    • 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.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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 have had and sent back my AQ I am now waiting for a listing date - which I was advised I should have within the next 10 days - what happens after that - is that when I begin the preparation of my Court Bundle?

 

Yes. Wait to see what the date is: if it's a while in the future, take it easy. there may be updates to the standard bundle as we go along. Use the time to familiarise yourself with it and to identify the parts you actually want to use.

 

The reality is, of course, that it's extremely unlikely to get that far but it's as wel to be prepared.

 

And it helps these long winter evenings to pass more quickly.:-D

I was going to send the Court Bundle back straight away? Is that not right if my case if not until June surely that means Natwest will string it out until the very end to settle. By that time I shall be bankrupt!!!

I'm in a similar situation with a court hearing of 5th April.

 

Hope settlement comes before that though. May need help on the bundle but will leave it til nearer the deadline before I run around getting everything together. :rolleyes:

I guess the courts must be getting clogged up with these things. It is just so frustrating I have come this far and there are still obstacles in my way. Kinda hoping that once Cobbetts received the Court date it might push them into making me another settlement offer or by some way of a miracle just settle it then and there.

I'm hoping that too! It seems quite a lot of us have hit this temporary stop, maybe thats why Nastywest are paying up so quickly now? I think this is the worst bit in the whole process so far, at least with everything else previously you had a deadline to aim for, now its just a case (no pun intended!) of wait and see what happens. Good luck x

I WON!!!!!!

Went home the other day and there was my cheque for full amount with the usual letter or how they believe they would win but the legal costs will outweigh the outcome and so for striclty commercial reasons they will settle my claim.

What a relief. Now just waiting for the cheque to clear. Donation will follow shortly.

I would just like to thank everyone for their help and encouragement and would urge anyone to stick with it as you will get a result in the end!!!!

COngratulations, Lig, you lucky, lucky so-and-so.

 

I'm still waiting for a communication from Cobbetts. A reply to my CPR Part 18 request would be nice. A cheque would be nicer. A full settlement, without conditions and a grovelling apology would be nicer still.

 

(If anyone from Cobbetts is reading this, I will negotiate on the grovelling apology bit)

 

Yours increasingly frustratedly

I don't believe Natwest no sooner am I celebrating my win, yet they are still putting charges on my account. Call me petty but should I call them and tell them I am perfectly willing to go through all this again unless they remove them. £76 may not be a lot considering that I just won but it is the principal now.

Lig24,

Be fair Lig they have got to get their money back from somewhere. :rolleyes: Only joking.

You won this battle but not the war unfortunately. Nat west computers will still be programed to take their charges i am afraid. Why don't you write to them questioning

the new charges, because if they don't refund. You may have to go through the whole process again. Don't forget you have a legal right to challenge those charges

I think I will call them later and say I have just resolved a dispute with you about these kind of charges and don't wish to have to start the whole process again. Please reconsider these charges before I take any further action and see what sort of response I get. REally need to close this account now as I have totally had enough of them.

Lig24,

I definately think you need to close the account if you have an alternative account to use. If after you have called them and you don't get any satisfaction. Then what's the harm in sending Mr. Higgers a nice LBA . It can't do any harm, and at the moment NWseem to be offering settlements quite soon after receiving LBA. It is a small amount compared to most . Go for it and push your luck . ;)

A phone call may sort this one out. And it's not just the principle:rolleyes:, it's £76.

 

Yeh, maybe you will have to use an alternative account but you may not wish to stick with NatWest anyway.

 

I don't.

stupid little twerp on the phone wouldn't listen. I think I am gonna send an LBA to the Head Office and ask for the charges back since I started by claim as they total nearly £400 as well - that place will not get another penny out of me if it kills me!!!! Cheque is now cashed and I still haven't sent the discontinuance back so am still within my rights to ask for the rest of my cash back. Grrr hate banks so much!!!

Calm down or it might kill you, and you DON'T want Nat West to get away with your lolly. So back to plan (b), LBA to Mr. STUART HIGLEY, Ground floor, National Westminster house, 225, Shenley Road. Borehamwood, WD6 1TE.

Understand how you feel, Lig - they're really irritating, aren't they?

 

HOWEVER - the nearly £400-odd they've charged you since the proceedings began isn't part of this claim. You should send your discontinuance letter off, as the claim has been settled. The £400 is a new issue, I'm afraid, so you're not 'within your rights to ask for the rest' of your money back - it's not part of the same thing. Sorry.

 

Following the course of action you propose would put you in the wrong and could prejudice any further claims you want to make in the future.

 

Looking on the bright side, your success may encourage them to settle sooner. Go straight to a slightly-modifed LBA - I would.

Congrats Westy - only just noticed your claim is settled.

 

I understand what you are saying and I think a modified LBA would be adviseable. THink they might close my account this time round so in the process os opening a new one far, far away from Nasty Natwest.
