    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

    • 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.

Don't worry Adam, standard cobblers from cobbetts. They like to do this to claimants who file with MCOL - basically as there isn't really enough room to input information as thoroughly as the N1 hard copy claim form. Have a good look at the letter in this thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/35672-cobbetts-cpr-18-request.html and follow Martin's advice. Send cobbetts the letter along with a copy of your schedule of charges. If you don't have a schedule of charges, you'll need to compile yourself one from one of these spreadsheets here Download the correct one for your PC (use one of the simple versions if you're only claiming the s69 8% interest) and enter each charge into the spreadsheet (it automatically works out the interest for you). Send your local county court a copy of this letter here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/55874-letter-court-re-cpr18.html as soon as your claim has been transferred to them. Try not to worry too much though - if you have a read through some threads on this forum you'll find that cobbetts send out the same defence on a regular basis. Poor dears only have 3 or 4 templates to use on us - bless! ;)

Hi all is this letter ok to send off to Cobbetts in response to their defence???? also I have done the spredsheet for the charges using the template on here, I will send that but it has a higher amount by £15 because of the interest, I will send off the one I originally sent to Natwest as well

Dear Sir

Claim No: ********

 

I Acknowledge the receipt of the defence posted on behalf of National Westminster Bank plc.

I am not prepared at this stage to answer the CPR Part 18 Request. I anticipate that the claim will be allocated to the small claims track and would not then expect to have to deal with a Part 18 request since these are specifically excluded under Part 27 unless the court specifically orders me to do so of its own initiative

Furthermore I consider that the CPR part 18 request is intimidatory and I intend to bring the intimidation to the notice of the court. However, for clarity, I confirm the charges I am claiming were applied to the following account:

Account Name: MR A MILLER

Account number: ********

Sort Code: ******

 

Please also find enclosed a breakdown of all charges I am claiming, one is the bank Charges interest calculator originally sent to NatWest and the other is Schedule of claim for charges.

 

 

Yours Faithfully

I'V got another question I don't know if it is one that may sound a bit silly but here goes anyway

 

on the statements where it says, charge, paid referral or referral charge for June (or any other month) £25.00 I can reclaim that???

 

Also there are charges that only say for example,

30MAY A/C ******** £25 I can recalim them to????? for those I have put them as CLEARED TRANSACTION on the spreadsheet is that right???

 

Some of these charges go really quite high

Paid referral/referral fees (£25) can be reclaimed - I think they charge you a maximum of three per month on these. I don't know about cleared transaction - if it's £25 it sounds like the referral charge. Check the sticky on charges to confirm.

I have checked the sticky it does not say anything about that CLEARD TRANSACTION, I don't actually know if it is called that but, the statements do not give it a name it just says charge and some go as high as £37.

 

Thanks

So does it say charge - or charge for cleared transaction? And have you got an Advantage Gold account?

I do have an advantage gold account

 

on the statement it says

 

for example: charges 28JUNE A/C ******** £37

 

that is literaly what it says.... what do you reckon

Share on other sites

It's the 'unarranged borrowing fee' - there's an explanation of it in the nat west sticky thread on charges. You can reclaim this, but because you have an advantage gold account you should have deducted the AG fee from this and just reclaimed the charge. Don't worry if you didn't do this - cobbetts will go over your schedule/statements with a fine tooth comb anyway, and they'll just deduct the AG fee from your overall claim.

Hi

 

This morning I recieved my notice of transfer of proceedings from the court.

 

They have transfered my case to the Norwich County court, which is obvious as that is the area I live. On the second page it says:

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT -

1. The filling of an allocation questionnaire be dispensed with in this case unless the District Judge at the court of transfer orders otherwise.

 

Right this means that I don't have to do the AQ right as I did not recieve one.... will there be any kind of fee that I have to pay???

 

Also there is no hearing date how long after this letter does that usually come..

and should I still send this letter to the court in response to cobbetts asking for CPR part 18 request Send your local county court a copy of this letter here http://www.consumeractiongroup.c o....-re-cpr18.html as soon as your claim has been transferred to them.

 

Help and advice please.....

hi

 

do I do this now the court has dispensed with the AQ

 

you send the Draft Direction to the court you've now been transferred to - the same as if you were filing an AQ using the new strategy:

New strategy for Allocation Questionaires

So, this would mean a cover note like this:

 

I have not copied the letter but would I send it with the Draft dirctions to the court........

Amills, have you received notification from your county court that the AQ is being dispensed with yet - or just the notification from Northampton?

yes I have, it arrived today, the AQ is being dispensed with, so do you think I should do the new stratagy and draft directions or just send them a letter regarding cobbetts requst for CPR part 18????

If your own county court are dispensing with the AQ, you can still send the draft order for directions. With regards to Cobbetts CPR 18 request, you need to send them the letter in the link that I previously posted. The letter to the court re: the CPR 18 request should be sent to your county court. But this is seperate to the AQ.

 

Deal with the CPR 18 stuff - then send the court the draft order for directions. ;)

Brill,

 

I did'nt know if I could send both, but I shall send the CPR part 18 stuff to the courts, and then the letter about the draft directions, which I will have to modify to suit cobbetts defence that they sent to me, is that right????

 

Also Hedgey06 now I have recieved my notice of transfer from the courts, how long after do they set the hearing date usually?????

 

thanks

The Draft Order for Directions should be sent as it is - no need to modify it. You'll basically be asking the court to grant the order regardless of cobbetts' defence.

 

It's difficult to judge when a hearing date will be set as county courts throughout the country differ. For example, on 16th June I received an AQ and returned it along with the Draft Order for Directions by the deadline date of 3rd July - and I've been informed I'll be looking at 2 to 4 weeks from 3rd July before I hear anything.

 

It's a waiting game unfortunately, but as Parkvale would say - patience is a virtue! ;)

If the case is already with the judge (who's preparing to set a hearing date) I'd be inclined to say it could be too late to send the Draft Order for Directions now.

 

Seems like the judge has got the case awfully quick though. :???: Thought you only received notification from them on the 7th??? No disrespect but I'd be inclined to phone the court again tomorrow just to double-check - and if the judge hasn't actually looked at your claim yet, send the Draft order.

Yes thats right I did get the notification on the 7th, when I spoke to the person on the phone today, she said the case is with the judge who will set a hearing date, but I will take your advice and give them another ring tomorrow... could that be a bad thing that the judge has it this quick???

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi

 

I have just recieved another letter from Natwest saying that their goodwill offer is still open, they sent me a rather long letter basicaly saying that beacause of the test case they have asked the FOS and the courts not to proceed with any other case until this is resolved.

 

The offer is for £973 and the claim is for £1500 with fees, what do you think I should do, it does not look like I am going to win now

 

please help
