    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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 just noticed that at the bottom of the letter Cobbets say,

 

" Whilst this letter is written without prejudice save as to costs, in the event that you decline this offer, we will draw this letter to the Courts attention on the basis that we hold the firm view that this offer is entirely reasonable in the circumstances. This offer will remain open for 7 days until Friday 26 January 2007."

Perhaps I have answered my own question and that it would be wise to notify the Court.

Anybody reassure me?

You dont have to notify the courts, just keep copies of any letters you recieve and send for your court bundle. This is their standard tactic before they offer you the full amount. Not long now. :D

Thanks for the quick reply livelylad. I was writing to the Court on another matter so it has saved me hanging about.

 

When you say, "Send for your court bundle," what does that mean?

Sorry if I come across as thick but I just try to take it one step at a time and keep to the timetable.

I do remember seeing something a while back in the library I think

Whoa,, got a bit of a shock this morning in a letter from Cobbets. They have enclosed a copy of their Allocation Questionnaire and in Section G, other information they have put,

 

"Case management directions cannot be proposed until the Claimant serves a Reply to the Request for Further Information whch was due on 16th January 2007.In light of this, the Defendant may amend its Defence or apply to strike out"

I sent them a reply on 10th January with this information. Does anybody think they are trying it on? Would I be wise to ring them up and arrange to fax them another copy? Also, should I inform the Court that I have already sent them this information?

 

I really didnt expect this because I have done everything as to the timetable and as far as I can see all the relevant information has been sent to Cobbets and the Court.

 

I would appreciate any comments

Just bumping this up to see if anybody else has had such a reply from Cobbets.

I dont know whether they are just playing for time or have genuinely not received my reply to their Request for Further Information.

Just remembered that I sent the reply to Cobbets, Request for Further Information by recorded delivery.

I went on the Royal Mail website and lo and behold, an electronic proof of delivery and a copy of signature.

So Cobbets are either incompetent or are telling porkys.

Any ideas how to handle this?

yep, sounds like stalling tactic to me. Have you already filed your AQ? I don't see why allocation needs to be held up by a Pt 18 request. The reality of the matter, of course, is that Cobbetts and RBS very well understand the nature of the claim that you are making by virtue of the raft of cases of this sort that they are receiving. Accordingly, I doubt that any District Judge (on allocation or otherwise) would be impressed by this tactic!

Thanks for the reply

 

Yes, I filed my AQ a few days ago.

I have supplied the Courts and Cobbets with everything necessary I think so I might just ring Cobbets and then make the Courts aware of what is going on.

What do you think?

I thought I would update this and hopefully grab any advice going out there.

 

I re-sent all previous information to Cobbets, schedule of charges, reply to request for further information Part 18 etc along with proof of delivery for when I sent it all last time. Some of this stuff I have sent to Cobbets three times. Took the precaution of faxing everything as well. Also sent a copy of everything to the Court with a letter mentioning that Cobbets are either very inefficient with mislaying all this information or they are trying to use delaying tactics. Its now two weeks and since then all has been silent.

 

Is it worth ringing the Court to see if there is any progress. Perhaps an idea on a Court date or should I continue to sit tight ?

 

Any advice or words of encouragement gratefully received

Just a quick one folks.

 

This present thread I am doing is for my daughter and at the minute it is all quiet after AQ, Part 18 stuff etc. and now waiting for a court date.

 

What I wanted to say was last week Abbey took £50 out of my own account for going overdrawn , direct debit default. It has never happened to me before and I suppose if I hadnt have found this site I would have just stood for it and fumed.

 

So, I sent them a letter, which they would have received this morning, asking for my money back quoting all the usual stuff but a much shorter version.

 

Lo and behold, I had a phone call from them at 10.30am to tell me they would be crediting my account with the fifty quid. The phone call was short and sweet. They never told me anything and I never asked anything. I was just happy it had been that simple.

 

Is it a worlds record for the quickest claim....lol?

 

Just thought I would share it with you all.

 

Be happy

Got a letter from the Court today saying that the judge has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires and has allocated the claim to the small claims track.

 

However, the letter states that the judge has ordered that a prelimiminary hearing should take place because:-

" Special directions are needed in this claim to prepare for the final hearing which the judge would prefer to explain to you in person."

This will take place on the 3rd May at 14:00.

 

Is everything ok does anybody think?

I have prepared a court bundle but do you think I should send this off and hope Cobbets surrender before the hearing?

What would be the best thing to take to this hearing?

I did find a link on here that helped with this and gave me an idea of what to do but typically I cant find it now.

 

All help gratefully received

Tannaku, afraid I can't help much as I'm inexperienced with the court process - I have fortunately never got that far. That said, I did want to post to say that there is a guide to filing a court claim in the FAQ forum.

 

Whether this provides any help for you I don't know but thought I would share it in case it does ;)

Thanks anyway my friend.

 

Just finding it so frustrating that the info will probably be there on the site somewhere but I cant find it.

 

I have decided to send the court bundle and hope for the best. Got everything to hand except perhaps actually setting out my case properly at the beginning. I once saw somebodys case set out when I first came on the site which could be adapted to suit but cant for the life of me find it now.

 

Thanks again

Not the best tactic if I'm honest. Pm a few of the more experienced members a link to this thread, see if anyone can help. Have you also considered entering the chatroom to see who is in there who may have an answer?
