    • So if I've understood correctly, you had a meeting with a company who employ PPM to manage their car park, but PPM gave you a ticket and the company refuse to get it cancelled.  Eh???!!! You are being somewhat secretive with the details and it would help us to give correct advice if you would be crystal clear about the story.  Who did you have the meeting with?  What is their address?  Why do you think it was them who called in PPM?  Were you informed about the matter of the permit by this company?  Etc.
    • What a disgraceful shirking of responsibility.  Par for the course though I'm afraid with Iceland. You could get nasty and send them a version of the below (you know the local area so change what needs to be changed). Unfortunately the people who are replying are having to comply with the company policy which is being foisted on them - which is not to cancel tickets. But you might as well send the mail and try.   Dear Cissy, thank you for today's mail. Of course you are "able" to cancel the charge, you simply contact Excel and tell them to cancel the charge. I will wait for exactly 24 hours and then contact the local newspaper XXXXX and the local radio station XXXXX about Iceland's disgraceful disability discrimination.  Nothing much happens in Gravesend so I'm sure both will be happy to do a piece which will generate terrible publicity for your store and drive away customers, which is exactly what you deserve. Yours, XXXXX 
    • You are absolutely right to be cautious. It would be helpful if you will be prepared to send me a private message containing details of the outlet and the address et cetera. It might help me to get things more into perspective. So I understand that you had a business selling your husband's photographs. You were unable to continue your direct involvement and so you made an arrangement with a manager who you trusted to carry on the business for you while you were recovering elsewhere in the country. Is this correct? This manager has possession of all the files of your husband's photographs. Is this correct? Do you have any copies of the files? You made a reference to having a Co-op. Does that mean that you are running a Co-op supermarket or groceries outlet? I don't quite understand here. In terms of the possibility of continuing the arrangement with this manager – my own view is that you need to bring the arrangement to an end and I don't see how you could trust them. As far as I can see you are asking about two issues. Making sure that the files in the manager's position are destroyed so that you regain control of the photographs. Obtaining some damages for the loss of revenue. How many photographs do you believe are in his possession? What you estimate is your loss of revenue so far – probably calculated on your average revenue over, say, the five years before you stopped your involvement in the business? You are talking here not only about a breach of contract. You are talking also about breach of copyright and frankly you're also talking about deliberate copyright infringement – which is a criminal offence. Also fraud. Additionally, if you begin the dispute with this person, I would say that they will probably leave immediately. Have you got somebody else to run the business or would that be the moment that the whole thing collapses? If it is the latter, then this is something else that you need to prepare – somebody to take over as seamlessly as possible   Also, do you know the address of this person – and do they own their own home or any other assets?  
    • Just as i thought (from above post) : i just hope this is not the normal customer service that say they cant do anything and that you have to appeal to excel parking 🙄 this is the response my friend has received today - totally ignoring the subject which was: 'victim of disability discrimination on the part of your agents' does anyone have any ideas to reply with please?     Thank you for your response.   I would like to apologise for the error in the previous email; our CEO, Tarsem Dhaliwal had received your email and tasked ourselves in the Executive Resolution Team with looking into this.   We have raised this with our internal property department who have more information on parking charges and any appeals, we can see that you had appealed the PCN with excel which was rejected, you then appealed the PCN with IAS which was also rejected.   Because of this, we would not be able to cancel or refund the charge.    I understand this may not be the outcome you had hoped for, I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.   Kind regards, Cissy

    • 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..

 

To make a long story short.

 

Card was PIN blocked. I was away from home for a few weeks. Signed form at station. Didn't make deadline and now I have a civil recovery letter. From past experience I am aware that these bullies are best ignored. Should I ignore them on this too?

Can we ask why you still havent paid it? Even if you call and make a payment over the phone to the petrol station?

 

Be careful, as newyln are bailiffs, and the amount you owe could have already gone to court and the petrol station has asked for enforcement orders.

 

If you can, check trustonline to be sure if there is anything marked against your name. They could be acting on their DCA licence, but it would be a very good idea to check first.

Even if it had, only the County Court Bailiff could enforce it.

BiteMe, forgive me if I'm wrong but this sounds like you had no intention of paying for the fuel in the first place. There are constant calls from the debt collection industry, and others, to have CAG and other, similar, sites regulated. When it seems that people are using CAG to avoid paying their debts it gives ammunition to those who would see CAG made toothless.

But thankfully if people do come to CAG looking for that kind of advice they don't tend to get much sympathy.

BiteMe,

 

I've just read on your other thread that you've admitted shoplifting from Debenhams on three occasions, and that you've also been caught by SouthWest Trains for using a friend's staff pass.

 

It appears you have no conscience whatsoever about taking things that don't belong to you, and want to get away without paying whenever you can.

 

Retailers add their losses to the cost of the items they sell, so every time you, and other people who think as you do, steal something the rest of us have to pay more.

 

You mention that you are 18. The world doesn't owe you a living. Unless you want to end up in prison one day you should stop stealing. It isn't clever, it's dumb.

Firstly, your statement about shoplifing driving prices up is incorrect, you can go on the internet to find out why.

 

Secondly, I would thank you to not judge me on things I did years ago, I am not 18, and I am not now who I was then either. The phrase "let he who is without sin..." springs to mind.

 

And to the others who are here to help, rather than attempt to pull people apart, the reason I have not paid is because I am still waiting for a new card and PIN to come through. I have since gone travelling again, so if my new PIN has arrived, I am still unable to do anything until I get home.

TBH, you say you are not that person any more so don`t judge & let he without sin , obviously you still are.You can argue about shoplifting costs but can`t pay your bill. You can go travelling but cant sort out a petrol payment & then come on here for " advice" , its not a open university course or really that difficult................. pay the bill , have it paid for you & repay the friend , family member , assuming that you haven`t burnt all your bridges in that area, now, how hard is that. Excuse after excuse after excuse, get it paid. I would never normally be this curt with anyone looking for advice but your the reason why so many company's treat people in genuine difficulties with such disdain.

From the info we have, it looks like the OP got caught and simply wants to get out of it, as they know this could come back on them hard.

 

Lets leave it at that guys. He had his answer and wont accept it.

As you are 'close by', I can see no reason why you don't pop in and pay. If I was in charge of the Forecourt I would have sent you a LBA and then started Court action.

OK. I think a timeline would benefit here

 

 

1. Go to pay for petrol... Enter my pin wrong (or so I thought).

 

2.Go travelling

 

3. Return home and recieve debt letter..

 

4. Go to bank and order new card.

 

5. Go to stay at friends 70 miles away.

 

My point is do I ignore the DCA?

I am so sorry. You were 18 in 2010 - "years ago" - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?264840-Notice-of-civil-recovery when you came to CAG admitting several shoplifting offences and wanted help, and now at 21 you want advice because you left a petrol station without paying for your petrol. For most people, if their pin was blocked and they couldn't pay they would make arrangements to pay as soon as possible, but you went travelling, and have gone travelling again. You can pay for travelling but not your petrol. You say you were in "areas close by." You didn't have to wait for a card and pin; you could have gone to the petrol station and paid in cash.

 

We don't "judge" people on this forum. We help where we can when people are in a mess, because they have made a mistake or their circumstances have changed. People often come here because they have used someone else's travel card, shoplifted and been caught, and for many other reasons, and people give practical advice and try to help where they can. However, in all the time I have been on this forum I have never come across someone who so blatantly admits to stealing/leaving without paying for something and wants help on how to avoid the consequences.

 

As renegadeimp says above: Let's leave it at that.
