    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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.

I took a real nice car that drove fantastic in for just an oil

change and a new tyre. I just wanted a basic oil and oil filter

change, so i paid £49.99 online for the oil filter and oil change. I

also wanted a slow puncture sorted, so I took the car in and after being told I needed four tyres and the tracking was out, I said no way mate this car has only just had its MOT like 30 miles ago, so how can this be true? So he said: “well it needs one done as its got the inside popping out and he showed me and the tyre was good as new but it did have something in the tread so I agreed he could replace two tyres, so I took two new tyres at a cost of £140 for two new budget tyres and a number plate bulb that he said was a milky colour and another that worked sometimes but not all the time. I thought okay they know best, but I left with a car that could no longer drive straight (steering wheel no longer centre). The car is no longer driving straight, why and how could this happen on a tyre change?

 

I wish I never took the car into kwik fit. I’m not sure my car is

even legal now, the steering wheel is at a 10 o’clock position when i’m going straight!!! I’m gutted, I’ve given good money to them.

 

I’m going to trading standards about this and will post as many

reviews as I can regarding this (tracking cheat) that kwik fit seem

to do, also the extra parts that kwik fit always seem to add. I’m

not going to let this lie, I cannot afford this sort of cheat and it

needs to be exposed. They have made my car horrible to drive and maybe even against the law to take on the road?

Changing two tyres would not have the effect you are stating. The only way I could see that happening is if the tracking has been adjusted.

 

Just reading a few threads on Kwik Fit will show how 'some' of them invent work.

This is what i was unsure about changing a tyre would it make the steering wheel one sided, it also feels different in turning and seems like it wanders like i have to much toe in or something.

The car was as straight as a dime when i took it in and the steering wheel was 12oclock lovely to drive.

 

This should be a criminal offence.

I have no one that can look at it for me i could only ask that they put it back as it was and hope they do.

 

I've made a compliant to kwik fit complaints department via their website and will also use the CEO email provided here by old cogger. thanks guy's and hope they do the right thing.

Its not a criminal offence to incorrectly adjust your tracking.

 

Take the car back to them and ask them to check its been done correctly noting the differences you now have with the steering wheel etc

I didn't ask for the tracking to be touched. I just wanted a tyre change and some oil. so why touch the tracking?

The car has only just had a MOT the tracking was fine and i never asked for anyone to touch it, so for them to mess with it and then try and charge me to have it centred again should be a criminal offence.

If you haven't contacted the centre as yet, I would recommend doing so by phone BUT only if you can record the call. You do not have to tell them that you are doing so. They may just say something incriminating.

You could go and complain to them and demand they sort it out. I still cannot see this as anything but the tracking. If they had damaged a wheel during the replacement process, your steering wheel should still be the same but as it is not, somebody has done something.

makes you wonder IF they jacked up on track rod etc??? or similar?

 

You raise a very good point. If at any time the tracing rods got bent by using them as a jacking point OR got them caught during jacking, this would have the same effect.

1) car had MOT on 3rd March (do they check tracking? i don't know) the car drove perfect and it had new tyres on so why would they check it? tracking was fine by how it drove.

2) I brought the car 8th march

3) I drove the car about 30 miles then i booked it into kwik fit for oil change and to fix a slow puncture. (puncture was on the NSR) !!

4) The car drove lovely nice and straight 12 oclock steering wheel no wobble no knocking.

5) after kwik fit the car is awful to drive and has a 10 oclock steering position while going on a straight road.

 

I'm not a mechanic so its the best i can describe it.

I now need another day of work just to phone and see if i can get the car back in for rework. can they even be trusted not to make things worse?

wish i never went there in the first place.

No dont take it to another garage, that will only complicate any redress from kwik fit as they will undoubtedly claim the other garage has caused the problem.

You MUST take it back to kwik fit for remedy, only if they dont fix it or refuse to fix it, do you then go elsewhere.

 

If you do have to take it to a 3rd party garage for repairs then that forms the basis if a claim against kwik fit but sadly not if you dont offer kwik fit the chance to remedy first.

 

Whats actually on the invoice from KF ?

Does it just say for 2 x tyres?

 

Oh and finally just for information, tracking is NOT part of an MoT test

Pull or drift on the car can be caused by multiple things but front wheel tracking is not one of them! It's a common misconception.

 

 

Tracking or vehicle geometry setting should always be done from back to front i.e rear tracking and camber adjustment first and then the front. However the steering wheel must always be locked in the straight ahead position and the toe in/out has a tolerance for each axle along with an individual measurement and cross axle measurement/tolerance.

 

 

Assuming all is correct then it is possible for a car to drift and the generally accepted standard is one lane change over 100 meters at 60 MPH.

 

 

If the car is outside these figures then you need to look at tyre conicity and a term called PRAT. If after checking this then subframe alignment needs to be checked.

 

 

Most of the above is beyond the capabilities of a kwik fit fitter or their management so you might now have to refer to a main dealer.

 

 

What car is it anyway?

Most likely they "adjusted" the track rod nut by a couple of turns so they could claim that new tyres need alignment and squeeze another £40 from you.

Avoid them like the plague in future.

 

Spot on mate. its what's happened.

 

I took the car into another kwik fit branch and they used a hunter machine to show the wheel alignment and the front right was way way off so they checked all wheel balances and realigned the fronts and now the car (fiesta mk6 07 plate) can drive down a straight road with the steering wheel at 12 oclock position again instead of 10 oclock.

 

Horsham Kwik Fit is as corrupt as hell and i will never be going there again.

I'm still ****ed that them animals at Horsham can do this to my car. like i say it drove fantastic until they changed two tyres.

In the future i will use my local garage and give them some business.

 

Worthing Kwik Fit were very helpful though so credit were credits due.

on the invoice it has

oil filter

oil change

2 tyres

2 valves

2 balance

2 tyres disposal

2 bulbs

 

none of the above should have put my wheel alignment out. and every mechanic i've spoke to say the same. "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM KWIK FIT"

Well, at least they haven't damaged your car beyond repair as they do in many other occasions

 

Yes i can imagine, they have got away with so much for so long, they think they are above the law and in some ways they are, just like all big corporate companies they can do what they want with the public.

lesson learned here now :) they will never get me again and i will be sure to pass on how bad they are. different branches will give different results and i'm sure if i had gone to KF Worthing i would probably have been ok, But that Horsham branch needs to be investigated.

well formal complaint to the CEO, and trading standards!

 

My proof is ? my word against there's?

I have both invoices now, But i don't see how it could prove anything either way.

if i had a mechanics report before i took the car to KF then ya, But i think they will just say the car was bad when it came in and how could i prove it any other way?

 

I don't want to waste all my time chasing these for nothing. But if you think it would really make a difference then i will. and thanks for the advice.

we have so many reports regarding kwick tits that I am sure they are overdue a place on Watchdog.
