    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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 all, need a bit of advice.

 

Has anyone else found that getting bank statements out of Halifax is like getting blood from a stone....?

 

THE STORY SO FAR.....

 

Wrote Subject Access Request on 18th July 2006.

 

Received letter from Halifax 21st August 2006 apologising that 'you feel you've had to make a complaint (I only asked for a list of charges at this stage!), and given the nature of the complaint your letter will be passed to the customer services dept who will contact you and deal with the complaint henceforth. If I do not hear from you in the next 8 weeks I will assume you are happy with this response'.

 

Not wanting to take any chances, I wrote back on 23rd August 2006 and asked again for the list of charges, as I wasn't sure whether I was actually going to get them or not.

 

Its now 13th October and I haven't heard a peep from Halifax, neither my local branch, where I sent both my letters, or the customer services dept it was being referred to.

 

Question is what do I do now? They've breached the DPA rules by not furnishing me with the info within 40 days, but how can I proceed further when I don't know how much i'm claiming yet? Has anyone else reported a bank to the Information Commissioner for a breach of the act and if so what was involved?

 

Any advice is very gratefully received!

shouldn't be raising a claim yet. I'm yet to see that you've received a full set of transactions and charges. Do you know exactly what is owed? Have you sent a prelim letter, letter before action? Have you notified Halifax of how much they owe you and you intend to claim it back?

 

I think you may be jumping the gun somewhat. Take time to read the FAQs, use the templates and avoid dealing with a local branch. Correspondence is better written to head office.

Regards

Hi

 

Try calling halifax on their normal number 08457 203040 and asking for them over the phone, I did this had to argue the toss for a while but got there in the end they only charge £5 for any amount of statements, I got mine back within 7 days.

 

Also I then sent my Prelim letter to Halifax PLC, PO Box 548, Leeds, LS1 1WU.

 

Don't forget to send anything that you do send to them by recorded delivery.

 

I got my reply from this within 5 days, with an offer of a third of what I am claiming, but I now have a name to go with the letters so all letters from now on will be going to a Doreen Johnson, Review Manager at the Halifax PLC, Leeds.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Good luck ;-)

Thanks, I'll try and answer all the questions, most of the questions I had already answered in my previous posts on this thread. I've written SAR weeks ago (18th July) but don't know how much in charges they owe me as i've never received anything, so I couldn't send a prelim as I had no idea how much to claim. As per advice from Boobaby (above) I wrote an LBA (as per templates) requesting that they furnish me with the information within 7 days, as they have breached the DPA 40-day rule, else I would take action against them. This seven days has now passed. I've sent everything recorded delivery and have proof of delivery as well, from the Royal Mail website. I need to know what action to take from this point as I can't afford to get it wrong! Thank you

If your 7 days has passed with the LBA for Data Protection Act non compliance then you need to issue them with an N1, they are useless with the statement issue, you could try and email mailto:[email protected] first and explain that if you dont get a response you will immediately file in County Court.

 

Read my thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/halifax-bank/10610-morgan054-halifax.html as i went throught the same thing

 

Best of Luck

It doesn't matter a jot whether the cheque has been cashed.

 

You have sent the SAR and they have failed to comply. You have proof that the letter was received.

 

You have sent a DPA non-compliance LBA and they have still failed to comply.

 

It's now time to file your N1 at court. Look at the following link:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6971-data-protection-act-non.html

 

It tells you how to complete the N1 based on non-compliance. You may not get much of a financial award but you will get the filing fee back. As far as I can remember, the fee is £30. If the bank have cashed your cheque then you can claim this back.

 

Should your "main" claim proceed in the same vein, then you would have proof that the bank were being deliverately disruptive and that really doesn't look good for them.

I'm going through the same thing with Halifax although they sent letters to me for my BOS and Halifax accts saying they were being sent under separate cover. My mum got the same for her halifax acct. Received some BOS dating up to 2004 but none from Halifax. I have emailed Kelly Duffus at Halifax as that seemed to work for Aaronsdad so am giving them a couple of extra days before I send off the LBA's. Hopefully they will pull their finger out as lots on at home just now as am starting back at work part time after maternity leave on 13th and still to finalise childcare and transportation! Plus all my other claims that are ongoing. I sent my BOS letters to Rosyth and my Halifax ones to Halifax and received all letters re. SAR's from Halifax office. They really are appaling though.

Hi sorry been offline for a bit, didn't have to file an N1 I just telephoned them and asked if they had sent them yet, they apologised and said they would send them straight away. They sent me two lots in the end!!

 

I've sent the Prelim off a bit later than i'd planned - Wednesday 13th Dec! Not very organised with Xmas to contend with as well. I'll update when I hear anything!
