    • Indeed they may have.  But you will be required to submit them again when you accept the fixed penalty. The instructions will be with the offer. It's up to you whether you want to ignore those instructions or say something like "you already have them." But if you do, the offer will be withdrawn and your case will move to court action where, as I said, the cost will be considerably greater. It's your choice but I mentioned it so as to avoid you any further trouble. Believe me, I know about these things.
    • This is about the worst PCN I have ever seen.  No attempt to include a period of parking.  Denying you the right of appeal as you've accused "either/or" of two completely different offences so haven't a clue about what you're supposed to have done wrong.  As the others say no mention of POFA and sent out too late for keeper liability. You might as well get onto the CEO of Tesco  https://www.ceoemail.com/s.php?id=ceo-9138&c=Tesco Plc-Group CEO  laying it on thick about being a genuine customer and attaching proof of purchase, and ask that Tesco get the ticket cancelled.  Some companies - Asda - are superb at doing this.  Others - McDonald's - are useless.  We don't know about Tesco but it would be useful to find out.  Nothing ventured ...  
    • Think of it logically.  The very people who thought up this scam to send you a demand for £100 instead of the initial £60 discounted amount, are not going to accept an appeal against their own scamming! Ignore their coming silly demands for money. But never ignore a Letter of Claim.

    • 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.

I have had a good look through some of the threads and advice on this site and are now ready to atart my action against Abbey. Just looking over my last 4 months I have had charges of £850. I have tried to have a chat with my local branch but the only advice they could give me was the Debt Managment phone number. Great idea if you want to go into the branch and beg for some money to buy your weekly shopping!!!!

I have printed out the SAR and am just wondering if I make the cheque out to Abbey?

My daughter is also claiming but she has requested them by phone.

Any advice is greatly received. Thank you.

I received the standard 2 letters from Abbey last week. The complaints one and confirming my SAR. (This was actually signed by a person!).

I have also opened an account with Natwest ready for when I close my Abbey account.

I have also been telling everyone I know about this site as most people still do not realise that we can take on the banks.

I take that back, Natwest have refused my Step account application after they saw my statement from Abbey!!

It looks as if my credit rating could be bad. Has anyone any ideas as to an account that is a bit more accepting. My only other option is to stay with Abbey.

All statements now received well within the 40 days Wow!!

I have put all the charges from 23/11/01 to present day onto the spreadsheet and they total £4643.

Time to have a good read through the next step. Looks like we may even be able to take a small holiday this year!

No luck with NatWest in the end for a parachute account, Lloyds basic account looks ideal as there is no Co-op bank our way.

Abbey have had their 14 days so the Letter Before Action is off to them today, recorded of course!

And since the prelim I have had more charges it is now £4883.

What has made me laugh this week is that according to my statements Abbey have kindly refunded 3 returned cheques charges, I have not had any cheques returned and the refunded charges are £30 which is for clearing cheques, returned cheques are £35!!!

Cheers for that. I'm a bit peeved they have not offered a good will payment yet as it would have come in handy, but it only means I will have a couple more charges to add when I take them to court!!!

Just received the standard " we are currently investigating your complaint.......4 weeks ago........taking longer than expected..........if we are unable to complete investigation...... write again in 4 weeks etc"

They received my LBA 2 weeks ago and this was in reply to the letter sent 4 weeks ago!!!

Another letter to ignore. Court forms will be done Monday morning.

Filled in claim online. Just wanted to double check that my claim amount at the bottom of the form is amount only and not interest, as interest is going to go up every day.

Hello Toni

 

The total amount at the bottom of the form is total amount of charges plus interest upto & including the date you put your claim in!

 

At the end of your POC, you should have a little sentence mentioning the fact that interest will still be added to the claim at an amount of £x per day until judgement or settlement of the claim.

 

Phil:)

This is only my personal, honest opinion!
