    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Well we are all behind you laddie. I have started against IF myself :)

 

Reading other threads, I feel they wil not offer you the 100% until you actually file your claim with the courts. Unfortunate, but its how IF (and other banks and CC companies) operate. They are hoping people will "chicken out" and not go through with filing their claim.

Hi Laddie,

 

Hope that you do get something before having to file with the court. Our LBA is up on Thursday, and our rejection letter about the same time. Have spoken with IF, was a nice guy that we spoke with, they have acknowledged (via telephone) that they have the rejection letter, we have told them that we will not settle for less than the whole amount, and they said they will look into it and get back to us, so we have decided to allow a few extra days and will not file with the courts until towards the end of next week, but we will of course phone again in the meantime......................... will explain that if they are willing to settle we will not go to court and therefore would not claim court fees or our interest.:D

Hi All,

 

Spoke to IF yesterday, they have told me that 'the matter' is being dealt with but would or could not tell me how.

 

Praying for a settlement......

 

One thing i have noticed recently when speaking to IF, is how much friendlier the staff seem to be! Anyone else noticed?

Hi Folks,

 

Just had the best conversation with IF ever, they have sent out a resolution letter offering a full refund. Yipeeeeeeeeeee:D

 

Can i just thank everyone who has helped.... and offer a little bit of advice to anyone who is thinking about reclaiming their charges -

 

Please do it, i like everyone else was sceptical, nervous and worried but i have read and read until my head hurt. Followed the very simple advice on here and have just managed to claim nearly £3k back for the sake of 3 or 4 letters and a couple of telephone calls.

 

Please can a moderator move me to the won section, a donation will follow as soon as the cash hits the account.

 

Thanks

 

John

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi All,

 

Just a quick update, i may have won but trying to get the money out of IF is something else.

 

They received my acceptance letter nearly 2 weeks ago but still no funds.

I called them first thing yesterday morning and was promised it would be in within 2 hours, they would even give me a call on my mobile just to let me know. I phoned back after 3 hours and was told that the lady who signs the refunds off was very busy and very very important and she had lots of meetings to go to and the funds would definately be in by 5 oclock.

 

I called back on the offchance at 4.45 and was told by someone else that it would not be today and there was no way that they could guarantee the funds being in the account by the end of the week. I was told that because it was such a large amount it had to go to authorisation from a higher level! I asked to speak to the person at the bottom of the letter offering the full refund (who had already authorised the payment!) and was told that this was impossible as they were too important to speak!!!

 

I am going to call back again this morning to see what sort a response i get today.....

 

Banks! don't you just love 'em

Hi John

 

I have been watching your thread with interest and well done!

 

I now have my list of charges from IF but have got myself in a right twist on what I need to do next.

 

I think I understand that I now use the next letter, add up my charges etc. Did you add interest? Do I need to send a sheet detailing my charges? Did you use templates from this site?

 

Sorry for all these questions, it is just I dont know what I am doing!!!!

 

:?

 

Thanks

Hi Moon,

 

Don't panic!!!

 

Add all of the charges up using the spreadsheet on this site. (I did not claim for any interest but was going to claim the 8% if it got to the court stage which thankfully it never!)

 

Write the Prelim Letter as per the template, i sent mine to the head office in Halifax. Within the 14 days you should recieve a letter saying that they are investigating your complaint etc.

 

You will then send your Letter before action and if it goes like it has been, you will recieve an offer for 50% as a good will gesture... do not accept this because within a few days of them getting your refusal letter, they will offer you the full amount.

 

(You will then have to wait an undisclosed amount of time for your money - this is where i am at the moment!)

 

If you have any problems, you can PM me or start your own thread, we will all help you in any way that we can.
