    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you 
    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks

    • 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 have been trying to log into my account to pay my £10 monthly amount,

although I can log in it will not let me view my account,

make a payment or use their email contact form to ask them what is going on,

I just keep getting access denied...

 

The only line which seems open to me is to phone them, which I will not do.

I wonder if they are pushing me to make contact or could their site have a problem.

 

Sometimes it says server error but this has been going on for days - every other part of the site works.

Never thought of that - is it easy I know what bacs is if I go to my bank online will it tell me what to do.

I don't have their bank details so cannot do that.

I will send a cheque to cover this payment - little late but at least I have paid.

 

If they have stopped my online payment, and the fact they keep pestering for more money I am going to look at harassment.

pleae don't send a cheque

no need tooo..

 

 

you don't need their bank details

most banks intereweb site have drop down lists you select creditors from.

so pay bills section

credit cards

find MBNA

all you need is your [MBNA]card number

that's the reference number you use.

 

 

that's now I pay all my bills

don't have any DD's set up

or ring anyone or goto any other sites

and input my card details either.

 

 

that way

anything goes wrong

its MY banks at error and you can get it back ..

Spoke to my bank and I have set up a standing order for the £10 a month with this they cannot take more than the agreed amount without my authorization.

 

If they are trying to make me default or get in contact with them then at least I can say I have kept up my payments.

 

I have the emails I sent them asking why they have denied me access to my online account which they neve replied to (before they denied me access to their email account).

 

I know I might have done wrong in paying them but I have to keep life as simple as possible it;s the only way I can handle my illness.

 

See what they come up with next, but at least I can keep all this proof as to my harrassment claim if needed.

  • 4 months later...

After they stopped me paying online last year (they said they were overhauling the site)

I set up a standing order which has/is being paid.

 

PRA keep emailing me to say they cannot trace the first two payments, (well they left the account)

I suggested they contact my bank and find out where they went (surely this is their problem not mine)

Since then they have been hassling me,

 

 

today they have threatened to take further action (action over what I am not sure)

my bank statements show the money left the account, which is the amount agreed by PRA.

 

I have told them no phone calls, (to which they seem to ignore and keep saying they are trying to contact me) well if they are they leave no message, so is this a lie.

 

Due I ignore the threat of further action, I AM PAYING - what more can I do.

 

Please any help,

as I cannot cope with the emails going over the same thing time and time again,

I know what they are up to,

they hope I will cave in and offer more,

but there is NO MORE.

 

Is there a ombudsman or something, as I am meeting their agreed payment.

 

Thank You.

I never said I blocked the emails,

I just want to know who is responsible for finding the money they say they never received from my bank, them or me.

I can prove if needs be that the money left the account.

 

They have said if I do not reply to them either by phone or email they will find another way to contact me,

this can only mean a house visit (can they do this).

 

I don't want to play games I just need to know what 'rights' they have if any.

 

Thanks

well you should block them.

you are responsible to find the money its yours..

go ring your bank and ask them to recall the payments.

 

 

doesn't matter if they threaten/make a home visit

they are NOT BAILIFFS

and you can the police on 101 if they do that.
