    • 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 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 was assaulted by an Argos delivery driver on Saturday who was delivering my homebase order.

 

The matter is being dealt with by the police but no one from homebase is contacting me and customerservice are not being allowed give the phone numbers of the relevant departmen.

 

I have a cracked rib as a result and I'm in a lot of pain. I just want to speak with someone who can take action on this.

 

Do any of you know who I can contact or what I should do

I think you would need to be in touch with someone at their Head office. Although if the police are dealing with it, they might have been advised by their legal team NOT to speak to you.

 

Perhaps a letter / email to their Head office.

If its part of an ongoing investigation, they will NOT speak to you or give you any info. You have to wait for the police to conclude their investigation first before you can take a private one.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You will not get a response while the Police are investigating this. They will not be allowed to.

 

All you can do is write to the Head Office of Argos to inform them of what happened and that the Police are investigating. They may not know of this, as the delivery company may not be part of the Argos group, but an outside company who does the work on their behalf.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes the complaint needs to be made writing to the company you had the order with.

 

Did not realise that there was any connection between Argos and Homebase.

We could do with some help from you.

It doesn't matter who was the driver as he was acting on behalf of Homebase so IMO they are ultimately responsible for taking action against the driver alongside the police.

wld think any civil remedy wld be against the driver and/or dhl. dhl not being part of retail group. their contract wld likely ensure that it doesnt include any such liability. though commercially it shld have an effect on their relationship re current/future contracts. and dhl being responsible for any internal action against the driver.

and, as has been asked, what though did actually happen. though obviously cant be answered atm.

Make sure you do not sign any confidentiality clause if you settle outside of criminal action. They WILL try and push it on you to make themselves look good.

What an awful experience to have happened to you. A cracked rib is very painful & I do hope you are feeling much better soon.

 

I would suggest you do make sure your injuries are documented by your GP & the Hospital (I'm assuming you have been).

 

As you may be in need of this, for any claim you may make against the Driver in the future.

 

Sending you get well hugz!

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single minute of it!!

I heard from the police this evening and he has denied and it's my word against his so there is very little that can be done so here is my story.

 

I placed an order and it was arranged to be going upstairs.

1st delivery didn't turn up

2nd delivery the guy appeared to be delivering kerbside

 

I queried, and told him that it was no good. I had arrangements with the office. and he started with h&s. There were queries and I was told by office that if product didn't fit the room that they would take it away.

I got annoyed due to previous arrangements and went in to get phone to call office. I came out and delivery guys were leaving

I called after them said where the hell are ye going I'm ringing the office

Older guy shouts at me " you can't fu****g tell me what to do, your not myfu***ng wife.

There is a 50m walk to van and I stupidly followed them ask d a no of times to return the delivery as I was phoning office and I was ignored

I photographed van reg and tried to photograph him as he hit my mobile out of my hands, I have a pic of this.

I advised I was calling either phone or police, I called 999 as he put my delivery in the back of the van.

He got into the van as I was talking to 999 and I asked them to speak with driver , as far as I was concerned my delivery could be being stolen as him taking it was illogical

I'm tiny, 4ft 11 and here was my mistake, I opened the van door and stood on the step to hand him the phone. He pushed me out of the van with such force he cracked a rib in my chest.

 

That's my story, cops could hear everything and can't see the assualt. I should have videoed not photographed with my Mobile :(

The 999 call would have been recorded. Plus, you have a pic of him hitting mobile out of your hands?

 

Maybe he did not like being recorded, but he is in a public area and you can legally record him.

 

Do you have any witnesses to this assault? Neighbours?

So due to health and safety, he was unable to deliver? seems fair.

Due to him not delivering, you got agressive with them "where the hell you going" etc, so he told you your not his wife and put the order back on the truck. seems fair, he is not there to be spoken to like that.

In all honesty, most people having a camera shoved in their face wont like that either and if you are recording so close that you are in his pesonal space he may well be entitled to lash out in defence.

Being a tiny women is no defence for climbing into the cab with a the delivery driver. he probably had no idea what you were doing and rightly pushed you out of his personal space. You may find that you have caused the injury to yourself in this instance.

That said, its just my outside view looking in and could be way off the mark.

I do hope you are ok and heal soon. I have once broke a rib and hope i dont get it again.

Unfortunately as it was the drivers side it was hidden, the 999 call has me recorded clearly asking him to speak to the police to tell them what he was doing.

 

He got aggressive first swearing at me, I should have said this was in front of my 6 yr old.

 

I was expecting this to be delivered as per the arrangementade and promised at the time of ordering.

 

I had gone into the house to get my phone to ring homebase to try and establish why the delivery was being dropped kerbside

 

He did not wait to allow me to ring

 

He did not tell me he was leaving or give me a reason why he was leaving

 

Deliverys are tracked via the van and a tracking device. The delivery was in excess of 300, he could have been stealing it for all I know.

 

My husband had also worked for them as a temp and I know and I am aware of their delivery requirements/ protocol
