    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

Appeals must be handled in a fair and consistent manner, therefore, in order for us to cancel any Parking Charge; it is necessary for us to find that the Notice was issued in error. As per the clear and prominent signage at this location ('The Contract'), drivers agree to pay the sum of £100 if 'A valid ticket is not displayed face-up on the dashboard; enabling all of the printed information to be inspected'. 'The Contract' also details that there is an exception for those with a valid mobile session in place. Had the driver felt that the terms of the contract were unacceptable, they had the option to seek alternative parking. By remaining, the driver is deemed in law to be bound by the terms of 'The Contract'. Our photographic evidence confirms that a valid ticket was not displayed, and a search of our records confirms that no mobile session was in place for the registration XXXX at this location; therefore, your appeal is declined. We note that you have submitted evidence of payment; however, said payment is not for this location. It may be the case that you feel that the charge is unfair; however, there is no legal basis to now reject a charge that the driver has already agreed to pay. In light of the above, the sum £100.00 is payable by 21/05/2024 or £170 thereafter. Our internal appeals procedure is now exhausted, our decision is final; therefore no further correspondence other than payment will be addressed or responded to. Should you disagree with our decision, you may submit an appeal to 'The Independent Appeals Service'; full details are on the rear of this letter. 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking LTD   8.

IAS Hi there, thanks in advance for any help on this.   Had 3 'PCNs' in post from Alliance for parking 3 times over a period of two weeks, unfortunately we were away from home so letters must have come over the two weeks but we received all at once if that makes sense. I realised I had used the wrong location on the car park app. The signs are not clear what the location is called (no code.) I only had receipts for two instances so I assume the first it didn't go through as had terrible signal. Paid £60 for one of the fines. Appealed the others saying it was an honest mistake and not very good signage (unfortunately submitted on their website and have no evidence of my appeal.) received the rejection of appeal as above.   Have now received the attached letter of claim. I have done some research for the amazing snotty letters but wonder if someone could kindly help me with writing one specific to my case? Thank you so very much in advance.

    • 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 All,

 

I have a BT Sim only contract (3 years-ish). Twice I have asked for the Pac - twice they told me:

 

'..there was a problem with our system - somebody will call you tomorrow/issue it tomorrow'.

 

It never arrives. Both of these attempts were made months apart.

 

I am woefully out of date with the new rules on requesting data.

 

I have recorded all the calls to them myself - but I need to see everything they have - I want to go all the way.

 

How do I make a request for all calls, notes/data regarding my BT account. I wish to go to ofcom - and have them sort this out.

 

I am locked into the contract & feel this qualifies as mistreatment.

 

My sincere thanks to anybody willing to help guide me & explore the issue - to map a way forward.

Use our SAR template.

 

Is this problem with the porting of the number cause you any losses in terms of being prevented from moving to a cheaper supplier?

Thanks for replying - that was my intention - to go to a new deal that EE had on whihc was more than 50% cheaper.

 

Because they wouldn't give me the PAC - I lost out - and have been paying over the odds on my current contract. This has happened twice now.

 

With the SAR there will be a charge?

 

Can I achieve the same using GDPR - but for free?

Why don't you follow the SAR link and you won't need to ask those questions.

 

Can you explain why they won't give you the PAC.

I signed up for a BT Sim only deal 2015 December.

 

When my contract was coming to a close - I called BT and asked for my Pac code. At that time on mse and hotukdeals - there were some seriously discounted deals from competitors - and many people were switching.

 

I was told that there was a problem with BT's pac system - somebody would call me back - and the PAC process would be imitated.

 

A few months passed - no call - we had a number of unexpected deaths in our family - so I had other priorities in those months.

 

April - Again called up and asked what was going on - give me my pac please. They threw £25 credit at me (keeping the money for the extra months). Again there were amazing competitor deals - so yet again I asked for my pac.

 

You won't believe this - for the second time on that same call - he said our 'systems are malfunctioning - somebody will call back and start the pac process'.

 

It is now September - and I am being very serious - BT are not giving me the PAC when asked for (twice).

 

All calls were legally recorded by me too.

So how would you like to bring a small claim in the County Court for breach of contract?

 

I expect the sum would be quite modest but you would need to calculate the money you have lost over the months. Let us know how much

I am grateful for the guidance you are providing.

 

I have the SAR template - and need help on whether I should limit my request somewhat.(

 

This product/service (BT SimOnly - mobile voice/txt/data) was ordered on 7th December 2015.

 

I need all the recordings/notes etc. to do with this product/service only - not for my BT home broadband/TV services.

 

Hopefully by specifying a start date - they will find it harder to say the scope is too wide - and a fee applies?

 

I would ask for your thoughts on this - and whether limiting it from 01 Dec 2015 onward - would be a bad idea?

Narrow it down further. Don't give them any wiggle room.

 

Specify exactly what it's for, i.e. your BT Mobile SIM Only contract for telephone number XXXXXXXXX from 01-12-15 to present.

 

 

That way it doesn't allow them any scope to find a get out.

Bankfodder - I have a question to ask - but for some reason the forum wont allow me to PM you.

 

For the new SAR template - I've been through it line by line. It recommends that the reader look at post #X, and post #Y at different points.

 

However when you try and do this - there are discrepancies.

 

Can someone go through it - and check the directions to the reader - line for line - as I think somethings been missed.

 

If I am wrong - then I am wrong and need to be corrected.

 

I just want to make sure I get this letter spot on - because I know that if you start on solid footing - you have the best chance of success.

 

My sincere and genuine thanks and gratitude, to all those that are contributing to this discussion.

Update:

 

Sar sent 19.06.18.

 

Response letter received today:

 

THIS LETTER WAS NOT MARKED AS PRIVATE / CONFIDENTIAL - NOR DID IT ALLUDE TO ANY SUCH PRINCIPLE IN ANY WAY:

 

"Dear Mr. LIBERTAS,

 

Thank you for your request for a copy of the information we hold about you which we received today [21.06.18].

 

Whilst we normally aim to respond within one month of your request, we are currently receiving an exceptionally high volume of requests and we therefore need extra time to be able to respond to them. We will complete your request as soon as possible, but at the latest, within three months of your request.

 

We may be in touch in the meantime if we have any questions, or if we need to extend our response time for any reason but we will explain why.

 

If you need to contact us please write to the correspondence address below or email us at [email protected].

 

Yours sincerely

 

Data Subject Access Request Team"

 

What move should I make now?

 

I am fearful they will call me when I am out and about - and will therefore be unprepared to record any such call?

 

I want full transparency - because I offer it to them too.

I would be tempted to write back to BT and point out the following...

 

The fact that they are experiencing a exceptionally high volume of requests is not your problem. The Information Commissioners Office guidance on GDPR is quite clear on the matter.

 

You can extend the time to respond by a further two months if the request is complex or you have received a number of requests from the individual. You must let the individual know within one month of receiving their request and explain why the extension is necessary.

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/right-of-access/

my bold.

 

Therefore other peoples SAR's are of no concern to you. Your request is not complex and you have only sent in a single request, so it is not excessive.

 

I would also suggest that if they are struggling to cope with the number of SAR's they are receiving that they employ more, or move staff to deal with them.

 

Point out that the clock is still ticking and that you do not accept that they need any further time to deal with your request and that any communication should be in writing, or email if you like.

Read our customer services guide. Implement the advice there. Then have another telephone call with them about porting the number and if they claim the malfunction again, make sure that it is recorded. In the same conversation make sure that it is recorded that you tell them that this is the third or fourth time that this has happened and ask for explanations. Ask them that if they have records of your previous requests on their screen notes.

 

Get all of this done on recording. Make sure the recordings properly backed up.

 

Then come here and we will help you sue them. I suggest that you sue them for breach of contract and also for breach of their GDPR obligations. Also, make an immediate complaint to the ICO.

In fairness, they have not yet breached their GDPR obligations, but have indicated that they're probably going to.

Thank you all for your guidance & responses - I was away due to a family emergency. Following your advice - I have typed up this draft, as a response.

 

I am hoping for your help and guidance in improving/amending it please:

 

 

 

"09/07/2018

 

In response to your initial response (post 10).

 

Data Subject Access Request Team,

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Respectfully,

 

Thank you for your initial response letter dated 21/06/18, indicating that you may need to delay your fulfilment of my S.A.R for the reason that:

 

“We are currently receiving an exceptionally high volume of requests and we therefore need extra time to be able to respond to them. We will complete your request as soon as possible, but at the latest, within three months of your request.”

 

This letter was received on 27/06/18.

 

Whilst I genuinely I sympathise with your situation, I must respond that the reasons as provided – do not fit within the bounds of the ICO guidelines - permitting an extension above the original 30 days:

 

ICO website - Guide to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

 

https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/individual-rights/right-of-access/

 

Since you have not conveyed my S.A.R as “...being complex...” nor have you received a “…number of requests from the individual [Myself].” - I look forward to your accurate, comprehensive & complete S.A.R fulfilment.

 

To demonstrate my reasonableness & my sympathy with the difficulties you alluded too – I am willing grant you an additional five working days in total, to the original 30 days.

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

Mr Libertas."

They'll still try and wriggle of course, but feel free to be on the phone to the ICO the day after your new time frame expires.

Thanks for responding DragonFly1967,

 

I'm very grateful for any modifications, changes, suggestions you can give.

 

I'm actively seeking constructive criticism.

 

If I am reasonable, and act in good faith - in the long run - it demonstrates I am genuinely pursuing things in a good natured way.

 

If it does go to adjudication - they should be able to understand that I'm genuine & sincere. Or am I being naive?

BT and sincere... Let me think :lol:

 

What they might realise is that you're not going to be the pushover that they think you are, and that's about the best that you can hope for when it comes to dealing with companies like this.

 

I wouldn't change anything to be honest, just get it in the post and see what their next move is.

DragonFly1967,

 

I'm very grateful for your reply.

 

I was hoping to get the opinion of Bankfodder too - simply to hear as many ideas as possible.

 

Do you have the ability to PM BankFodder - and ask him to offer his thoughts to my latest question - I can't seem to PM him directly.

 

Hope you can help,

 

Once again, most sincerely - I'm grateful to both of you for your continued guidance.
