    • 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.

Engines First LTD (NORFOLK)

 

I need help i am having problem with this company after googling found out this is dissolved company and still trading on 1stchoice.co.uk with five star rating.

 

I ordered my corsa diesel engine on Monday morning the guy said engine will be with me by Wednesday or Thursday and ask my email for sending invoice but after numerous calls still not received any email.

 

 

On Tuesday i rang them again to ask if they dispatch the engine yet or not but the guy put me on hold then said he will ring me back in 10mins waited an hour but no call the same thing they were telling me about sending invoice, whenever i ring them they say ok we going to send you but no sign of any invoice or email.

 

After an hour i rang back and been told that engine not available anymore ok i asked cancel this transaction he said ok i issue refund now.

 

After an hour i rang bank and ask if he actually issued refund or not, bank told me he cant issue refund because money still not cleared all he can do is cancel the transaction and money will go back to your account. I rang him again and this time he was bit rude and said why you keep ringing us we issued refund and you will get money back to your card.

 

Today Wednesday i checked my bank and money left my account completely and the company name appears as 'The Engine Company Norwich'. Rang card company and been told nothing has been requested from the seller so seller not issued any refund at all as he said yesterday.

 

Can anybody give some advice on this.

 

Thank you

Engine first was struck off by Companies House last year and as such, a complaint needs to be made to Trading Standards.

 

It sounds like the payment is 'in progress' so double check with the bank and demand that they don't pay it. It's a bit like putting your money into a holding account for a couple of days.

 

If you paid direct to Engine first by credit/debit card, you should have protection. If you paid via 1stChoices website via PayPal there may be other issues to contend with.

 

I would initiate a chargeback just to be on the safe side.

Money has left my account today and it appears on transaction 'The Engine Company Norwich'.. I paid by debit card, the card people say wait till Friday then contact us then we raise the claim. On the other hand they also asked me to ring the seller and ask if they refunded then send confirmation email or letter to us which i doubt they will do it

1stChoice are just an intermediary and as such, I don't think there will be much comeback from them although you could make them aware that they are allowing dissolved companies to advertise. Sounds like the card company are being as helpful as they can at the moment but TBH they could have been a bit quicker.

 

If you can't get the confirmation email from Engine First, try ringing them and record them saying they will refund. You don't need to tell them you are recording them.

Please remove this post immediately. We have never been on Rogue Traders and take this as defamation of our company name. This customer bought an engine from us on the Monday afternoon, and because of his extreme rudeness to our staff the order was cancelled by us and his card refunded the next day. There are no other complaints on Google regarding our company so please remove this immediately. you as a fair forum should not be adding fuel to this one rogue customers fire

Just to clarify I sort of got the same that the company is dissolved so done a bit more digging just to confirm the findings and this is what I got:

 

On checking the Ops thread Post#11, the screenshot Email is [email protected] so I shortened the email to enginesfirstltd.co.uk.

 

A Whoisdomain check of enginesfirstltd.co.uk link: http://whois.domaintools.com/enginesfirstltd.co.uk brings up:

Registrant type:

Registrant's address:

United Kingdom

 

NOTE: The Registrants name DAVID WALKER

 

I have then checked Companies house and numerous other company checkers either by company name or directors name David Walker and they all keep coming back to this dissolved company and the link between them is the individuals name David Walker.

Warning,

The Engine Company are up to their old tricks even today.

 

bought an engine from them arrived days after they said it would.

 

'DAVE' was the stroppiness guy I've ever had the misfortune to deal with over the phone.

 

after nearly ten days the engine arrived,

I say engine but as soon as my mechanic saw it he called me to come down to the garage.

 

Pile of c==p! God knows how it stayed on the pallet!

We refused it outright and watched it get reloaded onto the lorry.

promised a refund but guess what he never did.

 

I've asked my cc company to claim the £900 back.

WHAT A BOOTIFUL SERVICE Definitely a NORFOLK TURKEY!

My god I have recently purchased a complete engine from these people

 

I hope to god we don't have the same experience, but not looking good,

we were told 2/3 days

 

we made payment day later

we had a phone call saying the engine dosent come with the turbo,

would have the engine on Friday,

 

Friday rang up asking for invoice and tracking number

we had to wait but they sent invoice but no tracking because apparently the people in the yard had removed the wrong engine,

not happy at this time as we were hiring minibus at £110 per day

 

the boss rang me back and promised it will be this Tuesday.

The engine is low millage 65000 please be ok.

I will come back hopefully with good news about the company

Never did get my refund from these guys. I had to get my credit card company to go after him.

Fingers crossed that it turns out okay for you but I would get the warranty on paper just to be sure

and keep your fingers crossed.
