    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Gotcha. Thank you so much. I just need someone to reassure me. I can't talk to no one. I feel so depress at the moment. :(

Thank you so much guys. I know im in the right website. I will never do it again ever. I was just too lazy to go on the que that's why I tried to sneak the stuff worth 6 pounds and it was totally not worth it. You know everytime I'm reminded with that incident I still feel shaking and heart beat faster. I was really scared and traumatized the way they treat. I still can't hold my tears back. And I think this will be the longest nightmare I will have for my life. I wish I could I hug all of you . You're all very helpful with my emotional and mental aspects at the moment. I hope you won't get tired helping others who realized and accepted their mistakes. And thank you for not judging. :(

Are you sure that primark cannot press charges afterwards? They have the CCTV I am guessing of the op stealing, so surely they can prove the accusation and bring about a prosecution retrospectively?

 

Or is there a time limit to be able to press charges?

They could, but they won't.

 

Question - Why did Primark not choose to involve the Police at the time?

Answer - Because we have an arrangement whereby we get an outside company to try and extract more money than a court would award us in compensation in the event of a prosecution. When the person doesn't play ball we thought that we might as well ask the police to prosecute instead!

 

 

That is what it comes down to, so it will not happen for very obvious reasons.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

Primark will not press charges on £6. That is ALMOST guaranteed. They would prefer instead to either call the police, or give you a slap on the wrist.

They cant press charges, they can make a complaint to the police who can investigate and make recommendationd to the CPS but this will not be in the public interest for such a low value. RLP can do nothing except try and make you feel guilty about the matter enough to persuade you to pay them good money for nothing.

I'm not saying they would prosecute, if it's first offence the police would only caution anyway I'm guessing, rather than going to cps route.

 

Just before getting the thread back on track people, the police do not prosecute anyone. they send the evidence to the CPS who do make the prosecution. The Police only charge.

 

A complaint can be made by Primark but it is still down to the CPS to agree to prosecute. The CPS are publicly funded and for such a low value crime, they will not take it any further.

Hey Jaya

 

Hope you're doing good?

 

I am in the same situation you were in a few months back. I shoplifted at Primark and now i completely regret it.

 

I was caught, taken to a back door, took my name and address and then they let me go. No police involvement.

 

However, I am an international student leaving the country in a few days and i intend to return back to the Uk later this year.

 

You mentioned in your posts back then that you are also an international student, so i was hoping you'd be able to help answer a few questions.

 

Did you later pay the fine?

When you left the country, were there any strange happenings at the airport because of your shoplifting issue?

Have you tried reapplying for a re-entry into the UK and was it successful?

So far, have you experienced any problems due to the shoplifting issue.

 

I am really worried and deeply need your help in answering these questions.

 

I hope to read from you soon.

 

Thank you and best regards,

Zaha.

When you left the country, were there any strange happenings at the airport because of your shoplifting issue? - NO POLIVE INVOLVENT = NO WORRIES

Have you tried reapplying for a re-entry into the UK and was it successful? - RLP CAN NEVER EFFECT THAT

So far, have you experienced any problems due to the shoplifting issue.

 

I am really worried and deeply need your help in answering these questions.

 

I hope to read from you soon.

 

Thank you and best regards,

Zaha.

 

 

please simply TOTALLY forget it ever happened

 

 

RLP CAN DO NOTHING TO YOU

or HARM YOU IN ANYWAY

NOTHING they do or imply ever happens.

Hi

have a read of this thread as it may put your mind at rest.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?430028-shoplifter-TXMAX-visa**Got-a-Visa**&p=4586313&viewfull=1#post4586313

 

RLP (and the others) don't report anything to official bodies. It is only where a CRIMINAL case (not a civil claim) where this may affect visa applications and as such you should have nothing to worry about especially from this 'company'

As a security officer in primark. Cctv is done without a cctv licence.

 

Very interesting. Are you able to quantify that?

 

Is it possible that the head office has the licence whereas the individual stores do not?
