    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 everyone :)

 

I'm new to the Barclays forum as I've been stuck in the RBOS forum since December trying to get back my charges. In the meantime, I've decided to claim from Barclays for my sister who's managed to get herself into a bit of a tizz with how they've treated her account. Barclays SAR's, here I come!

 

Good luck all!

Thanks seaside lady! (love your avatar!!)

 

I'm also claiming from Halifax for myself but they're taking ages to send me my SAR and I sent off for this early December and i'm still waiting!!!! Phoned them up today and they said it should arrive by 26 February. This is after threatening them and reporting them to the Information Commissioner. They reckon they haven't received any request from me. Crossing fingers as that one will be a big sum (if you take into account compounded interest) but i'm trying to go back beyond 6 years but i'll have to see what type of statements I get from them first!

Good luck with your niece as well... I swear, if any one else asks me to claim back their charges for them, I shall be charging them interest!:D

Same here... I used to waste my time on gossip sites (sad I know) but I figure getting my money back on this site will benefit me all the more. :D

The world would certainly know if I ever lost a case to these banks as i will shave my head off (a la Ms Spears) in protest!

Hey there

 

Quick update:

 

Received Notice of Hearing on 4 August stating the following:

 

TAKE NOTICE that the Preliminary Hearing will take place on

 

17 August at 10am

 

at Romford County Court

 

The following directions apply to this claim:

 

a) Each party shall delivery to every other party and the court offices copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing

 

b) the copies shall be delivered by 4pm on wednesday 22 August

 

c) The claimant is to prepare a schedule setting out the details of all relevant charges, including amoutns and ates, to be included with the copy documents.

 

d) The original documents shall be brought to the hearing

 

e) The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement beforre hearing date.

 

As i was puzzled with the dates, ie request of documents AFTER the hearing, I called the court who said this is just a preliminary hearing to decide what is to be done - has anyone ever heard of this? I also asked whether it'd be a one-to-one and the lady said she didn't know.

 

Any thoughts?

 

This sounds like I need to provide the court and Barclays with a court bundle by 22 August. But why a preliminary hearing?? Do you think they'll just tell us it's been stayed?

Thanks Saintly... I called again and again they said it's just a preliminary hearing and to provide what is stated (woman sounded well stroppy!) - I find it odd but I'll just follow what's said. Although I filled in the new AQ, I've noticed they've only requested that both Barclays and myself provide charges info but not the rest. Do you reckon I should submit a full court bundle just in case, especially as i've been reading up on it in preparation?

Hi Marcelle

 

It's a tircky one because the Preliminary is on the Friday and court bundles required by the next Wednesday otherwise I would have suggested you wait til the hearing to quantify whether the directions were correct.

 

However, it is always best to play safe and always always comply within the time frame to orders from the court.

 

a) Each party shall delivery to every other party and the court offices copies of all documents on which he intends to rely at the hearing

 

This is asking for your full court bundle so I would print take all three copies to the hearing so you can hand them to Barclays and court in person (saves on massive postage);

 

 

c) The claimant is to prepare a schedule setting out the details of all relevant charges, including amounts and dates, to be included with the copy documents.

 

Fine, this will be part of your bundle in a) anyway.

 

d) The original documents shall be brought to the hearing

 

Again, your bundle will be made up of all the original copies so once more, this is covered in a)

 

:)

OK, my sister received in the post today a letter from Barclays saying they will be staying the case pending outcome of OFT....

 

The prelim hearing is this Friday 17 August at Romford County Court who aparently are handling stays on a case by case basis. But, as the bundle to each party is due by Wednesday 22 August I was going to hand delivery this on the 17th but I'm thinking Barclays will not turn up. Do you think the Judge will stay the case and if he does and I contest this, do I have to tell him I will be applying for the stay to be lifted at the time or do I just accept and fill in the N224?

I'd give the court another ring to see if your hearing tomorrow has been cancelled as this happened to me and the court didn't inform me.

 

My preliminary hearing was schedulled for today at 10:30am at Shrewsbury County Court and after a letter from Barclays like yourselves I contacted the court yesterday only to be told the hearing was now cancelled and my case stayed.

Hey Belly... just rang the court and they're still going ahead tomorrow. I have no idea what to expect but have been reading through hundreds of threads and hope that Barclays settle (fingers crossed). However, as I know Barclays have stayed, I am getting to grips with the argument on how to argue the stay and I've noticed some people have won and others not!

Hey there.... just posted this on Sarah's thread but this is what happened this morning...

 

I went along with my sister but the usher told me I was forbidden to speak to the Judge directly but only to sister and the Barc rep. Anway, we had a preliminary hearing and it was allocated for 10am but we weren't seen until 12.45pm (how annoying).... anyway the Judge was basicially on the banks side by stating that Romford County Court is very busy and we just don't have time for all these claims for bank charges and as the outcome would be decided in January there's no difference in time whether we overrule the stay or not!!!! My sis told him about infringement on Human Rights and how the only reason why she got into this situation is because of their charges in the first place but then he agreed it's only a small portion of money being claimed but it's best to wait until the outcome next year. Feeling defeated, i said to the Barc rep (as i was forbidden to speak to the judge) it may take longer than a year - maybe even 3 and he said not it won't it'll take a year max for the outcome. Then the judge said we can appeal against the stay and he'll send a form out to us within 2 days. But the thing is, my sister handed both him and the Barclays rep the Stay Appeal found on here and of course he didn't really have the time to read it whilst the case was going on. I even said it benefits the bank more as you still will be charging penalty on her account if she goes overdrawn.

Judge just wasn't having any of it and it really seemed he was on the bank's side. I would rather of him send that blanket letter out to us stating that the court will be complying with the Banks on the stay until it's remedied instead of wasting our time!!!! I also didn't even get to ask for expenses!!!!!!

 

I was supposed to hand my court bundle to both Barclays and the Judge by next Wednesday and even forgotten to ask whether this is still necessary.... I will have to call the court now.
