    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7.

    • 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.

Well, im new here and i am SOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to getting one back on shAbbey. I have had MANY problems with them over the years, from their mortgage, insurance services to banking.

 

The best they have done on me is cancel the WRONG direct debit which ended up with me being declared bankrupt! it cost them £3500 to have it annulled and when my solicitor then approached them for compensation and an OOC settlement, they declined saying i should take them to court. This was obviously going to be their action knowing that i wouldnt be able to lay my hands on the 2k needed to begin proceedings.

 

Anywho, my DPA letter is sat here ready to go to Antony Turbitt at Bradford, along with a cheque for £10 made payable to Abbey National PLC.

 

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to this, its been a LONG time coming.

I have a quick question to add to this as well. Just looking at some of my 2001 statements, i note that at that time, Abbey were charging £3 for all counter transactions on my account type. Anyone know or tried to claim these back as well?

Hi Spooky,. What were these counter transactions? is it a business account?

 

 

Hiya,

 

It was when they charged people who had a plain current account £3 to go into the branch and use the counter. I think it was to try make people use the cash machines instead of taking up staffs time.

Well I have to say that I have never heard of this before, but having thought about it I would say that if you were using your own bank and they charged you for going into the branch for withdrawing your money, then I think that this could be classed as a penalty.

 

Any mods out there care to add anything ?

Received a letter today from Abbey, not sure what to do with it as it seems abit of a stalling tactics letter to me. It reads...

 

Dear Mr Fearnley,

 

Thank you for your letter dated 4th November 2006 which we received on 6th December 2006, requesting information on your bank account. I also acknowledge receipt of your £10 fee.

 

I confirm that arrangements have been made for the information you have requested to be sent to you. The transactional information remaining on our systems, normally covering the last fourteen months, will be sent out in the form of individual duplicate statements. You should receive these within five to seven working days of the date of this letter.

 

Any previous transactions have been archived onto micorfiche and it is not possible to provide you with a computer pring out of this information. However, we have made arrangments to send you a list of archived transactions between 2000 and 2005, under seperate cover.

 

You have also asked for details of any 'manial interventions' that my ahve been made on your account and i am sorry that we are unable to help with this request.

 

I can explain that we consider 'manual intervention' to mean an action that is not automatic or conupter-driven. Not all manual interventions are recorded, for example if a member od staff looks at a paper document relating to your account, a record is not always required. Similarly some interventions may relate to work carried out by a departmenr rather than indiviudals where no central record of activity is ketp because this is not the kind of information we need, or more importantly, that a customer would usually request.

 

If you have any questions please call us on the above number.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Pam Speed

Business Manager

Banking Services.

 

 

So hmmmmmm. Took over a month for them to get my letter, how strange given that i posted it in Bradford about 300 yards from their office !! I think there may have been some sarcasim there from them and i put November instead of December LOL

 

Im sure i read something on this microfiche kak on here before as well.

 

anyone any advice on what to do next?

 

Cheers

Hi, I recieved the exact same letter from abbey on 6th december. Followed by 14 months worth of statements a day or 2 later.

Finally today (27th) i got a complete list of transactions for the remainder of the last 6 years.

 

Not exactly a quick turnaround... I dont know a lot about this but i would allow 40 days from the date they say they received your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request).

 

 

I sent my letter to the london office (triton square) and it was signed by the same person as yours... maybe the delay was due to which office you sent it to ?

did they mention the microfiche to you in your letter? if so, how did your older statements arrive? looks like the signature is a VERY bad photocopy on the paper LOL. I had no doubts it was a standard letter. I knew someone that worked at the bradford office of Abbey when all this started and they hired a team of people just to bosh out standard letters all day !

Yeah, it was the very same letter.

 

The microfiche statements were just a list of transactions printed on plain paper. All in one bundle, not seperated into months or anything, just one long list.

Use the spreadsheets listed in the Banks Templates Library to calculate the interest.

Hi SpOOky

The letter is just one of their standard blah, blah, blah letters they send out in the hope that you`ll just sit around waiting for them to investigate your complaint.

You`ll need to wait till Hell Freeze`s Over to get a positive response from them.

The only language they understand is Court Action, and untill you venture into the probable unknown world of the court system, they won`t start listening to you.

If you`ve already sent your initial letter and calculations asking for your money back, you need to leave it 14 days from the day they would have received your letter before sending them your LBA, and you then give them a further 14 days to ignore you, before filing in court (or online at MCOL), once you`ve done this the fun really begins:D

 

Stick with it, you`ll get your money back in the end.

Hi Armsoft,

 

thanks for that. I intend on taking them all the way. Aint no way im giving up on this one. Whats the LBA letter? I already have my N1 Claim Form filled in and ready to print out and file... oh yes.... im not walking away from this LOL.

 

I sent the request letter for my money back on the 12th January recorded delivery. Thats why they have sent this recent letter through. So they would have had until the 27th to reply. Do i still have to wait until that date, given they have replied with the fob off letter?

The LBA is a `Letter Before Action`

You should give them 2 x 14 day periods in which to give you your money back (or agree to give you it back)

 

The 1st 14 days is covered by your first letter asking them nicely to refund your charges (found in the Templates Library)

 

The 2nd 14 days is covered by the LBA, this letter tells the bank that you want your money back and if they are not prepared to give it back then you will start court action (found in the Templates Library)

 

It is important to give them the two periods, as if it ever got to court you need to be able to show that you have been fair, and gave them sufficiant time to reflect on your request and make a sound decision is; you havn`t tried to rush them into a decision.

It may sound a bit `softly softly`, but it`s what the court would expect to see.

 

As they have written back as a result of your 1st request, you can now send the LBA, then wait 14 days from when they receive it before filing in court or online at MCOL.

Good Luck:)
