    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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.

I have just found out that someone signed in my name for my lovely chanel sunglasses on the 1st aug at 11:40am - amazing considering I was at work at that time and my MD is willing to confirm it! Chanel have asked for proof of my signature but I dont know what happens next as far as the courier are concerned...has anyone been in this situation before that can advise?

 

The bummer is they are replacements for a damaged pair and it took them 6 weeks to track a pair down!!!!

OK:)

 

a) In that case the courier could have left them with a neighbour. Is this possible? Maybe your neighbour just printed your name, knowing they were for you, but didn't sign their own name.

 

I've known of drivers who will get anybody to sign for things, (doesn't add to his round the next day you see!), and one driver would go right up the street just to offload them.

 

b) Your sig could be forged and the last person to have them would be the driver. Or somebody at the depot didn't load them onto his van and he didn't check that out at the time.

 

c) Chanel are lying.

 

d) You are lying. (Not saying you are but 'the other side' will no doubt consider this.:) )

 

d) Some other plausible reason.

 

Whatever, it is certain you have not received them and you have proof you could not have.

 

Get onto the courier company and Chanel to explain the situation.

I have a copy of the signature report from the deliveries that day which is clearly not my signature. I have spoken to my neighbours on the off chance that they signed for me and none of them were in during the day. DX Network Services will not deal with me as I am not the sender - Im not bothered about the insurance side as Chanel are sorting that out. However I am annoyed someone has clearly forged my signature - is it worth reporting it to the police?

Have you checked that the courier has not left them behind a bin or somewhere in your garden etc.

 

I had a courier deleivery that was signed for by me alledgely, after 2 days i found the package in my glass recyling bin round the back of my house.

I will double check as some couriers do leave things in the garage but then they normally put a card through the door.

 

Yes do. Some couriers are just too put upon by their employers to have time to write out a note. Sounds crazy but it is fact. Or he/she was just too lazy.

 

Of course it can be reported to the police if it doesn't turn up as it is theft. Although I think it will be down to Chanel to report it or yourself if you are charged for it.

Just adding to how crap couriers are. Friend ordered a wii from amazon, whos T&C say all orders above £150 MUST be signed. The courier left it under a bush, with no notice, in the middle of chav land here in guildford. Had to talk him out of saying he didn't recieve it.

 

The only person who would sign would be someone from your house though? Otherwise the company should have left a card.

Agreed.

 

The driver doesn't want to take anything back to the depot as he will just have to call again the next day thus increasing his workload.

 

Although this is usually the fault of the courier company rather than the driver. If it is an employed driver, and non-deliveries build up, then somewhere along the line overtime will have to be paid and they are just so tight fisted.
