    • 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.

If the account number is the same, then you have to treat it as the same account. Otherwise, treat as separate accounts.

 

However, if the account numbers are different, you could list the numbers within the same SAR letter if the accounts belong to the same person.

 

Send your request by RECORDED delivery.

 

GOod luck.

While you're waiting on your statements, Callum, have a read of Nattie's post about Adv Gold. You may need to separate the (unclaimable) monthly fee from the charges.

Good luck, keep us all posted.

Guest NATTIE

Sorry i picked this one late, with an advatage gold account when it is converted, apart from the type of account you have, nothing else changes so account number would be the same. SAR is 40 days max so we could be going overtime with this.

Hi all,

 

I got my statements today. I've gone through and calculated £1,328. I am a bit confused, on the statements it will say above almost every charge, Interest - then an amount usualy in the £5.00 region. I haven't been adding this amount on, should I, and if so do I just add it to the amount of the charge below it.

 

Hope this makes sense

 

Callum

Hi Callum, if i'm reading your post correctly - I'd assume the interest is what you're being charged for going overdraw/over your overdraft. If this is the case, you need to download one of the interest calculation spreadsheets if you'd like to claim this back. Basically, you can claim back the interest on the charges only - not the interest for any agreed overdraft that you may have. It's complicated to work out - but worthwhile if it's a few extra quid! Good luck, hedgey xxx:p

Hi Guys,

 

Slightly annoying but yesterday I sent off my LBA. Guess what? ....I get home and check my post and I recieved a letter from Natwest! Sods Law!!!

 

Anyway I'm quite concerned now as the opening line to the LBA is " I am very disappointed you have failed to respond to my letter dated 1st May 2007"

 

There letter says

 

"Thank you for your recent letter regarding the fees applied to the account. We are currently considering your claim. Given the work involved in assesing your claim we anticipate that we will be in a position to respond within 6-7 weeks, but will endeavour to do so sooner if we are able"

 

Should I write another letter and address it to the guy from Natwest explaining I've sent a letter with a 14 day deadline before filling a court case, or should I just leave it as it is and just start counting down the 14 days.

 

Thanks alot

You are too generous. Simply ignore their letter. They will receive your 14 days deadline on your LBA. Let them worry about it. The idea of 6-7 weeks of investigating your claim is a fob off.

 

Prepare for your court action after 14 days, waiting for 7 weeks is not recommended. That is their formula to delay things as much as possible.

I love the way they try and delay things. I think they think we will suddenly give in.

 

I actually went all the way with Barclays and it got to the sending off of the court bundle stage until they emailed me with a settlement, so I know how much they love to hold out!!!

 

I'm doing this for a friend but he does not really want to go to the court stage unfortunalely as he cannot afford the fees although you get them back. I've tried persuading him but he'd like to just take the offer (if they give one that is). I wonder how many people have done the same and the banks are laughing by getting away with only giving half the money back!!!!

It doesn't matter if your friend can't afford to file at court straight away, he can wait till he's got the money to do it, I'm in the same position myself. He can always file later on. A lot of people are having to wait the 8 weeks out for the same reason. Sometimes Natwest are coming up with full amount offers, he might be lucky.
