    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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.

Try writing to Nationwide to remind them that they have NOW exceeded the date for submitting their Defence to the Court.

Also mention that if they continue to fail to do so, or alternatively, fail to Settle your Claim in FULL within the next 7 days, U will File for 'Judgement by Default'.

This should concentrate their thoughts/actions + also look good for U in front of a District Judge, if your Claim goes further.

Nationwide should have settled by 9th july have wrote them a letter giving them 7 days notice before I file for judgement as they are well over the allowance time.

 

According MTM it would favour me if it went to court by me notifying them rather then jump straight in there with a judgement by default

 

Like me don't jump straight into it either

Thats fine but with me they had until 9th july and as yet haven't done so, however received an email from Charles Bacon today saying they no receipt of my claim, so will fax them in the morning at their request.

Probably a delaying tactic though me thinks !!

Please help me, I sent them a 7 day final reminder re Judgment by default expiry date 23.59 on 19th July. On 17th July i received an email from "charlie bacon" saying the docs never received etc, so faxed and emailed a scanned copy.

I filed for Judgment on 20th july, received letter from MCOL today that judgment has been filed as per my request!!!

 

A few questions,

What happens now ?

When do I request the Warrant ?

 

Cheers TG xx

MTM...Please help me
Sorry for the delay in replying.

My PC's Boot Sector got corrupted on 15/07 + it's took me forever to round up a set of OS Re-installation Discs + my ISP Modem Driver Disc.

Not to mention Downloading Software Updates etc. + dealing with a backlog of E-mails.

The small matter of trying to recover potentially lost files + other data from my 'old' HDD (...@ approx cost of £300!!!) is still pending!

Have thought about this one...

 

Ol' 'Smokey' is Nationwide's regular In-House Brief who dealt with Claims against Nationwide up to just a couple of months ago.

Since then, Nationwide have sub-contracted out a lot of the legal aspect of Claims to Eversheds according to more recent Posts of Claimants.

 

Just cos your 1st Claim was dealt with by Ol' 'Smokey', it doesn't necessarily follow that your subsequent Claim would be dealt with by him?!

 

U haven't Posted that he definitely IS...just that U have E-mailed him + he has replied denying ALL knowledge of the details of your Claim.

 

Is it possible that, for once, a Claimant is being actually told the truth??!...:eek:

When do I request the Warrant ?

The copy of the 'Judgement by Default' letter that the Court would have sent out to U by now, would normally state a date by which the Defendant has to pay the Claimant.

 

If U STILL haven't received the details, contact the Court/MCOL.

 

 

 

Mindful of any possible application by Nationwide to have the 'Judgement by Default' Set Aside...

 

Pick out the relevant info from the already previously given Thread...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/nationwide/97774-disco_dolly-nationwide-help-court.html

...Pay particular attention to the further links contained within the above Thread.

Hi MTM

 

Nationwide may have been telling the truth initially about not receiving this notice of issue....This was his mail

 

Dear Miss TG

Thank you for your e-mail.

I regret that I cannot find any record of your claim being received by

Nationwide.

Would it be possible for you to fax a copy of the claim to me on 01793

657660? I will then ensure that it receives immediate attention.

Yours sincerely,

Charles Bacon

So I faxed a copy to this number 17th July and emailed a scanned copy which was read within 20 minutes of me sending it. He stated this would receive immediate attention, Yes if immediate also translates for do absolutely nothing

I filed for judgement on 20th due to absolutely no response, received a letter from MCOL stating judgement was filed on 20th, but that was it, no further advices in that letter, nor has any additional docs turned up.

Hi TractorGirl!

 

What I was inferring was that it may NOT be Monsieur Bacon who is acting for Nationwide for this particular Claim!

 

The following links contain further useful info on the process that may be helpful to U...

No reply to my claim form

Enforcing judgment

 

I remember that Nationwide once made an application to have the 'Judgement By Default' Set Aside on the grounds of them 'losing' the Details of the Claim due to them being swamped by the sheer nos. of Claims that they were having to deal with!

btw...They were granted their Set Aside!!!

MTM

 

how can they have this set aside ?

 

Even if they genuinely misplaced the original notice, they received further copies by fax and email which all had tracking and yet they still chose to ignore !!!

 

Judgement was filed on 20th, this is what I emailed today with a 3rd and final copy of the notice

 

Further to your email (see attached) requesting a copy of the Notice of

Issue and your advices that this will receive immediate attention, I am

writing to inform you that this claim remains unanswered, therefore I

have had no alternative but to request a JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT. Judgement

was requested on 20th July as per my previous correspondence below

A warrant will be issued in 10 days from 27th July. Any additional

costs occurred by the claimant would be added to the outstanding claim

I trust that this will suffice and look forward to receiving a positive

response

All emails sent and received have tracking attached

Yours sincerely

 

How many opportunities do they want ?

I am not jumping in here, I followed your advice and gave them a further7 days for judgement would be filed, still nothing, and have now given them 10th August before i issue the warrant, Is this not reasonable ?

Could I have grounds for any other compo too ?

xx

HI ALL

 

Received cheque for full payment today, why they didn't just credit my account is anyone's guess but hey ho,

 

Hopefully this will be my last claim with nationwide, however they keep putting £20 un authorised o/d fee on the account, even though I am no where near it, then it gets credited 24 hours later, this has happened for 3 months now !!!

Hi again Tractorgirl!

 

I hope U don't mind me adding to your Thread after U have WON, so as to bump it back up to the 1st page of the Nationwide Forum whilst everyone is hanging around for the OFT Test Case??...:)

 

Other Newbie Nationwide Claimants will be able to read of your success + take heart that even though Nationwide have taken everyone to the wire, if they DON'T give up, they will get there in the end!!!

 

I will add the link to your Contractual Interest Question Thread that U started when U were Claiming from LTSB.

There were some interesting points raised at the time on it...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/87860-contractual-interest-simple-claim.html

...It should be noted that the main two people arguing both for + against C.I. had both had successful Claims for C.I. at the time.

 

(World War 3 had not long since broken out across the CAG Forums cos an ill prepared C.I. Claimant had had substantial Costs awarded against them in a failed Claim + the 'Official' view, had shifted towards NOT advising Claimants to take the risk of Claiming C.I. unless they were 100% confident in their arguments.)

 

Like ALL things legal though, a recent Court Case involving Sempra Metals Ltd. has once again pushed the envelope back...

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/cases-library/106112-sempra-metals-irc-july.html

IMHO...This has re-opened the doors to C.I. being a worthwhile topic for Newbies to research further, before actually starting their Claims, if they so wish to.

 

 

btw...Best of Luck with your currently Stayed HBOS Claim Tractorgirl!...;)
