    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?
    • Well, it's up to you. Years & years & years ago the forum used to suggest appealing to POPLA, but then AFAIK POPLA's remit was changed and it became much more biased in favour of the PPCs. One of the problems with taking that route is that the onus will fall on you to prove your appeal, while if you do nothing the onus is on MET to start legal action which experience teaches they are very, very reluctant to do. If you go down the POPLA route I would think your ace would be insufficient signage.  Are you able to go back there and get photos of their rubbish, entrapping signs?
    • The first clearly visible sign as you pull in to the car park states “McDonald’s Customers Only 60 minutes” The next clearly visible sign is an almost identical sign outside Starbucks which states “60 minutes free stay for customers only” There are other signs towards the rear of the car park (away from the outlets) that have the terms and conditions on them in very small print.

    • 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'm surprised by Lidl's attitude, in the past the CEO strategy has worked every time.

 

Can you please post up the PCN, redacted this time?  Then we can see what they're saying you did wrong, if the terminal is relevant and if they've followed the legal timeframe properly.

Lookinforinfo is spot on.  Don't pay PE.  The grace period of 10 minutes could easily become 13 with the knackered terminal not to mention COVID social distancing which delays getting into and out of a supermarket.  Then PE won't have planning permission for their signs and the planning permission Lidl have won't be for 90 minutes.

Your letter to Lidl is superb and I'm very surprised they didn't call off PE.

 

HB beat me to it - don't appeal.

The best thing you can do is to read some PE threads here so you get the idea of what will happen.

 

They will certainly "chase this up".  They will send various reminder letters threatening county court judgements and you being hung, drawn & quartered.  They may get a third party to send you a letter to pretend it's all escalated a level (in reality third parties can do nothing as it's not their debt).  All this is hot air from paper tigers and can all be ignored.

 

If they eventually send you a Letter before Claim/Letter Before Action then that is the time to reply and give them both barrels.

I have received a second parking charge notice (same as the first). I will keep you updated.

What do you mean exactly?  Have PE sent you a reminder about the 13-minute "overstay" ticket?

Yes, it's the same parking event.  This seems to be a new tactic by PE, send out their demands and then a reminder 10-ish days later, we've had a few such cases recently.

Just a thought.  On a few of these "supermarket parking" threads there has been a tendency to fob off a first complaint, then if the motorist insists a second time they get a result.  It might be a case of 2+2=5 but sometimes it's almost as if there's a policy of only doing something after being pushed twice.  It might be worth a quick second mail to Lidl -

 

"Thank you for your reply of XXXXX which I find most disappointing and a shameful refusal to accept your responsibilities.

 

Parking Eye are about to sue me and I will add Lidl as a Third Party to the claim.  You can explain in front of a judge how your incompetence delays customers' return to their cars and then allows the same customers to be charged £100 and then sued by the vermin you have let loose outside your stores".
