    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

clare,

surprised you haven't heard of colin - it's colin langdale:

Colin Langdale, Senior Service Quality Officer

Arlington Business Centre

Millshaw Park Lane

Leeds LS11 0PP

 

it seems like an offer made by hsbc comes through him, thus we all know his name. and after you file your cliam, when you start dealing with dg solicitors, the most common name is:

Debbie D'Aubney

or debs as we call her - we are running a contest on babs thread to see who can come up with what debs stands for if in fact it is really a computer (like hal in 2001), not much in the way of prizes but it passes the time. come join in the fun!

Bit of re-assurance please?!!Been reading loads of threads, can't seem to find anyone at the same claim level as myself......submitted my MCOL, a few days later got a letter from 'Col' , he refers to my prem and offering partial settlement, sent a return letter declining their offer and seeking full amount. In the meantime, I've sent Debs another copy of my charges including further charges since the MCOL submission. If I don't receive a reply from either before judgement day, do i just go ahead and press the judgement button? Or am I on the homeward bound with 'Col's' partial offer?

 

Any advice welcome?;) Thanks again.

No, Id say stick at it and yes press the judgement button when their 28 days is over! But apparently they usually enter at the very last minute!

 

I think we are at simialr stages? MCOL on the 20th, acknowledged on the 23rd, charges faxed over on the 24th... no offer yet but I didnt send the LBA, just the first letter then went straight to MCOL!

westy and claire, i think you will find that if it goes to judgment day - you go the press the button and you will find you can't as dg will have filed an eleventh hour defense. then, you just wait and in a day or two after that you will receive from the court an a.q. (with a deadline of when it needs to be filed and with a little luck, you won't get near that date and so won't have to file it), also a copy of dg's defense (it is exactly the same wording on all of them - so file it under tripe), and a change of court to probably your local court (don't panic, this is all part of the process - the number of people who have gotten that far(court) is miniscule, really, really tiny and on-going and not little fish like you guys). you then have until the next deadline to file the a.q. - we'll talk you through that later if it gets that far. if you've sent your breakdown to dg - just sit tight, or if you want to claire - call them "just to make sure they received your breakdown", you've asked about calling them before - or was that the other claire - you won't hurt anything if you do, let us know what they say if you do. it's still just waiting time.

Thanks Lateralus for your prompt response, it's good to have words of encouragement. I'm just curious how mine will go now having a partial offer from 'Col'? What's intriguing with this process that everyone's claim is not consistent eh?!:roll:

the thing about the offers - it's colin (i think he is chief offer man) that is a bit inconsistant. i was the same, prelim letter, nothing, lba, you think nothing - but you file 14 days after the lba and a couple of days AFTER you file you hear from colin - it's just their slow way - and it's a puny offer (generally around 80%), i honestly don't think the bank and dg are coordinated at all (even though dg works for hsbc and is in fact part of hsbc), you are hearing from and declining an offer from the bank - when, in fact, as soon as you file - dg becomes their representative and the offers from that point come from their office. many have commented on the overlap - and some think the colin offer is in response to the mcol - it isn't - it's a slow response to your lba (where you clearly stated you were giving them 14 days - but they clearly move at their own pace), in my mind - the only reason to even respond to that slow lba offer is so they and you have a record of what's gone on if it ever were to get as far as the court. i've never heard of them actually giving that offer as a partial - when you don't take it as a full offer - it just vapourises. that offer is meant to get to you just before you file (if you are wavering and haven't done it just exactly on 14 days - it may be pretty well timed), it is meant to weed out those who are shying away from filing - and it probably works to some extent.

all this is just what i've picked up by reading loads of hsbc threads.

back to you guys - i also would like to know what they say if you call ...

"just to be sure you have received my schedule"......

good luck.

amanda, bet you won't even need that aq info - but, good girl for keeping one step ahead of the game - wish more would!

Hi all

 

Still waiting............Xmas cards are landing on my mat but I want THAT letter!! Left a message with Debs to ring me back to confirm that she's had a copy of my revised charges (charges incurred since the original list sent), still no reply.:| Will attempt to bell her tomorrow. My MCOL days are up next week, a tad stressed at the mo with organising a family Xmas party, work being MANIC, and monitoring my claim......whew!

Hello all!

I'm back on-line, had problems with my laptop and it drove me nuts!! Been trying to update myself on all the threads, so pleased that Babs got her offer, I'm just behind her on my claim. My 28 days,(22.11.06 they had their ack of service with their intention of defending) is looming, still no response even though I've responded to their partial offer. If my calculations are right, they've got until tomorrow? Yikes!! :eek: Clare1981, how are you getting on?

ok, westy, no problem. i know you've read it all, you're a good 'un.

i'm having a brainwave here - i'm pressing people to send a copy of your breakdown (yes, again!) at this point, when they defend - just to bump you up and keep you at the top of the list. send it now: try here [email protected] or [email protected] (from dg). with a little: I enclose my breakdown of charges relating to claim XXXX for your information. short and sweet.

Just another quick question.....I'm due to be charged for further charges over the next couple of days.....can I include them on my revised list of charges?

 

You can only include them upto when you file the claim, After that you will need to submit a N244 to amend the claim this will cost £35 which you can not recover. The best thing to do is start another claim. Hope this helps.

Hi Livelylad......just thinking! I sent a copy of my charges to the court on the 17.11.06 and another copy to Debs on the 28.11.06. I rang her and got through to her colleague on the 12.12.06 to ask her to check if they got my copies and she would check and come back to me....still waiting! I've tried to ring again the Debs is away until the 3rd Jan! I've left another message for her colleague to ring me. Do you think I should send yet another copy of the charges?

Ok you have to go with the copy you sent when you filed MCOL. that is the amount you are claiming. As long as you sent a copy to the court and their solicitors then you will be fine.
