    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • 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.

    • 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.

I am aware of this treatment. Field Debt Solutions approached me at my door claiming to have a warrant of entry, (one of many lies they used) they KNEW I was classed as vulnerable prior to the visit. This was (later found out by The Ombudsman) allegedly to install a pre payment meter (They know I can not use one).

Long story short:

I was threatened with criminal damage, the police and them not moving till I let them in.

They stated they had a warrant, they did not.

One FDS employee was waving a crowbar and smiling, the other was basically terrorising me through the window.

I complained to EON and all that they did was lie further, covered up their behaviours

After contacting the OMBUDSMAN all the truth came out. I am totally disgusted with the way this company operate. I am equally disgusted that the Ombudsman ere not taking any of the FDS Employees behaviours into account (yet all my claims were upheld) this feels like this section of the whole process is left wide open and that's why this is happening imho. The Ombudsman made me feel like they work for EON, (when it came to the consideration of the employees from FDS, they seemed immune to scrutiny) a very confusing and shocking experience when the penny drooped.

I have looked at CISA (?) whom are some sort of organisation who debt collection agencies register with (no idea what for) anyway, FDS are not registered, I can not find them anywhere, they are like some sort of enigma and this is where i am thinking how they are protecting themselves from scrutiny and people gaining remedy from them. I also witnessed a EON employee telling me that "FDS do not have to answer anyone," they would not give me any way of complaining directly to them as is the Gov's advice before A Small Claims Tract.

I am just making sure now that I record all my efforts to do what I can to give a chance for FDS to attempt to put right what they did to me. I have witnesses and I intend to take them to court. EON has damned them and all the info they provided shows how messed up and disgusting they are, I seriously have witnessed staff laughing at me on the phone when I am trying to tell them what happened. I

t seems if you do not pay a bill (in my case this was out of my hands) Then your deserving of what seems to me an inside laugh as the know how we (the vulnerable) get treated when FDS turn up, yes, very much felt this and challenged one employee once..

I have spoken to a Solicitor and they are happy  to do something for me over this. Also the police were phoned by myself even though they threatened me with police "To Help Them Take My DOOR OF ITS HINGES" The police did turn up, they told me that they rarely ever turn up for these idiots as the FDS and others attempt to use the police through bull crapping them.

They also said go through a few hoops and if your not happy come back to them, I have a mobile number as they said that a crime number would come after I have exhausted the other moves. They do not like these Debt People one bit, that was comforting.

Sorry if this is a little all over but it was all over complexed (I can see why now) but  just wanted to share my experiences and I will be happy to share further if anyone needs to know. I am still wondering what to do but one thing is for sure, I will not be going away, EVER! good luck

DCA’s just gaslight people into thinking they are bailiffs. This sort of behaviour shouldn’t just unlawful but call the police illegal.

 

I think that any DCA upon buying a debt should be legally obliged to explain verbally and in writing exactly what your consumer rights are before any attempt at collection.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes indeed, I found that out the hard way.

 

Thing is, I (at the moment) can not see how I would get remedy, FDS are very well protected and I have to go through EON who play dumb.

 

Its not very clever when I find a way to put them on notice and then blog the hell out of my route and experiences with FDS and EON. It feels my duty to Inform everyone of these >REDACTED< (I am now awaiting an appointment with my local Councillor).

Having knowledge with Web Design and Development plus SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) will come in very handy. I totally intend to put this out there.

 

The report from the Ombudsman is shocking to say the least ;) 

My Diary is and has been fully updated all the way too.

I will sleep with a smile when eventually people Google EON and see me in the top three results :)...

 

its all in the public interest, SUE ME, I will serve it from ICELAND..

deal with that EON, Your Web Dev Team will love me, they will get a fortune out of this within 18 months I reckon (I am sure some get the picture)

Now one thing keeps coming to mind and is hard to find relevant info about, EON are in the Energy Sector but DCA's are in another sector.

 

If EON are the only way to complain or communicate with FDS then EON have to be inline with the laws and guidance that DCA's have to follow.

 

Now I have had no such communication or info on this level whatsoever.

(in my personal experience) EON have blatantly lied, covered up and also protected this so called company (FDS) and I am sure there is something that EON must have to do in order to provide such Debt services.

 

Would anyone here know the Legal setup of EON,S DCA?

Their structure and also their other details as in, REAL Company trading name.

 

I am in the mind that there is legal obligation to be adhered to for sending people to others private property.

Idiots, when they know they are protected act bad, I know that this kind of setup attracts the worst amongst us all. 

Thanks for listening folks, If anyone could shed some light on this so I can go forward and get to some satisfactory conclusion for being terrorised I would very much appreciate this.

 

I am seriously considering legal action and will have support.

I also want to expose my findings in many ways of which I am currently working on.

 

I do know a few people who would feature my experiences.

I am also more than happy to post my Ombudsman report with my personal info redacted (which even there shows the lies what they -EON/FDS- have told the Ombudsman lol)

Seriously, this will carry on if nobody does something.

I just think of them old ladies who these people turn up to and treat that way.... So very sad.

Sorry about the rant and frustration but I would finally like to say thanks to all those that create these places and advise those less informed,

 

do not know who you all are but you are truly a part of the(positive) balance in an age when Governments work only for the BIg Corporations and the big corporations treat us like dirt every day!

Kind regards all and fight back all you can...
