    • If that was the reason then that is good news. The whole reason that being able to charge £100 for breaching private car park rules is because the law Lords decided in a celebrated case that the rogues had a legitimate interest in keeping their car park spaces available for all motorists . {parking Eye v Beavis]. However when the business is closed then there is no legitimate interest in keeping spaces free so to charge £100 is a penalty. As such any Court would automatically throw out the case when the penalty charge is accepted.

    • 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 all,

 

so sorry to interrupt you all, but I just had to say well done to all for pursuing your claims against the big boys.

 

I personnally havent done it as yet, little scared maybe, read all the bad press about them closing peoples accounts down and all.

 

may i actually ask a little question or two.

 

where do you actually start in all this against the halifax,

 

and how far back can you actually go in claiming costs and charges

 

Also, can i claim against credit card (Capital One) companies for things like late payment charges

 

cheers all.

 

Andy

Doesn't matter when they were opened. Just fire off your SAR.

 

Even though they didn't tell me when my a/cs were opened, I just popped into a branch and asked them that question.

 

They helpfully told me!

Hi Andy I could not remember when I opened my Halifax account before I claimed I just rans them and they told me on the phone I did the same with Crap1.

 

Halifax very easy to claim my claim £2295 lasted approx 7 weeks they do take a little longer now as more people claiming, Crap1 you will have to file at court they then payout after 3 to 4 weeks as long as no big mistakes on court file. My claim £1666 about 3 month start to finish.

 

to get statements use the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) template from templates library you may need to amend to use account in palace of bank for credit card.

Yes! They will!

 

But save yourself postage and pay the £10 in cash at the Branch - and get a receipt.

 

That's how I did it - way back!

I always count my 40 days from when Halifax receive it.

 

As for special delivery, I always send recored @ £1.04 some mods say just proof of postage is good enough - ie a stamp with proof, it's totally up to you how you want to send.

I look at it as I have posted it - end of. :D

Hi Drew just to stop you wondering wats happening Halifax do tend to stretch SAR to the full 40 days I entered N1 at court for SAR none compliance but my data for SAR arrived after 43 days. If you ring them you will get we have 40 days and later after sending prelim then LBA if you ring you will get we have 8 weeks(we don't give them that) and we deal with claims in a first come first served basis. I think they must check each prelim/lba as it arrives and they have two in trays straight forward claims and all other claims.

 

On prelim you get a reply of we are investigating your complaint and we have 8 weeks bla bla bla.

On LBA you will get derisery off of about 15% if your lucky other wise 10% then you will get same amout as final offer telling you to go to FOS with your complaint so if you get this letter or 14days on LBA are up then enter court and you will be paid they will not go to court with a straight firward claim the will not disclose true cost of cgarges.

 

all the best dpick:)
