    • I spoke to a pro-bono entity this afternoon.  They advise I must initiate a claim in the court v the receiver if I want to then file an application for an order for sale.  I must have a claim/ proceedings to be able to force a sale. The judge in the current proceedings  has told me that I cannot force the lender to sell and the lender cannot interfere either.   If the receiver isn't acting correctly and isn't selling - this means I must make a claim against the receiver
    • Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, so I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.
    • As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.
    • This other entity doesn't know what's going on.  To be clear I had huge equity.  No-one would ever expect a lender to erode all my equity.  The question is - if anyone knows the legal answer - on the basis they have a charging order - could they make an application for an order for sale?  
    • Is this place near to you? I ask for two reasons. If you can easily go back, then get photos of the signs.  On GM and Parkopedia there are various comments about the signs being pants. Also go back to the school uniform shop and ask the manager there for contact details for the retail park (which I've Googled & Googled and got nowhere).  The school uniform shop will just be tenants of the retail park, they won't be able to do anything.  It will be the retail park that called EPC in, and we've seen loads of cases where the organ grinder has intervened and called off the monkey.  As for EPC, aye, ignore them until LoC stage.

    • 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.

After owning the same car for over 20years I found myself needing to replace it.

 

I purchased a car last year (August 17) which was £0 tax.

All the relevant paperwork was sent off and i received the new keeper registration document.

What I didn't realise is that i needed to register my car online.

 

In November 17 my vehicle was clamped for being untaxed.

I was totally shocked and couldn't understand why this was as i did not have to pay tax on it.

My mistake.

I paid the fine of £100 to get it unclamped after registering the car.

I thought that was it.

 

However, I have now received a letterlink3.gif to say that must pay out an out of court settlement of £30.00 to stop DVLA taking me to court!

 

I dont understand how that can be if i have paid the fine and corrected my mistake.

I was not told that i would be charged an additional £30 2 months later!

Surely, this money making and cannot be legal

 

Does anyone else experienced this? please advise.

 

 

Do I pay the £30 fine

The OP is suffering from one of the ironies of tax exemption and that is you still have to fill out a tax renewal every year.

 

The same goes for veteran cars that dont need tax or an MOT,

you sill have to jump through the same hoops and even declare the vehicle SORNed if you are going to leave it in the garage this year instead of doing the London to brighton run.

 

So your problem was not the registration of the vehicle but your failure to apply for road tax at the nil rate for the year.

Not much you can do to get out of the £30 rip off demand

This is why they dont do away with road tax and slap the extra on as fuel duty

...I paid the fine of £100 to get it unclamped after registering the car. I thought that was it

as the letter says, the clamping is deemed separate to the 'untaxed' liability (its note #3 re the Regs).

as said, the same hoops need to be jumped through re a nil tax vehicle. (even though they know its nil on their computers)

this is something to be aware of now when buying/transferring a vehicle, as any tax (even nil) on it now gets auto cancelled upon. before

The normal DVLA Penalty for not taxing a car is min £30 + any road tax due.

Just be grateful you were not stopped by a Police check which would have shown no tax on vehicle and may have invalidated your Ins.

It took me 2 mins online , this week to tax an exempt vehicle for 12 month for £nil having received the V11 reminder.

A common misconception/urban myth.

 

Not having VEL on a vehicle does not invalidate your insurance. No VEL is a revenue offence and has absolutely nothing to do with car insurance.

 

However, under devolved powers (powers devolved from the DVLA to the Police) if the force that stops you have them (most do now) a vehicle with expired VEL can be seized.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.
