    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

i have read them, several times and yes of course I understand that it could end up in court which is why I have requested some help.

I only know the last 3 years of charges so I am aware that I need to send a DPA letter but where to??

Hi and Welcome to the Forum!

 

You need to bee 100% clear before setting out on your journey to claiming charges back.

 

You need to do the DPA request 1st, then when you know ALL your charges, get the prelim sent...There is only 1 prelim that is appropriate to your case, depending on whether it is a Account or Credit card ect...

 

You may want to PM me later in your claim to change the thread title, so you dont start a new thread everytime you post, and can keep a "diary" of events on here!

 

Good Luck

Is done, its posted.

Hope I did everything ok.

 

Hopefully this will open the door to the return of my £800 that they stole from me when I first opened my account 5 years ago but got fobbed-off and bamboozled by the jargon!!!! but I know they did for sure !

Decided to skip the DPA even though I posted today beacuse...... I went back 3 years of accounts online and totalled all charges and FORTUNATELY,,,,,,I have the years previously all stored in order in an old file !! Been through them and have all that I need ( I hope ) so i thought I'd go onto step 2. do you think this is a good idea or should I wait??:confused:

I traced my account back 3 years online and I (for some reason) have my bank statements from 5 years ago so although i sent DPA off I have all that I need to send the preliminary request letter.

Is it ok to hand it in at my local branch or should it be sent somewhere else?

The anticipation is crippling me !

(total is £1987.05)

You can take it in to your local branch or send it to their Head Office or Customer Services Department - either way it will get passed on to the right people.

 

Good luck!

I think that you should go and spend the next 14 days reading your welcome e-mail and then following its instructions which include to read the FAQ and spend at least three days reading the forum material.

This will help to give you a certain confidence which I have to say that at the moment you seem to lack.

This is a serious matter and you should be properly prepared. If you are not many will be quite easy for the bank to knock you off your feet

to be honest I think you are probably right in stating that I lack confidence which I why I am asking for advice (I thought that was part of what this forum was all about!) But I'm not a total imbecile and I certainly don't need 14 days to read an email. thanks for your help.

Hi Honeybee,

I think people are scratching their head a bit over the 'Do I just pick one and send it' comment - as you've been pointed to and worked through yourself, there is a set timeline and proceedure to follow when sending the letters.

 

That said, you don't HAVE to send a DPA letter. I did exactly myself what you are doing now, and got my penalty charge total from Lloyd's Online - I then sent a Preliminary Request for Repayment, followed by a Letter Before Action when Lloyd's responded - followed by the Moneyclaim 14 days later.

 

Good luck with your claim, and keep us informed!

reload vs Lloyds - £2703.11 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload vs Lloyds Round 2 - Prelim sent 27/03/07. £435 owed.

reload vs Capital One - £456.57 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload's mum vs Barclays - £745 owed. £375 partial settlement reached 17/10/06.

  • 2 weeks later...

I sent my preliminary letter on 06/06/06 and today got my response which is a standard lloyds reply.

Just wondering, before I send my LBA if lloyds are still paying out to their customers as there are such a lot of people requesting refunds that maybe they might have come up with a loophole or even starting to fight back?

If I posted my LBA on monday, what should NORMALLY happen next and should I be concerned about any changes that may have been made during the last 2 weeks?

Also confused about a line in their reply which states that they limit charges to 3 per month which doesn't make sense as I had a charge of £210 last July:confused:

 

(unless they decided to up the charge to £70 each for their holiday money :p)

 

MOD NOTE: Threads merged - please stick to the one thread honeybee... and see bankfodders post above about confidence etc!! And other posts re: sticking to the process - which is well proven and worked...

Hi Honeybee,

 

No real news on any changes on the part of the banks. Some of them have started closing accounts of the people who take them to court, but they have found no loopholes to squirm through.

 

As for your next course of action, the timeline you should be following is:

 

1) Send your DPA (If necessary, not in your case as you have all the charges already).

 

2) One you have the charges, send the Preliminary Approach for Repayment letter.

 

3) 14 days later (Unless the bank pay up!) send the Letter Before Action.

 

4) 14 days after that (Again, unless the bank pay up!) file your claim with Moneyclaim Online (http://www.moneyclaim.gov.uk) or in your local county court.

 

By standard, you will recieve a 'bog off' letter from Lloyds saying it's their final decision. You are then advised to wait until the 14 days has lapsed from the point of sending the letter, then file your claim.

reload vs Lloyds - £2703.11 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload vs Lloyds Round 2 - Prelim sent 27/03/07. £435 owed.

reload vs Capital One - £456.57 Settlement Reached 14/07/06.

reload's mum vs Barclays - £745 owed. £375 partial settlement reached 17/10/06.

thank you reload:)

I'm ready to send my letter before action now.

 

I feel a bit scared by it, mainly because I have such rotten luck typically that it'll be just my luck that they manage to squirm through a loophole just when I've posted the letter. I bet they do and I'll have to end up paying court charges etc.....

I've opened another bank account just to be safe and started moving direct debits across. I know they'll close my account which is fine by me anyway, even though I know its unlawful for them to do this. Better to be safe.

Walking to the post box at the end of the street right now, here goes :-D

Don't be nervous if you look at my thread on reclaiming my charges you will see just how much they are avoiding court .:D ( can't add the link at present ,sorry )

:p hi,

I've read a few threads where people have said they have sent their prelims and LBA's via email.

Just curious to know if the responses have been the same as those sent via snail mail and also those who sent email did they also send through the post?

 

waiting for a response from my LBA and have to say kerr-apping it. :p
