    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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 does it take for a recorded delivery to show up as delivered online ?

 

It should show up almost immediately as they use those hand held computer thingies.. but you should give it at least 3 working days.

Sent the recorded deliver on 28/Feb. No signature is showing online. From experience, this is either No one answered the door or it was refused. If this happens a P739 (I think it is) is left. If no one responds to the card, will the mail be returned to me and if so will the post office give a reason ?

If a RD letter is not delivered then the Post office do usually return them - with a reason stamped on the envelope. If a card was left because no one was in - then that should be showing on the RM website as "undelivered - Card left"

 

Does anyone know how to get a telephone number of a royal mail delivery office. Not getting any luck online..

 

If you mean a Sorting office - then you should be able to get the telephone number either from your own Sorting office or online.

I further enquired in a post office if mail would be returned to me. If the guy refused to sign for it and that reason was given on its return, would I then be able to state in a court that am attempt was made to communicate but my post was ignored. In an effect could it be said to be delivered even though it wasn't..

If it isnt returned to you then it is deemed delivered. You have a receipt that proves you sent it.

 

Unfortunately letters dont always get signed for when sent RD - I had one popped through my letter box today. It is very kind of the Postman to do this especially as it was an item ordered that I was waiting on. However, it is risky for them because I could have said I didnt receive it !!

The guy in the postoffice said it could take three to four weeks to be returned which sounds a long time. If the person that it was intended never signs for it, then can it be assumed that it was delivered and the reason it wasn't was because it required a signature..

 

Phoned up customer services of post office. (wot a joke) RD has not been signed for, couldn't tell me if am attempt had be made to deliver. Looks lose another RD has been lost in the system. Its useless..

I have found the quickest way to discover if an RD letter has been delivered is to put in a claim for the cost of the RD postage, along with a claim for the envelope/paper and time to construct your letter and the time taken to go to the post office.

 

You can download a claim form from their website or pick up one at the post office.

RD was delivered but not signed for. A breach of contract by royal mail ?

 

Who says it was delivered ? The Post office? - if no signature, how can they say it was actually delivered ?

If you know for a fact that it has been delivered I would not be worrying too much about the proof of the delivery. If you have retained a copy of the letter and your Royal Mail receipt indicating you send it recorded then I think that is more than enough for court purposes. The CPR only requires first class post for service of court documents, not recorded. If there is any doubt then just send the letter again.

 

If you know he has seen the letter you have to think about what you do next. I guess you can either try to contact him to chat about, or send a proper letter before action and follow up with court proceedings if necessary.

 

If he did not repay you for the wedding that is almost certainly statute barred (in England and Wales you have 6 years to pursue a debt, after that it is not legally recoverable).

Update on the lending of money to a friend. End of December 2012 he signed to confirm he owed me the amount of £5600.00. I sent a statement to that affect at the end of February 2013 requesting payment within 28 days. No arrangement has been made yet. What should I do now. Could I send something for him to sign to pay in installments and could I then charge interest ? I need to go on to the next step. What is the best route. I have tried to remain friendly but if he's not making an effort to communicate, what is the next move ?

8% Section 69 on outstanding debts once you have judgment and the Court allows the interest.
