    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. And, I also continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

Hi Folks, i have been reading this site with interest as approximately 14 months ago i stupidly signed up to 1 of these holiday points scheme things with sunterra whilst on holiday in Lanzarotte, I paid a £3000 deposit and then took out a finance deal with GE capital through Sunterra. Anyway to cut a long story short, i found out that basicly Sunterra had lied to me and the places that they offer are not just solely MEMBERS only as anybody could of booked on the internet, and at half the price basicly it was costing me, therefore after a lot of tooing and throwing with SUNTERRA i asked them to cancel my membership as they had lied to me. They refused but after a lot of perseverance they said they would suspend my membership but i would still have to pay my money to GE, well how stupid dp they think i am. They clearly know im right as they would not of agreed to suspend my membership else. Anyway i point blank refused to give any further money to GE and explained the circumstances, however they dug heels in and said TOUGH, you will pay. NO I WONT. Since then they have sold the debit to ASSET LINK who have obtained judgement against me and i now risk losing my house as i wasn't in the country when the court papers came through. I am in court on the 2nd of jan 07 to try and set aside judgement as i dont wish to lose my house and i dont want these LYING BULLIES to win, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP me and tell me what i can do if anything about these lying deceiteful companies. Has anyone ever sued the likes of SUNTERRA successfully. Many thanks and regards Mike!!

Oh no, what a terrible situation your in. To be honest I'm not much of a lawyer, which is why I'm a Travel Agent lol, but joking aside, how awful for you!

 

Maybe asking a stupid question here, but did they give you a list of Terms and Conditions in writing, did you sign them??/ Is there any mention in there thats its "members only" or anything like that?

 

Have you used the services at all since you paid for them? I maybe way off here but I think there maybe a clause in some kind of legislation that means you may not be liable to incur further costs when their services are no longer required?? Someone will tell me if I'm wrong I'm sure.

 

How soon after signing up did you ask them to cancel? Did they offer a "cooling off period", most, if not all reputable companies have to offer a minimum of 2 weeks.

 

I'm sorry this may not be much help, timeshare is not something I am too familiar with (something I stay well clear of for this reason!)

 

Hope everything works out for you, and I am sure someone will offer more experience and useful advice.

 

Good luck

 

Heidi

I am not a legal expert, any advice I give is based purley on experience or opinion.

Hi Heidi, thanks for your reply, i was given a list of terms and conditions but to be honest i ditched them in anger a long time ago however i have since written to SUNTERROR and asked for a copy. The cooling off period has well past and it was about 3 months after signing that i found out all the lies. On the members only side in the terms and conditions i honestly cant remember which is another reason why i want a copy of them, however they clearly told us on about 6 occasions that this was the case or i would not have signed up in the first place.

No i have not used the services what so ever as i was so disgusted that they had deceived me in to signing a contract that clearly was a load of old tosh. Im only hoping that i can get all the correct info before 2nd Jan and i have a sympathetic judge, as i know i have been a bit silly but hey you live and learn i guess.

It's hard to advise on timeshare queries without seeing the paperwork, to be honest. But you seem to be looking at, at least, an argument for misrepresentation. What evidence do you have of the misrepresentation - was it all just verbal promises?

 

I am assuming this is a standard Timeshare agreement and not a holiday club, without researching I'm not familiar with the company. If it's Timeshare it is covered by statute, but holiday clubs get around this unfortunately (totally wrong that it should be that way, but don't get me started!).

 

Did they take a deposit from you at the time you signed up? What cooling off rights did they give you?

Please note I'm not insured in this capacity, so if you need to, do get official legal advice.
