    • A) Bollards, or B) county court action for trespass onto your private land, or C) retain one of the private parking firms, ensuring that they'll offer to take payment for the private parking space(s) on your land. (What you don't want is for them to put up signs saying "no parking" ... as then there can't be a contract to park to be broken .... read up on the parking threads to see what can be used to get out of such a private parking charge....) The PPC offers parking, with the proviso that a) they pay, and b) they provide contact numbers for the cars to be moved when needed. Make the payment required sufficient that it isn't attractive to them to chose to park there (& pay)....... Bollards may not be the cheapest option, but it will likely be the simplest / most effective.
    • You need to choose between ET and small claims, you cannot do both. For straightforward wages I'd go small claims. Faster and less messing about. Advice here Employment claims in the civil courts - Working Families WORKINGFAMILIES.ORG.UK Some types of employment-related claims can be brought in the civil courts, rather than in an Employment Tribunal. This advice page offers a high level...  
    • The garages are used - just car currently being fixed.  I have no need of what they offer.  It is conscious trespass - and the law allows. Which is frustrating.  It's just v annoying that they do this. Isn't there a law that someone cannot prevent access to a public highway from private land?
    • The problem with sending it too early is that Jake might try to write something called a Supplemental Witness Statement to undermine yours.  It would be better to send yours right on the court's deadline. The problem is that we don't know when that is.  In 90% of cases it's 14 days before the court's deadline, so 21/06.  However, in the odd case the judge decides differently.  
    • Signs and notes on windscreens wouldn't deter me either. after all. it's private land and very little deterrent to stop drivers from abusing it. A physical barrier, IMHO is the only way you will stop them abusing it.....or, depending on what businesses they are, why not rent out your garage to them, ask them for a staff discount if you purchase anything from them? Whilst it is irksome, how much money have you got to throw at it, and is it really that important in your life? If you were using your garage, different story.

    • 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 will wait till ive got my statements, i like the idea of contractual interest.. ive had a good look around and i dont quite understand it, i understand the standard 8% which seems easier, if not less.. When i get my statements and work it all out, we shall see... I may need an A to Z idiots guide to help me out with the contractual stuff...

Whats the average waiting time for acknowledgment and actually recieving statements from Halifax Credit Cards? Anyone got a rought idea?

 

When i did my bank account i had my statements within 3 weeks. Just wondered if credit cards worked out about the same even though admin is from a different area.

all contractual interest is the interest the bank charges you for the serivce they provide(i.e. within the contract), be it an overdraft, credit card usage or whatever. They generally have an authorised rate, and an unauthorised rate (when your "over" your overdraft limit). You just find out these rates, and use either one(depending on hoe "cheeky" your feeling) instead of the 8% allowed by the courts. It really increases your claim, so worth looknig into. and you can awalays claim 8% in the alternative at the judges discretion! can't lose really.

Contractual can seem a bit daunting at first. Vampiress's spreadsheets are down for some work at the moment. It might be an idea to just go for statutory for one of the accounts first just to get comfortable with the whole process. After all your claims start the month you sent your S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) so there is nothing lost by waiting to process the other 2. Happy reading and good luck. Sally

just to let you know, halifax sent half my statements requested and then i allowed them 14 more days after the 40 days were up as a "goodwill gesture" and then i sent them a letter threatening reporting and stating my treatment. Recieved them a few days later with an apology.:D Ive now been settled £685 in full.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On 27th January I sent you a letter dated 24 January 2007 in relation to a subject access request under the Data Protection Act 1998.

On 29 January this letter was received by your department and was signed for as it was sent recorded delivery, a copy of that receipt provided by Royal Mail is enclosed. On 7th February 2007 our cheque for £10 covering the cost of the subject access request was cashed.

As the 40 days is quickly coming to its close, I feel it is appropriate to remind you of your responsibility and that; should I fail to receive full documentation as requested in my original letter (Enclosed) I will be left with no alternative but to take further action and report you to the appropriate authority; in addition to applying to the court to obtain information should it be required.

In addition to this, I have made several phone calls to your office and have been met by very rude and unprofessional members of staff who have been most uncooperative which; further strengthens my desire to obtain the appropriate information.

The close date of the 40 days permitted for subject access request is this Friday 9th March. I trust that this is in fact in hand and that I will receive my information in a timely manner. I am of course expecting all of the information requested. In addition, in relation to manual interventions, I am fully aware that there has been manual interventions during the application process for the above accounts. This is inclusive of telephone conversation between under writers and my local branch in Swindon via Mr Tony Hawnt and his colleague who shared his job role. Further more I have had conversations at that time with your under writers in respect of these accounts.

As your recorded messages indicate when making telephone contact, all telephone calls are recorded for the purpose of training and security I would like copies of all my telephone conversation transcripts as part of the manual interventions.

I trust you will be fully cooperative in this matter and I look forward to receiving our statements on Friday.

Yours Sincerely

Eggie
