    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.
    • Hi everyone, Thanks for the responses. Just a few follow up questions in light of what's been said:   If I dont appeal to PPM, who can I appeal to?   Why should the PCN been attached to the windscreen? Is this written in law?   I assumed the document I had received was the NTK, if this is not the case, what does a NTK look like?   Regarding the compliance with the Protection of Freedoms Act, could the "period" of parking not be argued either way? The legislation doesnt state it must have a start/end time of parking, which I assumed an ANPR camera would pick up if it had one. Is 4 minutes not technically enough to show the vehicle was parked?    Thanks !

    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.

    • 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.

Firstly, thank you to Reka and Deedee1310 for their warm welcomes to CAG in Reka's thread! I am sure before long I will need help with my claim and know where to come! :-)

 

I have followed the CAG guide to reclaiming bank charges of £3641.50 plus £850.09 interest, totalling £4491.59 (as at 24th May 2007) from Abbey.

 

I have today received a letter dated 13th July 2007 from Susan Anderson (Senior Customer Resolution Manager) saying she is HAPPY (really???) to refund £693, which includes cancellation of charges yet to be debited from my account, as a gesture of goodwill. The account will be updated within the next 10 working days.

 

I incurred additional charges in June which I intend to add to my claim as they fall within the 6 year time frame. Abbey were going to deduct another £80 in July which I assume are the charges they are cancelling.

 

I am going to use one of the template letters on the site to accept the goodwill gesture as a part payment but informing them that I am still going to pursue the balance of my claim.

 

My question now is do I go through the FOS which I know is now an alternative to the court action or will I get a better response from Abbey if I start the court action? I can use £120 of their goodwill gesture for the fees!

 

Any help/advice very welcome to collect the rest of MY money from Abbey!

 

Many thanks

 

June

Hi June, it is really up to you, read up on a few threads and see how it all happens, when you compile your spreadsheet , when (if) they credit your account with the money that they say will be refunded then take them off the bottom of your spreadsheet in the form of a minus so that it takes it off and gives you a total figure

Hi Lula

 

Many thanks for your speedy reply - you are much quicker than Abbey :lol:

 

I used a spreadsheet from another site for my original figures but I note that there is a better one on this site so I am about to transfer the information over to that.

 

I feel as though I am over the first hurdle in that Abbey have actually acknowledged my "complaint" now and their part payment will make life a little easier this month.

 

I have also received a new cheque book after ringing to see if there was a problem. I normally receive a new one before the old one runs out, but not this time!

 

Thanks again and take care

 

June

June, its not a problem, we seem to do alot of repair work from other sites, whilst they are very good up to a certain point, we can take it further, and as regards cheque books, Mr Lula has been waiting for a new multifunction card since the end of June and he is what they would term as a model customer

Just a quick update!

 

I went online today to check my Abbey balance and they have refunded 13 x £30 charges and 5 x £35 charges totalling £565 of the goodwill gesture they wrote to me about on 13th July.

 

I am going to pursue the balance of the charges via the FO. I've updated my spreadsheet to include further charges incurred in June and will deduct their goodwill gesture from the total.

 

I'll keep you informed of any further progress.

 

Good luck all.

 

June
