    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

My first post and shame on me for taking so long to do so...

 

I've been in touch with BOS re my statements (which i thought had all been included and sent..) and i got my letter sent off detailing all my charges and dates etc for both accounts with them

 

I got a reply re the charges, but also another few pages of statements I never had before. Can I re submit my letter asking for my now updated charges from the new statements??

 

The letter i received re my first letter asking for charges back seems like a standard response....

 

We are sorry to learn that you are unhappy with the charges debited to your bank account. Please note that the complaint handling rules set by our regulator, the FSA, gives us 8 weeks to investigate and respond to complaints...

 

blah blah.. if we are unable to respond fully to your concerns we will write within the next 4 weeks to update you...

 

more blah blah.. please find enclosed a copy of our leaflet which tells you how we will handle your complaint...

 

Yours Mathew Baxendale (Customer Relations Officer - Dunfermiline)

 

Is this them stalling for time? If I do respond with a new letter detailing my charges with all the new ones (including interest this time i think), will i just receive the same letter? And do I have to wait out the 8 weeks, or can i got right in with an LBA? One other thing.. Should i always be using the Customer Relations Dept in Dunfermline??

 

Thanks in advance...

Hiya Brian,

 

Welcome to cag. :)

 

First of all, yes those letters were just standard, just ignore them.

 

Dont include the interest on your spread sheet just yet, that can only be added at the court stage.

 

You can keep on adding any more charges you recieve until you file at court.

 

The address to use is...

 

HALIFAX PLC

TRINITY ROAD

HALIFAX

WEST YORKSHIRE

HX1 2RG

 

If you any worries just shout, there are plenty of people around who can help.

Hey folks,

 

Cheers for the reply, and reassuring me that i can amend and update my list of charges due to new statements being issued. New list and letter have been done. Just to send.

 

One thing i would like to clear up though... I sent my previous letters to the B.O.S Customer Relations place in Dunfermline. Will it be ok if i now change to sending them to the Halifax address you mention?? Does it matter that I stay in Glasgow? I;m thinking that i'd have to deal with an address north of the border... :confused:.

 

Cheers again for the help.

 

Brian

Hi Folks,

 

Well thanks to all the advice and info on this site I'm as far as being made an offer of £680 (made up ofcharges from two accounts).

 

I sent an LBA the day before receiving this letter, as it had taken them so long to get back to me re my initial claim for refund of charges.

 

In the letter Christina Hart (no relation to Jennifer and Johnathon Hart for those of you who may remember that...) states that the money will be debited to my account in 14 days if i don't get in touch to say otherwise. Suggesting i call her on the number provided ( on this.. why is it a Dunfermline Address to reply to but a west yorkshire phone number).

 

Just need clarification on what to os appropriate to do know.. Do i call this number and talk to her, where I can get twisted round to the 'Corporate' way the bank want me to think and get me embroiled in a conversation I don't want to have, or do i just write? Or do i call and write..

 

Will my LBA still stand and will they ignor the offer made prior or do i still have to clarify that i don't wish to accept the £680??

 

Anyway.. Here's hoping I get my 1400 quid ond not the offer made of 680 and i hope that the bank person employed to log onto this site to snoop about (if there is such a person - call me cynical..) sees this and nidges them in my favour..

 

Cheers & Thanks.

 

Johnathon Tarquin Hart (no relation to.. oh you get the idea..lol)..

I would just send the rejection letter. See http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html and modify as appropriate saying the LBA has already been sent to them, maybe even enclosing a copy and saying when the 14 days is up.

 

Good Luck

Hi Brian.

 

I advise you to stick to letters, keeping copies of all letters sent and received. Then if there is any dispute, you have it in black and white.

 

Send a letter of refusal........

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/25716-rejecting-offers.html

 

Just select the letter option that best matches your situation.

Don't worry about your LBA......an unsatisfactory response is NO response.

Stick to your own timetable, don't let them intimidate you into following theirs.

 

Good luck.

Regards, Rooster.

Also respond to the offer as late as possible, when your time limit in your LBA is up

 

If they pay it into your account that is not an acceptance. Make sure when rejecting their offer you ask them to remove the paymenf unless they are prepared to consider it as part payment

Do send the rejection letter but also call them. Halifax policy is to settle before it goes to court so they will negotiate.

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.
