    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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 all,

I have been lurking here for the last couple of weeks reading everybody's posts and building up the courage to make my own claim.

 

Have now decided to take the plunge.

 

Got my wife to go through the statements online last night and have sent my first letter to HSBC asking them for £3800 back in unlawful charges.

 

Lets see what happens.

Good luck with the claim. As my own is nearing finalisation I can assure you that whilst the ride might be bumpy, the landing will be sweet.

Posted my LBA yesterday what a palaver that turned out to be.

Decided to post the letter on my lunch break and as I walk past my branch to get to the post office decided to hand deliver the letter instead.

Went up to the little counter and presented my letter in a sealed envelope and asked if this could be passed on to the bank manager and could I have a recite to say they had received my letter. The nice lady behind the counter said she was unable to give me a recite as it was against bank policy. I asked her to check this with her supervisor so off she went. When she came back my letter had been opened and she returned it to me with a leaflet about the banks complaints procedure. A little stunned I asked what was going on and she said well it’s a letter of complaint and I would need to follow the banks procedure.

Now I am just a little upset so demand to speak to the services manger. When the services manager comes over I explained what has happened and she seems shocked that this wasn’t the conclusion I was after. So I explained that I wanted my letter passed on to the manager and that I would like something signed to say the letter had been received by the bank. I then explained that if I went next door to the post office and paid o £1 they would do this. Her reply was so you’re trying to save £1. I went mad at this and was asked on a couple of times to "please be quite" as I was starting to make a lot of noise about how they had stolen my money and were making run round in circles trying to get it back. Finally the service manger agreed to photo copy my letter sign the copy to say the letter had been received and pass on the original.

So all in all it took 35 mins to get the bank to sign to say they had received my letter. Next time I decide to send the bank a letter I deffinatly going to walk straight past the bank and get the post office to deal with it.

Recived a response to my first letter today. it was the standard letter saying that the charges are inforcible and are the charges i agread to and also pointing me to the banking ombodsman if i want to take this further.

 

I also went overdrawn by £60 this last month and the bank have reversed a number of direct debits charging me £30 ago they even reversed one for £1.50..

In the end they reversed 5 direct debits totalling £220 to get my account back in order as the charges amounted to £150 and were taken out after each reversal.This never usally happens if i do go over my overdraft they usally pay all my direct debits and charge me £125. look like they starting to play hard ball with my account. When i phoned up to enquire about these new charges the memeber of staff i spoke to took a look at my account and wilst larfing said theres nothing i can do and then hung up.

 

The dead line from the letter before action is Thursday so it looks like i will be fileing with the court.

 

I want to be ready to go as soon as the deadline passes so i took a look at the money claim site today and found that the text from the liabry section didnt fit on the form. Can anybody help with what needs to go in here I suffer from a form of dyslexia called word blindness and find it very hard to fill forms in.

 

also what do i use in the claim discription feild. is "Money taken by bank" ok

Hi Tyco,

 

You might find it easier to fill in an N1 form at your local court instead. The people there are very helpful, and will answer any questions about what bits go where. Additionally, a hand written claim form allows you to enter more claim particulars than the online method.

 

If you do file your claim in person you will need to take a couple of copies of your charges schedule too, so that this can be attached to your claim form.

 

Good luck.
