    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf

    • 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 am looking forward to take this case for claims against Better Bathrooms. So I need some help here at this forum to proceed with this matter. Its not always about money or myself, but I want them to realize how much pain a consumer bears due to their incompetent staff and unmanageable working practices. My bathroom work is all paused and therefore leaving me in a very troubled situation now.

I placed an order in a BB (Better Bathrooms) store but even after 10 days of horrified experience, I didn't receive my order. I paid additional charges for next day delivery. But after a series of irresponsible events (like order was delivered to some other customer etc. etc.), they mentioned that some of the tiles I ordered are not in stock. So, I cancelled the order.

 


    Order was placed on Sat, 18th Oct 2014 for a next delivery at store in Slough. Order was paid upfront along with additional amount of around £50 for next delivery.


    As part of next day delivery commitment, order for tiles was committed to be delivered on Tue 21st Oct 2014. But it didn't arrive.


    I went to better bathrooms store in Slough same day (21st Oct) in the evening. I was committed by customer service and sales representatives that it will be delivered by Thur 23rd Oct 2014 and the next day amount will be returned. But no goods delivered and neither the next day delivery amount was returned.


    On Fri 24th Oct 2014, I kept on chasing for the order calling customer services and courier offices about the update on delivery of tiles. But not until the end of day it was found that the order was delivered to a wrong address in Surrey.


    On Sat 25th Oct 2014, I spoke with Sales Manager in the store who assured by the delivery by Tue, 28th Oct 2014.


    Again due to mismanaged operations from Better Bathrooms, the order did not arrive. I kept on chasing for this whole day.
    The store manager called again on 28th mentioning the order will be delivered Wed, 29th Oct 2014.


    While I was chasing courier company, they mentioned that they are not sure where the order is at the moment.


    We again went to store asking the manager about what's actually happening. I was told that they are still trying to search where the order is. Forcing the manager about the severity of situation, he raised a fresh order. But the same night, I was mentioned that there are not enough wall tiles in stock.


    So I cancelled the order.

Hi nit_mis

 

Welcome to CAG

 

Write a Formal Letter of Complaint, mark it as such. Explain what's happened (Ordered tiles 18th Oct. to be delivered on 21st Oct., paid £50 for next day delivery), how they have let you down (failed to deliver to date, subsequently poor customer service when chasing up the order, false promises made on numerous occasions, lack of organisation etc) and what you want them to do (deliver tiles and compensate).

 

Send it to:-

 

Mr Colin Stevens

Managing Director

Better Bathrooms

@rebel11

Thanks for your reply and guidance. I shall begin the process as you mentioned. I was unable to find right words earlier but your words are exactly the one I should be looking for :-)

 

@honeybee13

I think I had specified what had happened since I placed the order and cancellation of same. I had builders/plumbers all ready for the work. The set up was all done by them already for the tiles to finish-off bathroom. Due to this 10 days of delay, I had to pay additional labor charges.

Apart from money, 10 days completely lost due to delay of order. Even more because I had to go and find alternate options after cancellation and further delay of work.

It has also caused lots of stress. We had called our parents altogether from a different country just for this building work as we both (me and my spouse are in full time work) are full-time working and need someone to provide inside access to the builder. They are already gone now and the bathroom is still incomplete. The planning has been completely messed up.

  • 2 weeks later...

As mentioned, I have posted a complaint letter describing timelines to Better Bathrooms.

As expected, they apologized for inconvenience and disappointed at their service but did not commit to paying for compensation by pointing to terms and conditions.

I would like to fight for this as their 'sorry' wouldn't rectify 'consequential losses'.

Could you please prescribe next course of action?
