    • Many thanks for the replies and advice!   I what to send this email to the Starbucks CEO and the area manager. Your thoughts would be appreciated.   [email protected] [email protected]   Re: MET Parking PNC at your Starbucks Southgate site   Dear Ms Rayner, / Dear Heather Christie,   I have received a Notice to Keeper regarding a Parking Charge Notice of £100 for the driver parking in the Southgate Park Car Park, otherwise infamously known as the Stanstead Starbucks/McDonalds car park(s).   Issued by: MET Parking Services Ltd Parking Charge Notice Number: XXXXXXXXX Vehicle Registration Number: XXXX XXX Date of Contravention: XX.XX.XXXX Time: XX:XX - XX:XX   After a little research it apears that the driver is not alone in being caught in what is commonly described as a scam, and has featured in the national press and on the mainstream television.   It is a shame that the reputation of Starbucks is being tarnished by this, with your customers leaving the lowest possible reviews on Trustpilot and Trip Advisor at this location, and to be associated with what on the face of it appears to be a doubious and predatory car park management company.   In this instance, during the early hours of the morning the driver required a coffee and parked up outside Starbucks with the intention of purchasing one from yourselves. Unfortunately, you were closed so the driver walked to McDonalds next door and ordered a coffee, and for this I have received the Notice to Keeper.   It is claimed that the car park is two separate car parks (Starbucks/McDonalds). However, there is no barrier or road markings to identity a boundary, and the signage in the car park(s) and outside your property is ambiguous, as such the terms would most likely be deemed unfair and unenforcable under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   I understand that Starbucks-Euro Garages neither operate or benefit from the charges imposed by MET Parking. However, MET Parking is your client.   Additionally, I understand that the charge amount of £100 had previously been upheld in court due to a ‘legitimate interest in making sure that a car park was run as efficiently as possible to benefit other drivers as well as the local stores, keeping cars from overstaying’.   However, this is not applicable when the shop or store is closed (as was the case here), as there is no legitimate interest. Therefore, the amount demanded is a penalty and is punitive, again contravening the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   As the driver’s intention of the visit was genuine, I would be grateful if you could please instruct your client to cancel this Notice to Keeper/Parking Charge Notice.   Kind regards
    • I received the promised call back from the Saga man today who informed me that the undertakers have decreed it IS a modification and they will need to recalculate a quote individually for me. However it all sounds very arbitrary. The more I think about it, and with help from forum replies, the more I am sure that it is not a modification. If for example the original seatback had become damaged by a spillage or a tear, I would be entitled to replace it with the nearest available part. The problem is when it comes to a payout after an accident, there is no telling what an individual insurer will decide when he notices the change. I am still undecided which of the two best routes to go with, either don't mention the replacement at all, or fill in the quote form without mentioning, and when it comes to buying the insurance over the phone, mention it at the time.
    • Please post up their letter so we understand what they've asked. You need to cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • Hello,  I received the standard letter.  I don't understand No. 3: If this is in relation to a ticket irregularity, then if you were unable to produce a pass because you did not have it with you or if your pass was withdrawn because you were unable to produce a valid photocard to accompany it, please enclose a photocopy of the pass/photocard with your reply. Question: do i enclose my photocard? my partner's freedom pass was confiscated.
    • LFI is spot on. In fact you could sue UKPC for breach of GDPR, as UKPC knew full well right from the start that their case was hopeless.  They should never have asked for your details from the DVLA. Take some time to think if that is a road you want to go down.

    • 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.

Maybe I got that wrong... I mean the 8% or something we are entitled to as on the spreadsheet... Does that figure stick at when I submitted to Cap One or is it still running....

 

Any objections to posting my FOS app or giving advice?

Thanks again

what would I do

 

ask them for the transcript of the call

 

that enter just shows that a call was made and the PPI was added

 

it says NOTHING about WHY and the PROCESS they went through.

 

read alanalans thread

 

ok cap1

 

you've proved that you added PPI after phoning me on DD/MM/YYYY

but that does NOT pROVE I agreed to it being ADDEd or

not being told I MUST HAVE IT

aby the advispor.

 

I was self employed, so it was USELESS tom e

why if your advgvisor HAD done their job

 

would theyhave advised me to take out PPI if I COULD NOT EVER CLAIM ON IT??

Ok, DX or Anyone...

 

Been a little long in getting around to this (disolusioned I guess) but here is the reply I intend to send to Cap1. Bearing in mind that their last reply said it was the last word in the matter and I would have to go to FOS (see last pdf posted earlier)

 

Is there anything I should add or take out? Am I on the right track?

 

This has been going on now for almost a year.... is that normal?

 

Thanks

just read through your thread, a few points to mention.

 

As Mike 770 said at post no 101,

 

the t&cs you have been provided are NOT the original.

 

For a start in 2000 cap one address was -350 Euston Road, London NW1 3JJ (not nottingham as per your t&cs, and the t&cs bear no relation to the t&cs for 2000.

 

You mention self employment in your letter to cap one,

 

The unemployment benefits only became payable on Business Failure(you would have had to cease trading totally and permanently

as a direct result of inabilityto pay business debts as they were due)

 

so this was a significant and onerous restriction,

 

something with which someone who was employed would not have had to comply with,

 

hence the missale of ppi to self employed

I would keep your letter BLUNT

 

don't give them room to wriggle

 

 

please provide me the evidence, that, in the alleged phonecall you refer too, I SPECIFICALLY asked for PPI.

 

all you have done so far is refer to an entry in a log, that say, iagreed to it.

 

I did not, please provide PROOF, via call transcript.

yep much better

 

add to the bottom a line which says something like:

 

what OR wrote above:

 

The unemployment benefits of your PPI cover would only have became payable to me on my complete Business Failure,

(whereby I would have had to cease trading totally and permanently as a direct result of inability to pay business debts as they were due.

 

if, as you claim, I agreed to the PPI cover over the phone, then had the above been explained to me by your advisor, then I would NOT have taken it.

 

my PPI claim is still outstanding at £XXXXX and is incurring daily interest.

yes, that way youve got them both ways,

 

 

if capone keep insisting that it was an advised phone sale,

first the advisor should have considered if the policy he was selling was suitable for your needs.

 

 

To do this he should next have enquired as to your employment status.

 

 

Having been told self employed he should have advised you that you could only claim as a result of total business failure, so totally unsuitable

So here is their reply after all this time. Seems I'm shafted big time and I've lost the claim. If I had gone to a firm of solicitors at least I would have gained SOMETHING. Disappointed!

the claim is NOT CLOSED

 

 

PPI is not ticked on your agreement

 

 

and there is no PROOF YOU actually agreed to the PPI in that phonecall

the advisor ticked it to gain commission out of you.

 

 

and anyhow they knew you were self employed so the PPI was useless

 

 

FOS time me thinks, open and shut case me thinks

 

 

though you've not helped yourself here by taking so long to actually do anything sometimes.

Yeah... I know. Just other life problems sometimes get in the way. Anyhow, could you please just tell me how to go about the FOS?

 

I am assuming including:

1) The 'original' SAR copies, I have 3 all different in what they included and there is too many pages to photocopy.

2) Copies of all letters I hae sent them.

3) Copies of all Cap replies.

4) The FOS questionaire.

5) A covering letter.

 

Is that everything?

 

Thanks DX

spreadies

all letters from you/them.

FOS CQ and covering letter.

agreements too and the RELEVENT SAR comms log entry.

 

 

you can tell them you have the full sar twice

and they can ask for it if they want it.

 

 

I've before now used a cheap penstick and scanned the lot

and included that with the file.

don't forget to write a separate letter of complaint outlining

an over view of WHY you are going to the FOS.

 

 

might be an idea to ring them

 

 

they are very helpful and will tell you what they want.
