    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

My first post, so I hope I am in the right forum!

 

I have had a Marbles card for 5 years and decided to claim back the charges they have made during this period. Sent the standard request off to them 5 weeks ago and didn't receive a reply, so I called them this evening.

 

Firstly, the operator was adamant that I had to pay £5 per copy of a statement - despite me stating that the maximum they could charge was £10 for the full 5 years. I then spoke to a "supervisor", who said that the charge is £10 per year...after reiterating the data protection act to them I finally managed to get the full 5 years for £10!

 

Secondly, and the this is the main reason for my post, they informed me that the credit card was on permanent block. This is due to several monthly repayments being made a few weeks late last year (the past 4 repayments have all been made on time). This shocked me because I have not received any correspondence from them - be it in writing or over the phone and they have not issued a default on the account (checked my credit report).

 

Can they simply do this? They refuse to put anything in writing confirming what they said, so I am just taking their call centres word for it. Don't they usually default an account prior to this?

 

They are happy to continue receiving the monthly minimum repayment off of me and collecting the interest each month. As they have effectively stopped the use of my card now, do you think I can ask for them to freeze the interest?

 

Thanks for your help.

From the above bit of your post, Marbles is HFC Bank, and from my own dealings with them they'll happily keep taking your minimum payments whilst you're not actually in default and they'll keep adding interest to! They were one of the most unhelpful bunches I dealt with, don't want to know, don't want to write, ie just keep sending us money each month! They won't stop the interest until you default and it's only then that they have to.

 

Don't give up on the charges!

 

Good luck & Welcome to the forums :)

They froze my interest straight away. I requested it (in writing) and they did it with no problems... and they also refunded £75 worth of charges without me asking !!

 

My only gripe with them is that although they continue to accept my minimum payment, every 3 months I get a string of phone calls and texts (since my daughter slipped up and gave them my mobile :mad: ) pressurising me into an extra £30 or so to stop them from passing the account to a DCA.

 

I have let this carry on because I hadn't discovered the CAG !! Having now discovered this wonderful site and having almost finished dealing with 2 other accounts (successfully so far)... HFC are next on my list !

 

Next time they 'phone, there will be no increases in payment and they can pass it to a DCA if they so choose.
