    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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

Received a letter from halifax customer relations saying they regret that they cannot comply with my request because the account was closed in november 2006 and has a debit balance outstanding of £5000:eek: :eek: :eek:

 

I called up this David Carr in customer relations and told him that he has no choice but to pay and i do not owe £5000 that is just something they constructed while altering my statements. He refused to do anything or confirm why my statements were like that and so i said well i will continue through the courts then.

 

Can anyone help please???? As far as i am aware they acknowledge my claim on 27th Feb so what shall i do now? Should i carry on???:Cry:

Hi Naomi,

 

To be honest I am not sure of what you should do, my own thoughts are that they still should give you your charges back regardless of the (so-called) state of your account. If there is anyone out there that can help please do.. As I would have gone to court for this but I am not sure if it is the right thing to do either?

 

I will be keeping an eye on your thread Naomi.. Sorry I could not be more help :-(

Do you have any more information on why you have a £5k debit balance? If they wont respond you need to put as much info on your next post as possible for people to be able to respond accurately - eg what was the balance on your statement when the account was closed, was there a reason for the closure, did they give you any more info on the £5k, how much are you claiming etc.

A chq was put into my account after we sold a car which was then returned after i had spent some of the money. So they said i owed the money back. They took all the money that i had in my account at the time and any money that went in after, and told me i was like £2000 overdrawn. I was finding out if there was anything i could do about this situation as i did not think it was fair.

 

Anyway before the account was officially closed in 2005 tey continued to add charges even though i was not using the account and investigating the chq issue so i was advised to ask them to close it which they did. By tis time i think the charges were up to £3000. The amount i was trying to claim is £1971.07 inc court interest.

 

I am in money problems at the moment which is why i would prefer if they gave me a chq and then investigate why the account is like that. If they can give me proper reason i will gladly arrange to pay of the money but for now i dont see why they shouldnt have to pay the money they stole from me.:mad:

 

The address on all my "duplicate statements" is also incorrect and nobody seems to be able to tell me why. There are also differences in some of the transactions.

 

Any thoughts?

Hmmm, this is a toughi isn't it.

 

I can't understand why, if you officially closed your account in 2005 they have still been applying charges throughout 2006?

 

I agree that the charges made are unlawful and as such you should be able to claim them back. However, as they seem to think you owe them more than the claim i think they may have the right to deduct this amount from the total they say you owe them- but i'm not sure.

 

I just don't know unfortunately, perhaps someone higher up on the forum food chain will pitch in and help???

 

I'll keep having a look at other posts for any info that might help you.

 

keep posting so you get noticed.

Basically i dont think they have any idea anymore themselves. The account closed (according to them) when i started this claim:p :p How what a coincidence. I have no idea why they have done that, i think they were unsure about the status of the account when i asked for the statements in the very beginning so they seemed to have constructed whatever they feel like.

 

But the basic issue still stands that they owe the money, so if i am not incorrect i should continue through the courts? The halifax has not submitted their defence yet as far as i am aware, so if they forget to and i win by default do you think i will get a chq that way?

This is a difficult one Naomi, there is a very good chance I think that you wont see any of the money you are claiming if the status of the account is as you say, they may just offset any money you claim against they balance owed. Also out of interest, what are you actually claiming?? Are you claiming they unauthorised OD interest as well as the Unauthorised OD charges??

I give advice not as an expert on law, only as a guy who succesfully claimed back £3385 from The Halifax. Followed by another £2611.

 

Lloyds TSB settled in full before hearing

 

Cap One offered full settlement and default removed.

Could you not claim back the charges accured in your account after 2005? if they were charging you surely you can claim it back? Or have you already included that amount?

Hi

I included the amount as they are the ones who have tried to rob me and i want it back. I received another letter from them saying: on a purely commercial basis, it will cost halifax money to defend my claim in terms of the legal costs(even if the bank wins) because my claim will probably be allocated to the small claims track, in which costs are not generally awarded. For this reason, but without admission of liability, halifax is willing to reimburse £904.00 in respect of bank charges incurred together with £122.12 respect of approx interest that halifax has calculated. Total of £1026.13 which they will credit to this so called debt.

As yet no one has told me why my statements where altered when i called the lady that wrote this letter she still didnt have anything to say. I am so mad that they think they can get away with this. My question though is since they have still not bothered to submit a defence at court or send this stupid letter to the courts, can i still go for judgment and demand a chq and say that anything else is a diffenrent matter and should be dealt with on a different case as there are obvious problems with my statements?? So should i still do judgment and ask for a chq for the full amount? Will i get it or should i just forget about it now? Please help!!!
