    • Hi. Is this a new parking event or have you posted about it before please? HB
    • Hi folks, The keeper received correspondence today from DCBL.  The keeper has received previous correspondence from (Possibly) Parking Eye and Debt Recovery Plus, all of which has been ignored with zero contact with either company. The keeper has moved house twice since the original PCN but has kept DVLA informed of every move and V5 updated accordingly. The driver recalls entering the car park but didn't see any signs indicating payment required. The drivers friend happened to be in the same car park a few days after original PCN was received. Friend is a truck driver and said there is a sign but at truck windscreen height. Driver was in a small vehicle and, due to being careful as to where they were driving, did not see the sign. Original paperwork has been lost while moving but keeper still has scans of paperwork from Debt Recovery Plus. Driver was on site for approximately one hour after a long drive and was resting. After having read previous cases on here, is it still safe to ignore? 1 Date of the infringement 15th September 2020   2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] Unsure    3 Date received A/A 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] A/A 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Driver recalls there was a screenshot of the reg plate, but it wasn’t a very good one.  6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No.   Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up A/A  7 Who is the parking company? Parking Eye?   8.

    • Hi all, hope you can help. I've received a £4k repair estimate from the main dealer after my 2016 F30 330e developed the dreaded drivetrain error. The qoute is for a replacement cell module and associated labour and various bits and bobs to get it done. I initially had them investigate the issue when it first popped up a year ago. They replaced the auxillary battery which 'fixed' the issue for a few months before returning. Last Novemner the issue escalated to 'Battery not charging' which would clear after powering off the car , and disappear. Took it into the dealer and they diagnoised a faulty high voltage battery under the boot but could not do any work as they needed to schedule more cars for this 'specialist high voltage work'. So they said I could continue to drive the car until they got in touch when the car could be booked in for repairs. Roll on to April, the issue became severe (battery not charging error not going away, car in limp mode one morning) and car completly died at a traffic light same day (dashboard flashing all over the place), couldnt engage in 'Drive' and had to be recovered by AA to the dealer. Turns out car was now only running on the 12v battery in the boot and that had run flat as the hybrid function had stopped working altogether. My question is whether this is a reasonable estimate. Could this be done cheaper elsewhere? The dealer has servived this car from new hence took it them in the hope they'd not point fingers at any other party. Should I be paying for this at all since I raised the issue with them before it escalted and resulted in a now expensive fault? I also suspect the KLE may have gone too based on other posts, but the dealer hasnt qouted for that yet. I worry they'll' 'discover' that after I've already shelled out for a new cell module and end up lumbered with another bill to replace the KLE. Feels like I know about what they need to do than they do. The Service Advisor has been completely useless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    • 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 supervillain,

 

well I have the statement of costs from the court hearing and the figure was £30,182.20, the settlement figure sent 4 years and 1 month later is £36,538.50!

 

what I also don't quite understand is the last letter I had from them in Nov 2017 said the balance was account balance is £65,802.15 and arrears were £23,337.83, in their settlement letter they say the account balance is £64,892.15 and accrued interest is £38,258.58 - they don't give an arrears amount, is this supposed to be included in the accrued interest figure??

 

none of it makes sense

well, if you dotn start you wont get anywhere. i would kick it off and try and use that as leverage as well as stating firmly they are in the wrong and so you are going down this route unless they desist their vindictive behaviour.

Hi Ericsbrother,

 

Yes I really need to but am just struggling with how to begin, any idea? Can anyone help with a letter or something. also is there any rule or regulation I can quote- have been checking around but cannot find anything

 

If I sell Can I instruct my solicitor to pay the loan balance not the costs as they are disputed?

Hi All,

 

I made a complaint to these people in May saying that their redemption figure is wrong and that there was no order allowing them to add the costs - they have so far sent an acknowledgment of my complaint and a further letter saying " sorry its taking so long - we're looking into it blah blah blah" in the meantime there have been some developments with another couple of customers cases with Elderbridge - formerly First Plus and I have decided to fight these people.

 

First I need to do a new SAR as my court case was 4 years ago now and I would like to see what other information is held on my account, I will know from this hopefully whether I can win. As you know from this thread it's been very complicated and long!

 

So my question is first do I send the SAR to Elderbridge? or Barclays? the company "First Plus" no longer exists but the loan is still "owned by Barclays but all the admin is done by Elderbridge (another fact they are trying to hide!)

 

Also in my "complaint" I not only aid I was not willing to pay the court costs, I gave them a figure that I believed to be correct but looking back, I think that the figure I gave was wrong - so I want to withdraw that "offer". Can you advise if I can do that?

Hi All, ok still waiting for my SAR.

but in the meantime I have just accepted an offer on my house.

now it's going to get complicated.

 

I looked back at the further letter I got from elderbridge in july saying that they were still looking into my complaint BUT that I can complain to the FOS now and have to do that within 6 months of the date of that letter, I'm a bit confused by that, I thought you only go to the FOS if they have made a decision and you still don't agree or are they telling me I can got to the FOS because its taken them too long?

 

The other question is - The sale of the house will cover the figure they gave me in the redemption letter but as I said I disagree with that figure, can they stop the sale if there is a dispute over the amount or can I instruct the solicitor to HOLD the money until the dispute is resolved?

 

Any help is very much appreciated .

 

thanks

Thanks DX, I will forward a complaint to the FOS then.

Can anyone advise on the other points raised, Can my solicitor hold the money until the dispute is settled, as the sale is enough to cover the entire amount they claim is outstanding , would they be able to stop the sale?

I went to court approx 5 years ago, secured loan went for repossession, the claim total was for £109k.

At the time I was a litigant in person , there was an initial hearing and it was decided that due to the complexities of the case there should be a trial, it allocated to fast track and at the trial I managed to stop the repossession but got a SPO.

It has come to my attention that this should never have been in the fast track was the total was nowhere near the £25k , it should have been on the multi track.

can anyone advise on this?
