    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "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;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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 :)

 

This is my situation, i defaulted on a HSBC managed loan, when i went to Payplan to start a debt management plan 14 months ago.

 

I am, well i thought near the end of the process of reclaiming my bank charges from HSBC, i couldnt afford to go to court at the time, but in a fortnihgt i will be in a position to take them to court, dependning on the cost, as far as i know the court proceedings cost £100?

 

Right this is my problem, my timescale is:

 

I sent letter requesting statements 29 Jan

 

Sent first letter for refund 22 Feb

 

Sent LBA to PO Box in Leeds 19 March

 

The amount im reclaiming is £1418.50 plus interest it totals £1785.29, in all letters to HSBC, i have been asking for the full amount.

 

The word seems to be HSBC aim to sort all this within 8 weeks, i was looking for this with no being able to go to the court stage.

 

Anyway i sent the letter threatening court action on the 19 March, i hadnt heard anything until today, when i received this letter:

 

 

Dear Mr So and So,

 

 

Thank you for your letter dated 19 March 2007 requestions a refund of your bank charges of £1418.50 passed during the last 6 years.

 

The bank does not agree that our charges are in any way unfair or unenforceable. The contract between the bank and its customers is governed bu our Personal Banking Terns and Conditions. If you ask us to make a payment that would, if met by us, lead to your account going overdrawn, or over an agreed overdraft limit, the bank considers whether or not to make this payment and a fee is payable for this service.

 

Our fees and charges are stated in out published price list and the circumstances in which these charges will apply are set out in out terms and conditions.

 

While i accept that this letter will not provide the response that you hoped for, i trust that i have been able to clarify the banks position. However, should this not be the case, i enclose a copy of out leaflet which explains how these matters are dealt with and the attached guidance sheet explains the next steps to you.

 

Yours

 

Mark Loker.

 

Firstly there was no leafelt enclosed only this guidance sheet which read:

 

We Hope that you will be happy with the attached response and that this matter has now been addressed to your situation.

 

Alternatively, if you wish to escalate your concerns to the next stage, you can write to the senious manager of our service quality team, at the the following address, enclosing a copy of this letter:

 

The Senior Manager

Service Quality Team

HSBC Bank PLC

Arlington Business Park

Millshaw Park Lane

Leeds

 

IF we do not hear from you within the next eight weeks, we will consifer matters resolved.

 

Cases we cannot resolve can ultimately be referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service, further details of which can be found in out Listening to your comments leaflet.

Now im not overjoyed by this response, with the timescale i was expecting a better letter, but my problem is, it looks like the 8 wek limit has been reset for me and im far from happy with it, the standard letters dont really cover what i want to say to the Senior Manager and as im not very good with the legalities of the situation, id very much appreciate some help or information.

 

The letter im looking to send back, is a straight to the point, that this has been going on far too long, id like to complain to the financial onbudsman, can i complain? Also i will be starting court proceedings on 26th of this month to reclaim the full amount, plus interest plus court costs, the only way i wont is to receive a cheque for £1418.50 before 26th, now i realise ive got more chance of seeing snow today than receiving a cheque :D

 

So if someone can give me some tip on writing this letter or point me in the right direction, id very much appreciate it.

 

 

Thanks.

Why are you waiting until the 26th to file? If your LBA gave them 14 days to comply you should have file on 3rd April. Stick to your timescales and not theirs.

Sorry re-read your post. I wouldn't give them any more time. If you are using MCOL - register now and complete all the neccessary bits. You don't need to submit the button yet, just save it ready for the 26th.

No they won't know until they receive the stuff from the courts. Once you file online, the courts send the claim stuff to DG. You will get a "Notice of Issue" from the courts telling you when the claim is deemed served.

Yep. You fill in the box for amount claimed which will be total charges + 8% interest. The court fee will then be automatically calculated.

I have no idea personally. I submitted my claim 14.03.07 and DG have only just put in their defence. I am currently waiting to be transfered to my local court.

wednesday I am not clear as to why you are waiting to start the court action they have had plenty of time to stump up the money the only way you are going to get them to move is to go through the court process. You could be looking at 2 -3 months from when you file your court action to when you see your money.

Hiya Wednesday, there is no problem delaying your claim; the periods recommended here are reasonable periods for HSBC to respond to your complaints. Its your claim, if you take a little longer you are just giving them more time to respond before you involve the county court.

The cost of submitting your claim is on a sliding scale, the maximum for the type of claim we recommend here is £120, but if your claim falls into one of the lower bands it will be cheaper.

It depends on whether you need to do AQ. I think this costs a further £100.00, but you are a while off yet. Once MCOL done you will get "Notice of Issue". The bank then has to acknowledge your claim and you will get "Notice of Acknowledgement" This give the bank 28 days to defend.

Once you have done your MCOL do many copies of your spreadsheet as you will need to send them to the courts (at least 2 copies) and DG. Did you state in your MCOL that you will be claiming the daily rate of interest? Just make sure that your claim equals your spreadsheet calculations.
