    • Paragraph 18 – you are still talking about Boston stolen items. About time this was fixed??? Paragraph 19  In any event, the claimant's PS5 gaming device was correctly declared and correctly valued. The defendant accepted it for carriage and was even prepared to earn extra money by selling sell insurance in case of its loss or damage. New paragraph 20 – this the defendant routinely sells insurance in respect of "no compensation" items (a secondary contract contrary to section 72 CRA 2015) new paragraph above paragraph 20 – the defendant purports to limit its liability in respect of lost or damaged items. This is contrary to section 57 of the consumer rights act 2015. The defendant offers to extend their liability if their customer purchases an insurance cover for an extra sum of money. This insurance is a secondary contract calculated to exclude or limit their liability for the defendants contractual breaches and is contrary to section 72 of the consumer rights act 2015. New paragraph below paragraph 42 – the defendant merely relies on "standard industry practice" You haven't pointed to the place in your bundle of the Telegraph newspaper extract. You have to jiggle the paragraphs around. Even though I have suggested new paragraph numbers, the order I have suggested is on your existing version 5. You will have to work it out for your next version. Good luck!   Let's see version 6 Separately, would you be kind enough to send me an unredacted to me at our admin email address.
    • i think theres been MORE than amble evidence of that and am astonished that criminal proceedings haven't begun.
    • Yep, those 'requirements' not met to shareholders satisfaction seem to me to be: 1. Not being allowed to increase customer bills by 40% (of which well over 50% of the new total would NOT be investment) 2. 1 plus regulators not agreeing to letting them do 'things in their own time (ie carry on regardless)
    • As already mentioned freely available "credit scores" are fairly useless. All lenders have their own "credit scoring" system, that for obvious reasons they don't divulge. And they're "scored" differently to the freely available ones. As soon as they could, we've always encouraged our two children to use credit cards responsibly... Pay off in full, etc, to generate good history. It's paid off. At quite young ages, they have both obtained loans for cars, mortgage and their credit card limits are through the roof. Personally, I have shifted debt around a lot on credit cards (even financed a house purchase once at 0% 😉) and I've only ever been refused a credit card once, sorry twice by the same company, over many years. They must have something very different in their lending criteria. You're a tight one, Mr Branson.

    • 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.

Hello

 

My husband apparently went the wrong way down a one way street. He didn't see any signs.

 

I was going to ask if anyone can identify any technicalities we could use to avoid paying the PCN but I can't upload the photos as I don't have enough posts!

 

So I will ask the only question that I can without photos...The PCN arrived yesterday, 21 June 2018, (with first class postage) but I note that the notice is dated 13 June 2018. This means there is a very short time before the 14 days expire. Does this give us anything to argue?

 

Thank you so much :)

Thank you for your reply.

it sounds as if the argument about the PCN arriving late might not go anywhere.

 

I was really hoping to upload the photos.

The last time my husband received a PCN I didn't have this problem!

 

Maybe this post will add to my count and then I can add the photos shortly...?!

 

This is going to be annoying but my extra posts are working.

..so I will add some more posts and then upload my tinypics which I got all ready beforehand! Would be a shame not to use them :)

 

Extra post...photos will be coming soon!

 

Another post...photos are even closer now!

 

I think this is the final post...then the photos will be here! How annoying for everyone! Sorry!

 

 

Oh dear...the links don't seem to be there :-( does anyone know why that might be?

OK, thanks! The world of posting has changed a lot in a few years.

Unfortunately, I've got a screaming 6.5 month old baby on my lap so I can't now faff around with pdfs

(plus the instructions don't seem to make any sense to me from a quick read).

 

Thankfully, I've just managed to use my tinypic links (that took me ages) on the pepipoo website, so if anyone wants to help then you'll find the photos on there with a subject line mentioning "PCN 52M" :)

Thanks for reading :)

Thank you for looking and for the google maps link. Should there not be a red no entry sign just before the road on the left like there is for the road in front which is also no entry?

 

Also, looking at google maps just now, I can see how someone could mistake the white line which is part of the cycle lane for the usual white line on a two way road, if that makes sense? It's a bit misleading...had there been a red no entry sign perhaps it would have been clearer?

There isn't a "No Entry" sign as it isn't a no entry road. I suppose they could have used a no entry sign with a second "Except Cycles" below it. But I think the "No Motor Vehicles" sign will have the same meaning in law. http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/road-signs-giving-orders.html

 

As for the while lines. The usual white line on a two way road would be a single dashed line, rather than a double which usually signifies 'Give Way'. http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/road-markings.html

 

A circular sign with a red border is a prohibition, and it's up to the motorist to see these signs and obey them. And in fairness to the council, they're even properly illuminated.

 

 

Whilst you're within your rights to challenge anything on any grounds, I'm afraid that I think you're going to be fighting a losing battle on this one. I'd swallow it, pay the penalty charge (with 0 points) and count myself lucky that one of the vehicles coming towards me that night wasn't a police vehicle. Lesson learned :wink:

 

 

There's also a study that you might find interesting that was carried out for TfL in 2012. The conclusions are on pages 58 & 59. http://content.tfl.gov.uk/no-entry-except-cycles-signing-review.pdf

 

I don't think it's going to help in this case, but at least they are looking at this kind of thing.

 

 

 

Oh, and by the way, you've left your registration number and PCN number visible on "photo 2" :thumb:

Thank you so much for your detailed reply which I will look at properly shortly. In relation to the details on the photo, what is the reason for normally redacting them? I can't find how to edit or even delete the post on pepipoo :(

Redacting the photos is more for your own peace of mind more than anything, although sometimes, it's alarming what can be found on the internet just from tiny scraps of information, which is why we always advise that anything that can identify a poster (car registrations, reference numbers and especially names and addresses) is removed.

 

Besides that, if I was the type and had (or had access to) the same car as you, maybe even steal one, there'd be absolutely nothing stopping me getting a set of plates knocked up for it (under £20) and going round all the local garages, filling it up with fuel and driving off without paying. Who's door do you think the police will be knocking on?

 

 

I'm afraid I can't help you with editing a picture on pepipoo. I'm not a member of that site and have no idea how their forum works. It's probably the same as this one though in as much as you only get a certain amount of time to edit a post before that function is locked out.

 

 

However, did you upload the images to that site directly, or do you have them hosted elsewhere? If they're hosted elsewhere, you could just edit that picture and then it will automatically change it on pepipoo as well :thumb:

I’m sorry, I don’t see how you can possibly contest that. They’ve literally painted the words “No Entry” in six foot tall letters on the road. Get it paid and over and done with.

Turns out that our car's brake hose pipe was cut last night...is there any way someone could have made the redacted address visible on the pepipoo website?!

Someone on pepipoo has said there is a major flaw with the pcn so I'm hoping we can get off on a technicality. I'm on maternity leave on basically zero pay so it would be good if the money could be spent elsewhere!

It's probably just an unlucky coincidence, unless you live quite close to that road.

 

Someone else who lives in the area could have seen your vehicle registration, and it's not at all hard to find out what car that's attached to. Anything is possible, but as I said, probably just an unlucky coincidence.

 

 

I'm not sure what technicality there is on that PCN I'm afraid. I'm not 100& on council PCN's but there's nothing that's jumping out at me.

Sorry dx, it doesn't. It links to a reference number that would only be any use the the issuing authority (if at all). No addresses are linked.

Thanks for your replies. I have added a photo of the brake hose pipe on the pepipoo site if you want to take a look. It's a bit scary if someone has deliberately cut it :(

 

Does anyone know what the "date of service of the notice" is?

Is it the date on which I received the PCN? Thanks

What do people think of the following draft informal representations?

 

I wish to make the following informal representations against the PCN that I received on 21 June 2018.

 

1) There was no contravention of a prescribed order.

 

The PCN states as follows:

 

If neither payment nor representations have been received before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of this notice, a Charge Certificate may be sent to the keeper which increases the amount of the full penalty charge by a further 50% to £195.00. If the Charge Certificate is not paid, the increased amount will be registered as a debt at the Traffic Enforcement (Bulk) Centre and a warrant may be issued for Civil Enforcement Agents to recover.

 

However, the above is legally incorrect.

I believe that a charge certificate cannot be sent to me before the end of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the PCN (rather than from the date of the notice).

 

The relevant law is under Schedule 1 to the London Local Authorities and Transport for London Act 2003 (the “2003 Act”), including more specifically paragraph 5(1) and 5(2) which state that a charge certificate can be served if the PCN is not paid and no representations have been made before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with “the date on which the penalty charge notice is served” (para 5(2)(a)).

 

Your legally incorrect wording means that you might send out a charge certificate to me after 10 July 2018 (this is 28 days from the date of the notice) whereas you are not allowed to send out a charge certificate to me until after 18 July 2018 (this is 28 days from the date of service of the notice

– I received it on 21 June 2018).

 

This is crucial because I am legally allowed to make representations until the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date of service of the notice (paragraph 1(3) of Schedule 1 to the 2003 Act).

 

However, I would be at risk of receiving a charge certificate before I had had the chance to submit my representations – for example, if I was going to submit my formal representations on 17 July 2018 (which would be within the 28 day period from the date of service which was 21 June 2018), by this time I might well have received a charge certificate as according to you, you can serve it after 10 July 2018 (which is wrong as mentioned above).

 

In addition, your legally incorrect wording means that I am losing out on 8 days in which I could have spent writing and submitting my formal representations as, in light of the illegal wording, I would have to submit my representations by 10 July instead of 18 July to avoid the possible charge certificate being incorrectly (prematurely) sent out to me.

 

Given that I am dyslexic, this policy puts me at a particular disadvantage compared with those who are non-dyslexic as I require additional time to read and digest what I am reading.

 

Therefore, the council is also in breach of section 19 of the Equality Act 2010 (indirect disability discrimination) in applying this illegal policy of sending out a charge certificate too early and thereby shortening the time within which I can make representations.

 

Furthermore, given that I only received the PCN on 21 June 2018, but I still only have 14 days from the date of the notice within which to submit informal representations, this has only left me with 6 days in which to read and compile my informal grounds of appeal rather than closer to 14 days had the PCN been sent out after it had been produced.

 

Again, the policy of delaying the sending out of the PCN is indirectly discriminatory under section 19 of the Equality Act 2010 for the same reasons as stated above. Please could you confirm the date on which the notice was sent out and why you waited potentially 7 days before sending the notice first class (assuming it was sent on 20 June 2018).

 

2) Other compelling reasons

 

I would add that this is the first PCN I have received in this council’s area and, at the time, I was dropping a colleague home from work, which I was doing as a favour.

 

In light of the above, I trust that the PCN will be cancelled.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hello

The deadline for the reduced fee is tomorrow. Has anyone got any thoughts? I thought it was the case that the council should respond to all points made in our representations rather than giving a generic rejection?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Oodly

 

 

Hello all again

 

We've finally heard back from the council...with a rejection. Please see the photos on the pepipoo website and any comments/thoughts would be much appreciated.

 

Many thanks
