    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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 am planning on ending my periodic tenancy agrrement at the end of july.

I plan on sending my landlady the following letter:

 

Dear ...

I hereby give notice to terminate my tenancy at ....

The last day of my tenancy will be 31ST July 2008. I will be available on that date after 7pm to complete a check-out inspection.

I will be due back my deposit of 6 weeks rent which I calculate to be £623.

As I understand it deductions may be made from my deposit only for damage to the property or outstanding bills, but no deductions may be made for fair wear and tear to the property ie wear to carpets after a 3 year tenancy, water damage after leaks etc.

Prior to moving out I will ensure that the property is thoroughly cleaned, the grass is cut and that the carpets have been professionally cleaned. I will also provide proof that all outstanding bills on the property will have been paid up-to-date.

 

Please let me know asap if there is anything else you require me to do before I leave the property in order to ensure that I receive back my full deposit.

 

 

I have lived in the flat for 3 years with my friend who intends to stay on and get somebody else in to replace me. My landlady is notoriously difficult and has witheld large chunks of deposit for other tenants who have moved out of other flats in our building. I am trying to do all that I can to ensure that she does not attemt to try and keep my deposit.

 

Does anybody have any advice or comments on my letter ?

 

Many Thanks!

Seems fair to me.

 

May be worth stating that you expect the deposit returned within 14 days of the end of the tenancy, and also saying "PROVABLE damages" rather than just damages. I would also leave out "or outstanding bills" (she cant withhold for that reason).

No worries.

 

The bills are none of her concern basically - they are in your name I assume?

Hello, is your friend on the lease also? Or is it just in your name? Make sure there is a new lease drawn up in your friends name. Is this a sublet? for the rest of your term or is your term over? If it is a sublet then you are responsible for anyone moving in and any damages they may make. If you are leaving and ending your entire term then you will be ok. I would suggest you have your landlord come 3days before the end of your term to inspect the property and then when she says everything is ok... you tell her she will get her key back on the last day when she gives you your total deposite back. I am in London Canada and I am a Landlord. I am not sure if our laws apply to your laws but I would definately have her come see things several days before you are to leave so if there is anything wrong you have a few days to fit it then she has no excuse to keep any of your deposit. Also, have a witness there with you when she does the inspection before your lease is up and after you do the final walk threw. (not the person that is staying on either) hope this helps... good luck!

Sherri
