    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Reply in 24 hours Westy - must be a different Cobbetts we're talking about. They still haven't replied to my rejection letter of 4th December which included the line "it has always been my intention that my claim is fair, reasonable and transparent".

 

We obviously share the same taste in sarcasm;)

Hi Paul (and everyone else)

 

In the absence of comments or cautionary words from anyone, I have indeed replied on Thursday 4 January and I did it Special D, coz I like the Elvis reference so much! (Return to Sender, for those who are wondering).

 

I have been at the supermarket, the shops and sitting at home and...the only conclusion I have been able to arive at is: they're stuffed. They didn't present a proper defence in time and I will only agree to an extension if they provide the info on their true costs, etc. And we all know the chances of that are so slim as to be anorexic.

 

So I may get settlement by the end of Feb after all. Or even earlier!!!!

 

Hurrah!

I have my hearing for application to order response to my part 18 request on 17th January. If the judge allows it then they will be required to disclose "their actual costs for each and every charge particularised by the claimant" so hopefully between us we have them well backed into the corner.

Here's a laugh for you all.

Since 9 November (the last charge included in my claim) the bank has hit my account with £178.14 in charges, including £114 for DDs and SOs I'd cancelled!

There's £9 for goodness knows what; £28 management fee (to be expected) and £27.14 for - well, anyone got any ideas???

 

Some people never learn, do they? That brings the total I'm after them for very close to £12K. I've never had that much in one hit from anyone before!

I'm rather looking forward to it!

:D

Mine's similar. I have to file another claim, obviously. I'm thinking about going to the contractual rate rather than statutory next time. The next claim will be small beans compared to the first.... until I add 29% (or thereabouts) :Dinterest! Whoo Hoo!

Well

 

After submitting that well-thought out and blistering (some may say) letter I got a letter from the court today!

 

Could it be...could it be...an order to NatWest to send in the documents?

 

Could it, could it?

 

No, dammit, it's a perfectly standard allocation questionnaire.

 

Oh, b*gg*r:mad:

 

Ah, well, I'll just have to request the order with the AQ. See if that works. It's a fast track AQ so I may well need some help, at least to check it over.

 

Anything from Cobbetts?

 

No, so I guess that offer wasn't serious, then!:rolleyes:

My claim was well over £5K at outset and the £100 for the AQ takes it rather close to £12K. If they leave it till early February before settling, it will be over £12000.

 

That's why!!

Hi, all

 

Brief reply as I'm still very much under the cosh.

 

Even tho I'm on fast track, I'm going to ask the Court to issue the Draft Order - as well as asking for standard disclosure. Hope they don't get peed off!

 

Nothing from Cobblers since their paltry offer. Nothing in my bank account, either!! They haven't come back about the interest: they kindly told me I could only claim 8%, not 8% plus statutory interest.

As they'd failed to submit a proper defence - and therefore hadn't raised the interest question at all - I wondered in my reply to their letter why they were seeking to raise it now. Nada response.

 

I have got something out of the Bank, though: £140-odd refund of charges since October. Not all, but most. So I won't have to take them to court on those ones.

 

Nice, but left me with a strange kind of unfulfilled feeling!;)

 

Must dash again - two articles to write and the AQ to get in to court. It's due tomorrow at the latest - by when I shall be in Cheshire for the day!

Westy, how come they refunded some charges since you filed? They didnt with me!

 

The fact they were for bouncing DDs and Sos I'd cancelled may have had something to do with it!!
