    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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 a special needs daughter that was statemented all through her schooling and college life.

she is now approaching 21yrs old this xmas

 

after no financial help whatsoever [nothing for 20yrs!] eventually last year i managed to get DLA [on the unattended travel bit] for her.

 

does this open up any other doors?

she is not, nor has, ever been in work.

not signing nor nothing.

 

thoughts please [rent? ctax? relief?]

ESA perhaps but her's would have to be the "Income Based" type.

Employment and Support Allowance : Directgov - Disabled people

 

Re. CTB and HB/LHA it depends on if she lives with you or not.

 

There are some on-line benefits calculators available and an ESA form for those who want to see what's involved, see below.

It does sound like it's worth applying for ESA, but it may not have to be income-related. ESA Youth, or ESA(Y) could be available to a person who has, effectively, never had the chance to make the required NI contributions because their disability has prevented them from working for a significant part of their adult lives.

 

I should make it clear to the OP - ESA does not depend on an award of DLA. Plenty of recipients of ESA don't get any rate of DLA at all. But if ESA were to be awarded, an award of DLA at the middle or higher rate care component may increase the amount of ESA due.

 

ESA is paid to people who have limited capability for work (or no capability at all) because of an illness or disability. It sounds like it is certainly worth your daughter making an application.

As asked above, what rates is she getting for both elements of DLA?

 

Does she live with you or independently, or in assisted accommodation?

 

If with you, do you/your partner work FT or does someone care for daughter for more than 35 hrs a week?

 

As yu can see there are a lot of variations, but some of the possibilities for her or her carers are:

 

Housing and/or council tax benefit: a disability premium can be substantial for a rebate. We paid council tax for years without realising that we were entitled to 100% rebate due to disabled child. We're homeowners so don't get HB, but that can also reduce rent liability if tenant.

 

Carer's Allowance if the carer cares for the disabled person for more than 35 hours a week and earns less than a certain amount (about £90/week). CA is only about £55 a week, but every little bit helps. It is however a taxable benefit and so can affect other benefits.

 

More info on which rates she's getting will help in determining what other benefits may be available.

My G'Daughter has Aspergers and gets free bus travel for herself [and any carer over the age of 16 who travels with her]
Good point middenmess, I think all LA's have similar free bus travel schemes, round my way DLA middle or high rate means you are eligible.

ok great info you lot.

 

i'll dig out the paperwork tomorrow.

 

just to muddy the waters somewhat.......

 

i am living down south on my own, in rented council house, the family are all in scotland at the mortgaged family owed business, i sadly failed to secure early retirement due to the financial climate and still work ft. my daughter is not with me.

 

she is not disabled in the physical nor mental state, just suffered her first 3yrs not being able to hear, so is about 5-7yrs behind her expected educational expectations.

 

keep the ideas and info coming.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..
