    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown out.....................................

    • 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.

my mother is a widow on basic state pension aged 64 she has no other form of income yet has been charged over £300 this year by HSBC does this not fall under the BBA code of practice as she has the minimum amount allowed by the government to survive yet the bank take a chunk from this, if she was unable to pay water rates heating etc and was to die of hyperthermia would the bank to be to blame?

Anyone can help let me know as she is due another £50 charges on 11th Sept out of her whopping £106 weekly state pension

cheers

Has she requested her charges back yet?

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Okay, as her income is made up of the state pension (a form of state benefit effectively) the bank should look into it as a matter of priority. If they don't or don't give a positive outcome then refer the matter to the FOS.

 

You/your mother will have to stress, however, that this is her sole income and the bank charges are causing her really financial hardship. They should then look into it as per the FSA statement on hardship cases.

thanks,

the bank have just fobbed her off today - charges are fair etc no mention of hardship or fact that this week she has paid her entire £108 state pension off her charges and left with 0p for the rest of the week - no heating food etc

thanks for the help

Hi madcap. Have just replied to your PM which I might not have done correctly. Please confirm here that you received it.

 

If in doubt, go to the first Welcome section and read reply to "any advice" yesterday or the day before.

 

Good luck.

i'd go public if it was me tbh - thats about as low as u can get

 

i'd suggest another course of action but i would probably get banged up under the prevention of terrorism act....

 

makes me laugh - who the ****ing hell do the banks think they are??????

DCA's - they have the same power as an infinite number of untrained chimps working on a script for Hamlet, but the chimps would probably at least get it right :D

Hi the madcap.

 

As Rayne says, go public.

 

My problem is I am not a computer geek and can't link all my posts together but I know I have posted two excellent contacts that will help you in the weekend press.

 

Try the 'taking benefits' links, but if you have the slightest difficulty just respond here and I'll repeat the details for you.

 

It's just I have had one of the worst possible days but I'll be up and chipper tomorrow.

 

We're all her for you!

 

Regards.

 

Van

The alternative is to suggest to your bank first that you are willing to go public and contact the press on this. It might just give them the nudge required.

Thanks everyone I have been told by HSBC's Heidi Daniels

Manager Customer Credit Services that is is being dealt with by the relevant department after first giving me the usual "charges fair etc" spiel I have given my mother £200 in order that she can eat and pay bills this month so she is okay at present but stil await a decent response for her

Hi madcap.

 

I have two utter loathings in my life (well maybe one or two more!)

 

Number One: Computers. They don't work like I expect them to.

 

Number Two: Banks. They don't behave like they should using my money.

 

Do you believe there is actually someone named Heidi Daniels in HSBC actually writing you a letter? She must be a fairly prolific writer - much more productive than J. K. Rowling for instance - because she has sent me plenty.

 

I'd actually prefer to think she didn't exist since I had a Heidi once - an adorable miniature dachshund - who was run over by a drunken driver in my own quiet cul-de-sac. I did something I have never done before or since - I went to his house and hit him in the face, and then buried little Heidi.

 

But now we have a Miss A. C. Pridmore - same bulldust - but at least she acknowledges her feminity.

 

On message #10 I said I would be 'up and chipper', but just between you and I wasn't.

 

Mrs. Van diagnosed with clinical depression and reacting badly to medication, best friend dying with cancer (50 miles away) and water board threatening to cut off water supply. Few other things as well.

 

Don't despair I'm telling Miss Pridmore what I am going to do with our benefits and how she can whistle for the bank's cheque guarantee card to be cut up and returned.

 

Most regrettably, my generation never really learned the vulgar tongue these parasites seem to use and enjoy so it's difficult to respond.

 

Mind you, I did make what 'soldierboy' thought was an appropriate suggestion to his problem with Abbey.

 

Tomorrow, the letter goes - promise.

 

Regards.

 

Van
