    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

Dear all,

 

I had some NHS dental treatment whilst believing I was in receipt of JSA.

 

 

However the DWP had stopped my claim without informing me.

 

Consequently I have been hit with paying £43 for the treatment and a £100 penalty charge.

 

I am no longer on any benefits and have no income whatsoever.

 

My question is:

What if I just don't pay the £143?

Are they likely to take me to court for that amount?

What would be the likely outcome of my refusal?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

It's not something I know a lot about but have been unable to find a case where someone has been taken to court for such a small amount.

As you are saying you have no income whatsoever, there's not much point in me saying you can apply to pay in instalments.

 

 

A person who wishes to challenge the request for payment of a penalty charge by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), may explain their circumstances to the NHSBSA and if they can demonstrate to the NHSBSA’s satisfaction that they did not act wrongfully, or with any lack of care, they will not be subject to a penalty charge.

 

The NHSBSA also has discretion to waive the penalty charge where the person concerned provides compelling reasons for making an incorrect claim for exception. A person who is not satisfied with the handling of their case may use the NHS complaints process to make a complaint against the NHSBSA. Ultimately, this can be escalated to the Health Service Ombudsman.

Do you think I will get a CCJ?

 

 

Sorry, that I don't know, only a court can issue one.

do as we did pay it = end of or they hike it even to court proceedings, there are different JSA etc etc we made the same mistake

there are time limits to pay, did they not contact you initially say for £43.00? with a time limit before the charges go up? b

 

 

had to pay even when Other half had no income what so ever but JSA/ etc at the time but threat of court cost = no win there anyway just more charges, - draconian government we have even in health issues.

 

They even offered other half £1.48 a week job seekers Bus fare £ 2.48 return 3 times a week - did not add up that is how cruel the MPs Bxxxxxxx are.

No they didnt contact me for the £43 first.

 

I just cant imagine they would take me to court for £143!

At worst I think I'd be looking at a CCJ thats all.

 

I just want to know if anyone else has been in a similar situation and just refused to pay.

If so, what was the outcome?

I am a similar threat over my head - in my case, the Dental Surgery made the mistake of informing me that I was entitled to free dental treatment. So, just wondering if anyone managed to get their penalty waived or if you keep refusing to pay, what happens then?

I have to agree with the above even if you try to appeal this is you look at this link: https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/challenge-penalty-charge-notice

 

go down the webpage and have a read of 'Challenge reasons we can't accept'. (read the entire page)

 

What you need to do is make a formal complaint to the practice manager of the dental practice.

 

More than likely they will probably say it was your responsibility to read the forms before signing them. (as you were unsure you relied upon the staff knowledge)

The Practice manager will no doubt state responsibility is yours - be aware longer you take the more they will increase the money ! another law to themselves government rip offs - always the vulnerable people kicked down, always said if out of work and a claimant never mind what so called benefit for unemployment you are on then 1 cap should fit all, we have been there and had to pay up, of course complaints after = well we got your money hard luck type attitude.

Hi Old Cogger, thanks for the interest. I did approach the owner of the Dental Surgery who was the Dentist as well - she said exactly what you'd said she would - that it was my responsibility - there were signs all over the reception - but the point is, I've not been to the dentist for years...probably 10 years. And when I went in, I showed my card and the rreceptionist said, ah, you're entitled to free dental treatment - sign this form - so I signed. Didn't tick or even date the form. That was in Nov 2017. Then I had to go in for another check up 6 months later - and I did - and once again, no charge, then this time, I signed the form and again no ticks and date BUT someone else put in the date (not my handwriting) and the cross on the NHS Tax Credit Exemption. So I got nailed. In another forum, someone had exactly the same situation - but int hat case, the dentist was horrified that they made such a mistake and offered to pay the penalty. Then I suppose, they wrote to NHS and admitted they mistake - and the penalty was waived. Now that is a good honest practice. Not mine unfortunately.

As a NHS patient a fee must of been submitted to the NHS area office who fine you not the dentist, so an appeal goes to local NHS as stated on fine letter etc, as for a dentist owning up paying a fine is in the extreme not a usual practice, so as we did pay up, my O.H. who was fined was only on £1.48 a week job seekers allowance and it seems the wrong allowance as I have stated earlier post, so the NHS do not give a dam, I paid 78 pounds out of my weekly pension by the way which was only £113 a week then
