    • 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.

Hi I wondered if anyone can help me please

I want to take British Gas to court

 

I had a small outstanding bill which I contested for quite a long time

In the end I agreed to settle this bill and did so via a standing order of £10 a month

the bill was for £150 and has only about £50 left on it

 

in the time I was paying it British Gas have put missed payment markers on my Experian account and as a result decimated my credit score from 995 to 210

 

 

they said direct debit was the only payment they recognized even though one fo their staff gave me the standing order details over the phone which I have on a recorded call

 

EVEN after I agreed to pay in full they would not remove the markers even though I am still one of their customers !!!

 

the Ombudsman said they cant help

( I think they ran over their allotted time and if so washed their hands of it)

 

British Gas not removing markers is just downright malicious to me

especially as I have offered to settle the debt in full

and I was making payment at the time the markers were applied to my Experian score

These marker were even applied whilst I was making payment to them !

 

Just really unfair as I have been with them for 10 years and am still with them

Can anyone help and tell me how I can fight this ?

 

they have destroyed my credit rating completely and from having 999

I couldn't even get a credit card when I went to Disneyland with the family

because of them I think this is absolutely criminal

and I would gladly employ a solicitor to help me with this in court

 

I have told OS services I don't accept their ruling and I am ready to go to court against British Gas

 

How can I start this process to fight this and bring a court case against British Gas ?

can anyone help me please ....?

Why should these fat cat criminals win and destroy my credit score !!

sadly they are quite correct to mark your Credit File Calendar

but they should have entered a default date in the debt summary?

 

 

is there a date showing?

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

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

ok

initial debt was an overcharged estimate ( guesstimate from British gas £150 )

 

ombudsman ruled in British Gases favour

now I have issued a subject access request against British gas and had lots of info back

LOADS !!! bills CD's ( recorded calls ) etc.

 

I know they are bang to rights and I need an affordable solicitor who can take them to court for me,

I to pursue British Gas for costs for the case as well and also damages for the effect on my personal finance

 

im quite savy with money and I only fight a case

id I have been wronged and I know I have a very good chance of winning !

 

I was told categorically on a call this week I have only made two payments on my standing order £10 to pay off the £150 balance and I have just checked and made 4 payments ..

 

..now this is where the plot thickens as they have issued non payment entries and a delinquency entry on my Experian account ........and as a result they have decimated my Experian credit score !!

 

I was on an Experian score of 999 ( and have been for years ) and now am on 221 because of these malicious uninformed charlatans

 

I can get you facts figures recorded calls but I need some legal advice now as ombudsman have totally failed in their duties and I'm pretty sure its because of workload and they have panicked on rule in the fat British Gas !

 

I had no default date that informed me of adverse affect on my credit score and as a result it has crippled my personal finance

 

I cannot get a credit card or loans for my home or a car if I need one ?

I run a little business and ironically I issue CCJ's only when it has to be done as I know the effect it can have on individuals and businesses ....

 

. I need some legal advice on this ASAP and how to proceed so the big kids in the playground don't get their own way and start throwing their weight around unjustly

regardless to if the bill was an over estimated sum or not

if you owed them 'something' at the point of each marker

and you hadn't settled it, they can mark your file.

 

 

unless you can prove the whole sum of the bill was not owed, you've nothing to 'win'.

doesn't matter if you were still paying.

you owed them 'some' money, even if the sum might have been an error because the reading was an estimate.

they are still entitled to mark your file until the debt is 'cleared'

 

unless you can prove you didn't have ANY debt to them at the time, they have done nothing wrong.

 

you appear not to understand how a credit file works.

 

if you owe someone , regardless to if you are paying, that still doesn't prevent them from marking your file.

because there is a debt

 

prove the debt is bogus

then the markers must be removed.
