    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.
    • Thanks so much FTMDave.  This is so much better   I'm still tempted to leave the blue section in is as if I lose it will at least save me a little bit of money.  But I get your point that it's pretty superfluous.   Thinking I'll get this in the post on Monday unless you think it's worth delaying?   
    • Hi All I have now received a Final Reminder, which I have attached. Can you confirm that I should still ignore this letter and take no further action. It does not appear to say "Letter of Claim" anywhere on the document but I just wanted to check with you all. Many thanks FightUnfairParkingTickets Parking Charge Final Reminder issued 29th May 2024.pdf

    • 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.

LBA = Letter Before Action, You can find it in the bank tempates library. It basically gives them 14 days to repay the charges and if they don't you will pursue the claim through the courts.

Many of the banks are being swamped by the prelim letters and many people do not get any response at all. If you have proof that they received your prelim letter, then count 14 days from the date of that letter and then send your LBA. As long as you have proof of them having received your letters, just stick to the timescales.

 

Prelim 14 days

LBA 14 days

Claim

Recieved letter today dated 20th march stating "that we are sorry to learn you are unhappy etc...... and that the Financial Services Authority gives them 8 weeks to investigate and respond to complaints?

 

Any advice on whether I should wait till then or press on with original deadline as set out in the LBA.

 

Cheers JD

Yep, agreed. Carry on and stick to your timescales johnie. When they say in the letter "Financial Services Authority gives them 8 weeks to investigate and respond to complaints" that means any complaints. You dictate the timescalce not the bank.

 

(as joewalshy said):)

14 days prelim approach.

14 days LBA.

File claim in court. (doubt it'll go that far with hbos)

 

Don't take the first offer they give you if it's not the full amount (or as close to it as you're willing to settle). They know that if you go to court you'll be adding on 8% interests and they'll have to pay costs as well as paying you the full amount. They'll back down and offer you the lot..

 

Good luck and I'll keep you updated on my claim 'cos we're at similar stages:grin:

  • Haha 1

BOS :D.P.A/S.A.R - (In Branch) 28/02/07

PRELIM - 06/03/07 (std 8 wk reply recieved)

LBA - 20/03/07 (ignored)

Hi Guys looking for some help I'm now beginning to prepare my LBA in a template from the Library Some questions I have are The LBA begins with stating that I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letters of the 09/03/07. But they did respond saying they were justified in their charge etc.?

also it says "I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX.

I am enclosing a copy of the schedule of the charges which I am claiming. I have already sent you a copy of this in my original letter of the [XXDATE OF FIRST LETTERXX]

How do I work out the overdraft interest or is this the 8% calculated on the spreadheet. Sorry if this sound a bit stuoid but I'm reaaly not sure if this is the correct template letter for me

Hi jd, you need to rework the letter to suit you. State that they have not replied satisfactorily to your letter.

 

The interest is not the 8%. If you use the advance spreadsheet in the templates it will take you through how to claim the interest you have been charged on your charges

It is in the bank templates library No 6 Interest calcuation spreadsheets. Click on England Advanced - Excel . Save it and then fill it in. There will be the instructions on how to use the spreadsheet on the left with the actual parts for you to fill in on the right (pretty blue and yellow colours on it) If you still can't find it, pm me your e-mail address and I will e-mail you a copy of the one I have.

Hi Guys having probs with the scottish version of bank template letter the english version seems to calculate the interest fine, is this a problem anyone else has encountered or should I ignore claiming with interest and stick to claim for charges + judicial interest

any advice would be apprieciated as I'm sending my LBA tommorow

Cheers JD

Hi jd, You have to work out whether it is worthwhile you claiming the interest at this stage or whether to claim the 8% at MCOL stage. I personally worked out my interest to be only about £20 so therefore didn't bother. If you were in credit at the time of the interest being deducted from your account (which in my case I was), the spreadsheet shows a big fat zero to claim back. The decision is entirely up to you.

 

Good luck in whatever decision you have made and keep us informed on how it goes.

 

Take care

 

Jo
