    • 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 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. And, I also 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.

Hey guys, an update following on from my pre-lim hearing yesterday, basically Barclays sent a pathetic man along as counsel and he was eaten alive by the judge and me! Great experiance, the judge was totally on my side and a full trial has been set for October - the judge mentioned a test trial so we shall see, his words where 'If you turn up!'.

 

Barclays insistsed on having more time to go over the schedual of charges, then in the next sentance told the judge they had never recived such a document! So I have to send it to them again! So will now finish off my court bundle which I actually took yesterday and surprised the counsel guy.... hopefully I can put an end to this pretty soon!!

Excellent.

Good work, looks like you're going to kick ass, AND they know it..

 

Bet you get a settlement letter within a week or so.

 

you could email them at the Lit Team saying "as your representative failed so miserably, to save you from further embarrassment, I am prepared to settle out of court."

Thanks dar£n! It really did feel good coming out of the court knowing that a. the judge was on my side and has seen loads of these cases never go to trial wasting everybodies time and b. the counsel representative had nothing to say, he even took me to one side outside the court room which was frowned upon by the staff there...

 

In my letter to Barclays lit team when sending my schedule of charges I have mentioned the trial which they are I'm sure more than aware of and whether they would like to think about a settlement.

 

To top it off they queried my charges and the interest applied - it's in black and white on my statements they sent me! Every charge every applied, how ignorant are these people!? vbmenu_register("postmenu_1015537", true);

Talk about dragging their heals......well done for your prep work space. Barclays just seem to want to drag this out as long as possible....(B)ankers!!

Looks like that'll be me next week too.

Space - you are an inspiration! I've just this minute got off the phone from the Lit team who said they're sending a rep to my allocation hearing next week rather than choosing to settle out of court now - so I've copied your email saying you'd still rather settle out of court and have decided to get my bundle together to take to court with me same as you did as surprise ammunition. Was feeling rather scared but your account of the Barclays rep and the judge's beahviour has made me feel far more confident so thanks for that! Wishing you all the best in your continued fight.

If only you had requested the judge to strike out the defence there and then... a contradiction in terms

Hey guys thanks for the support! Firefly100 good luck to you - just be as prepared for anything, the budle is not needed and the judge hardly directs anything at you more at the counsel rep but the very fact you are sitting there with a full prepared bundle with as much (amunition) evidence as you can club together then anything they contridict can be blown out of the water.

 

I have put togther a letter when I am sending the Lit team today which is my full schedule of charges plus proof I have already send these numerous times in the past and a message regarding settlement - my court case will be early October which I know is way off, however I am holiday at the beginning so if Barclays want to settle I wont be around...putting them in an awkward situation, so settle now of face the judge!!! :)

 

I know Trucker, I had so much to think about and going on at the time I didn't ven think about it! Wish I had though :( still the sooner I can end this the better I really can no be bthered with waiting until October that will be 10 onths since I started this journey... although it will be loads more interest.... ;)

So I went to court today - account in my thread - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/86937-firefly100-barclays.html

 

they basically need more time to deal with my case due to a large back log so I've another allocation hearing set for 30th August... but interestingly, although Barclays said they had received my schedule of charges there were numerous cases this morning where Barclays said they hadn't received adequate particulars of claim e.g. schedule of charges, bank account numbers etc - the claimants in all the cases I witnessed all said that these had been supplied numerous times - same as you space so maybe this is a tactic of Barclays to buy more time...

Hey guys another update..

 

I now have my final court date hearing set for 11 September 2007 however it has an important notice...

 

"In order to provide your case with the earliest possible hearing date, it has been listed in second place to another case f similar length, since enperiance shows that many cases settle and the judges time is often wasted.

 

If the case before yours has not settled the day before the scheduled hearing, you will be notified by 3pm and your case will be re-listed on another day as a fixed appointment."

 

So we shall see what happens, I am in the process of calling Barclays to settle this now as ther is no way I am allowing them all this time to sit back and wait!

  • 1 month later...

Hi guys here is an update on my court hearing which is scheduled for Sep 11 - Barclays have advised me they will be asking for a 'stay' I called the court and the judge has not honoured this as yet - he will be making the decision in court... I have requested judgement but I believe in this kind of case you can not. I am looking for some advise... I need to stand my ground in court and defend any 'stay' to ensure it's not granted I don't want to go down the route of human rights etc, but obviouly I want a fair trial considering this has been going on since Dec 06! Please let me know your thoughts!! Thanks!!

TSS,

 

You have to be prepared for a Stay so take 3 copies of this to Court with you - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/17065-application-removal-stay-updated.html#post1046820

 

I take it you've sent in your Court Bundle and Barclays will NOT have done so your best shot is to ask for B's defence to be Struck Out for non-compliance (assuming Bundles were ordered by Court) and an Abuse of the Court Process.

 

Let's hope you get the same judge as before.

 

And read these short threads for info and inspiration.
