    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

Thanks for the info Terminator

 

Am still puzzled as to what type of business they are, reason I ask is that they claim to be a tracing agency, yet in the letter they sent me, they are threatening "Statutory Demand" blah, blah, etc

 

No point in me sending them a CCA letter if they are not a DCA?

They are probably trying to find out if there is any point in pursuing you

for a debt. It may be too late now, but it might be an idea to call your bank

and ask if anyone has contacted them about you in the past few weeks.

Either by phone or in writing-asking for a bank reference for instance.

If your bank uses call centres abroad, then the agency probably knows

how much is in your bank account, plus your salary etc.

Just read the papers about it. You have a situation where some banks have

transferred their callcentres abroad because they pay their operators over

there a lot less than they used to pay here.

It would be difficult for a worker there, on being offered a weeks wages to divulge personal information about someone possibly on the other side of the world and who they knew nothing about, nor cared, to refuse that kind of

temptation.

The surprising thing is that to date, the moving of call centres abroad does

not seem to have provoked a protest under the Data Protection Act.

P.O.E.T -just in case you don't read newspapers, here is an article from the

Information Commissioners Office, following a television program looking at

information being obtained from call centres that was broadcast in October

of this year-

 

Date: 6 October 2006

Information Commissioner takes action over call centre abuse

David Smith, Deputy Commissioner, said:

"Following evidence of illegal buying and selling of personal information

shown on Channel 4's Dispatches programme on 5 October 2006, the

Information Commissioner's Office has immediately launched an

investigation.

It appears that some mobile phone companies' call centres in India are

being targeted by criminals intent on unlawfully obtaining UK citizens'

financial records and this will be the focus of our investigation.

We are concerned by any breaches of security particularly if they involve

confidential banking details. UK organisations are responsible for the

security of their customer information. If they use an outsourced call

centre whether in the UK or India, the Data Protection Act requires them to

ensure that adequate security is in place in the call centre. We provide

clear guidance to organisations that outsource overseas to help them

ensure people’s personal information is secure and is processed in line

with data protection principles.

This issue - where people sell on personal information for a price - is not

confined to India. As our report, What Price Privacy?, shows it happens in

the UK and it is a criminal offence. Where we find evidence of breaches of

the Data Protection Act we do have powers to take formal action and we

do bring prosecutions.

Depending on the outcome of our investigation we will consider whether

we need to use our formal enforcement powers to prevent incidents like

this happening again in the future. Ultimately this could include ordering a

company to stop processing personal information outside the UK."

You might be right but I find it very hard to believe private dicks like this would go to all the trouble, expense and legal risk to get information on a debtor. It certainly couldn't be used in court to refute a plea of poverty. I heard they often go in for fake doorstep survey type activity to gauge the punter's position.

I would have thought poorly paid call centre workers would be targeted by gangs wishing to empty your accounts and create false identities rather than Croydon based dicks..... but stranger things have happened.

 

That's what I read too and it's not just the foreign call centres - police reckon most of the Glasgow financial call centres have been infiltrated by crooks. Anyway must'nt hijack the thread.

In the past, companies I have worked for [not in debt collection admittedly]

have employed investigators to supply financial information. We would get

back things like how much was outstanding on a mortgage, the value of

the house, bank account details including the average cleared balance.

And if you read the OFT website you will find investigators here losing their

licences for data protection infringements-work it out for yourselves.

Bishop Investigations is (I believe) a trading name of another collection agency - I'm not 100% sure without checking, but the Croydon address rings a bell, and I have a feeling it's Commercial Credit Services. They trade under various names - a common tactic. I'm not sure I'd take the word 'Investigations' too seriously... it'll be the usual scare tactics.
