    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.
    • Thank you so much. Yes, I wish I had done my research and not paid. It's all for the same car park. Here is one of the original PCNs, they are all the same bar different dates. PCN-22.03.24-1.pdf PCN-22.03.24-2.pdf
    • Hi Clou, Welcome to the Forum and thank you for reading first before you posted. There seems to be many problems with Cornwall and getting a signal to use your a phone which could be why these parking companies don't use alternatives. It is a shame you paid the first one as you would probably have not had to pay that one either.  Was the car park at which you paid the same parking company as the one sending you these PCNs? On the subject of PCNs could you please post them up so we can see if they comply with the Act.

    • 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,

 

This is my first post on the site but I've been lurking here on and off prior to initiating my claim against Barclays.

 

I've been through my statements - £2k of charges in the last 3 years :o

 

I want it all back!

Skinny some people dont get any respoce at all from B's I've never worked out what their reasoning is or how they decide which to reply to and which to overlook as Trucker says what address did you send them to and did you send recorded ( tho for points of law a 1st class letter is deemed to have arrived 2 days after posting)

It must be noted however tho some courts are dispensing with the AQ you may still have to pay the AQ fee

 

Just out of interest, have you been through a similar thing in St Helens CC? I live there too (outskirts) so I expect that's where mine will take place.

Hello again all,

I received a letter from Northampton stating my case is being moved to my local County Court (Wigan) and the particulars of Barclays' defence (same as usual :)

I spoke to the guy at Barclays delaing with my claim who told me to call back when we had a court date to discuss a settlement. I'm now feeling very very positive :), can't wairt to get my court date!

One point of note is that District Judge Murdoch of Northampton ordered that the AQ should be dispensed in this case. Should I be concerned?

mcol have dispensed with the AQ ... your court may still wish you to fill one in and pay the fee

 

some courts have dispensed with the AQ but still require the fee depends on your court :)

Hi Skinny

 

My claim is at Wigan County Court and they are still sending out Allocation Questionaires. Good luck with your claim.

 

Joe

 

Hey Joe (there's a song in that somewhere ;) )

 

Have you got a court date at Wigan? If so, how long was it from the transfer from NCC?

Thanks,

 

Al

Hi Skinny,

 

I never filed through MCOL , i took my N1 to Wigan CC in person so didn't have to wait for it to be transferred. I haven't got a court date upto now as there is a big backlog of cases there. I filed on the 8th May and received AQ a couple of weeks later when A&L filed a defence which i returned on the 7th June. I then received a derisory offer of £273 out of a claim for nearly £3000 , now its just a case of playing the waiting game.

 

 

Joe
