    • where? reflection of a sign on the bonnet but no PCN yellow env... W3 SAR documents v2.pdf
    • They didn't turn up because they knew they would lose so they saved the cost of sending a brief saving them a couple of hundred pounds at least. But still a big relief for you now that it's all over . So congratulations plus you can enjoy your trip that much more. 
    • I will try again...................... Even at my age there is quite clearly a PCN envelope by the windscreen wipers on your car on some of the photos.  But as I said in the IPC letter, that is not the dispute. The dispute is that CPM sent you the second PCN on the 28 th day of the issue date of the first PCN. It should not have been sent until the day AFTER the original PCN was issued. Therefore they broke the Act, they breached the IPC Code of Conduct and their agreement with the DVLA. It is something that the IPC cannot ignore since to do so will bring the ICO down on them and the DVLA should ban CPM from getting data from them once they know if the ICO do nothing. The minimum I expect is that your PCN will be cancelled. But it is up to you. I have given you the details, you have copies of both PCNs sent to you on the sar  with all  the relevant dates.

    • The Private Parking Code of Parking has been postponed as the poor dears are frightened that thew will all go out of business once it becomes Law. We all wish but nothing could be further from the truth so doubtless most of them will have to change their ways if they don't want to be removed as approved parking companies. Thank you for still retaining and producing the original PCN which, no surprise, fails to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. [It even states the vehicle "breeched" the terms  when it was the driver that allegedly breached the terms}. It fails to specify the Parking Period and whilst it does show the arrival and departure ANPR times on the photographs [that I cannot read] they do not include how long you actually parked nor was it specified on the Notice  [photos don't count]. So that means that you spent even less time parked though it would help had you not blocked out the dates and times, so good if you could please include them on your next  post. Pofa  asks the driver to pay the charge S( [2][b] which your PCN doesn't though they do ask the keeper to pay.and they have missed out theses words in parentheses S9[2][f] ii)  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; All of those errors mean that the cannot transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now responsible . What a rubbish Claim Form -doesn't even give the date of the event which it should.

    • 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?
