    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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 Everyone

 

Thank you for the advice received on this site, I have found it very helpful.

 

Just asking for advice really.

 

We started our claim against the Woolwich 12th September 2006 when I sent letter requesting a list of charges. They sent this back on 28th September.

 

19/09/06

Next I had a letter from Barclays with regards to the Data Protection act saying 'the DPA does not oblige the Bank to comment about internal policies and procedures'

 

16th October

Standard letter saying they are looking into it.

 

30th October

Standard letter saying 'they are sorry to hear that I feel the bank charges are unfair, but with the offer of £1000 without any admission of liability.

 

Offer accepted but noted that we will still continue with our claim.

 

6th November

Letter to say 'sorry we remain unhappy' but the £1000 was in gesture of goodwill.

 

7th November

I sent LBA and schedule of charges giving 14 days till court action.

 

NO REPLY so on 23rd November I filled out Moneyclaim online, with my particlars of claim

 

They acknwledged the claim on the last day possible! 12th December giving them another 2 weeks.

 

27th December

I checked online but no defence had been entered so I requested Judgement.

 

28th December

Checked again but the Judgement had been rejected saying that they are going to defend the whole amount and it will be transferred to a county court.

 

What will happen now?

Any advice is appreciated

Thanks

Angela

They will prob send you an allocation questionaire and ask you to complete it, there is a guide here on the site. You will win, you seem pretty calm. Dont worry about it, they are just trying to mess you about.

I have never heard or seen anything going to court with this bank charges thing. Do not worry about it. Just remember that the banks don't want to go into a court room and disclose how their charges work.

No you are very unlikely to have to go to Court.

Barclays are known to take things to the wire....its unfortunate that they evaded judgement but this happens.

Stay calm and await the aq and their defence which will prob be their standard 4 pages denying everything they may even threaten to counterclaim if they lose.

make sure you get everything right as Barclays certainly look for holes.

My own claim with them started back in June and my hearing isnt until March !!!

I am moving your posts along with a thread title change into the Barclays bank group.

There are no shortage of Barclays claimants......have a look at some threads it will give you an idea as to what to expect.:)

hi I agree with Martin. Barclays/Woolwich seem to enjoy stringing things out to the last minute one claiment was being chased up the steps of the court house with a settlement offer.

 

The most people have gone to court for is removal of CCJ and defaults (myself included) but not for a straight forward bank charges claim.

 

Also Looking back at my file I had 100's of letters crossing over from both barlcays and Woolwich it appears it their way of trying to confuse the issues as they dont usually even correspond to each other!!!

 

I think its a case of right hand left hand!!!!

 

Take care and keep us up to date.

Hi All

 

I sent my AQ to the court, was due by 16th Jan 07 and waited for Barclays to send in theirs.

 

I have received a letter from the County Court today to confirm that a Judge had looked over the paperwork and allocated the Small Claims Track, they ordered Barclays to send me a list of charges that had been applied to my account? (not sure for what reason?).

 

Also asked for each party to deliver to each other and to the court, copies of all documents on which we inted to rely on at the hearing. No hearing date has been set you (with a note on the order that we will be notifed).

 

Can anyone advise if these are just copies of the letters sent between myself and Barclays or should I put together the Court Bundle at this stage?

 

Thanks

Angela

Oh my god, I have won!!!

 

I received a letter today from Barclays with full settlement, obviously stating that they do not admit any admission of liability!!!!!

 

Also the usual confidentiality clause (which i crossed out before I sent back the signed copy)!!!

 

Just waiting for the money to go into account before I send letter to court advising that we want to discontinue our claim against them.

 

Thanks to everyone on this site, it feels like I have done nothing but read things on this site for months!!! (But worth every minute)

 

Donation to follow as soon as monies in account.

 

I am so happy did not have to go to court as was feeling nervous about that but as everyone on this site says "it will never go to court" you do still wonder if your case will be the 'Test Case' and end up in front of a judge!!!

 

Am in process on starting moneyclaim with Abbey now - BRING IT ON!!!xxx

Congrats Angie ;)

 

I've recieved a court case management date so am hoping that I'll get a similar letter soon.

 

I'm like you, awaiting this settlement before using some of the money to start against the other institutions taking my money hand over fist!

 

Good luck with the Abbey, enjoy the victory! :lol:

24 hours in a day... 24 in a case... co-incidence???
