    • Just had an email re the my breache in agreement by her rep.   I asked you yesterday if they had asked about her name in the thread being removed.   The issue they have is the Elizabeth turner and genetic pups entry on google.   they knew I did not put it up and told them so in court.  I dnt know how to post on google.   I told them I cannot remove what I did not post.  when i come back here and saw her name gone from threads title, I presumed her reps sought it.   now I get an email saying her names still on google ur breaching the agreement as it’s still on google.

    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "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;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?

    • 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.

Hello there and welcome to CAG.

 

Not everyone here knows about tax credits so you need the right people to turn up and see your posts. So please bear with us, you've only been here since 2pm :).

 

I'll start a new thread of your own and flag it for the site team's attention.

 

My best, HB

Illegitimi non carborundum

have you been invited to an interview under caution.

 

hmrc mostly likely got their evidence together and need to hear what you have to say.

council tax and electoral: your partner should have been removed from these. your ex should not have stopped over night except in emergency circumstances. from what you have said its going to be hard to explain why you didn't do it. there argue you would have known about it for the 25% discount

 

again your partner staying overnight is a big no no. except in emergency circumstances and i don't think you have met that

 

using a joint account: again is a big no no. and i guess they wont believe you. part of their check now includes who puts money in and who withdraw its

 

joint mortgage is no so bad as its hard to remove one name from a mortgage because the mortgage want to protect its investment

 

we can only go by what you are saying

my advice is if your partner is living you then come clean and explain why you did it. a £5000 overdraft is one factor. you will have to repay every penny back but hopefully you would avoid the courts

 

beware the fraud team collect vast amounts of evidence so beware they could have other evidence for example job application forms for you ex giving your address catalogue companies delivering stuff to your address and loans all taken out at your address

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.

first offence: no but as i said we can only go by what you tell us. if he has his own address in london then maybe he has evidence to prove it. does he pay council tax or rent. has he had loans etc at this address and insure is own car from this address.

if he can then you properly get a warning about letting your ex stop over night. dont know how you can explain the joint account

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.

Hi folle.

 

It's easier said than done, I know but you need to calm down - you will drive yourself to distraction worrying what may or may not happen.

 

Tax credit very rarely prosecute. Very rarely. To reassure you about that, I've helped people with hundreds of tax credit cases where an allegation of fraud has been made. Of those hundreds, I've seen only one prosecution. In most cases the investigation is a civil one, where the aim is solely to recoup the money lost - sometimes with an added financial penalty. Requesting a years worth of bank statements is perfectly normal; this happens in almost all compliance enquiries when they are investigating a potential undeclared partner. They also usually ask for a host of other documents such as utility bills, mortgage docs, wage slips, council tax bills. The issue that I forsee is one of proof, as a previous poster said. All the paperwork available appears to point to him having a partnership with you. Even in cases where it's been decided fraud has occured, prosecution is rare with tax credit. However, if you haven't already spoken to your husband, I would suggest that you do if he's approachable. He may have some documents which disproves their allegations and which could help you. Also, if you are legally seperated then the paperwork in relation to that would help.

 

As a consumer forum, we'll help where we are able to with your tx credit issues. Also because we are a consumer forum, we are unable to assist you with your the feelings you are experieincing at the moment. I know that you have gone to your GP and have obtained medication but if you are feeling in despair, I would urge you to contact the Samaritans. You can link to them here: Talk to Someone

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.

as above. tax credits rarely prosecute and if i'm right the ones that are prosecuted are the ones were they have damming evidence and they still refuse to admit guilt. speak to the CAB they are best to help and right now they are the best to help

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.
