    • next time dont upload 19 single page pdfs use the sites listed on upload to merge them into one multipage pdf.. we aint got all day to download load single page files 2024-01-15 DBCLegal SAR.pdf
    • 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.....................................
    • Hi,   I am not sure if I posted this already here but I don't think I did. I attach a judgement that raises very interesting points IMO. Essentially EVRi did their usual non attendance that we normally see, however the judge (for the first time I've seen in these threads) dismissed the notice and awarded me judgement by default because their notice misses the "confirmation of compliance" paragraph. in and out in 3 minutes (aside from the chat at the end with the judge about his problems with evri) Redacted - evri CPR loss.pdf
    • Just to update this. I did apply to strikeout and they did not attend the hearing. I won by defualt and the hearing lasted 5 minutes (court only allocated 15). The judge simply explained that the only matter he was really considering is if the Defendant could have any oral evidence to defend the claim. However he said he had decided that based on their defence, and their misunderstanding of law, and their non attendence he did not think they had any reasonsable chance so he awarded me SJ + Costs on the claim form + the strikeout fee. Luckily when I sent the defendant the order I woke up the next day to a wire trasnfer for the full sum of the judgement

    • 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.

Caz thats fab, ooh how exciting your project is to do with babies, seeing as thats all I can think about at the mo!!! Can't wait to find out what your doing. Hey it'll be like a rags to riches story, did you see the three men on Best Britons the other night, the ones that make that 'innocent' drink, they're company went from nothing to now being worth £80m!!! That'll be you soon!!!

I'm sure your kids will all be fine, obviously hard workers! And sport is the best thing. My partner plays golf (a lot!!!), he's been playing since he was little and he swears that when he was in school and some of his friends went down the drugs etc route, he was too busy playing golf and so it never interested him, he says it was the best thing he could ever have done as he never had the time to be tempted!

Any news Torigirl?? Think I may ring Barclays today.

Isn't it nice to find out a bit more about each other? This site is great!

Hi poppy, yes it is great to learn more about each other.

My first idea has been patented so i can tell you a little about it, it is a shade for babies 0-9months in travel systems/rearward facing prams etc, basicly it fits over the handles of pushchair and folds neatly away, when you need it, you simply pull it over the hood of the pram, it offers UV rating of 50+ unlike conventional shades, and shields baby from all angles, so you dont need to adjust. It also has a hanging mobile toy, that can be removed for baby to play with, and two other toys that attach. When you transfer baby into the car, it can also be used in there, by just putting it over the headrest of the car. So baby is protected from the sun completely in the car, (no need for stick on window shades), and it also cools the baby down. Still looking for someone to buy the idea from me or to license it, i did go into manufacturing in China but it became so complicated and difficult i backed out.

So hopefully something will happen soon.

When is your baby due, you must be very excited, I remember how i felt with my first baby, it seems never ending, and the heat is awful.

Good luck

Caz

Wow Caz, That 1st idea sounds great

I hate those little sun brollies that clip on the buggy, the clips snap and then you have to keep moving it all the time to block the sun.

There are people who will provide backing for these types of project, but you need to find a reputable backer, and not sure how they operate as well.

But would love to see that idea on the market

Morning!

The in-laws landed last night and still haven't heard from Barclays, so not really sure what I should do from here, I suppose just do what we all do...wait!

Paul - thanks sooooo much for writing about your job on here it really gives me a little insight of whats involved! Do you think there is a course like what the Police go on for Race and Diversity that I could go on just to help me?

Caz and Poppy - Morning Ladies! You're right its lovely chatting to everyone and finding out more about them! Caz you really need to get on Dragon's Den- that would be brilliant!!! Poppy I wasn't here yesterday to write to you, did you phone Barclays???? What happened????

Saintly - I see you had a little taster yesterday of our group therapy sessions!!!:)

Morning Tori

 

Some local colleges do a course on applying to the Police.

These are links to sites which shows some others

Home | Training | Recruitment | Entrance Exam Courses -www.Police-Information.co.uk - Police Supplies and Service Directory.

 

Police Application - Police Officer / PCSO Recruitment Advice

 

TalkingBlues | Police Recruitment Training

 

There may be courses at other colleges around the country.

I believe they are good and the success rate is high too.

 

Another pointer would be if you want advice on joining talk to a YOUNG officer not an OLD one, just because most of the old officers i know hate the job now 'its not like it used to be' is waht you usually get.

 

GMP runs open days for people to find out about the job, most probably your force will do the same

 

Good luck, If you are determined you will suceed

5,000!!!! Holy Jesus thats amazing!

Not heard anything yet, not really too sure on what I should be doing now as I contacted them and sent my statements by fax so I have been really pushing them to do something, but as I don't have a court date there's not really much more I can do, but sit and wait I suppose, quite a bit of an anti-climax!

Hows yours going?

The courts are really slow down here - probably clogged up with these - so it seems to be taking a while for paperwork to be going through the system. I have however tried to play hard ball with my AQ, and hope that the fact the court may be slightly swamped, will mean they accept my suggested directions and force Barclays hand sooner, this would mean no court date, just the court asking for info to be provided by both sides (basically standrad disclosure in a new guise) and obviously they wouldn't want to do that, so would settle straight away...

...if the court don't accept my directions, then it could be weeks before I get a date through, and that date could be a while coming!

 

humph!

I did exactly the same, I sent a letter suggesting small claims track and a draft of directions, but it doesn't look like they have bothered with those, shame though, it would of been great forcing barclays hand!

Emmy's got her money -- have to say little jealous would of liked to have it now, not having to do all this waiting! It looks like you and I have to work/wait a little harder/longer!

It's happened again - I've had an offer of full settlement from Barclays-

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My court date was 14 June (just for a hearing, but a telephone hearing to be set up by Barclays) - like HSBC I don't think they wanted to go down that road - :-)

I'm so chuffed - didn't even have to produce a bundle!

Stick with it, torigirl, poppyo7 and all - your turn can't be far off now.

Hey Johnnymitch!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Enjoy all that money!! Like you said our turn has to be soon, not heard anything from either Barclays or the Courts, at least when I get back off holiday hopefully I'll have a nice sum a cash waiting for me!!!!

Caz - I'm off on a tour round Europe, Craig's mum and dad are over form New Zealand so we have to do the whole bit. And to be honest me and the Mother in law do NOT get on, she is soooo picky, I am at the moment just holding my breathe and letting it go over my head, but if I am with her 24/7 I'm not sure I'll be able to! So wish me luck with her xxx Enjoy your holiday but I'll be back by then and speak to you before you go!:)

Thanks torigirl - enjoy your holiday and (fingers crossed!) you'll have good news to come back to.

Think positive - once you get a court date send a 'gentle nudge' letter just to keep your file fresh in their memory and .......who knows?

 

Cheers

Ive had my settlement too! (see my thread for details, but its all ok!)

settled in full, and theyve agreed not to put anything on my credit file given that the reason my account has been in such a state for so long (i cancelled everything in or out of it in jan) has been because of this ongoing claim, and now its settled (or will be within 10 working days) they have agreed to reinstate my card/cheque book etc!
