    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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 Guys

 

Ive just had an incident today, I was stopped by a traffic cop this evening, and on checking my details via Dvla, and to my surprise it turns out it came back that i am on the database as having a provisional License?!?!?

 

I passed my test back in April 2004 and have lived at 7 addresses since then and have never had to use my license on a regular basis, i had lost it and applied for a replacement in Feb 2009 but did not receive it, now the police have taken my car because apparently i am Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, and have 7 days to provide my details and pay the fees to get my car back my problem is (a) if i do apply for a renewal will they return my license within 7 days (which is very unlikely!) (b) will they return a provisional and if so that will mean i still have to go through the channels of sorting it out

 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice!

You're not the only one and it seems dvla don't give a monkys do dah.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dvla/126420-dvla-has-lost-my.html

 

There are others, a thread by a lorry driver and one by a motorcyclist if I remember correctly, and neither were able to get anything from dvla other than 'no record, take another driving test', so have a look through other threads to see if there is any resolution.

Hi,

When I passed my HGV test last year, I was given the test pass certificate.If it wasn't sent to DVLA within two years I would have lost HGV entitlement.It wasn't the examiners responsibility to send it off.I was given the option though to let him send it but I wanted to show it off to a few people.If I didn't send it within two years I would have had to do the test again.Did you or your test examiner send your test pass certificate off when you passed your test?If DVLA said there is no record,then it appears they didn't receive your pass certificate.Hopefully, your test examiner sent it off.If this is the case, a letter from them should clear this up for you.I'm sure the same rules applied when I passed my car and bike test, but those were a few years ago.I'm not sure the same rules apply now.Hopefully someone more knowledgable can confirm this,or not.

Regards

Signaller

For a standard car driving test the examiner always offers to send off your provisional licence to be exchanged for a full one at the end of the test (assuming you passed of course! ;) ).

 

At this point you may accept or decline the offer, although I see no benefit in turning it down.

Can someone please advise..A week ago today I was stopped randomly by a wpc and given a producer, mainly because my insurance is on a company insurance and she could not check the details, her words, not mine.! Then on checking my license, she then tells me that I only posess a provisional one..!! I was not having any of this as I passed proudly, first time, in 1991..!! I decided that I would go to my local DVLA office to apply for my license, with change of address and to check what I had been told by said wpc.. Waiting patiently for an hour whilst I paid extra for yet another form that I could take to the police station until my new license arrives, I was called to the desk and given back my form telling me I am a class A PROVISIONAL driver..!! What the hell am I going to do now.?? I have looked on the web and discovered there are thousands in this situation, I even discovered BBC1 Watchdog programme run a special on lost information concerning the DVLA.. Does anyone have any help or advice PLEASE as I am at my wits end and have tried everything I can think of.. I feel I am being treated like a criminal for something that is not my fault.!! In 19 years I have never ever been stopped and when I am it is a 100 times worse than experiencing the embarassment of being pulled over..!! Any advice gratefully received..!!

The driving school has no obligation to keep records back to 1991!

 

Even with the day, date, time, name of examiner and a sodding photo of me with the examiner and my pass certificate in 1979, the DVLA would not accept I had passed my bike test. I haven't bothered witrh it now as I am too old for bikes and hospital food, but all the same they are always right and you are always wrong.

  • 7 years later...

and here we are 9 years later and the DVLA are still at it. My licence has been lost in one of the moves and I've had many. I had a couple of name changes after getting married, once overseas. And when I ask the DVLA, apparently unless I can provide them with my 4 marriage certificates and 4 divorce certificates , plus dates of marriage and divorces, plus all the addresses I have lived (those I can provide in date order) and when I lived at them, they won't issue me with a replacement. I sent them reams of paperwork, plus photos, birth certificates and the like after spending a fortune on copies and writing to Canada for one lot, and they simply ignored it and deny all knowledge of ever getting it. It seems they just don't *want* to issue a replacement. So what am I supposed to do now? Take my test again?
