    • Hello dx100uk, After months of waiting for a response I finally got a reply and I must say it was the worst 4 months of my life the - fear of the unknown. So, they wrote back and said I was in the wrong BUT on this occasion they  would not take action but keep me on file for the next 12 months. It. was the biggest relief of my life a massive weight lifted -  I would like to thank you and the team for all your support
    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • 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

Am well p****d off! Took my letters of non-compliance to the court as discussed with the court clerk yesterday. A different clerk has said that they couldn't accept my letter as the Draft Order for Directions isn't enforcable due to no court stamp. She also inferred that I had typed them up myself! I insisted that they came with my allocation hearing paper. She went and asked the clerk who had typed up my claim and then said that no way would papers have been sent out to me without a court stamp and therefore there is nothing I can do except turn up next week.

Any advice to the above please?

Hi bbch

 

I'm not suprised that you feel furious!

 

If it were me I'd be typing out a complaint to the Court Manager and taking it down this afternoon along with the Directions and letter of non-compliance. I would ask to speak to the court manager and if (which is likely) they were too busy to bother with a little ol complainant, I would advise that I was lodging an official complaint and ask whether the staff member in attendance was prepared to re-address the matter of yesterday.

 

If the court issued the Directions, then they would have a copy of it on file unless someone has bu**ared up the PC file (which has been known).

 

See if you can elicit the name of the staff member with whom you dealt yesterday - if you can, add it in a handwritten note to bottom of your complaint letter and hand it in. Ask for a receipt for the letter as it is evident that there are serious internal administration errors being committed!

 

In your letter make sure you explain what you sort, include a copy of the Directions and your non-compliance letter and instruct that you require this matter to be resolved as a matter of urgency and expect a written confirmation of such within no more than 5 working days.

Hi all, especially PaulClarkson!

 

Sorry Paul, in no way meant you - although it did make me laugh when I saw what I'd written (without explanation!)

 

I did mean The Mighty Paul Quinn3 though, and not yourself!

 

Dar£n was correct, in that I meant all LitTeam stars should be removed, like the MacDonalds employee that spits on your burger, their stars should be ripped off their name badges and thrown in the chip fryer in shame!

Sorry for the confuddlement!

Littlebea- really sorry to hear of the stay that was oredered despite what I am sure was your best attempt at opposing the order as a flagrant breach of your rights (human rights to a fair trial (6.1) and CPS sec 1.3 -both parties being oliged to assist the court witht the overriding objective- a fair and speedy resolution in the courts).

 

that said, and with my hearing due in a few hours, i will fight the good fight and oppose vehemently (I have my speech ready a la Tom Cruise in 'a few good men') and order to stay. I am hoping the directions in my case, in ordering on 11th July that any party requesting a set aside or stay MUST make this application in writing to the court at least 7 days before the hearing. I will be arguing that court directions supercede an agreement made outside the courts juridiction unless a ruling be made in ahigher court that that should be so. To my knowledge no ruling has yet been made- if anyone has an update or can put me right I would be grateful.

 

in the mean time I will do battle with the evil doers that are barclays bank plc (they dont deserve capital letters at this juncture) in the name of fairness, justice, you guys - and last but by no means least, for my financial situ!!

 

Heads up guys and girls, remember a stay is an Order of the court, but not a final one, our cases will not have been finally decided by such an Order and we have metaphorically been left with one paddle and a whole in the bottom of the boat, the paddle we can steer by and the whole easily plugged by determination and belief that one day we shall all reach the white sandy beaches of paradise island whilst our sums continue to accrue a healthy 8%.

 

Keep on keepin' on!!

... and as for poor Quinny he is but a cog in the wheel of a disease ridden organisation, alas one equipped with the financial clout that can only delay what will hopefully be a blanket 'go' on refunding charges rather than a blanket 'stay' on current cases. This WILL catch up with them despite the Corporate Clone Quinny and his entourages best attempts to resist. Remember this thread when the case is found in our favour!!!!!!!!!

At the very very least, what ever the outcome Barclays, AND all banks's reputation have been seriously slammed to the ground,

 

but saying that, we are still stuck in voicing our disgust by moving to another bank cos theyre all the same.

 

I say Cmon Branson open a proper bank for consumers....NOT partnership with HSBC,,or any of the others

 

Could you imagine it, The Branson Bank. I think he would take the lead in High st finances very quickly indeed.

Cheeky!!! That's what I think of Barclays Litigation team!!!

 

I have a 'Breach of The Data Protection Act' case ongoing & I e-mailed Sharon Daboul (who was dealing with my case) advising that I would withdraw my proceedings if Barclays refunded my court costs (£30). That's all am claiming on this case (I have a bank charges one as well, but we all know the situation there).

I received a e-mail back which was not meant for me but for another member of Barclays staff!! I e-mailed Sharon back saying, "I assume that e-mail was not for me and also that I would like to add £20 for postage costs".

I received an e-mail back from Rosmary Treves Brown saying that she will refund my court costs of £30 to my Barclays account within 48hrs if I send a letter to Barclays advising that I have withdrawn my case with the court.

I e-mailed her back saying that I will accept £50 into a bank account of my choice by Friday & she has got back to me with an e-mail which I assume is an attempt to scare me.

It says that " I just point out that you have chosen to issue proceedings against the bank which you are keen to withdraw. The usual rule on a claimant withdrawing proceedings which they has begun is that you pay our costs, which would include my time, and the paralegal's time in preparing a defence to your claim, logging it and discussing it with me. This amounts to several hundred pounds. Instead, we, the defendant to this wholly unwarranted matter, are agreeing to pay your court fee in relation to the claim you brought against us which you now wish to abandon.

You are now seeking another £20 in postage costs'

She then again offered me £30 into my Barclays account within 48 hours of me informing the court I have withdrawn proceedings.

 

I have e- mailed her back advising that I must correct her in the statement that I am 'keen to withdraw my proeedings', I contacted them to save my time & money & theirs.

I also said that I don't believe I am being unreasonable by asking for £20 postage as this does not reflect my true costs. This has been going on since March so all letters have gone 1st class recorded, at least 60p, my time, petrol, printer ink etc . . . I also pointed out that I will also be claiming for my loss of pay for attending court because I am more than willing to go ahead so £20 is definately not unreasonable.

I reiterated that I want it to go to an account of my choice because i no longer hold a Barclays account.

I await her reply.

The problem is that we can't live without a bank any more.

 

If you don't use a bank, you get extra charges from bills for not using direct debit, or paying by cash. When was the last time you had your wages in cash! Imagine paying your mortgage monthly by cash over the counter!!!

 

The banks have built a money monopoly over us all - we need their plastic to live our lives. Until something comes along that works co-opertaively to hold our money then we are all stuck!

 

And as for earning interest - is the £10 a year you get worth all the hassle of having a bank? Honestly, no, I'd rather lose that tenner and have an account that helps me...but then we all dream! lol

Hi , glad you got your 50 quid, cheeky's too nice an expression for them!

 

I will be sending a polite letter to Mr Quinn today requesting he may wish to reconsider his 'slammed door' approach to my (&others) claim as my hearing was adjourned and relisted following his order refusing their application to stay.

Will let all know how I got on.

I have just received a nice letter from Barclays with a printed brochure entitled 'Unauthorised Overdraft Charges Court Action' In the letter it says that 'We believe the charges are legal, fair and transparent' It also says that if I take court action they will definately be granted a 'Stay' It is enough to put you off taking any action :confused: plus they printed their brochure quickly!

Lastlaugh, it isn't true! They won't DEFINITELY be granted a stay. I lost my argument against a stay in court yesterday but the judge was prepared to listen and actually stated that there had been no such directions in this court. If you have a hearing date go and oppose it. It really seems to annoy them!

Good luck,

John.
