    • Notice how Kev goes about his scam.  In Kahunaburger's case they left the car park well before the time shown on the ticket they had purchased.  But because Kev added on the time taken to look for a parking spot and queue to pay/try to get an internet signal he still sent them an invoice. So If you had left before the Justpark message, say at 3:55, Kev would still have managed to turn that into a stay of 4:06 and thus an overstay and an invoice. Unfortunately for Kev, judges have ruled against his reasoning.  Have a read of this famous case  http://parking-prankster.blogspot.com/2014/03/waiting-for-space-is-not-parking.html  
    • Its okay - It happens. And this is why DCAs  user every trick in the book to try and make you crack.  Now its time to come back.    Im not sure how to proceed if Im honest if they have issued a Letter Of Claim.  Only as You could complain to Oakbrook and they still proceed with Legal Proceedings, but I dont know if that would help or hinder the legal proceedings if they began down that avenue.  I know a FOS complaint wouldnt stop Legal Action and probably run along side it.  But I guess a judge would view a disputed balance with the original creditor as cause for concern whether the DCA's claim is valid?    A bit of a muddle.     
    • That is superb. To answer your question - Dear Mr Dhaliwal Change the sentence - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us ... To - As our disabilities were ignored and disregarded for the time taken I believe this is discrimination against us contrary to the Equality Act 2010. Iceland have always been useless, not only in your case but in others, but I think if they realise they are breaking the law it will encourage them to act. I also think the letter is overlong and you could lose the paragraph - I cannot afford any unfair charges of this kind as I am severely struggling financially. I cannot work and am a carer for my disabled Son who also has a mental and mobility disability. I obviously do not have any disposable income and am in debt with my bills. So its an absolute impossibility for me to pay this incorrect charge - as the main points are made elsewhere.

    • 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 All,

 

Good to hear most of you seem to be getting your money back + interest.

 

I was in an unfortunate situation a few years ago and have been paying the price ever since through charges and the unhelpfulness of my bank.

 

Just sending my letters off to the bank to find out how much they've charged me over the years. I've got to send 2 letter as I have 2 accounts at 2 different branches. Should be interesting to see what responses I'll get.

 

Anyway keep up the good work

Hi,

 

So I got bored waiting to find out how much I've been charged (I know its only been 1 day). Decided to go online to find out how much.

 

Joint Account = £1961.07

Single Account = £2662.51

 

I feel sick!!

 

Should I wait until I receive my statements, or now that I have the amount should I go ahead and create the LBA?

 

Thanks

LBA - all the way, although it would be better to do the preliminary letter first...goods luck.

I WON!!!! I can't believe it. It took 1 letter prelim letter. Ok so they went 5 days over the 14 days, but I received a letter this morning offering me 90% of the amount I'm claiming back, which is more than I was expecting.

 

Only thing is they have only offered me money for one of my accounts, and they haven't included the interest.

 

I'm going to sign the letter and hand it in to one of the branches tomorrow. Then all I have to do is wait for the other letter to turn up.

 

Does anyone know how long it will take for the money to appear in my account? Plus what do I do about the interest? Ignore it?

 

Thanks

You cant add the 8% apr until you put in a court claim. as you've been lucky enough not to get to that stage, you cant add interest. you can add interest if you were being charged interest for being overdrawn when the charges were made, but it is highly complicated to work it out, so most people dont bother as its only a few quid usually.

 

At the court stage, the 8% apr really bumps up the total.

 

hope this helped ;)

I decided to phone the Service Quality Team today to find out whats happened about my other account. I got to speak to an Adam Collins who I was told has taken over from Mr. Pretty (he has moved on to better things). Apparently when they received the letter someone decided to put it on file, instead of marking it for action (this maybe a reason why some people aren't getting a response!) He's going to respond either today or tomorrow, but I should have another offer by end of this week, early next week.

 

Good times ahead!!
