    • I would only rely on your solicitor in this regard. The other two should not have a view.   And, you are responsible for how the court perceive you. They only have your words and deeds to go on. Expecting them to magically see things your way is not a great tactic.
    • Yes, I don't think there is any downside to doing this. If they decline then you can say that in your witness statement
    • Ok! Do you still want me to work on that letter you discussed above in post #26?
    • Thank you for posting up the required details and well done for apparently not revealing the identity of the driver. I am assuming you are the keeper? The depth of ignorance of the parking companies is absolutely amazing. The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 is the law relating to private parking and allows those rogues to be able to transfer the charge from the driver [whose name they do not know] to the keeper after 28 days . This is dependent on them complying with the Act. So many of the don't and Alliance is no different. It would help if we could see what you appeal was and to post the back of the PCN as it is lacking so much of the wording necessary to make it compliant so that in your case only the driver is liable to pay the charge. And of course just entering the ANPR arrival times means that they have failed to specify the parking time which is a requirement..  Because the car park was so busy you had to drive around for quite a while before finally finding a place to park which is when the parking period may  actually begin. The poor dears at Alliance have not grasped that particular part of the legislation as yet. To be fair the Act has only been in place for 12 years so one must make allowances for their stupidity . We shouldn't really mock them- but it is fun. You weren't to know but the chances of winning an appeal against Alliance and the IPC is around 5%-and that is high for them. If they allow you to cancel they lose the chance of making money and they would have had a field day when you were there with so many people being caught overstaying because of the chaos in trying to find a parking space then trying to pay.  Your snotty letter could go something like this- Dear Cretins, Yes I mean you Alliance. After 12 years one would have thought that even you could produce a compliant PCN. Did you really think I would pay you a penny extra considering the time I wasted trying  to pay with  long queues at the parking machine, then trying to get a signal to call Just Park. On top of that you then had the cheek to ask for an additional £70 for what dubious unspecified pleasure? You must have made a killing that day charging all those motorists for overstaying because the queues to pay were do long and even walking to pay from the over flow parking fields takes time. And yes I did take photos of the non existent signs in the fields so please don't give me the usual rubbish about your signs being clearly visible. Oh yes that £70. Please tell me and the Court whether that charge included VAT and if it did, why am I being charged to pay your vat? I am sure the Judge would look carefully at that as well as the Inland Revenue. The truth is you had no reasonable cause to ask the DVLA for my data given the chaos at your car park and I believe that you therefore breached my GDPR...................... I expect others will give their views as well.

    • 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.

Finally received my statements, today, (originally requested on 7th April).

 

I specifically asked for info regarding Manual Intervention. As this was not mentioned in the covering letter, should I assume that there was none, or should I chase them for an answer on paper ?

 

The worm has turned !

The more I read the FAQ the more confused I get.

My confusion is regarding interest.

I have my statements and have calculated charges. The initial letter asking for the repayment of these charges plus interest.

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX

This interest, as opposed to the 8%, do we add up ALL debit interest entries or perform some sort of calculation on the figures ?

As soon as I have this sorted out, I can send my letter requesting repayment.

Sounds as though it might be better to forget that and just go for the charges.

Better that, than be shown to have my figures wrong, in court.

I downloaded the spreadsheet (The one that calculates the debit interest.

 

Out of curiosity, I entered the debit interest figures into the spreadsheet.

 

The first dozen entries calculated the interest on the charges as a fraction of the total interest.

 

After that, the spreadsheet just took the whole amount as being due to the charges.

 

Is that right, or have I muxxed it up ?

 

Advice please...... I'm about to tell the bank how much I want them to refund and I'm unsure about the debit interest figures.

Letter before action goes in tomorrow.

 

Letter as follows.........

 

Barclays Bank PLC.,

Leicester,

LE87 2BB.

 

5th June 2006.

 

LETTER BEFORE ACTION.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: ########.

 

 

I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letter of the 21st May 2006.

I now understand that the regime of 'fees' which you have been applying to my account in relation to direct debit refusals, exceeding overdraft limits and so forth are unlawful at Common Law, Statute and recent Consumer regulations.

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that I opened my account. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

 

I am frankly shocked that you have operated my account in this way as I had always reposed confidence in your integrity and expertise as my fiduciary.

 

I calculate that you have taken £3390.00 plus £195.17 which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £3585.17.

I am enlosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the 21st May 2006.

 

I require repayment in full of this money. If you do not comply fully within 14 days then I shall begin a claim against you for the full amount plus interest plus my costs and without further notice.

 

Furthermore, I shall submit a Consumer Credit Act 1974 complaint to the OFT upon the basis that you have failed to comply with the OFT's direction of 5 April 2006 and are therefore not a 'fit and proper person' to hold a consumer credit licence under the 1974 Act. If you do not understand what this means then seek advice from your legal department.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

The Rooster.

 

 

 

What do you reckon ? Can I add anything else ? Or is this satisfactory ?

I have just been searching the FAQs for the answer to this but without success.

 

I am enlosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming.

 

I have included the details of the amount that I'm claiming within the text of the letter.

 

Should this also be on a seperate sheet and what should the format be.

 

Is the schedule of charges a printout of the spreadsheet ???

 

 

Letter before action due to go in, tomorrow...... Can anyone advise me ?

I am only at an early stage myself but I think the schedule of charges means a list or spreadsheet of the individual charges you are claiming. I sent them a spreadsheet with Charge details ie. PAID REFERRAL, Date and the amount ie £25

with a grand total at the bottom. Over six years this was about 138 entries.

 

Hope this helps

Letter received from Rose Frimet......

 

May I say how sorry I am..........we disagree with your view.......Terms & conditions.......Banking code......etc.,etc.,etc.

Despite my comments above........without any admissions.....I am willing to offer the sum of £1000 towards the total amount....gesture of goodwill....etc.

 

Now that £1000 would be extremely useful at this precise moment and would solve some pressing problems......But !......

 

I have always advised everyone to go for the lot, so for me to take the "gesture" would be selling everyone short.

 

So it's thanks, but no thanks. I want the lot !

:D

To show my reasonable nature, I sent my own settlement proposal to Rose Frimet, on Monday morning. I offered to forego the interest for immediate settlement.

This was a calculated risk to show the courts that I had made every possible effort to get a settlement out of court.

 

Guess what!..........I got the answer I expected:D

 

Sod Off !

 

So now its, "Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's off to court we go."

 

I offered them a potential saving (including 8% and costs) of £1250 for immediate settlement.

They refused...... Actually turned my offer down. If it had been me I would have had his hand off.

But then, what do I know about good financial practice?

:D :D :D
