    • Even if that was not a PCN on your car, can you still swear that a PCN was not placed on your car ? NO Even if they showed you a copy of the PCN they sent, can you still wear that they actually sent the first PCN to you? NO Why are still quibbling  when the real argument is why they have broken the Act by telling you that you hadn't paid when in reality they shouldn't have sent that letter out probably until Monday which  would have been deemed received  on Wednesday? If you are that bothered about it, just leave out the start about the windscreen ticket since it isn't why you are complaining.
    • I am sorry that you have come across excel -possibly the most inhumane of all the rogues that ruin parking in private car parks. i am more sorry that I have missed your thread until now. As I understand it, their artic. was parked in front of their parking sign and the Blue badge places forcing you to stop somewhere else in the car park to observe the rules. On realising that even the Blue badge places were paid places and that you did not have the correct coinage you quite rightly decided to leave. Thus you had read their terms and until you have read them and signified your acceptance by either paying or staying, you are not classed as being parked.  You have a MINiMUM of five minutes  leave. Sadly Excel do not understand any words greater than two syllables which is where their problems start. Their greed, ignorance, inhumanity, etc etc all carry on from there. However they do know that Judges do understand what minimum means and are well aware of the Equality Act  so I wouldn't be too worried about what excel  will do. Plus we still have to see their PCN and when it comes to producing a Notice that complies with the Act relating to private car parks they do not excel at that. I hope that the Iceland MD will cancel the ticket. You still have a couple of other routes you could try. The first one is your Member of Parliament will probably be happy to help as they will need all the votes they can get with an election looming. Plus your local newspaper may also pitch in after hearing your story to go after Iceland and excel. [You may notice I have not merite them with a capital E as it is definitely undeserved.]

    • 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.

Go for it lisa…. knew you would have fun here lattie, not saying what I was tempted to type when I first saw it just a tad different to the combined consensus of opinion, more on the lines of if they are that silly its their look out lol.... but reading peoples views.... even if lisa did accept an offer in writing.... would anyone even a judge say she was wrong to accept a later offer of more ?.... as long as she sends back anything over the total amount of the largest offer ?

An offer is an offer... you accept the largest... they are in effect telling you what they owe you, a second offer is an admission that they owe you more so take it.

Lisa good luck

I have been thinking about this (yes I do that sometimes).

I think you should also send MB's letter too.

I was talking about this situation to phoenix today, and I think this would cover your back.

It would be nice to get the £1000, and you still have a chance, but we need to be squeaky clean about this.

so, you have accepted a better offer, but you have let them know they have made a bit of a cock up, so no possible cause for accusation.

Hi all,

I think in my haste to get this £1000, I've probably shot myself in the foot! Whilst at work today, the only paperwork from DG was the latest letter they sent me dated 21st feb. It basically says 'we look forward to hearing from regarding our offer letter of 13th feb'.

Rather than waste another day, I sent a letter saying ' I accept your offer (not mentioning the amount) and look forward to receiving a cheque from you shortly'.

Now, they might write back and say that I need to fill in the bit of their original letter that says 'i accept as full and final settlement etc' or they might not, they might just accept my letter but I doubt it!

I wish now I'd sent off MB's letter that was suggested, I guess I was too impatient! Of course if I got this cash, I would send back the rest immediately, but what's to stop them demanding the whole lot if they rumble me?

I really appreciate all of your advice, I'll let you know as soon as I've heard anything at all. Please wish me luck, I'm sooo nervous now!

Its a difficult one, as I have not heard of this happening before, so its a bit of a "suck it and see". If you send off MBs little letter there, it just might work out OK, and you cover your back.

The fact is that you accepted an offer, of course its your choice, but they ALWAYS pay out the full amount if you push them, regardless of what some papers and tv personalities might tell you.

that's why i said to keep an eagle eye on your account and the very second it hits the account take 1000 out and put it elsewhere. they very well may want it all back - but you can send a letter saying here - you've sent too much - here is the balance.

can you use another account so if they want to take it all they are taking back is their own money - minus the 1000. you'll just have to play it out and see what happens.

if they send a cheque and don't just deposit it into your acct. - can you cash it into another account. and if they start to bug you just tell them you've deposited it and you can't do anything until it clears.

keep that letter above that michael b did for you and date it today (same day as you've accepted - just don't mail it quite yet)

Hi Lattie,

I do have another account with Natwest that I could use for the cheque so no problems there. If they do pay it into my HSBC acc. I'll just take the £1,000 and send back the rest. I'll do as you say with Michael B's letter also. Cheers Lattie

Hi all,

DG have just credited my account today with the missing £933.33! It's just so bizarre that they've actually acknowledged the missing amount. Has this ever happened to anyone else who's already signed to say they'd accept a lower settlement only to get the balance a couple of months later? Thanks for all your advice

I think it just shows what a mess DG are in, once they sent you the second offer they could hardly say they didnt owe you the larger sum and have therefore now had to pay it.

 

Congratulations you have another £1000 you didnt think you would get

well done - but being the sceptic that i am - i'd move it out of that bank and into another one just in case they change their minds - i know it sounds awful - but i just do not trust them at all.

 

but i'm really, really pleased for you lisa - what a win!

 

and no, i've not seen one like it before!

Thankyou all so much for your support. Lattie I think I will move the cash - you just never know with this lot!

It will come in very handy as I start my nursing degree next Tuesday! 3 year course on my own with my 2 lovely boys! I need all I can get!

i really am sooo pleased for you lisa - so glad you wrote when you got those letters - or you might have missed out on the extra. what an odd thing to do...... first thing i did was pm crusher and michael to tell them.

very best of luck on your nursing course.

 

now you should inform the court that it has been resolved!
