    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8.

    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (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; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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.

Hi all

My first post.

My son banks with NatWest and as done so since he was 16 (Now 22) he went overdrawn by £0.58 back in April this year. He had not used his account since then as he wasn't working just studying hard before going to University.

 

Anyway long story short 3 weeks ago we went into the branch to change his account for a Student Account as he needed an overdraft facility and his normal account had no overdraft facility.

 

This is when we found out he had gone £0.58 O/D and since April had put charges on his account totalling £146.00 so as you can guess shocked was an understatement

 

They have now withdrew the charges as a matter of "Good Will" however they will give him a Student Account with No Overdraft. We also have found out they have marked his Credit Rating, this as stopped him opening a Student Account with any other bank.

 

They also REFUSE to remove his mark from the Credit Rederance Agency. My question 1 can they do this? If so how can we get his file clean so he can get an Overdraft as he is going to need it while at University.

 

Sorry for the long post but any help advice really would help my Son

Thank you all in advance

Did the bank send regular statements showing that he was overdrawn and interest being added ?

 

If not, then you might be able to appeal to the CEO at their Head/Registered office address.

 

That seems to be an awful lot of charges on £0.58 in just under 6 months ?

I thought Natwest had a buffer incase this happened!?!?!?!?! (Removed)

 

 

As a treat, I have included an email so you know just how bad things can get with Natwest;

 

Good Afternoon Ross

 

No doubt your personal assistant will pass this on to your Executive Team. Or maybe onto some low paid, slave labour death camp worker who is paid minimum wage to file into the section B for Bin?

Did that last bit make you laugh?

 

It did me and I got that from a wonderful person call the artist taxi driver. He is a Youtube blogger who has incredibly funny. But I would imagine having all those board meetings you don’t get time to go on Youtube.

 

So here is my current state of affairs dealing with RBS Group.

 

I’ve escaped… YES! I left you in February to join Nationwide and This was the best move that I’ve had in the last 3 years. Their service is phenomenal compared to the RBS Bandwagons. I even got my contactless card, Flexplus account benefits and haven’t had to complain once! They have laughed at the times that I’ve told them stories about RBS Group’s behaviour.

 

But… I must say, after leaving I thought this would be the end but No, you lost both my SAR Requests that I had sent in. In fact 2 days ago, after 5 months of faffing around, I finally got my SAR info at home and I am NOT impressed.

 

I’ve seen some comments that are unacceptable and quite frankly, I would like to bring them to your attention.

I also want to state exactly what will be my next steps and I guarantee you, it’s not going to be pretty.

 

I was willing to let this drop but the fact that your staff members can be extremely unprofessional when leaving written notes that the customer can see in these circumstances, I don’t think it’s appropriate to just let it go.

 

Dated 12th March 2014

Customer has been identified as a serial complainer with the possibility of looking to rebank the customer.

 

5th December 2014

This is the latest in a long line of complaints by Fkofilee

Our relationship is at a very low Ebb.

I have suggested that Fkofilee make alternative banking arrangements

 

21st January 2015

Customer is a serial complainer and fos Rights Issued

 

17th February 2015

Looking at the Customer History, there are 11 service related cases in the last 3 months

 

These are already on the Consumer Action Group forum. This is just the Natwest Comments. The RBS ones I will be keeping to myself for now.

I’ve already had a discussion with the Guardian today and they have said they may run with it in a story.

 

You threatened to close my account because you were unhappy that I had raised so many justified complaints points, some of them were even repeats of issues. And they didn’t stop even after I left with the whole Vodafone fiasco where the Direct Debit details kept getting changed because of your system mismanagement.

 

I have now had it up to here. Every single thing that has taken its toll, I have lost the will to care with the group.

 

Remember, you put me in debt back in 2012 when you didn’t cancel my card correctly and then told me I’d had to prosecute my brother because he had use my card to pay for a Wonga loan. Eventually I have up with your company. Last year I spent in excess of a third of my time and energy chasing after your company. I wasn’t bothered about the compensation, In fact Half the time I wanted to say no because it felt like tainted money from a bank that didn’t care.

 

I wanted RBS to care about me as a customer and they made it clear time and time again they didn’t want to know.

 

I am now going to put my foot down and tell you exactly what you are going to do. You promised you would write off the account from RBS Group that went into default. I now have that letter in my possession and should RBS enter debt sale again them Ill happily show it to whichever lapdog puppy you farm it out to.

 

I am going to take all of the comments public and also send them onto Martin Lewis who will have a field day with your reputation and the amount of people that read Moneysavingexpert.

 

I have all the SAR Paperwork filed and scanned to my Cloud storage. Accessible for when I need something.

 

I will give you one chance. Remove the RBS default otherwise, Im going to go public with everything I have. After your IT issues you’ve had, you do not need another bad piece of journalism.

 

If you refuse, then its off the national papers and the FOS and I will let an adjudicator decide what’s best.

 

I always try to deal with a company professionally, but its comment like the above that give a real insight into how banks treat their customers.

 

And remember, every single raised complaint was justified. More than 80% were found in my favour.

 

Read and learn that RBSgroup are a pain. Consequently, they will bury their heads in the sand.

Thank you for your reply

The Bank claims they sent statements and email he did not get any I did check his email incase they went to junk. But no not one,he paid no money in or drew on his account since April. The rate of charges is £6.00 per day to a max of 20 day per month or so. All I want is to let him have his credit file clean so he can a overdraft. Being a student living in London he will need it.

I asked the bank to do that but they refuse point blank as they dropped the charges

You could send a Subject Access Request to them, this should provide you with a communications log (diary of events) - this will show if they did send these or not.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387306-Full-Subject-Access-Request-**Updated-January-2015**

 

It will cost £10.00 and they 40 calendar days in which to comply - you should send to their Head/Registered office address.

 

However, try Ross McEwan at the email address that fkofilee has provided and see how you get on with that first.

Exactly! And I'm pretty sure that they can't enforce nor report to the CRA's regarding a debt made up solely of banks own charges?

Well escalate to the CEOs office. If you need help then let us know.

Well both are correct. The funds are earmarked from the Available Balance, but the Retailer takes the funds within 3 days normally but sometimes longer.

What transaction took him over?

Well your complaint should follow as below...

 

1: The account was one where no overdraft facility was provided as it was a child's account - so how was it allowed to go into O/D. You could explain here about the delay in taking Debit card payments.

2: No statements or emails, which the bank claim to have sent, were received - one or two might go missing, but 6 month's worth ?

3: The first you discover there was a problem was when trying to open a Student account.

4: They are prepared to ruin a young man's financial future for £0.58 (because anything added on was purely a money making machine for the bank)

Any current account (even a basic account) can go overdrawn.

There are 2 types of overdraft an arranged overdraft and an unarranged overdraft.

 

Basic accounts tend not to come with arranged overdrafts but can definitely go into unarranged overdrafts.

With basic accounts they are less likely to accept a payment which would take you into an unarranged overdraft. Although, sometimes the bank doesn't get the opportunity to stop and decline card payments which would take you into an unarranged overdraft because the retailer doesn't check the transaction with the bank before processing it.

 

Either way an unarranged overdraft of £0.58 would not lead to any charges with Natwest so some info is definitely missing here.

 

It doesn't technically look like the bank has actually done anything wrong, so if you are to contact/complain to them then keep it polite and try and appeal to their better nature.

Banks and better nature?

 

This is the UK, where the banks hold customers in contempt, we're nothing but numbers and profit to them, they do nothing for anyone except themselves,

so appealing to their better nature is fruitless, tell, demand, and instruct them to do as you say, otherwise close the account and vote with your feet.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Any current account (even a basic account) can go overdrawn.

There are 2 types of overdraft an arranged overdraft and an unarranged overdraft.

 

Basic accounts tend not to come with arranged overdrafts but can definitely go into unarranged overdrafts.

With basic accounts they are less likely to accept a payment which would take you into an unarranged overdraft. Although, sometimes the bank doesn't get the opportunity to stop and decline card payments which would take you into an unarranged overdraft because the retailer doesn't check the transaction with the bank before processing it.

I can assure you nothing is missing,I saw the screen in the Bank showing he was £0.58 OD next transaction was the first of £6.00 Daily charge and so on. No withdrawals made just charges applied from end of April 15 to our contact in August 15 when we wanted a Student Account

We have opened a new account at another Bank BUT he can't get a Student Account with an Overdraft because they have BLACK Marked his Credit File
