    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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.

Hello all, new to this, so please excuse.:confused:

After reading the boards I decided to give it a go. I wrote on 3 May with your standard letter format. I received a reply today from Peter Townsend refunding the £10 cash I sent, they cannot process cash !!!! Copy statements are in the post to me FREE OF CHARGE. However, the letter states

"as regards to your mention of 'manual intervention', the DPA does not oblige the Bank to comment about internal policies & procedures. Furthermore, in context of the managing of transactions arising from out of order accounts, the Bank does not hold the information you have requested in a form that would be covered by the DPA. Whilst aggregated information is retained for statistical purposes, this would not constitute 'personal data' under the DPA and therefore would not be covered by a s.7 DPA subject access request. For the aviodance of doubt, the fact that we do not generally record information in a way that is caught by the provisions of the DPA, is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention."

What does this mean please?:confused:

So I get my bank statements shortly, I hope, and I suppose I have to add up all the 'exceeding overdraft' charges myself. What about the interest? I get charged interest for the authorised overdraft & I assume, for the unauthorised amount. Does that come into the calculations?

Look forward to hearing from someone more savvy than I :rolleyes: .

Hi - I sent my letter off 1st of may and after reading yours I have received exactly the same copy from the same person returning my £10 cheque saying that my copy statement will be supplied shortly. I too would like to know what the rest of the letter means and if we need to do anything or just wait for the statements to arrive.

Hi again

The statements arrived this morning in 2 A4 sized envelopes. Have calculated that £725 has been taken unlawfully from our account.:-x

Before I send the preliminary letter a quick question. It's a joint account now and all charges were incurred when joint but hubby opened this account as soon as he left school. Do both names need to be listed or can I just get on with it. Only 1 of us needs to sign for the Bank. Your thoughts would be appreciated please.

As the account only requires one signature then it is fine for you to take the action.

 

With regard to the manual intervention issue, that is just a very carefully worded attempt to try and claim that the fact they haven't got any record of manual intervention, doesn't mean there wasn't any.

 

Actually, what they are saying is incorrect in so many ways you could have a field day with it should it ever get to court!

Thanks for that info Alan.

 

My hubby's just got in from work, and was shocked when I told him £725 could be returned to our account. Greedy B*****ds was the extact phrase.

Letter received this morning from Mike Brophy of Customer Relations, saying how sorry he is that I am unhappy with the Bank Charges I have incurred. Blah, Blah, Blah. And a Complaints Leaflet.

Roll on 5th June. ;)

Of course, if you used the template Request for Refund letter, you specifically asked them not to sent a standard letter and leaflet in reply. It is up to you, but I would take this as being an unsatisfactory response and move to the Letter Before Action.

 

Perhaps start it by saying that you are disappointed to see they have responded to your letter of xxxxxxxx by sending a standard letter and leaflet, something which you expressly stated they should not do. You are now left with no alternative but to send this final Letter Before Action......

I am in the process of preparing to send the dpa first letter to Barclays.

I am a little worried tho about the number of letters Barclays are sending out questioning their responsibilities to supply man intervened info I also noted the statements they sent to one of the claimants which were unreadable and Barclays stated they had no legal responsibility to supply them in any particular file type,

 

I am wondering whether their legal guys are trying to address an upsurge in claims now by being erratic in their responses.

 

Some claimants have had differing reponses one has had to file the 4o days again !!

 

I am asking if there is a need to add additional info to the dpa request letter in order to address these hindering methods they are using in replies ??

Thanks for that Alan.

Their letter did state that my comments are receiving attention and one of his team will contact me again shortly. (Don't call me Shorty:evil: :-D ).

I know it's an acknowledgement, but I agree it's a standard letter and they must be getting hundreds of them by now. hahahaha !!

Now I'm in two minds as to what to do, wait until 5th June, or as you suggested Alan, start the LBA with your paragraph( If I may quote it :rolleyes: ).

Hi, It's Me again

Well the LBA was posted on 6 June recorded delivery & I haven't heard a dickie bird from Barclays. My parachute account is up & running now.

Royal Mail have just informed me that it's not on their tracking system yet :mad: . Do I assume that it has been delivered & continue to court next week or do I re-issue the LBA?

Your thoughts would be most welcome 8-)

If you sent it first class recorded you can assume its been delivered already.

 

Although Royal Mail are slow to confirm delivery to the recipient the website should show delivery to the local sorting office.

As mentioned here lots of times if the postman has not entered the log as delivered and signed for it wont be on the site as delivered.

 

After you have given them the 14 days you can then proceed to the next step.

If they contact you after that and offer to pay you in full you can just add extra charges if you want to accept.

 

its a wait and see ...................

Letter received from Mr Keith Jeremiah yesterday with the copy of Barclays defence.

It is exactly the same as everyone else's. :rolleyes:

Does anyone at Barclays Litigation department read the claim forms, I made sure I put my account number on the N1 and stated to 'see attached sheet' with regards to the breakdown of charges claimed. And they have the audacity to say that I did not :mad: .

Anyway, s'pose I wait to hear from the court now ?

Can the title of my thread be changed to Sarajane v Barclays please ?:)
