    • 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

 

Im a newbie to this forum and have had a look around the posts but cant find the answer.

I bought a TV from First National when i was 18 to pay £13.39 per month, agreement has been paid off now, 3 years later with the agreement being extended.

I incurred a small fortune of charges over the 3 years due to late payment, not being bothered to pay for that month, but always ended paying up and hefty charge on top, have callled them up today to request statements which theyve told me its free (Sounds too good to be true) But i read people mentioning their credit agreement?? Do i need to read this before i claim to see whats what?? or can i claim regardless of what it says?

Any help would be great :confused:

First national (GEmoney ) sent me copies of statements for three accounts i had with

them. As long as you have the account number at present to tell them. They will send you statements of your account, no problem. When you have your statements, they will show all your penalty charges and dates. I never relied on my agreement at all.

I was very lucky. This might make you chuckle. :)

Thanx for that, had a read of your thread and well done, got the ball rolling by sending my letter off requesting the statements.

Be shocked to see how much they have bled me dry, but will bide my time.

Well, just recieved a letter back from First National stating that whoever i spoke to on the phone about having my statements sent for free was wrong, and that there will be a £10 charge to have them made payable to GE MONEY (Wishful thinking on my part i suppose :| ) now i intend to send my £10 cheque off at the end of the week and wait for my statements.

egan3103,

Always better to communicate in writng .Then you can keep a record of events easily. Send all your correspodence to them recorded. That stops them denying they received you mail. This letter might help; http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/516-1-data-protection-act.html

Does this mean i have been charged???

Bit unsure of weather i calculate this??

Direct Debit Reversed 01/10/03 £13.39 £581.87

Returned Direct Debit Fee 01/10/03 £10.00 £591.87

 

 

Help would be really grateful :)

How have you worked out your charges ? Returned D/D fee is a penalty charge. The

D/D reversed also looks like a penalty charge. Why have they charged you for a D/D payment ? That needs questioning.

Think im going to have to work it out by looking at the total balance and seeing if there is an increase or decrese in the balance.

Statement is a little confusing and cant see GE money being much help :|

Do i then create a spreadsheet and prilim letter?

They are really good at fudging the charges. Try writing to them to list all your charges. If they refuse it will look better than you estimating them if you have to issue court proceedings. Good luck.
