    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

I sent mine to my branch who replied saying they'd forwarded it onto the area office. It was the area office who I got all my 'bog off' letters from and to whom I have just issued court proceedings :)

Please note that I am not a legal expert and all advice given is without prejudice and is purely my opinion only.

I sent both my prelim letter and letter before action to head office,charles bacon when it came to my moneyclaim I have given defendant as being my local branch but sent fax to head office stating that I have now commenced action. all letters that you send to your local branch will be forwarded to head office anyway so I dont think it really matters. jools

Hi there, I to have been running through this site and I come across your first thread. We have been in exacactly the same position. My partner 'tried' so very hard to be a sole trader but the bank made it impossible from day 1.

 

No overdraft facility at all and no leway, it was there way or no way. We began to think if they could have the shirt off his back then they would take it.

 

I could wallpaper 2 rooms with the amount of paperwork for charges they have sent us over the years but they don't care who goes down and who they make money out of it is usually the small person they chase and make life miserable as i was once told you are only 'a little fish in a big pond'.

 

They have left us high and dry on many an occasions with no money due to the charges superseding any monies left in the account.

 

Fortunately he has been employed for the last year but I shall never forgive them for the misery they put us through during those bleak years.

Hi battyboo

 

Are you claiming your charges back or was it more than 6 yrs ago,its feels so good to be able to do something about it and not just stand back and watch them take hard earned money. bit nerve racking now but knowing you are all in the background helping us along makes a big difference. AND I WILL WIN.

thanks for the incouragement, jools

Hi Sunnyjools, thanks for your response much appreciated. No the self-employement started approximately 6 yrs ago (obviously will get exact dates) which to me seems a good place to start.

 

Can you tell me if you have to go through 6yrs worth of bank statements or does the first letter do it all for you in requesting suchlike?

 

All the posts I have read are very heartwarming and so pleased that people are achieving what we all thought to be the impossible.

 

Thanks for now.

hey jools, anything? ive heard nothing, you done your online claim yet? i having a few probs with accessing spreadsheet so i have read around here and i think the 8% interest i'm owed something like £62.92 or is it (yippee if it is) £629.29? i had the first charge 5 yrs ago and i am claiming £1567.37 does this sound right to you? Diane:confused:

 

Hi, I have just started a claim and sent the standard letter to them. They have sent me (eventually all the information i require) do i claim 8% interest for the charges for each year, or can i claim (8% x 6 years) if you know what i mean. where do you get the standard spreadsheet for claiming?

 

Regards,

 

Jon
