    • 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 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. 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.

Hi LM, with your answers so vague about dates and amounts, it's harder to give specific advice.

 

But here are some basics :-

 

* You signed up for 12 months and were committed to that in the absence of a cancellation on acceptable grounds (unemployment, illness, injury, etc).

 

* So you owe in total 12 months m/ship fees as a minimum, possibly plus an extra month's fee for the notice you failed to give.

 

* You should not have allowed the DD to be used to pay any admin fees.

 

Can you confirm :-

 

1. The normal monthly gym fee.

 

2. The amount you paid in total by DD's (not anything paid after by phone, etc by debit card).

 

3. The amount you paid other than by DD's.

 

:-)

I have emailed them 3 times and asked them on the phone

For a breakdown of what i have paid them and the fee’s they have added. They have just ignored me, i assume they know there fee’s are unfair and know im obviously looking in to it.

Then go to your bank in the morning and invoke the DD guarantee and reclaim the full amount of all DD's paid to them. The bank cannot refuse to do it.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Sorry but I disagree. The DD Guarantee Scheme should really only be used to seek a refund of amounts that are known to have been taken improperly.

 

LM, Harlands/CRS aren't going to help you at all so forget emailing them about anything for now.

 

Using your bank statements or online bank data, please answer my Q's above.

My point was get all the DD's back then pay what is owed directly to the gym. Keep harlands out of the picture.

That's an option but I think any DD's taken properly, and in accordance with the initial agreement to pay the monthly gym fees, should NOT be reclaimed.

 

I would suggest LM only reclaims DD's that were used to take admin fees on top of the agreed monthly gym fee.

 

Let's see when LM provides the info requested.

yes correct that's what we have been saying

reclaim the sums back to the first payment after the last successful payment of membership to the gym directly.

  • 2 weeks later...

Is there any way for me to insert a picture into here from my phone?

 

CRS have finally sent me a breakdown of all payments i have made and what they have added via email but as it is a picture i cannot copy and paste.

 

The column on the left shows payments yet to be made.

 

The column in the middle shows your initial balance (£198.12) Direct Debit set ups (ON), Direct Debit cancellations (OX) and charges applied or removed (please not negative figures are charges removed from the balance).

 

The column on the right shows payments made to date (please note that negative figures show payments made and positive figures show payments returned by your bank).

 

My gym contract was only for 9.99 per month for 12 months, as you can see i have paid out quite a bit and they want a lot more still due to other charges etc.

Is the DD mandate still in place ?

 

If so, I'd cancel it immediately and stop using the gym.

 

I think it would be wrong to reclaim DD's when you've continued to be a member, or at least rejoined.

 

We've asked specific Q's above but your answers have been too vague. And the info from CRS isn't clear (to me at least). If you had clear answers and could identify dates and amounts wrongly taken, I would be in favour of reclaiming SOME DD's under the DDGS.

 

The only thing that IS clear is the m/ship seems to have started in 2016 and you've been a member for longer (in total) than the 6 months you suggested.

 

Cancel the DD now, tell the gym you're cancelling due to Harlands/CRS unlawful admin fees and IGNORE all further demands from Harlands/CRS.

why wouldnt you claim it back. It really is as simple as walking into your bank and telling them to refund the DD to a specific date

think we've already explained this

even if you cancel your DD without first requesting to cancel the membership, all you would ever owe is ONE MONTH after [30 days notice is what most gym contracts have]

and you offer to pay that but NO PENLTY FEES, if they refuse..typically we say stuff 'em.

Does it matter that i did not give them notice when leaving? I just canceled the direct debit.

 

We normally say to give the month's notice but, in your case, forget it.

 

You've paid Harlands/CRS plenty and now you need to ignore them and their demands.

 

Keep us informed though ............ :-)

Rang the bank today and gave them the first payment date and the last. The guy on the phone had never done anything like this before so was clueless. He said he has no idea of i will get my money back or not.

 

I am going to send a letter to CRS offering them one months payment.

 

Should i include in the letter the fact i have claimed back the dd?

 

Will keep everyone updated.

no.

should of asked to be transferred to someone that knew what they were doing

refunds under the DD guarantee scheme should be instant, no need to wait for any paperwork to be 'filed out and submitted upon your behalf'...

Don't bother writing to Harlands (not CRS) until the bank has made a refund.

 

IMHO you should only seek a refund of any amount taken by DD that exceeds the normal monthly gym fee.

I am only claiming back the money taken by ‘moneywise services’

 

Once i canceled the dd for the gym i stopped using it and could not gain access. This is when i started paying CRS. They have took 215 pounds off me so far for a 12 month contract at 9.99 per month. And they are still asking for another 250.

 

I want every penny back i have gave them. Absoloute **** bags have had my head in bits at times.
