    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Guys,

 

The largest claims are going to come from damages which were caused as a direct result of something the banks did, or did not do.

 

Where would you be had the banks not acted the way they did?

Ha...very interesting question! What would be interesting to know is has anyone been successful in claiming back damages?

I am also applying damages to all of my claims (exemplory and aggravated damages), plus i am pushing for a form of compensation for inconvenience and my own costs. I do realise fully that under CPR the no costs rules usually applies, however i beleive i can make the judge see that the defence has acted unreasonably, and thus under CPR i can apply costs also.

 

My claims havnt been heard yet (TBH not even filed yet) though i will be filing atleast 2 of them this week coming.

I must also point out my thoughts on damages are nothing to do with Tom Brennans case. i actually got the idea from a claim i saw posted by "just won" many months ago.

And because i would relish actually facing the defence in court i wanted a means of leverage to force their hand into court, i beleive (like tom) this is about the only way it can be done.

Yes...I would relish the day in court as well. Just asking for them to disclose the true costs in relation to charges would be quite entertaining.

 

I'm going for damages as well and Brennan's case makes an interesting high profile tester case...

 

PM...sorry for hijacking this thread. The time must be close for you so I take it you may have gone underground at this stage. Good luck!!!

Still here !!

Just been posting more on the Business claim thread I started in order to hopefully give and recieve advice more specific to Business claimants.

Don't mind the hijacks, but I do think the issues you've all discuseed would benefit from their own thread?

Just for the record:

No I am not a Mole (unless you consider being practically blind to the banks actions for many years, as a similarity to a mole)!!

Secondly, filed my N1 last week... won't be specific about the total claim for prudencde sake, but lets just say this is one claim I don't think they'll ignore !!

Tanz,

Don't worry, no offence taken.

Actually, if it had been a serious question, it would have been fair enough. I think with all the heightened publicity and pressure on the banks that I would really not put anything past them tactics wise.

There are, in my opinion, without a doubt some bank moles on this site, and sadly this does mean we have to show a degree of reserve with regards what we post.

I do want to post and help many others if I can (just as I have learnt so much from others), however we do need to be a little cautious regards personally specific tactics and personally identifiable info too.

To make an ad hoc comparison; During wartime if you discovered a great new weapon you wouldn't mind the enemy knowing you had a great new weapon, but you would not want them to know all about how it works, and how it can be rendered useless.

Just by way of an update.

Yesterday, I recieved confirmation and case reference that my claim is deemed duly served upon Lloyds.

They have until May 4th to respond.

Looking forward to seeing what they have to say for themselves.

I think with the pre 6 year claims that will soon be coming about, this won't be the case for long mate. lol.

This is just one of my accounts.

Other in the post this week, which will probably double the figures.

Even so, I do agree with you regards the SOL actions now being submitted........ I recived a PM from someone (I shall afford them anonymity), who think's their claim could reach £500 K !!!!:eek:
