them i still wanted my money back in full and would proceed with court action if necessary . They then replied stating that they were sorry that i was not in a position to accept this offer and refered me to the ombudsman. I am now about to fill in moneyclaim but am worried they may now have a way out

PLEASE HELP

You can send a copy to the court and one to the bank to avoid delays later. They have 14 days to respond and if they elect to defend (they will) it extends that to 28 days.
