    • 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.

We visited Manchester Airport to fly off on our holiday. We arrived in plenty of time, approximately 2 and a half hours early.  So after a walk around duty free we went and had a couple of beers. We deliberately sat in front of a departure board to ensure we kept up to date with our flight. The board display read "Relax" a little later it changed to "Gates to be announced at 1.20 pm.

Eventually it read "gates open. That was the last announcement on that board, the next time we looked up it was blank. Fortunately for us o e of our party took a selfie and in the background the board was visible and it can be seen that there was no information in the right side of the board. We realised the time so rushed to the departures gate but were refused boarding as we were 2mins late. I even received a text from Ryanair to say "final call" while stood at the boarding desk. People were still stood in the tunnel and on the tarmac.

So as a result of the departures board failier we missed our flight. 

When we re visited the airport the next day, at a further cost of £400 we noticed that the board had a blue banner through it stating "can't download data" so clearly still faulty.

We logged a complaint with Manchester Airport and they have said that according to IT department there were no recorded issues.  As a result are refusing a compensation claim for the incured costs.

 

Where do we stand please ?

Did you take a photo of the board when it displayed the error message?

Yes we did.

One photo is the selfie showing no data.

The second is of the Blue banner saying "Can't download Data.

Ok. Reading around this forum about the steps involved taking a small claim in the county court.

Identify all of your losses including any extra expenses you incurred travelling etc.

Don't miss out a single penny.

Monitor this thread for a further reply later on today

Missing your flight when you were there all along must be as frustrating as can be.😬

One thing that might work against you is that Boarding Passes will always state a strict time by which you must be at the gate or else. (And if you had your BPs on the Ryanair app, that should have told you the gate number when it became known). There are also audio announcements including "gate open" and "Final call" . I imagine that this will be invoked in MAN's defense.

Bankfodder will know better and can advise whether that's going to be a issue or not.

Hi Kyosanyo

Yes the time is on the boarding pass  although we were ignorant of that fact at the time.

As.we were stood at the checking desk i actually received the "gates closing " message, I showed them as they hered  the message. I think we all know what a bunch of ignorant jobsworth arrogant people (taught by head office) the staff are. They still refused to even use common sense.

For future reference, there are NO tanoy announcements anymore. This was also our argument with Ryanair,  with no avail. Apparently they now use a "Silent call system" whatever that means. But, the fault stil lies with the airp6system.

The time on the boarding pass could be an issue but I doubt it and you will have to wait and see whether they raise it and then you have to produce an argument in rebuttal.

It seems to me that if the departure boards are there then one is entitled to rely on them for up-to-date information. A boarding pass is a printed ticket which is correct at the time that it was printed and of course the scenes can be subject to change and so one would look at the departure board.

Please can you itemise your losses in bullet pointed form

Up to this moment in time Manchester Airport are solely defending themselves by stating that they have no reports from IT regarding the faul, even though we've sent them the pictures.  The pictures even have the full digital data on such as time, date geographical data etc.

As for costs incurred.

Flights £400

Fuel £25

Food and beverages  £15

These costs do not include money waisted at the bar, 2 pints each.

Okay, put together a letter of complaint – list out the expenses to which you have been put.
Tell them that you think it is reasonable that they compensate you. Include copies of the pictures again.

Don't give them a deadline but if they haven't responded within seven days – or if they knock you back (as they probably will) – then come back here having drafted a letter of claim.
I don't suppose we can identify a contract with the airport so it will have to be on the basis of negligence.
Your proposed action will be founded on the basis of a negligent misstatement which you relied upon to your detriment.
