    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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'm so cross, spent all week in tears. I can't beleive they can rob us of our money like this.

August we go overdrawn a little bit, had no idea at the time as card (although we don't use it much) worked and bills paid.

Sat here now £400 over the overdraft, having spent not one penny of my husbands wages this month. They took everything and now all they are interested in is us paying it all back, abusing credit apparently. Which we haven't, they abused us. We are only in trouble because of all the fines which they imposed on us, they are treating me like I deliberatley spent money I didn't owe. I had no idea the card carries on working when you have nothing. By the time letters came to tell us it was too late. They'd fined us too much to escape.

I'm so cross, it wasn't like we'd gone out and bought a tv or a holiday. We'd just bought a couple quid too much petrol.

So i'm writing my letter now. Just so angry I don't know what to do with myself.

If you have a receipt for sending the letter, you need to write to Halifax (use address on site, not branch) and advise them that the 40day deadline started on the receipt date that you have, let them know how many days they have left to comply, and advise them that if they fail to comply, you will contact the Information Commisioner and make a formal complaint (Template Letter) and also advise that you will consider Court Action if they fail to comply.

You need to make them aware that they are working to YOUR timescales and not their own.

Halifax are not the worst when it comes to compliance, and I`m sure that if you take the action I reccommend, your statements etc will arrive on time.

Best of Luck, if you need any further advise, please let me know.

Thanks! Had a confirmation that we will get the information by the 22nd of december.

On top of all of this we find out my husbands wages have been lost..his employer bacs them to my account Friday and they never arrived. Also one reason for all the fines was in october my husband was only paid half of what he should've been. Weird thing is on pay day when we checked the account the full amount was there, on our bank statement since the amount has changed. Really odd.

Is the 22nd December within the 40 day limit?

I don`t quite understand how your husbands bacs payment can be `lost` - if his employers have record of it being sent, and can provide the receiving account details, you should be able to take this into the bank for them to put an instant trace on it, but given the issue with your husbands October pay, are you sure his employers made the bacs payment??

Yep, the 23rd would be the 40th day.

My husband isn't the only one with missing pay, the company has lost about £60k in wages! Left their bank (lloyds) but never reached the employees. Apparently there's no pattern to who it has happened to, all different banks on the receiving end involved.

I think they should just pay out again and then sort out the problem of missing money with the bank, not leave staff hanging on without money.

Under Employment law within the UK your husband has a right to be paid On Time, it forms part of the contract between your husband and his employer.

Even if the Bacs issue was geniune, it would only take your husbands employers a matter of minutes to reverse the payments out, and retrieve the wages, they would then be able to manually intervene (somthing that the banks like to do quite a lot!) to ensure that your husband was paid his wages.

If they have allowed you to go without money for nearly a week now? they have failed in their "Duty of Care" to their employees.

Your husband needs to get tough with them, as they are quite obviously not doing enough to resolve the situation.

A visit to the Citizens Advise may be of help to you as they should be able to assist in helping to resolve the issue.

Good Luck

Got all our statements (rather amusingly in separate envelopes..is this where the tenner goes?) today. I've totalled up £3712 over 4 years in charges.

Letter and schedule in the post tomorrow. Still working on the wages!

 

Just a couple of questions.. who do I address it too. I have had a good search of the forums and can't find a specific reference to the best address for the prelim request. I was thinking the HBOS trinity road HX1 2RG but is there a person/department best to address it too?

 

Also when you win, where does the money go? Do they send a cheque or credit the account?

Well got some money to file the claim online as that seemed the easiest way! I'll apply for a refund (mind you by looks of it my husband will have a new job by next week)!

 

So is there a letter you should enclose when sending the schedule of charges plus the 8% interest that I need to send to halifax now (as the particulars of claim say I will send another copy)?

I cannot post on the success board so will have to stick this here!

Halifax paid up £3,740 last week. It was the original amount we asked for before starting the claim with MCOL.

We lost the interest and charges due to our mistake on the MCOL site (I use firefox, and an important box to do with inputting the interest didn't pop up apparently)...we just didn't have the time to start again so accepted Halifax when they made the offer.

oh great! Got a letter today offering me the full amount plus court fees.

 

Dated the 6th of february!! So they sent the offer of full amount minus court fees after this letter which we accepted. Blimming royal mail!

 

Sign the acceptance and send it back to them, advise them in a letter that your gratefull for them sending you the improved offer which you accept in preference to their previous offer. Tell them that on receipt of the funds from this new offer you will contact the court and advise that the case has been settled (after cheque has cleared).
