    • 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.

Hi,

 

For the very first time I've received a spam email sent to an address that I only use with CAG (it's a specific user @ one of my own domains). It's not the address associated with this log in, but from a much earlier account I had here at the peak of the bank charges reclaims. I've not logged into CAG with that account for many years now. Is there any chance that you have a security breach?

 

Regards,

OMWO

Quite a few spambots use common words prepended to an email domain in the hope of the message getting through. The shorter the word, and the more common it is, the higher probability is that will attract spam.

 

I would suspect it is just a random hit that got through rather than a security leak.

I've not logged into CAG with this particular username since well before 2008. The only emails I get to the associated email address are CAG newsletters. Today I've now received two copies of the same spam. It is a user I had here back in the early days of bank charges when I was also a site helper.

 

When I started up with debt queries I set up a new account so that there was no link back to my identity where I was now dealing with the same institutions in different circumstances.

Just got another one, as commented they're using jumbomail and the message purports to come from CAG. Might it be an issue with CAG's mailing service??

Had that one (twice - one to the old account email address and one this account email address) here too. Same headers as you would expect. Someone has access to the CAG accounts somehow. Both of my email addresses involved are unique to CAG and not obvious.

I would suspect it is just a random hit that got through rather than a security leak.

 

Been thinking about this, but if that was the case I would have received all the other attempts at making up a name because my email domains are set to allow through any name at the domain. I do this so I can set up unique names for each site I have to provide an email address to. I also use multiple domains, so getting the exact name at the correct domain is far from guesswork or random chance. Both the accounts I have here use different names at different domains.

 

I've been in IT since the early 1980's, before the internet was something the general public was aware of.

I'm very sorry about this.

 

It seems we may have been hacked – and it won't be the first time.

 

I'm afraid that we have particular problems because our Webmaster died last week and we are all in a bit of shock and a bit of a mess as well.

 

I'd ask you to to have patience for the moment. Also please appreciate that even the huge well resource companies like Equifax, Yahoo and loads of others get hacked. I'm afraid that we just don't stand a chance even when things are going well.

Absolutely no problem. I wasn't posting to have a dig, but just to make sure that you were aware that something unusual was going on. I owe so much to this site. I would volunteer to help out with the IT side, but websites, forums and mail hosts are not my strength. I'm mainly a data person. My condolences to the team regarding your loss.

Thank you. It's all rather fraught at the moment because there is the personal shock and also there are all the problems of having to get access codes and passwords and access codes and so forth.

 

I think we may have identified a new Webmaster. You may have noticed that the forum went down for about 10 minutes this afternoon and I think that that was somebody trying to get control of the system back for us and I think it has been successful.

 

Next thing will be to try and have a look at our email system and see what is going wrong – but I expect it will take some time.

 

I didn't imagine that anybody was trying to have a dig at us – but we have received some pretty nasty messages saying that we have sold their email details and they are going to complain about us to the ICO et cetera.

 

I hope everyone is confident that we would never do that kind of thing. In fact it seems that nobody needs to buy our data anyway – they just steal it!

Just my twopence worth, for what is worth...

I'm glad I use a separate email address to log into forums at a few sites as I have now around 200 spam emails to delete with more coming every min...

At least its not my normal email address..

 

Hope cag can get it sorted.

At least all I have to do is disable the email address and I'm not loosing anything..

 

A lot bigger job for cag to sort out there end Tha I have to do!!!

Would you mind sending one of them to us on our admin address. Don't forward it. If you could attach it – as an attachment. Then I might be able to get someone to examine it and maybe get some clues from the headers.

Sorry to hear about the loss of one of your team - condolences.

 

I didn't get notification this thread had been updated today, presume that's connected with the "Find all posts" error : "connection to localhost:3312 failed (errno=111, msg=Connection refused)"

 

I just got another message, sent to my CAG specific email so I can identify each one. Have just forwarded all messages to your admin addy, along with headers.

 

Let me know if I can help - webmaster for 15 odd years, forum moderator and site admin for 13.

I've also received the emails previously mentioned, but fortunately I use unique everything for every site so there is no risk to me personally.

 

I think the responsible thing to do would be notify your userbase about this while also talking about the possible implications if using the same username/email/passwords on other sites.

 

best of luck.

thanks for the best wishes. I'm afraid that alerting our user base to this is very difficult because it means we would have to send over 1/4 of a million emails. We don't have the capacity for that and also I suppose that we will simply be accused of spamming again. Also, because we are becoming blacklisted in so many places, a lot of the messages simply won't get through.

 

We try to be as open about it as possible. We don't prevaricate or make excuses. We come right out and tell people if we been hacked. This thread is an example. Unfortunately, we generally speaking only realise it when people start complaining to us.
