    • 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 on this topic 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.

I've banked with abbey for over 20 years,Never been overdrawn,until last month when I went overdrawn by very small amounts 3 times for just £3.24 This was not one transaction, I did not have an authorised overdraft (never needed one)

I am on income support and when payment went in the bank

and I went to go shopping,I found I couldnt I had no money in my account.They had Taken £170 in charges for unaurorised overdraft

I now have no money for 2 weeks.and as i pay my electric & gas thru a card meter,this really caused me great hardship.

When I checked statement,the first charge was £30 for £3.24 overdrawn.

Then when a direct debit was due GUESS WHAT not enough funds another £30 charged and so on.My son contacted them by phone,firstly they said they could only Refund £50 as gwg.He then spoke to a manager who Refunded a total of £110, But said I have a further £110 charges to be

added next month.

I have found your site very helpful,and has given me the courage to pursue a claim!! even though i'm a nearly pensioner,I certainly would not have had the bottle to do this on my own.

 

SO I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH

 

THANX THANX THANX

Hi Shazbaz,

If there is a possibility that you have incurred charges before then I'd send the data protection request letter. All letters are in library templates.

I think that there is a letter somewhere on here that you can send then basically saying that you live on benefits and assigning your benefits so that they cannot touch them, perhaps a search on benefits might throw this up, or it anyone can shed some light on this

Hi just a quick update, I have just received my statements and am now in the process of asking for my charges back.As I thought this is the first time I have had charges taken from my account,and it is not a great deal compared to others, I think it totals about £170. But as i am only on benefits it is a great deal to me,so do i just send the second letter asking for a refund of my charges,Any advice please.

 

:) thanks:) in advance.

Hi shazbaz, its not the amount, its the fact that it is your money that they have unlawfully taken.

 

Send the first letter, found in the library letter, have you done the spreadsheet with does the adding up for you with the 8% interest? send that with your letter, without the 8% interest

 

 

Hope this helps

HI update !!!!!!

:)

I Received Letter today,offering £100 the full charges are £190 as a gwg,stating the charges do not contravene the unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations 1999 and also comply with the office of fair trading.

any information registered with the credit reference agencies is a true and factual reflection of the situation on your account,we are required by the information commisioner to register and share information on how customers run their accounts,Because of this we are unable to remove or alter the information that is held.However when the outstanding balance is paid in full although the default will remain it will be marked as satisfied.

xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxx

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am very disappointed with your response to my letter of [xxdatexx] I respectfully decline your offer and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totaling £xxxx

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

 

I now understand that the regime of 'fees' which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent Consumer regulations.

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

 

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary.

 

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX.

I am enclosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the [XXDATE OF FIRST LETTERXX]

 

Additionally if you have entered a default notice against my credit record. This default occurred merely in respect of unlawful charges levied by you or was the result of impecuniosity caused directly by the taking by you of penalty charges which you had applied unlawfully to my account.

 

In addition to full payment of the sum mentioned above I require that you remove the said default entry from the register. Please note that mere correction or amendment to the entry will not be acceptable.

 

I require repayment in full of this money and removal of any default notice. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus a claim under ss.7 and 13 of the Data Protection Act 1998 plus my costs and without further notice.

 

Furthermore, I shall submit a Consumer Credit Act 1974 complaint to the OFT upon the basis that you have failed to comply with the OFT's direction of 5 April 2006 and are therefore not a 'fit and proper person' to hold a consumer credit licence under the 1974 Act. If you do not understand what this means then seek advice from your legal department.

 

 

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

Any help or suggestions, appreciated !!!!!!!!!

Have they defaulted your account? If not then delete the red text.

Do you fully intend to submit a complaint to the OFT. If not then delete the blue text.

 

Otherwise it's fine.

 

Stick to your own timetable, not theirs.

 

Regards, Rooster.
