    • 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.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

Has anybody else had the same problem...

 

Barclaycard offered me payment of £170 as a full and final settlement figure.

They credited my account the £170.00 and then reduced my credit limit accordingly. (I am maxed out on Barclaycard). I turned this down the £170.00 accepting it as a part payment. (I am due £500) Barclaycard refused this as part payment and removed the credit from my account - leaving me £170.00 overdrawn on my credit card!!

 

Can they do this? Has this happened to anyone else?

 

As what to do next: I will fill out the court forms (moneyclaim) but will I be further charged for being overdrawn?

Have you read your terms and condtions? I suspect that in theory yes they can do this, ie reduce your credit limit.

 

have you written to them disputing the balance of the account formally?

 

If not i would do so, and i would remind them that thier actions would appear punitive in nature and that you will be reclaiming any interest and charges incurred as a result of their actions.

 

You might like to also forward a complaint to the FOS as well.

I will complain, for all the good it will do me!

 

I think now, as my dislike to barclaycard is quite high, I may as well go and add on the contractual interest rate as opposed the 8%...

 

However from reading on the forums there seems a lot of confusion over the contractual rate - mainly because it changes year to year. Where exactly can I find the contractual rate - is it attached with the statements?

Is there an easy way to work it out?

 

can anyone help?

The contractual rate is published on their site and there will be one related to the type of account you have.

 

by way of encouragement they (barclaycard that is) paid me the charges, debit interest and contractual interest plus costs.

However the Barclaycard site whilst informing you on todays rate does not inform you of the previous rates. I'm sure the rate has changed over the last 6 years!

If I contact Barclaycard do you think they would breakdown the contractual rates for all the charges I have obtained (at the times of the charges) They haven't been very helpful so far!

 

Can I just claim todays rate for charges that have applied 6 years ago?

youre right it does only give you todays rates and thats what your charging them.

 

just to make sure were both on the same page as it were.

 

I claimed back

 

1. the charges i paid

2. debit interest i paid (this was estimated using MINDZAIS spreadhseet)

3.additional contractual interest at the cash advance rate applicable for my card. I simply took the rate from their site as of the date i sent my letters off.

Okay, so the contractual interest is the credit cards % interest rate (present day)

 

Debit charges (statutory interest?) is the amount of charges you have been levied through going overdrawn - which will probably be at a higher rate due to being unauthorised? - ie, over your agreed limit.

 

Downloaded Mindzais -wil hopefully clarify.

 

Ta!

After looking through the forums it seems this is what I want to claim:

 

1. The original penalty charges;

2. The interest we have been charged on those penalty charges;

3. The interest that we are NOW charging the bank for taking those penalty charges from us:

4. The interest that we are NOW charging the bank for taking interest on those penalty charges from us.

 

The excel contractual interest spreadsheet works this all out for you, (I think - I aint looked yet) but I believe this is to be used in conjunction with bank charges not credit card charges.

 

Can anyone clarify?

What you are saying is correct re what you can charge.

 

I used MINDZAIS spreadsheet and this is for bank charges but hey Barclaycard, MBNA never moaned about it.

 

in truth the ability to calculate accurately the a mount of debit interest charged is a bit hit and miss in my view. i am not criticising anyones work in this area but i know form trying it myself its hard.

 

In truth i don't think it will matter a great deal if you use the same sheet i did from MINDZAI.

 

As an aside if you are going to claim the additional contractual interest based on their unlawful removal of your money then you should do some research if you haven't already, it can be quite confusing and complex.

I'm in no hurry. Best to get it right then to screw it up!

I'll look into it to clarify what I am doing and how i'm going to do it.
