    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

Just wondering whether it matters that my schedule of charges doesn't have an explanantion of the charge on. I was unable to use the CAG spreadsheet (could only happen to me and my mistake not CAGs) and so I used a different one.

 

Reason I ask is that I have been browsing the AQ information and it mentions 'explanation of charge' (if any). Will it be enough that I will have my statements showing the reason for the charge?

Hi there anybodyI put a post on Sunday night and just wondered if anybody else had had the same trouble as me with the spreadsheet. I was reading about the AQ and I just wondered if anybody had done their schedules of charges without an explananation of what the charge was for.Thank you.A.

I've been looking at the Excel spreadsheet again, determined to get it right, however the spreadsheet isn't calculating the 8% interest for me. Do I have to work it out or is the spreadsheet supposed to work it out for me?Any help much appreciated. Thank you.

yes but if you have deleted the example charges, you may have deleted some formula too. Best start with a new s/s

 

See here for a visual guide:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bcard-woolwich-successes/7226-maisielou-barclays.html#post50088

 

When entering your charges, don’t delete anything first. Just overwrite the existing examples: type of charge, amount and date.

 

The ‘Days Since’ and ‘8% Interest’ columns will be calculated automatically

 

Save it and print out as your schedule of charges

Thanks Michael. It's working now.Just a couple of questions. It won't matter if I have a different schedule of charges for my anticipated court bundle, will it (long way off, I know), as the schedule I have been sending the bank has been from the Money Saving Expert site which doesn't show an explanation of the charges. AndIs a cleared transaction when the Bank pays a debit from your account when the account is overdrawn?Regarding the fuller POC you linked me to on Sunday. On the N1, where it says POC (attached) (to follow). Can I just write in 'please find attached' in that space and then attach the fuller POC to my N1?Many thanks. A.

Hello there

 

Just wanted to ask what people had put down for the name of their charges in the spreadsheet, if they don't mind.

 

If I were to put in daily charge for the £8, do I just put in monthly O/D charge for the £25.

 

I just wanted to check first please.

 

Thanks for any help. :) A.

;) Greetings and Welcome masontek:

I had plodded along since on my own since Jan07 up to the letter of refusal from the YB, when I was referred to the CAG site, well you can imagine what I felt like after reading continuos threads and info for 2 whole days regarding the YB and others, I have now today received a Court date for Aug 21 st @2pm , I am claiming an amount of £3,699 and of course the odd pennies [look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves , LOL LOL LOL ], I have also completed and submitted 2 more claims for my sons at the same time and have taken over all litigation in these matters with the full authorisation of the account holders, I only found out about it being illegal for the banks to levvy any monies from your benefits through the info on ere so did not include this on my N1 Form, but am saving this as an "ACE" up my sleeve, but after finding this out, have now contacted my new bank that I started with in March 2006 after an argument with the YB, where I was amazed to find that in 1yr they have also charged me £968 just for "Unauthorised overdrtafts " but which have ALL been levied from my benefits. So remember this "better in your pocket than left in theirs" claim what is rightfully yours, and feel free to contact me for any info, regarding although I can only point you in the direction as to where you will get the right info. will follow your thread.;) ;)

Hello junkimunki and thanks.

 

I feel like I'm doing my claim at rather a sluggish rate but I've been getting loads of help as you've probably seen from my thread. I do ask a lot of questions but this is the only way to get it right, and it is a scary process!! I tend to get paranoid and think that I'm doing it wrong, that's my problem.

 

May I ask you what titles you put down on your spreadsheet for your charges? Did you just make your own up. Simple question, I know!

 

Thanks and good luck for August. I'll follow your thread too. A.:)

Hello Michael

 

Thanks for your reply, I was just getting paranoid.

 

When I have been overdrawn and I have been charged £8, I was just going to put that in my sheet as the daily o/d charge.

 

On the 19th/20th of every month when I've been charged £25 for actually being overdrawn in that same month, I was going to put monthly o/d charge.

 

Am I making sense???

 

Additonally, I wondered if I may PM you?

 

Thanks

Thats fine. This is how YB usually describe their charges:

Yorkshire Bank

Card Misuse

Charges (Monthly Charge, On Top Of Other Charges!)

Daily OD Charge

Unpaid Cheque

Unpaid D/D

Unpaid S/O

 

Additonally, I wondered if I may PM you?

Fine

I'm just not thinking clearly about things.

 

I will possibly PM you tomorrow if that's ok? Could do with your expert advice on 1 other thing that I think I've also done wrong!!! Not sure if I'm going a bit out of my depth with all this.

 

Thanks

HelloI've been wondering about Terms and Conditions. I see that people have found them difficult to get hold of. I've just written to my branch to request them but I'm not expecting anything.If I need them once I've filed my N1, is there anybody who can point me in the right direction. If I need them for the years I opened my accounts, then the years are 1997 and 2002.Also, if Michael sees this, could I PM you again if I need to? Don't like to just PM you without asking.Thanks.A.

Thanks Georgieboy

 

I just worry too much. However I am getting lots of excellent advice too.

 

Good luck.:)

Be positive. Yorkshire bank are [edited]. I would go so far as to say that they are worse than Barclays!!!! If that's possible!!! Be prepared for anything and keep your eye on the ball. I have threatened them with the bailiffs as judgement went in my favour through their incompetence. They threatened me with a set aside, counter claim and everything. Guess what? I got my cheque for my friend through the post this morning for £3807.47!!! Keep smiling and you will get there!!!:)

If you think I have been any help at all, click my scales, go on.... You know you want to! :lol:

Hi Michael

 

I'm sure there will be something I may need to ask you soon, but for the moment I am making sure everything is spot on with the fuller POC that you kindly directed me to and my completed spreadsheets. I just need to get them to court now!!

 

Thank you.

Hello

 

I've just completed my N1 and I was looking at the bottom of my POC:-

 

DETAILS OF JUDGEMENT SOUGHT BY CLAIMANT:

 

d. Interest pursuant to s.69 County Courts Act. Interest, in that case, up until xx/xx/xx amounts to £xxxx, as detailed in Schedule, attached hereto. Interest per day thereafter, or part thereof, is £00.xxp.

 

In the value part of the N1 this is slightly different.

 

It says:-

at £00.xx per day OR at such rate and for such periods as the court deems just.

 

Should I alter my POC so that it sounds the same as the value part in the N1?

 

Thanks

 

A.
