    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

serious advice needed here guys and gals,

 

 

I had a bottle of gorilla glue ( its an expanding glue )

 

 

my dog managed to get it and is currently in hospital after having a serious operation to remove this vile stuff and will probably suffer life long issues due to the serious chemical burns she has suffered internally,

 

 

there is NOTHING on the bottle with regards to ingestion of this product or the fact that it has a sweet smell which could attract children or animals.

 

 

I think this is a dangerous issue and would like to know who i contact with this and also whether i have any legal grounds against the company as

 

 

i am very angry, upset and scared for my beloved pet right now,

and with a £1800 vet bill on top to add to my distress

The dog got to the glue because you left it in an accessible place. As the dog cannot read, putting a warning on the tube would be of little use if you don't keep the glue under lock and key. Maybe the dog should sue you.

Gorilla Glue contains toxic ingredients that give off vapours that should not be inhaled. Gorilla Glue is flammable. If it combusts, dangerous chemical conditions may occur. Users report problems with Gorilla Glue drying in the bottle after a single use or a few uses. This is due to the nature of the glue, which begins curing with even slight moisture from the air and exposure to the air. Pets have been known to ingest Gorilla Glue with disastrous results. Because moisture initiates the bonding and curing process, ingested glue will foam and swell inside the animal and harden. It usually cannot be removed and is fatal. The glue is reported to taste like peanuts and maple syrup and is attractive to dogs and cats.

If there are known issues with this product and it carries no warnings about them then I think that you have a valid basis for a complaint.

I'm away at present and can't do much but there is consumer protection legislation which deals with damage caused by defective products. A product can be defective even if the product is OK but the instructions are defective, which could be the case here.

 

Start with the Consumer Protection Act. I think it is 1987

yeah cheers for that Geoff1248 fyi the glue was in a storage container in a cupboard. You dont think i feel guilty enough without a stupid thoughtless comment like that?? If i was interested in sueing them or making a quick buck i wouldnt be getting myself into a **** load of debt saving her. She may just sound like a dog to you but she is MY FAMILY and my concern is if a dog can access it from a box in a cupboard then a child could too and there should be SOME KIND OF ADVICE regarding ingestion as well as the advice regarding inhalation and skin contact. Children of a certain age cant read either so CONSTRUCTIVE advice is required not stupid judgmental comments

Think you should write to Wilko head office to make them aware of this issue, so they can warn other consumers. As Bankfodder suggests, check the warnings on the product and if these are inadequate, then think about what you can do. Would Trading Standards be interested ?

We could do with some help from you.

S.3 (2)In determining for the purposes of subsection (1) above what persons generally are entitled to expect in relation to a product all the circumstances shall be taken into account, including—

 

(a)the manner in which, and purposes for which, the product has been marketed, its get-up, the use of any mark in relation to the product and any instructions for, or warnings with respect to, doing or refraining from doing anything with or in relation to the product;

 

(b)what might reasonably be expected to be done with or in relation to the product; and

and nothing in this section shall require a defect to be inferred from the fact alone that the safety of a product which is supplied after that time is greater than the safety of the product in question.

 

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1987/43

 

Check that this the latest legislation on this. I think it is but it won't have changed if it isn't.

You have a right of civil action.

I wouldn't bother trying to send emails etc out contacting TS.

I would simply get all the ve t's evidence and a vet's statement that it was caused by the glue.

I would then send a 14 day LBA and then sue. Assuming that you feel that you can show that they are in breach of the Act, of course.

If you start trying to have a reasonable dialogue, they will lead you round by the nose.

 

Also get print outs of any incidents or complaints you find on the internet.

I suggest that you visit the Gorilla Glue web site. Go to the page SDS ( safety data sheets) and look at the EU data. There are certain logos that you may see printed on the label. These logos have a specific meaning such as "hazardous if ingested". These logos are meant to replace a written hazard leaflet and assume that the user will see the hazard warning logos on the product and act accordingly.

Check the bottle/tube to see if these logos are present.

Did you purchase the glue in a shop or online??

 

Excuse my ignorance as i have never heard of this glue before

 

 

It's advertised on television. A man fixing his garden gate.

Do your chairs in your house have "Do not eat" on them? How about the TV?

 

Perhaps the manufacturer of Gorilla Glue should also put the following:

 

- Do not use as saline solution

- Do not smoke

- Do not use as hair gel

- Do not use as a sexual lubricant

It sounds as though despite all of the warnings on the bottle and you hiding it in a cupboard your dof wilfully ate the glue. This suggests that you dog is dangerously out of control and as such you have committed an offence in letting it behave as it did. I'm not sure whether anthropromorphism goes as far as assisted suicide for pets or you could be in trouble for aiding and abetting the death of your dog.

All this is about as likely as you winning a legal claim against the glue manufacturer or retailer. Give up on these foolish thought otherwise you will be having more large bills to pay.
