    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

You would think that Amazon's own records would confirm items never reached the collection point.

As Amazon would have a complete record from warehouse to delivery/collection at the hub point, it would take some evidence for me to believe that the items were never received. 

Hopefully the SAR details from Amazon will provide the missing information.

I would suggest contacting the Police as you are being accused of commiting criminal offences

 

We could do with some help from you.

Yes.  You are being accused of criminal actions to obtain goods for free from Amazon.

The Police probably won't investigate, but at least you can provide a police reference number.

Frankly I think it would be better to leave it to the other side to file a police report if they want.

Yes the letter is dealing with this as a civil matter  similar to shop lifting revenue protection. And Amazon are unlikely report to the Police.

However, if I were being accused of obtaining refunds for items I had received, I would be extremely annoyed. I would want to demonstrate that I had acted properly and only obtained refunds for items not received. And therefore I would report to Police. Someone has acted dishonestly

Why do Amazon believe the items were collected?

Does the OP know people from the Amazon shop hub or Amazon courier? Has the OP been taken advantage by other people? I.e., told what items to order and how to obtain refunds. And the OP has provided the order and collection information to other people, not knowing what they would do with the information?

Sometimes when you see situations like this, there appears to be far more to the story than what we are being told.  There are social media pages on all sorts of scams to make money. And one of these could well be involving online purchase and refunds, with people obtaining a commission for each order.

We could do with some help from you.

Just an update, it seems like these solicitors are trying to obtain information for the SAR by calling a generic Amazon number. It doesn't seem like they have a direct contact to obtain the information.

I just received this email from Amazon (I have not requested any information)

"Hello,

We've received your request for your personal information. I'm sorry to hear the difficulty you've experienced with this request.

To request the data you have previously specified, you can log into your account to verify your identity and submit a new request here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/privacy-central/data-requests/preview.html

Alternatively, I can contact you via phone to assist with your request. For security reasons and to protect your privacy, I will need to ask you some questions to verify your identity in order to respond to your request for account data. If you'd prefer this option, please respond to this email providing a suitable phone number and preferable time.

We hope to see you again soon.

Privacy Specialist"

Dear Privacy Specialist
thank you for your letter of XXX date – reference XXX

It's not me that's having difficulty with the disclosure. I made my request very simply. It is a valid request and in case you don't understand, the only formality you are entitled to apply is verification of my identity.


However, I am the same person at the same address which you have been writing to you in order to demand money.
The only people who are having difficulty processing the request by yourself. I suggest that a little consistency in approach would be helpful.

Once again, in case you don't know, you have a statutory deadline of 30 days from the day I made the request and this includes the time you are spending verifying my identity although you can claim an extension of time if the request is particularly complicated or there is some other difficulty – but operating your own systems, I doubt whether that counts.
We may have to ask the Information Commissioner's Office.

I'm completely happy to help you verify my identity and my telephone number is XXX and you can generally call me between the hours of XXX.

I shall be looking out for your telephone call – although how shall I verify your identity?

Yours sincerely

Signed

Sorry when I say Amazon, I don't mean an email from their solicitors, it's come from Amazon themselves who think I'm requesting information from them. This is what I have gauged -

1) Amazon have sent over generic information to solicitors about me and the others involved

2) I'm assuming the only information the solicitors have is everything they had written down in the letter. No access to anything else.

3) I requested SAR as advised 

4) Solicitors try to get more information from Amazon, they call a generic phone line and the employee they spoke to do not know who they are - it would be no different from me phoning Amazon and asking for personal information for someone else.

5) Amazon think that it's me requesting this information, and have sent generic templated replies to my email address denying it, as they couldn't verify it was me requesting (which it wasn't)

 

I've got two emails from them, I'll upload here

Sorry but I'm getting hopelessly lost with all of this misunderstanding and miscommunication.

I'm starting to have no idea where we are.

You sent them an SAR. They said that they will want ID verification – give them your phone number

No, Amazon emailed me that, not the solicitors (CMS).

I'm not sure what I haven't communicated properly, if you see my numbered bulletin post and let me know what you need clarity on?

I assumed that if I requested a SAR, it would have to come from the solicitors? This has been sent from Amazon?

To me it looked like CMS tried to contact Amazon for more of my personal information.

One email reads -

"I understand that you’re currently unable to access your account and I am unable to authenticate you via phone."

I haven't phoned up anyone for information, this must be the solicitors phoning Amazon and asking for information on my account 

No, the data comes from the people who the held the data on you – which is Amazon.

Ok I'm with you now, I thought the SAR was to obtain all information the solicitor had.

I'll send back the response you wrote out - thanks for your continued patience and assistance

Before you send* anything to amazon:

Are you saying that you actually submitted your SAR request to the solicitors (not to Amazon) and that you are presuming that the solicitors have passed it onto Amazon?  Hence the email to you from amazon asking for proof of identity?

 

*I think BankFodder's draft in #58 was based on the premise that you had made your SAR direct to Amazon itself and not to the solicitors.  I'm not certain the tone is 100% appropriate if you didn't address the original SAR direct to Amazon.  (Like BankFodder I'm getting more confused about what has actually happened and what you are doing...)

Hello,

 

I replied back to the cease and desist, from CMS solicitors. I hadn't received any letters from Amazon, so there wasn't anything to reply to. 

 

And that's correct, the only SAR I sent to was solicitors. I assumed that they tried to contact Amazon, as one of the email specifically said about a phone call - I hadn't phoned anyone up

 

Bankfodder had directly addressed the solicitors in his SAR letter, I think it was intended for them

well thats because he thought you'd sent the SAR to amazon and the scammers, CMS, had replied to that.

id either simply ignore everything now

or forget the screw up and send a new SAR to amazon.

Just make sure you do not have any further dealings with Amazon. As I think, if the same refund problem happened again, you will end up in a much more serious position.

And I suspect that also goes for the other people whose Amazon accounts the OP has implicated...

[Edit:  And because other people are involved in this I think it might be unwise for the OP just to ignore it and not try to get to the bottom of it.  I think they owe it to the others to try to bottom this out...]
