    • 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.

Invoiced by A S Parking at Hayle beach.

 

It is coming up to 21 days ( argh missed the 14 day early window).

 

Terrible weather and annoyingly had checked and flipped the ticket once but then someone must have shut a different door and it flipped again.

 

Company clearly state they don't care about any mitigating circumstances.

Very steep charge £100 (£60 if id paid early).

Is there anything i can do?

 

They haven't written to the reg keeper yet (which is also me) would i get another discounted period then?

 

The only ticketing error/issue i can see is that the printing of the car park name is virtually non existent on the original ticket that i paid for.

 

looking for light at the end of the tunnel, thanks

I wouldn't worry about reductions in price.

You paid the ticket so they have lost nothing so you owe nothing.

 

That is the way everybody including the Court see it-everybody except the crooks that run dodgy car park systems.

 

Once you have filled out the questions above -post 2-and we see the parking notices you receive we will give you the best advice to avoid paying them a penny.

 

So just sit tight, ignore all the rubbish and threats they send and do not respond to them until you have all your ducks in a row then hit them one time with both barrels

 

if they have any sense they will slope off and leave you alone.

They are in a no win- situation they just don't know yet but keep them stewing for now..

OK, that means that a Notice to Keeper (NtK) must arrive on your doormat, not before 16th July (they shouldn't even be asking the DVLA for the keeper details until this date) and not after 12th August.

 

Do absolutely nothing with this until that NtK arrives and we can see what's said on it. AS Porking are IPC members, so I expect they'll get at least 1 thing completely wrong :lol:

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

The NTK has arrived within the correct times

Do not contact AS parking but please post

Up their NTK and see what mistakes they have

Made on that.

 

In addition could you check with the local Council

To see if they have obtained planning permission

To have their signs erected in the car park.

(It comes under the Town and Country Act

Advertisements).

 

Also we would like to see all the notices in the car

Park as well as the rules on the ticket machines

If there is one.

Most of their notices contradict each other

Which is good for you.

Now, they fail to say who the creditor is so not following the protocols of POFA to create ANY liability whatsoever.

However, being thick and taking rubbish advice from Will and John at the IPC wont stop them hiring the same Will and John at Gladstones to chase you but there is no hurry to respond to this letter.

 

Seeing the signage at the car park will help us, is it near to you?

Also pictures of all different signs and the ticket machine as well as the entrance to the car park from the publuic highway.

 

No sign visible on entry then how are you supposed to now you are being offered a contract to be there.

Only signs around the place are a bit like a contract saying do not read this notice or pay us £100.

PO box number and not a proper service address for legal submissions.

admin fee? not if you are trying to claim a keeper liability and anyways that would be charging a fee for not breaching the contract. We would all like to run abusiness where you can bill people who dont owe you anything but strangely enough it isnt lawful

The creditor is identified. A S Parking always offer a small admin fee for face down tickets when presented with a valid ticket.

 

I smell the blood of an AS Parking/Athens Security employee :spy:

 

 

Let's have a look at your only other post in the over 4 years that you've been a member.

 

Re: A S Parking (Athens Security Services Ltd) Perranporth Parking Charge Notice

What makes you think they use the legal model PEOL?

Perhaps you'd be able to furnish us with one single (properly defended) case, so no default judgements or cases where the wrong arguments were used, and a transcript would be nice, where the courts (and I don't mean the Muppets at the IPC "kangaroo court") have found in favour of AS Parking/Athens on that point. :|

I should also like you to quantify the statement "always offer a small admin fee......". As I cannot recall a single instance from this forum where do you get that from. If you wish to rely on a personal anecdote then that is ONE example and that is statistically insignificant.

 

On the other hand if your boss has told you to enter comment on these pages then I will accept your bosses word that they are likely to cancel unlawfully issued charges for a small unlawful fee. In NI and Scotland they could go to prison for that and that is why the POFA wasnt enacted there.

Feel free to ask on the closed Fb pages, plenty on their will share their losses no doubt.

 

So, that'll be a no then. Thought as much :thumb:

 

 

I've a good mind to drive down to Cornwall and park (badly) in as many of your car parks as I can find. I'll even forego any rights to an appeal. I'd like to see you (and those two other clowns at Gladrags) try to beat me in Court :lol:

OK wide-minded, let's be open an honest here for a moment, if that isn't too much to ask.

 

You work for AS Parking, Athens Security or a company associated with them. Maybe you're even Kevin or Louise. Am I correct?

When I contributed to the rather parochial fb pages on private parking I dont recall any such accepted offers being shouted from the rooftops. Are there 2 closed groups with large numbers of members? I do recall a member offering such a service but that means they had the authority of AS to do so so agency if not employment.

BTW, that forun is OK if you want a nice POPLA appeal but no good for advice on court matters.

Sorry to not respond for a while on my own thread.

 

I can't get back to the car park to take photos of the signs etc as it is quite a distance.

 

A little confused about what i need to do now, do i need to reply or just leave it. Were there any errors that make it unenforceable?

 

To be honest i would have been happy to pay a small fee/fine as the ticket was the wrong way up,

I just feel that as i had genuinely bought a ticket that the fine was extortionate.

All the things i have read say that there is definitely no option of that.

 

Thank you all for your responses.
