    • No you don't have to pay them.  it is their scam which the Courts know about. There was a classic case a few years ago that decided that £100 was not a penalty because that company had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear of cars that overstayed etc because they were there to maximise the availability of car park spaces. As Starbucks was closed in your case, Met have no legitimate interest so their £100 charge IS a penalty. Therefore the case would be thrown out. if they took you to Court and you turned up in Court to defend yourself. So no you shouldn't pay.
    • Thank you as always. Okay, will contact Tesco and will ignore the appeal, and will let you know what happens. You guys are superheroes.

    • 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, great forum this, hope somebody can advise.

 

I was planning to move my Smile account and wanted copies of the old statements without paying their extortionate printing fees. A CAG SAR template letter seemed just the ticket! Having seen in a forum about accounts being closed by banks following a SAR I thought it best to wait until it I had done the closing as part of an account transfer.

 

So, account transferred, SAR sent soon after, and my copy of the personal data has finally arrived (maybe late, I will have to check), but no statements! Just secure messages and tax transactions. Surely they keep statement data, for a few months at least? And would that not be part of a SAR? Is there anything to justify challenging them on this?

 

Cheers

 

Mike

Did you specifically request those statements to be included in the SAR?

 

Have they had the full 40 days in which to respond?

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!

Careful with wording.

 

Askign for statements means they can charge you for each statement!!!!

 

Ask for "Transaction List" instead

Thank you both for your responses.

 

 

They sent their response right on the deadline, so they were on time I suppose.

 

 

I used the CAG Full Subject Access Request and if I remember did not feel the need to modify it. (the PDF that I saved has been corrupted somehow)

 

 

Variation of terminology is always possible so I just left the definition wide open as stated on the template. But if I do chase it then 'Transaction List' may well be the best option.

 

 

Any opinions on whether Smile would have kept the transaction data?

Of course they have it, they havent sent it because then you'd know exactly what theyve been upto all these years.

 

As advised, ask for a transaction list
