    • Thank you again. I'm hoping it will come out in the wash and will endeavour to check my online account. I'm a bit unsettled by not hearing from Booking.com but the host is sounding helpful at the moment. HB
    • I've just remembered that a friend of mine had bookings cancelled on Booking.com about a month ago - and the good news is that all worked out in the wash. I'm at work now but will scribble properly in a couple of hours with the full tale.
    • Thank you Dave. I've had nothing from Booking.com, just a message via the site from the host. I know I need to check my bank account, just trying to resolve some technical issues. HB

    • 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.

A flat which I have just acquired isin a block where the parking is controlled by UKPC. I have beenspeaking to some other leaseholders who have complained about being harassed this company. The headlease holder is a Housing Associationand I intend to lobby them to sack this pariah.

 

I have spent hours searching theinternet for a case where UKPC have actually taken someone to court,but drawn a blank, although I am aware of the Trading Standards fiasco in Hull Crown Court, and also of the bloody nose administeredto them by Roger Davey.

 

Can anyone dish any more dirt please? Were they clampers in a former life, if so were they taken to court?,

From what I've been reading about MET..they use debt recovery agencies to take people to court. UKPC may do something similar.

 

That would not be possible, a debt collector would need to own the debt to take someone to court, since there never is a debt to own then they could never take action themselves, unless they have an in house solicitor. However even then the solicitor would be acting for the originator ie: the PPC.

 

UKPC have claimed for many years that they have taken people to court, even had a rolling list on their website of successful claims, however several FOI requests to the MOJ have proven they have never issued a claim.

you say other leaseholders have been harassed, then this is the way forward if you have concerns about their behaviour. The first port of call would be the HA as you note and point out that they are responsible not for the parking control but for the harassment of people preventing their "quiet enjoyment" of their property. Let them know that the liability begins and ends with them and that you expect any trespass or harassment will be dealt with in a summary cessation of their services or face civil action themselves. If those who have suffered are willing to put their name on the letter then that will be better as it will be harder to ignore. They cannot just ignore your letter but I would send it to the chariman of the trustees as well as to the head of the management.

UKPC have plenty of bad press so point this out to them esp the complaints of breaches of DPA and telling lies in their advertising. This may give the HA cause to claim misrepresentation in thegaining of the contract and allow a quick exit

]THE TRUTH ABOUT UKPC PARKING CONTROL LTD. I used to work for this rip off firm. All warden MUST reach their targets otherwise they are sacked. All ukpc wardens get a bonus for tickets they issue. The payments were as follows. 20 to 30 = £2.00 per ticket. 30 to 40 = £3 per ticket. 40 to 50 = £4 per ticket. 50 onwards is £5 per ticket. As you can see a warden can earn a lot of money while it lasts. The company would tell us to issue ghost tickets which means we issue a ticket to a car. Take all the photos then remove the ticket. This means the driver never knows about the ticket until he or she gets a letter demanding £90. of course they have missed the time to pay £50 within fourteen days because the ticket was removed. Also we were told to hide to get tickets. We were told to ticket for no blue badge on the dash even though we could see it in the door well. The company would cancel the ticket when they seen a photo copy of the badge BUT would charge the driver £15 admin fee. We were told to take photos at a certain angel when a car was over the white line. This was to make it look worse should the driver appeals. We were told NEVER to advice anyone that they can appeal to POPLA because it costs ukpc £23 for this appeal. My advise NEVER PAY A PENNY TO THESE CONMEN. THE TICKET IS NOT WORTH THE PAPER ITS PRINTED ON. PLEASE COPY THIS AND POST ON OTHER SITES. THANK YOU FOR READING THE TRUTH

Some follow up.

 

 

I was talking to th block manager the other day about another issue. The HA are fed tp with UKPC and have sappointed a "better company", PCM, I despair.

Can't the leaseholders form an Association and demand the PPC is booted out as they are not needed?

We could do with some help from you.

tell the manager that he will be sued along with the parking co if they ticket anyone who has a right to park. Doesnt matter if he is employed by HA you can still name him as co-respondent as he would have a vicarious liability (and if he didnt the HA would have own up to take the hit)
