    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • Doubt the uneconomic write off would be registered, unless you agreed to accept write off settlement of the claim. It is just cosmetic damage. All that has happened, is that the car has been looked at and they realised the repair costs are going to exceed the value of the car. If the car is perfectly driveable with no upcoming normal work required to pass next MOT, your current Insurers will continue Insurance and you can accept an amount from third party Insurers to go towards you repairing the scratched bodywork.

    • 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 Again PatrickQ1 and Kelcou,

 

Apologies at being a nuisance, but the CAG PM system won't let me send a message to Tuvalu. Are you able to do the honours and email her to advise that there is a post on CAG with information that might help get the result she needs for the passing of her partner, and in a way that doesn't require her to place her and her family in financial harms way? In other words, the Health & Safety Executive and if necessary the police and CPS will, or at least should investigate.

 

Kind regards,

 

banana

Thanks PatrickQ1,

 

Much appreciated.

 

Even if Tuvalu doesn't respond, there appear to be at least two other deaths by suicide related to the new Atos/DWP 'Medical Assessment' failings that require formal and thorough investigation. Methinks this might be a serious issue for those at Atos/DWP who refuse to 'improve' their defective 'Medical Assessment' system that on the evidence, has actual deaths in close proximity to the Atos/DWP 'Medical Assessment' et al. I have come across alleged DWP stonewalling that may very presage and end up a more serious matter than the MP Expenses Scandal. At least, as far as I know, no one lost their lives as a result of the MP Expenses Scandal. Even then the jails have MPs and Lords imprisoned.

 

For anyone curious, the fines and custodial sentences under the new Homicide Act, and breaches of the Health & Safety legislation are very very serious.

 

For civil servants and MPs, the Crown Immunity on material sections of the legislation have been removed.

 

Watch this space.

 

Very best regards to CAG,

I personally do not think it will bother a single MP with regards to the suicides ,MR DS should be held accountable , but they never are they will sqirm out of it, as for expenses any single one of them who has abused the system ought to be held to account ,including MR osbourne who incedently flipped his home and also moved his money 10 mil plus to Guernsey seems he gets away with it but not others ,i do hope eventually someone does begin an action against Atosh and DWP but that is just wishful thinking

Hi PatrickQ1,

 

I take your point and share your cynicism about MPs not being held to account. However, I draw a breath of fresh air from what Heather Brooke started with an almost invisible Freedom of Information request in 2005 that developed into a political maelstrom. Long story short, and it is worth reminding ourselves as we have a severe bout of cynicism, this led to one of the biggest upheavals at Westminster for centuries.....

 

Ex MP David Chaytor convicted and sentenced to 18 months imprisonment.

 

Ex MP Eric Illsley convicted and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.

 

Ex MP Jim Devine convicted and sentenced to 16 months imprisonment.

 

Ex MP Elliot Morely convicted and sentenced to 16 months imprisonment.

 

Lord Taylor of Warwick convicted and sentenced to 12 months imprisonment.

 

Lord Hanningfield convicted of false accounting on 26th May 2011 and awaiting sentence.

 

 

On top of many of the above liars and crooks being jailed, we have the political P45s....

 

Baron Bhatia has been suspended from the House of Lords for eight months and told to repay £27,446.

 

Baron Paul has been suspended from the House of Lords for four months and told to repay £41,982

 

Baroness Uddin faces a police investigation. She has been suspended from the House of Lords until the end of 2012 and ordered to repay £125,349.

 

Ex MP Jacqui Smith stood down as Home Secretary during her partners period of taxpayer funded porn purchase. She was voted out of the House of commons in 2010

 

Ex Chief Secretary to the Treasury, David Laws recently resigned from the new government following a still live £40,000 expense problem.

 

Ex MP Geoff Hoon was humiliated in a television documentary and didn't even stand as an MP in 2010

 

Ex MP and Minister of Employment and WELFARE REFORM Tony McNulty was forced to apologise to the House of Commons and repay £13,837 in dodgy expenses. He was booted out of the House of Commons in 2010.

 

Ex MP and Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury Kitty Usher resigned her position after just 8 days, following publication of her efforts to avoid Capital Gains Tax.

 

The list of political casualties from the Expenses Scandal and related FOI issues that have come to light goes on, and on, and on.

 

Current MINORITY Government Secretary of State Iain Duncan Smith was subject to a dodgy CV expose by investigative reporter Michael Crick. Let us not forget, Duncan Smith was SACKED by his previous employer in a humiliating vote of no confidence in him as Conservative Party Leader. His coat is on the proverbial shugglie peg.

 

My Point? Simple. If MPs do not listen to the warnings of unfairness and injustice, they will face tougher sanctions.

 

In the case of this thread, and the deaths linked to Atos/DWP, there is the distinct probability of prosecution of MPs and Civil Servants with the possibility of jail sentences being handed down to DWP Decision Makers, right up to Iain Duncan Smith being hauled before the courts WITHOUT CROWN IMMUNITY if they do not get their act, and the conduct of Atos employees and DWP officials in line with the new Homicide Act, the HSE Legislation and the Human Rights Act.

 

This matter is what might be described as a 'slow burner'.

 

It took Heather Brooke 4 years from her first FOI request. But the result shook the Mother of All Parliaments to its foundation. That is an undeniable FACT.

 

Tragically, the lessons of fairness, right, justice, and elected representatives/civil servants acting within the law themselves still haven't been learnt.

 

The matter of Atos/DWP and deaths by 'Medical Assessment' appear on this thread in a very obscure corner.

 

But mark my words, the matter will travel up the political agenda as time goes by.

 

Then again, what do I know? I am only a disabled former police officer.

 

Very best regards,

 

banana.

All these MPs that spent time in "prison" if you can call it that spent in fact merely 1/4 of the term handed down by the judges.

Do look that fact up.

Furthermore every last one of them served their time in a very soft open prison. And I have a relative that works at Leyhill open prison and it's a standing joke that it's more luxurious than more pay for fitness/health boot camps that exist throughout the country. Open prisons are really the wealthy and powerful version of a free health boot camp similar to the tv programme for naughty teenagers shown on mainstream tv.

Lord Archer spent much of his time in prison writing a book and spending weekend time at the opera and fine restaurants with the prison governor.

 

Why hasn't his title been removed and surely a fine of £1,000,000 and a prison spell in somewhere like Strangeways as a penalty?

 

To honest most of these toff dicks need a very hefty fine related where possible to their personal wealth. It is a waste of time putting them in prison.

 

It's like former MP Margaret Moran (never prosecuted for major fraud) and indeed recently the tory MP Patrick Mercer ( brushed under the carpet and very likely never to be prosecuted). These of course are only the ones that have been caught numerous other MPs including Cameron and Clegg, Ed Balls and his wife were doing very dodgy deals "within the rules" - (their own rules) making tens of thousand by flipping properties and yet the likes of Tory boys like Cameron and his fag Osbourne with allegedly offshore accounts in the channel islands yet criticizing companies like Google for working "within the rules" too.

 

Quite honestly you've got more chance of the IPCC finding the Police guilty of malpractice and as you are well aware that hasn't happened in the history of the Police. For the same reasons why these MPs never get properly punished.

 

This lady is wasting her time and money bothering to take the DWP and Atos to court as true as IPCC is as about as independent to the Police service as my head is to my body, and ultimately the courts will always rule a nine bob note is legal tender if the government tell them to do so.
