    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

we bought a car just before xmas

within days it developed faults,

 

 

we exercised our right to reject in writing to the garage at beginning of year and you guessed it they are ignoring us.

 

 

we have gotten trading standards involved as they think there may be mis-represented laws they have broken such as saying it has warranty and it doesn;t and that there is service history which has never been received and failing to disclose where it came from when asked.

 

 

this will not get us our money back

so we are going down the route of S75 with credit card company

only 2000 was put on card and remainder paid in cash a total of 17500 in all.

 

 

What I wanted to know if anyone else has been successful in getting their money back through S75 and if so what happens to the car if we do prove successful and get our money back.

 

 

At the moment the big hunk of junk us blocking my driveway as we had to sorn it get tax back this is now in the second month and doing my head in.

 

 

any help. advice or experiences welcomed.

 

If the credit card company pay up then effectively the car is now theirs,

is that right, will they come and collect it.

 

thanks

How did you pay the remainder of the £17500?

Cash???

Not that it matters, a s.75 should be applicable, but expect a big fight from cc company.

They'll be giving you £17500 when in fact they only lend you £2000, but those are the rules, so for once they'll lose.

the company is brechin car company in scotland and remainder was paid in cash and yes I expect a fight

 

 

but I have loads of evidence of the fault before the garage even took possession of the car and sold it on as well as misrepresentation on their behalf.

 

what I wanted to know was how successful other people were and what happens to the car if money is paid out by cc company

This must be a relatively new start in Brechin as the traditional car dealers there were decent kind of lads. Can you tell me the owners name please?

A £17500 car and no warranty????

If dealer ignoring you why not try and dump car on their premises & put keys through the letter box or hand to the office?

Yes that the address and it is relatively new although they have traded in lochee dundee under a different name.

 

 

Can;t take car back would mean driving it and it is unfit to drive because of gearbox issues and engine issues

not about to drive it and get stuck halfway there.

 

 

besides it is their faulty vehicle as we have rejected it so it is up to them to come and collect

 

 

there is no insurance on it anymore and we have sorn it to get our tax back

so once again not driving it and risking getting fined and points on licence.

you had better take it back and leave it on their forecourt.

 

Cost you about £90 for a tow truck but you claim that cost back as well.

 

If you dont there is the argument that you havent actually rejected it and could well be using it.

 

Even if you paid £1 on the card and the item is between £100-£30000 you are covered.

 

The card issuer will want to get this sorted or they lose a fortune

a section 75 has been started

If you contact DVLA & send V5 back to them stating you are no longer the owner,

the garage can leave it on the road without any comeback on you.

 

What make & mileage of car?

What are the faults.

 

Have just looked at their website and it appears they specialise in Executive cars.

 

 

At a guess, and looking at the fairly high mileages,

I reckon many of these vehicles are ex company or ex lease cars.

 

They certainly know how to charge.

 

As previously advised, take car back to garage on trailer or recovery truck.

 

Write a review on this outfit on the web to warn other punters.

Hi madasamuppet

 

Ok I asked those details for a reason and you mention Lochee in Dundee so here we go

 

First look at there website (Brechin Car Company) again and go to the bottom of the website where you will find and FCA number 718699.

 

When you check there FCA Ref Number: 718699 on the FCA Register:

https://register.fca.org.uk/ShPo_FirmDetailsPage?id=001b000001SHGOfAAP

(In the above click on Trading/brand names and have a look and check the other details)

 

An Endole check of Lochee Cars Limited: https://www.endole.co.uk/company/SC497335/lochee-cars-limited

 

On further checks of Lochee Cars Limited need to add this as it may be of concern as they have had there First Gazette notice 10th Jan 2017.

 

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/company/SC497335

 

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/company/SC497335/filing-history/MzE2NTc4NDE3OWFkaXF6a2N4

 

Now what you may need to do is write and object to them being struck off due to you ongoing dispute from your recent purchase: https://www.gov.uk/object-to-a-limited-company-being-struck-off

 

I am sure others will be along to advise

Update - my credit card company came back and said that they weren;t liable as the name on my credit card is different to the name of the garage, But after alot of searching on the internet and the info obtained here I provided them with evidence of a direct link between the companies and they are now saying I may have a claim under section 75. What they are asking for is an independent report from a garage detailing the faults and the cost of repair. Even after I have sent them evidence from the company who put it to auction that the car had faults. What I want to know is whether this is normal practice and can I claim the cost of this back from the bank as well. we are already out a lot of money why should be further out of pocket with no gaurantee of seeing any of our money back. thanks in advance for help

If the claim's approved, you should be reimbursed for the cost of the report also.

Once plonked on their forecourt they will be committing an offence by moving it on to the public highway.

 

 

A phone photo of it on their property will stop them from even thinking about that.

 

 

Glad card co moving but they are placing the onus on you to do things that wouldnt need to be done if you had just returned the car.

 

 

Are the card co going to reimburse this or will you still have to sue garage for the extra expense (probably) nayway, it is a small amount compared to the whole.

 

the v5 is in my husbands name

there is no insurance or tax on the vehicle and

I wouldnt put it past the garage to leave sitting on the road where my husband is liable for all tickets etc that are issued so that not gonna happen.

still not sorted out but had an interesting conversation with bank who wanted us to email garage and tell them car is still available to collect, they asked us to confirm where we got the cash to pay the balance of the car. they said its still not sorted out they will try to get a chargeback for the amount paid on the card but said this does not affect any decision made concerning us but the wifey I spoke to mentioned something about us maybe selling the car via webuyanycar or similar and them paying the difference. surely we shouldn't have to do this and if this is the decision they come to do we have to accept these terms

Surely a chargeback for the amount paid on the card is different to a S75 claim?.

 

If the CC company are liable under s75, they are liable (equally with the garage, on a joint / several basis) for the whole sum, within the limits of s75, not just for the portion paid on the credit card.

 

You only want a chargeback (which gets you the sum you paid on the card but no more) if the CC company aren't liable under S75, or the whole sum was paid on CCard!, otherwise you are letting the CC company off the hook (and they may turn out to be a better target for a claim than the garage, if that company may be being dissolved........)

  • 3 weeks later...

Just and update SUCCESS we have received a letter from bank saying they will pay the cash amount in full and final payment along with towing and garage report fees. they have removed the £2000 from my credit card statement and are requesting a chargeback from mastercard. they have said that we need to keep a hold of the car for 45 days and if mastercard do not come and collect then we can do with it what we want. Has anyone else experienced this and which part of the law states this, is it 45 days from when and will they notify us when the timescale is up. Well chuffed we are getting our money back and so glad that in the end I persevered and paid the initial amount on my card. thank you to everyone who helped and offered advice.
