    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Yes. I sent off 3 SARs.

One of them is back with a lot of documentation (not the EE) and I have identified the items that have been charged to me and which I have paid.

 

how do I get my money back?

 

Do I just ask for it?

Or do I have to take them to court?

Can anyone tell me the specific law that prohibits the charging of fixed penalty charges?

It would be very useful to be able to quote this law instead of telling banks, telecoms/utility providers and associated companies that they were "in breach of consumer laws".

 

Most of the firms charging these penalties, and presumably banks in particular, have had this woolly complaint over the years and just brush it off and ignore it.

 

Tt would be good if I could confront them with something specific which they cannot sweep aside because it is a generalised moan.

 

A specific law, with specific clauses and sub-sections (!) would be much more impressive and might even get them to think!

 

So does anyone know?

 

I may be being a bit thick here, but the 4th post at https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387306-Full-Subject-Access-Request is about the action to take to report the firm to the ICO if they break the data protection laws, unless I'm misreading it.

 

What I'd like to know is what I do next, once I have the proof

- in the form of documentation provided by the erring firm as a result of the SAR

- that they have charged me unlawful fixed penalty charges.

 

Do I write to the firm?

Do I take them to court immediately?

If it is best to write to the erring firm (not to the ICO)

is there a standard template letter which it is recommended to use?

 

I'm at the stage where I've received the documentation as a result of sending out SARs, but I don't know what to do next.

 

I have identified all the illegal fixed penalty charges which have been made against me and which I have paid because I did not know any better.

I've added all these up in each case.

But what do I do with this knowledge?

 

Do I write to the firm showing them proof of their illegal charges and quoting the law which has made these illegal (and if so, what law is that?)

or do I just take them to court?

 

And if I take them to court what law should I say I am using to take them to court?

Is there a standard procedure for doing this?

 

I can't wait to continue to the next stage.

But I don't know what the next stage is.

 

Can someone please advise on what is the next step to take.

 

Thanks.

well 1st you need to read up.

as you don't seem to be and are wanting a guide.

there is not one..

you don't appear from what I can detect unless doing whilst not logged in to have read any relevant threads?

the more you read the stronger we become

 

they are not ILLEGAL [that's criminal law]

they are unlawful [civil law] under FCA/OFT guidelines and rules.

 

your best bet is to use the search CAG box of the top red toolbar

 

reclaiming bank charges

 

or whatever fees from whomever.
