    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you

    • 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 am beyond mortified.

 

I am in the middle of a very turbulent time in my life, my depression is all over the place .

 

Today I had period pain, I went to Sainsburys to get some medication. The pharmacy was closed.

 

I hovered in the section for ages before I STUPIDLY decided to take the medication off the shelf of the closed pharmacy.

 

I then panicked and left the store.

 

I wasn't stopped, but they would definitely have me on camera taking the medication from the closed pharmacy. I don't know if it is clear I still had it in my possession when I left, but they may also be able to see my car registration.

 

I am freaking out. I want to go back into the store and return the items and profusely apologise for this out of character behaviour, but I also know this could give them a reason to press charges...

 

Someone please give me some advice, I am a wreck.

 

The pills cost about £2.60 if it means anything...

Extremely unlikely that anything will happen. Chances are that they would only look at the CCTV if somebody reported seeing you doing this. Had you been seen at the time then you would have been stopped so please stop worrying. Even IF somebody was to review the CCTV (and they don't just do this for fun, they have to have a reason, it would be impossible to then use CCTV to see you leaving and which vehicle you got into so for all sorts of reasons you have absolutely nothing to worry about

 

That isn't to say that everything is OK, as stealing is never OK, and if it were to happen again, there is every chance that you would get caught and potentially be dealing with a police interview. If this is a one off then please make sure that it stays that way but if you are feeling compelled to do this more often, it is important that you speak to your GP as clearly the issues which are affecting you so badly at present need treatment. In fact make an appointment anyway - you need to get on top of things and start to feel better

 

If you need to make amends, why not put the money in an envelope along with an anonymous note saying that you discovered that you left without paying for whatever item it was. Post it to them or get somebody else to drop it at customer services

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

You don't say what kind of medication it is but I would like to suggest two things.

 

First of all, I agree that you will probably feel better if you send the money with a note of apology to the manager of the store. By all means send it anonymously. I'm sure this will make you feel much more comfortable and also if somebody had taken note of you, this would be fantastic evidence of your honesty and your good intent.

 

The second thing I would do is go and see a doctor – not for medication – but to be referred to somebody you can talk to. Everybody has their own view but I convinced that talking therapies are the very best way forward – even though it has to take longer.

Hi and welcome to CAG.

Can I heartily endorse the other views expressed here, especially BankFodders point about talking therapy. It does help if you let it.

 

 

 

An anonymous £2.60 is probably better for you

 

 

 

Good luck

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thank you all for your advice.

 

I have written a short anonymous letter of apology and included the money for the item.

 

I have also realised that this is rock bottom for me. I have an appointment with my GP this afternoon and spent a lot of time last night on the phone with a mental health helpline.

 

Thank you again

Keep a copy of the letter and note the date which you have sent it.

 

Good for you on taking action to get to grips with the deeper stuff.

 

We can't help with that - and we wouldn't want to because we don't have that kind of capability - but if you have any of the kinds of things which we do deal with, such as debt etc - then come to us first.

 

I'm going to close this thread - but you are always welcome to start another on another issue
