    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

hi all ,

 

Having read Bankfodders post that although lots of people are getting their money back with the help of this site,not many are giving anything back, COME ON GUYS this site deserves much better ,i havent got my money yet but i want to donate, If EVERY member were to put a just a £5.00 cheque or postal order in the post think what an amazing difference this could make! think about it ,the more money goes into the site the better and more effective it will become,your donating towards your own future,AND THEN when you get your money back REMEMBER who helped you! and donate again.

 

THE BANKS HAVE PLENTY OF OUR MONEY TO POTENTIALLY DEFEND OUR CLAIMS, I BET THEY ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YOUR MONEY ON LEGAL TEAMS TRYING TO FIND WAYS OF GETTING OUT OF PAYING YOU BACK, THEY HAVE THEIR BIG GUNS BEHIND THEM

 

WE SEEM TO BE GOING INTO BATTLE WITHOUT ANY GUNS AT ALL!

 

My idea is that everyone who Can afford it should donate a token ,and as recognition gets the right to display a small medal on their profile,every donation gets another medal, its just my idea if you have a better one lets hear it,

 

Dave and Bankfodder have given so much to us all its now time to show our respect and support them,like they have supported and guided us.

 

DIG DEEP

All donations are very gratefully received, but it is certainly not a requirement of using this site.

 

Donations should be completely voluntary and given according to the individual user's decision (or conscience).

 

To make donations a requirement would, in effect, make the CAG a commercial enterprise and we do not charge users for use of this site, or the information on it.

 

Having said that, when you are counting your repaid charges, just remember who helped you get them back.:-D

Mindzai had an idea taken from another forum he is a member of (non bank charges related). He said that they have a progress bar at the top of the page showing the total amount of money they need for that month and the progress to show how close they are to meeting their running costs each month. He actually thinks this encourages people (on this particular forum) to donate as they can actually see the difference their donation would make and he also said that people tend to donate more regularly too because they can see that their money is needed.

 

Maybe something like this would be worth a try as it would be more of a visual aid that would stand out.

 

That's my (well Mindzai's ;)) idea anyway.

 

Lucid :)

Mindzai & Lucid vs Lloyds TSB

*Won unconditionally with contractual interest (29.85% compounded)

Lucid's Account - £749.62 * Joint Account - £2019.64 * Mindzai's Account - £595.65

*All settled in full - 6/2/07

*Hearings - 7/2/07

*Prelims sent - 9/8/06

Yes, i've seen this on some forums. It's a good idea.

 

Maybe also having a 'donators roll of honour' sticky thread every month like they do on the other bank forum.

Hi all when I was browsing through the site I noticed on the main page (I think) that there was not much donated compared to the amount of wins this had bothered me as I know a lot of people would not have won if it had not been for this site and all who help on it and although I was gutted for kev losing his claim all the people following this jumped in with donations to help him (great) but the site needs money too, to help all those who need it. Once again thank you all that give up your time to keep the site running to help all of us that probably would not have even thought about reclaiming.

 

Thank You All xxxx

I totaly agree

without the help and template letters I would not have been

confident to reclaim my charges from the BOS and I personally, would feel

embarrassed to continue asking for advice in other claims without donating to keep this site going...GC

 

ps

if I win the biggy, large donation on the way so fingers crossed

everything crossed for you GC as you can see when I joined it took me from then till now before I done anything and that was just to phone the F.O.S for my 2 sons and because of this site I am determined to carry on its not for a lot of money but I will be sure to donate no matter what the outcome. (thats as soon as I have saved a few pounds on benefits) not that it matters. R.M.
