    • Are you saying that both businesses were closed? Yet you stayed there for over two hours. . If both were closed than to charge £100 is a penalty since Horizon had no legitimate interest in keeping spaces clear for the company. sake as there were no customers..
    • Well you would think that would be the case. Sadly i doubt there is one honest broker within the BPA or IPC and most of their members. they are there to take as much money as they can from motorists regardless of PoFA.   Take the Consideration  period for example. This is a minimum of 5 minutes to allow motorists to find a parking space, read the T&Cs giving them enough time to leave the car park without having to pay if they decide not stay. Simple. Well it would be simple if it were any other company than BPA [or IPC who have now fallen into line with BPA's "reasoning"].  You see if you decide to stay then despite the fact that during the Consideration period when you still weren't classed as parking , once you accept the terms [with all the underhand little tricks designed to trip you up] that five minutes is now included in your parking time. [No not the parking period because the poor dears who ANPR cameras are apparently unable to work out what the exact parking period is since their ever so infallible cameras [yeah right] are incapable of tracking cars once they are in a car park]. After 12 years they still haven't worked out a way of doing it. Some of them fudge and the majority [with a wink fro their ATA [Accredited Trade Association though it should be Discredited Trade Association] just ignore the parking period all together. This is what BPA claim is the Consideration period Entrance grace period: This is for when motorists enter a car park, read the signs and/or attempt to make payment then leave. In these instances, motorists must be offered a reasonable amount of time before an operator takes enforcement action, but we do not define this time, due to the variance in size and layout of car parks. An entrance grace period for a small, permit-only car park could be below 5 minutes, whereas for a large multi-story this could be 15. But  heaven forbid that anyone should leave 6 or 7 minutes after entering  their member's car parks. . They are dutybound to receive a PCN. This is regardless of how busy the car park would be [Christmas eve for example ] .Our minimum is their maximum. Moving on to Grace periods. Again BPA gobble degook. Exit grace period: This must be a minimum of 10 minutes and this is when a motorist intends to stay – for example, if you paid for an hour but spent a total of 1 hour 10 minutes on-site, you will not receive a PCN. It is important to note that the grace period is not a free period of parking however and should not be advertised as such. If that ten minutes in not free parking what is it. their members all think they can send out PCNs for anything after 1 minute after the exact time never mind ten minutes. Our snotty letters have stood the test of time. Do not try to reinvent the wheel -especially with DCBL . They don't even know what a non compliant PCN is for goodness sake! You already know more about PoFA then they do. However if you include that they will find a way to disabuse the Judge of your logic and the law. So don't give them the chance.  I am sure you have the Parking Prankster going on about the rogues misusing the rules on planning permission by lying and stating that they had "retrospective permission". There is no such thing in English law yet Judges were swallowing it until one Judge pulled up Parking Eye about one of their Witness Statements alluding to "rp" by claiming it was "tantamount to perjury".  It wasn't tantamount,it was plain and simple perjury.

    • 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.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Reference: xxxxxx

Your refs: xxxxxx

 

Please be aware that we do not acknowledge these debts to your company, and therefore require you to supply the following documentation before we will correspond further

 

Firstly, you must supply us with a true copy of the agreement you refer to in this matter. This is our right under the legislation contained within section 77 (1) and section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 - your obligation also extends to providing statements of account. I enclose a £1 postal order in payment of the statutory fee.

 

We also require that you supply signed true copies of the deeds of assignment of the above referenced agreements.

 

You are reminded that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, under section 189 of the CCA 1974.

 

We understand a copy of our credit agreement should be supplied within 12 working days.

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

Take note at this stage, that any legal action you may contemplate will be both vigorously defended and contested. In the meantime please be aware that we consider this matter to be “in dispute”.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours faithfully

Letter today from Thames.

 

Dated 12/04/07 and referenced correctly.

 

I quote the text letter for letter:-

 

Thank you for your letter of the 7 April 2007.

We have requested a copy of the original application form and statements from HFC Bank Limited.

We would ask you to be patient whilst we collate the documentation and enclose your £1.00 postal order, as we do not charge for this request.

Please be assured that we will contact you without further delay once we have the information.

Yours etc etc.

 

 

I phoned the number immediately informing them that the clock is ticking and that I will return the postal order for them to cash as part of my legal request to them.

 

A letter will now follow from me confirming what I stated above.

 

One question... does the clock start on the date on the letter sent by me or on their acknowledgement?

Hello v-bird!

...One question... does the clock start on the date on the letter sent by me or on their acknowledgement?
Actually...the clock starts on the day that they receive your initial CCA request.

If U have sent it Recorded Delivery, U will be able to check the exact date via www.royalmail.com.

If not (...and it is NOT advisable to rely on this method), it is correct to assume that it was received TWO days after U have posted it.

 

 

 

Hope the above has clarified things for U?!...:)

26th April dispatched and 'no show'... the entire lie is at present unenforceable.

 

So the next hurdle is the 26th of May whereupon I submit a form to remove the entire lie completely.

[6] There has been no further correspondance from Thames Credit and as of the 26th May 2007 Thames Credit has been in the position of demanding money with no legal basis to do so, this is in common parlance is fraud.

[7] Having allowed Thames Credit a further 2weeks since the 26th May 2007 in order to allow you time to either [a] find this 'agreement' or remove my name from the Credit reference Agencies I discover today that to date Thames Credit has done neither.

[8] I HEREBY SERVE NOTICE ON THAMES CREDIT LIMITED AND ITS PARENT OR ASSOCIATED COMPANIES THAT IF BY 21ST JUNE 2007 THEY [sINGULARLY OR SEVERALLY] HAVE NOT COMMENCED THE REMOVAL OF MY NAME FROM THE REGISTERS OF THE MAIN CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCIES WILL RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FSA, THE FINANCIAL OMBUDSMAN.
