    • Whatever the nuances of the law, they will be lost on OPS, who like the rest of the PPcs never bother to get planning permission, ever. When they get a new contract they don't want to delay issuing PCNs by deigning to follow the law, especially as the period when they take over and the parking restrictions are new is the time when they can catch most drivers out.
    • I had some contact with this company earlier in my working life but I'm afraid there's not a lot I can suggest that you haven't already done. During your grandfather's time  British Celanese was a subsidiary of Courtaulds. Courtaulds was subsequently (after your grandfather had stopped working there) acquired by Alzo Nobel. They in turn closed down the Spondon site and sold it. I have no idea what the number is that you are trying to call. It's a Derby (Spondon) area code but the number appears not to be allocated. From my slim knowledge of the history of the company I would have expected your grandfather's pension to be in the Alzo Nobel (CPS) Pension Scheme.  But Willis Tower Watson are the Pension Scheme Administrator of that scheme and would be the people who should know if your grandfather had contributed. Is your grandfather certain he contributed? Joining pension schemes wasn't compulsory in those days. Or might he have got his contributions returned when he left them? That happened sometimes back then. Sorry not to be of more help.      
    • I am sorry I am not aware of this report from IAS assessors? The Court will consider my application at a online hearing in June. The Court instructed me to send Bank copies of my sons condition proving he could not have been the driver I have heard nothing further. My son is not aware of any proceedings I have not involved him to avoid causing him distress, he has been sectioned a fair few times and I need to avoid this happening.
    • I am very pleased that the Court has taken the decision to allow you to  represent your son and hope that he is happy enough with that to relieve the stress he will also be feeling. I do agree that Bank parking are so insensitive, greedy, horrible etc etc to continue proceedings considering  in what it is a very minor case of a wrong number plate . Even their  own  IAS Assessors, who are normally hopelessly biased in favour of their members, went out on a limb and said  " The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." That is damning evidence and you must take that report with you as well as including that in your Witness Statement which we will help you with. I would expect that Bank would discontinue the case at that point.  But I am sorry to say  that you should not count on it.  
    • Evening all,   I have deliberated over this offer for two weeks and I have decided to take their offer. I do understand that some may prefer us to go to court and receive a judgement but with our personal circumstances and my current military commitment that could become an issue. I am so grateful for all the help and support you have all offered me over the last few months. I will continue to monitor this site and push all those that are being wrong to get in touch.   Thank you! what you all do is truly amazing!

    • 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,

I posted my acceptance form on Thurs 22 Feb. Rang on Mon 26 to check they'd recieved it. They said not but try the next day. Rang the next day (Tues 27) and was told it had been recieved and the money would be in in 14 working days from then. I did remind them that the original deadline from my LBA still stood (6 March). But money actually arrived in account yesterday, so pretty quick really.

Not sure if it was the phone calls that did it, but it can't hurt to remind them your still on the case and time is ticking...

Fingers crossed your money comes just as quick:)

Bernie.

:D:D:DHalifax settled in full:

£562 in charges

06/02/07 - Sent preliminary letter recorded delivery to branch.

10/02/07 - Recieved 'passed to complaints dept' letter from

branch assistant manager.

20/02/07 - Sent LBA recorded delivery to branch.

22/02/07 - Recieved letter from complaints dept offering £444.

Called in person to reject and was offered full amount there and then. Posted back amended acceptance form.

I filed on 19th Feb. No news since, nothing. I rang them twice on Thursday to see if they received, they said they hadn't (liars).

 

I'm gonna be ringing them up first thing tomorrow (SAT) and keep asking until they confess they've got it. By the way, their "customer relations" phonelines are open at the weekend for a few hours, despite what they say in the recorded message.

 

 

Wish me luck someone.

 

EDIT: just realised this is slightly off-topic. 8-)

  • 2 weeks later...

What are all the circumstances of your claim and offer? What's happened so far to get you to this point?

 

We need to know a bit more about the details to give you a decent opinion.

If in doubt read the

FAQs

 

If still in doubt - ask!

It was just a general thought really. I am on day 10 of waiting for the £4000 payout. I noticed that a few people had not been payed out until the last minute and just wondered if it came to it what would be the next step if they didn't pay out within the 14 day period.

I had no problem getting the offer and acccepting / returning the acceptance etc.

Did their offer stipulate that they'd pay within 14 days? If it did and they don't I'd call them and tell them you'll give them 24 hours to sort it or you'll submit a claim.

Having just called Halifax and informed them that the 14 days for payment is up tomorrow I have been told that they are now taking up to 28 WORKING days before payment due to the volume of claims.

 

I hinted at filing a court claim and the response I got was 'that will take longer than waiting for the current claim to be paid'.

 

WHAT THE HECK DO I DO NOW ???:mad:

Im no expert but i would say that this is just another attempt at them trying to prolong your claim, just carry on with your timescale. As many people have said on this site, its your money not theirs!!!

I would very much doubt it if it went that far, if you file to court then the bank has time to decide whether to file a defence or not and if you read around some other threads you will see that alot of other people have been in your situation and it never ends up going that far. They usually end up settling rather than file a defence and go to court

The banks dont want it to go to court as it will set a precident for them in the future.

 

Hope that makes sense! :)

I have won the case and sent the acceptance letter to them. They them stated it would be up to 14 working days for the money to be in my account. Now they are saying it could be up to 28 working days.

They made the offer 8 days after receiving the LBA.

 

My issue is that they stated that it would be 14 working days for the money to be in my account. This is now complete rubbish. It seems they can take as long as they want!!!

Did you win at court?

or did they offer you full settlement at what stage?

 

If they offered at LBA stage, you could tell them that you ceased your proceedings on the understanding that you would have the funds within 14 days. Tell them that you will reinstate your proceedings if the funds are in your account by friday(say) and then they will be liable for interest plus all court costs, and an application will be made for expenses, As you believe this is a deliberate delaying tactic to prevent court action and this will be brought to the attention of the courts

the lady on the phone said it would be fine if I want to cancel the payment of the offer and if I want to go through the courts then that is up to me.

 

I can't afford to be waiting around or hanging on another 8 weeks while a court claim goes through.

I would send them a letter (or fax) briefly outlining the points i have raised in #9.

It might gee them up a bit, it might not.

Its really up to you.

 

Did they settle for the full amnount you were claiming? as this may have an effect if you go down the court route
