    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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 guys - just to update.

 

I received a rubbish fob off letter from Haliprats, stating the usual "charges are fair, la la po, etc, etc"!

 

So the expiry before I send my LBA is 7/7/07 which will commence round two. At least shAbbey had the "decency" to say that would need 4 weeks to look into it.

 

So I will update again in 7 days unless of course Haliprats decide to reconsider.

Just an update.

 

before I sent my Prelim letter to Haliprats, I sent them an SAR on 11/6/07 because I was missing three statements.

 

After much consideration, I decided against waiting for Haliprats to fulfill my SAR and decided to send my Prelim letter with charges based on the statements that I do have.

 

I received a letter today from them, dated 27/6/2007 with regards to my SAR. They are experiencing a high number of similar requests (can't thing why CAG members ;) ). They stated that it may take a little time to process my request but they aim to give me a response no later than 40 days from when they received my original request.

 

Countdown started from 13/6/07 (the day after receipt), so they have until 22/7/07 (which is a Sunday) to respond. LOL! I still need the info from my SAR as I made it for another Haliprats account that I will claim on once I receive all the info. Even when it all comes, I will wait as I currently have Halifax, Crap One and shAbbey on the go at the moment, so will need a breather once I have concluded these which is still a good 2-4 months away.

Thanks BigMac.

 

So you would advise me calling them after I have issued my LBA? I have read so many threads and everyone seems to have had different experiences.

 

I wasn't expecting to get a straight up rejection of my claim, as their first piece of correspondence. Most people got the "we are looking into your complaint" letter first. They just skipped to the "no the charges are fair and have been applied correctly" letter with me. :mad:

 

Well their LBA is due to be sent this Friday 6/7. If you think that I may have some luck calling them and trying to get them to settle before it goes to court, I will certainly give this a try. Which is the best number to ring?

Hi deedee speaking from experience i have found Halifax extremely easy to deal with.

When you send the LBA they will reply saying they are reopening your complaint and will get back in touch within at most 8 weeks.

Give the 14+2 days then call them saying you are about to raise court action and are phoning them to give one last chance to settle.

At this point they may say no but dont be too upset if this happens because they will reply to your lba usually with a lower offer. When this arrives it will have a name on it and this is the person you need to talk to. If you cant get them dont discuss with the person who picked the phone up as they are more than likely unable to adjust the offer, simply leave a message for them to call you back, if they dont call back you call them the next day and repeat the same steps. The other choice is to speed up the process by waiting 14+2 days then start legal action wait till it is deemed served allow a couple of days then calll them and they will more than likely willing to settle. Just remember they may try and offer reduced amounts but stay concentrated and sound confident in what you are saying and all should go well.

Thanks guys!

 

I will issue LBA on Saturday and wait 14 days (I thought it was 12 + 2 days?) and then call if I get a response in that time. :confused::o:p:D

I'm sending my LBA today. Do I send it to Trinity Road, which is where I sent my Prelim letter, or do I send it to Catherine Toner at "Customer Relations" in Leeds, who wrote me my IFOL (intial fob-off letter).

 

What d'ya think? :?

Thanks Tilly!

 

I am on a mission. LOL! I'm trying to get my s**t sorted out and I'm glad I have the support of you all to enable me to do so.

 

I think my finding of this site was extremely timely. :)

 

I'll print my LBA off now and get it ready to send first thing this morning.

As the 14 days draw closer, do I need to wait for a response from them before I try and negotiate or do I call the "Customer Relations" (I use the term loosely) people?

Hello everyone.

 

Halifax have failed to respond to my LBA. :mad: Therefore, I should be issuing my N1 on Monday.

 

Does anyone think it's worth me calling the Customer Relations department and trying to get them to settle before I start court proceedings, or should I just issue them anyway and call their litigation team once I get my Notice of Issue.

 

All comments and advice as usual is warmly appreciated.

You can always try a call, but the chances are slim of getting a settlement.

Just to update - I filed my N1 last Thursday 26/7. Ironically the same day that the news of the OFT test case was released. I was blissfully unaware at the time until I caught up with the news on the forum :p:confused:

 

I have today received a letter from Halifax regarding my SAR for two accounts I hold with them. One of the accounts is the one I have just filed the N1. I went ahead with this claim as I was missing three statements. The second one is for an account that I know I had lots of charges levied against but was not as meticulous at filing statements for.

 

I made my request on 11 June. They are well past the 40 days and the letter I received today, dated 27 July, states that alll the documents are ready and will be posted out to me shortly. On 27 June they wrote me and said that they would meet the 40 day deadline - yeah right!

 

Anyway that's my news on this thread for now.

No I haven't. I haven't for my Abbey claim yet either. Lambeth CC are really slow. I had an awful time on the phone last week see CapQuest CCJ and this slowness is causing me a major headache, especially for my Capquest case.

 

Their excuses aren't good at all. I was so busy at work yesterday, I was unable to make any personal phone calls. When I remembered it was past 4pm and the court office was closed. I will try today.

 

Now I've filed, is it worth starting to hassle Halifax to settle? I know there's an air of uncertainty with the OFT test case. I wonder if anyone has had their case settled, SINCE news of the test case was announced?

Hi Deedee,

There are several of us in same situation, If your claim is for unlawful charges OFT case has no bearing, as this is about un-authorised overdraft charges. Just keep plodding away. I think that some may have been settled and some of us are just days away. Check out my thread stonedecroze v Halifax2 (sorry not sure how to do linky thingy).

good luck with yours. goodluck.gif
