    • 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.

Well peeps here I go all over again, totally & utterly p***ed off.

I'm in the middle of changing bank, I sent them a letter last week telling them I want everything moved over to my new bank, I have even spoke to a lovely lady on the phone from Abbey, & she confirmed that they have also been in touch with halicraps, informing them of the move over, but they still want to charge me £74 for failed DD's for the massive value of, wait for it............................................................£11.92, it is an absolute & utter joke. I even stuck a tenner in there to go with the £1.98 that was already in there, just to cover payment, & they send me an email at 10.30 last night; so when I signed into my online account I found the dreaded letter. To say that I'm annoyed is mild th_chainsaw.gifBut, there is a possibility that I might be able to get this nipped in the bud, So, I'll keep you all posted.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, now I'm totally climbing the F***ing walls, I spoke to the insurance company, & the young lass on the phone said that as I have offered to pay this month instalment by cheque, she would waive it this month, which means I don't have to pay anything at until Sept. - sorted, no problems at all.

Rang haliprats, & was told that I would have to pay this months instalment, & £74 charges. He would not listen to what I what saying to him, & was adamant that the letter I got telling me that I was getting my money back, had to be signed & sent back, so I read the actual letter out to him. His answer was that if I transfer what is left in my account to Abbey, I would be putting my halicrap one into default, & either way I will have to pay the charges, I told him that I will spend it all before they get anything from me, & I will take it all the way to court again if I had to, I also said that I would have to see what CAG will say about that, as I have been a member for a while now, I then put the phone down & went mad. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhangryboese0867yc.gif

What happened was that I thought everything was covered, money DD's & my benefit, all organised & ready to change over to Abbey. My benefit will go in to abbey next week, 'cos I sorted that myself, but I didn't know that the form for DD's has been lost, & thats why the peeps in the account shift office thought I didn't want my DD's moving from halicraps. So now I'm gonna have to ring Margaret at Abbey again & see if anything can be done about that £78, 'cos like I told the young man at halicraps, I have no intention of paying them anything, & if I have to I will spend the £11.98 that is still in there.

I ain't finished yet, I've still got some fight left in me. lol

To cap it all, I've just dropped my mobile into the washing up bowl, & yes it was full of washing up & water.

It's not my day!crazy1no.gif

hehehehehe, I know, but I've had to hang it out to dry. lmao

Just spoke to Margaret again from abbey, glad I'm going there. She said that maybe it would be best to leave the bit of money in halicraps for now, & when I get letter from haliprats by post, to take it in to her & they will maybe pay charges, also ring halicraps again, & ask to speak to a manager & ask for the charges to be waivered, 'cos she said it can be done, & also to get as much advice & info from CAG as I can, to see what I can do about them, 'cos they (halicraps) haven't given me a chance at all. She also told me that they have to give me 14 days notice before they can take any charges from me. Plus as my benefit is just that, is it not "Illegal" (maybe not right word) for banks to take it from my account. Then again it won't be going in there will it. lol

Got headache now. Can't cope today, just found out the pub where the lads go for basketing their Pigeons has closed last night, so I now have to find somewhere else for tonight & get everything out of the pub that belongs to us. Can I go back to bed & start again from the day I got my first lot of money back pleeeeeeeease

Update no. can't remember!

Just this minute got off the phone with a Manager no less, at haliprats, & yep you guessed it they will NOT be waivering the charges, you should have been here , it got into another fairly heated conversation, & would you believe I didn't even raise my voice once (proud of myself there), but I was a tadge sarcastic about how they can justify charging the amount that they do, he told me if I wanted a letter sent to me by post it would cost me £5; I told him to forget it, 'cos there is no way on earth I'm going to pay any more money them a*seholesBIGYuppyAcid.gif

Hi money, yes I have when I spoke to one of their managers, & his reply was, "we can take it, because you owe it to us, & the rules also allow it".

Margaret at Abbey, told me that they will pay the £74 because of the misunderstanding, & it not being my fault, which I can honestly say is very good of them. She advised me to come back on CAG & get as much help & info that I could to try & beat haliprats again, & she agrees that they haven't given me a chance, by slapping the charges back on within a day of missed payment.

It might be worth printing off a copy of this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/36790-bank-taking-your-benefits.html and slapping it on the counter at your local Halifax branch - that's what I did, the young filly scooted off to the manager and I got my charges back there and then :D

Hi overflow, thanks for the info, hope you like the emails, have you heard anything else yet??

Hi money, I've had to print letter I got online, & took it to abbey. Margaret said that they would probably pay the £78 charges, & that haliprats didn't give me a chance.

So, it looks as if this has gone as far as it can. lol

If & when I hear something I'll keep you posted. xxx
