    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you 
    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks

    • 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.

Hello all,

 

Recently recieved my statements from cap 1. Got about £560 worth of charges.

I want to keep this really simple! - Alot of people seem to do this process in different ways to the FAQs.

Could someone give me the link to the calculator so i can work out my interest. I think the 8% is the easiest way for me. So do i just work out this rate and send off my request now?- i read somewhere not to add the interest yet?

 

Sorry to painful and ask questions already posted!

 

Cheers Tel

The 8% interest route is the easiest way, but you are unable to claim this until you reach the court stage, enter all your charges details into one of the spreadsheets and it will do the calculations for you, this will be the basis for your schedule of charges which must be sent with both your preliminary letter and your LBA.

In my claim to abbey i mentioned in the initial request for charge refund, that if it goes to court stage i will be claiming s.69 interestand an early settlement would reduce the costs to them, prob wont work, but doesnt harm to include

:madgrin:

ok well i have put to together my prelim letter with no mention of the %8 interest on it.- as advised above.

I appreciate alot of these questions are repetitions and i apologise!!!

So the next stage after this is my LBA? - do i included the 8% on this??

Getting nervous now! - its about £500 without interest so therefore reading this site it sounds almost beneficial if they do not pay up straight away as you can then go for the 8% - which they always end up paying?!!!!

 

 

 

Cheers for all help

Just to clear this up - Have I done the correct thing by not mentioning the 8% at this point then??

And do I mention it at the next stage??

 

Cheers

Hi Tel

 

You only mention the 8% at the court stage. You add this to each charge on a spreadsheet.

WARNING TO ALL

Please be aware of acting on advice given by PM .Anyone can make mistakes and if advice is given on the main forum people can see it to correct it ,if given privately then no one can see it to correct it. Please also be aware of giving your personal details to strangers

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi all,

 

Well the 2 weeks has now passed.

I have recieved no reply as yet.

Reading other posts on here leaves me with a dilema.

It seems that CAP1 normal tactic is in about 2-3 days time send me an offer of the difference. Shall i just wait these 2-3 days and reject this offer and send my LBA together with it (if it comes!) - or just send my LBA now? - surely this would keep things nice and tidy?

Basically what i mean by this is if i accept part payment then the LBA i have sent the figures on it would be incorrect.?

Also do i include the schedule of charges again with the LBA?

 

From reading other posts it seems that the best poss scenario would be for CAP 1 to refuse then i get to claim the 8% interest as well. Is this true?

I gather everyone is still getting paid at MCOL stage?

 

Finally.....I sent my prelim letter to 4th floor , loxley house - is this correct?

 

 

Im sorry for all these questions I just need a confidence boost!!! I would appreciate any answers and thanks for your support!

hello

 

If the 14 days are up on the prelim letter then it is time to send off your letter before action which then gives them another 14 days to reply and sort out and pay you back your charges. If you still havent heard anything by the time the 14 days are up on the 15th day file at court.

 

If you recieve a letter with a settlement figure, after you have already sent your LBA letter,if your not happy with the ammount just send a letter back saying you will only accept this ammount as 'part payment' of ammount owed!!!! and that you will carry on to recover full ammount.

 

the address I used was:-

 

Legal Compliance Specialist

Capital One Bank (Europe) Plc

Trent House

Station Street

Nottingham

NG2 3HX

 

but i have read that other people have used a london address (I think)

 

Hope this helps
