    • Hi I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof? 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No    Have you had a response?  n/a 7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice'  
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.    
    • Evening all,   So today, I was sent an updated offer that includes the £12.60 I spent on letters, but they have declined to add the interest at £7.40. They have stating 'We acknowledge your request to claim interest to date, however, this would be at the discretion of a trial judge if the claim did proceed to a trial hearing.' I think I am content with this outcome, and pushing this to a trial for a total interest of £15.30 throughout the claim does not make sense to me.   What are people's thoughts? I am sure our courts have better things to concentrate on?

    • 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.

A slightly 'Carry On' title if ever there was......

 

Since the site is very much geared to reclaiming bank charges, I thought it might be a eye opener if we found out who had the largest.... total bank charges in any one month.

 

I don't know for sure, but guessed it might be easier for a company to run up larger charges than an individual, so if you post a reply, let us know if it is COMPANY or PERSONAL and of course the total.

 

I've already seen larger than mine (steady...) but since I'm posting first, I can at least take comfort from pretending to have once been in the lead!

 

Remember, there is no prize, so let's not exagerate for effect :-) Here goes....

 

PERSONAL - £252.00

Most I've personally been charged is only £28 so i guess i lose that one.

 

I once remember seeing about £2,000 in two months quite recently.

So about £1,000 a month then but i can't remember who she was (and wouldn't say even if i could recall it because of data protection regulations! ;))

(Yes I work for a bank but am here to help! Please be nice to me! :))

The lovely Lloyds did me for £315 in January which meant I couldn’t honour a number of direct debits And hay-presto another £210 in February which was really helpful of them! That’s £525 in two months of MY money unlawfully siphoned from my account.

No wonder they are dragging there heals with my DPA request.

A&L did me for £408 last December - although that's been successfully retrieved now, of course :D

£600.14 for month of March. Charged by lovely Lloyds TSB.

After sitting there in tears of frustration, because my whole disability allowance was swallowed by the bastards, I got my tits together and prepared another claim, which is due to be filed on 2nd of May.

Ive been charged a total of £2771.00 between about a year and a half from Natwest.

 

Ive sent them a letter before action. (incidently this was the 1st letter i sent but now realise i shouldnt have sent this one 1st, i think)

They have responded with a letter offering me £575.00 as a gesture and for me to agree that it would be final and that i wont give any detials to third parties.

 

I have declined this and the 14 days deadline is monday so going to have to start the court proceedings now!

Seems like I am on top (oooh aaah, matron) with my £600 a month. And it is only because last month's charges thrown my tight budget so much out of line that I could not manage all the dd's, o/draft limit went to screw itself...and so on.

 

aaanyway, at least I WILL GET IT BACK this time. Do you remember how hopeless we felt few months ago?

Why don't you claim for the years 2000 - 2003, then move on to the next half afterwards?

Please don't hijack the original post - it makes it far too difficult for people to follow any specific case. If karen69 needs advice, then she (I presume) should make a seperate thread.....

Hi

 

Sorry to see that things are so difficult. Obviously it's difficult to comment on your individual circumstances without some more information. However, I would seriously advise that you contact the National Debtline on 0808 808 4000 - they are totally independant, and I have always found that their advice is sound.

 

They are open on Saturday from 9.30am to 1pm - and the call is free.

 

Please remember that banks and Debt Collection Agencies are experts at putting pressure on people - whilst they have, in the reality, very limited powers. If you are on a low income it is very likely that you will be able to get them to accept reduced payments - but, as I say, it is difficult without knowing your circumstances.

 

We are all behind you.

Yes, I totally agree with Alan,

 

try to give the Debtline a call.

 

There is usually someone here (the forum) to chat to between 8am and midnight (there are also nightowls of you are having trouble sleeping).

Leave a message on this thread or send a private message to us and we will be happy to help you.

 

Please try to stay positive
