quick question I have for anyone reading this before my case today: Railway byelaw 14 is the following: "for regulating the use and working of, and travel on or by means of, railway assets, the maintenance of order on railway assets and the conduct of all persons while on railway assets (the “Byelaws”)." Taken from this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/4202/railway-byelaws.pdf What validity does the fact that the road is classed as a public highway, therefore railway byelaws are not valid here? Network rail confirms crossing is public highway. Not a private road “private road or path” means any length of road or path to which the public does not have access. Link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1992/42/section/56 Or does clutching at straws come to mind?

Sorry have not updated this thread in ages. 2nd court appearance today at 2pm, as we ran out of time on my first appearance before my case actually started.

Well I contacted wonga when the whole FCA thing came out saying that they had lent me money when I couldn't afford it and they had defaulted me and sold my debt on. I asked them when they defaulted me, who owned the alleged debt and that they should take the default off. The default is registered on callcredit still under Wonga and under Experian it says "Not recorded"! I got back a few automated emails, then another one generated saying they were looking into it. I left it for a few weeks and then prompted them, didn't hear anything back. Two months later I sent them a formal complaint and never heard anything about it. I waited 8 weeks and then laid a formal complaint with the FLA as Wonga are members of their association, as well as the FOS. Within a few hours I got a reponse back from Wonga (The subject had a unique reference in that I gave to the FLa, so I know they forwarded my complaint on to Wonga. Wonga claims to have sent an email to an address I have not used in nearly 4 years when registered with them, that email no longer exists and bounces if you send it an email. Despite the fact that I had emailed them 4 seperate times in the last 3 months asking for an answer from my current email address that they responded to initially and then ignored! In this email, they claim to have instructed the CRA's to remove the default. This was in December 2014. checked today and the default is still showing, so called them out on their lie and demanded to have it removed immediately. Will see what happens. Glad i reported them to the FOS.

What's funny is when the same DCA send you 3 letters in the same week for three alleged debts asking if you are the person they are looking for "an important personal matter"

Cash Genie ends lending activity
UKDomains replied to Nao's topic in Cash Genie and associate companies
I just got the same after using them about 4 years ago last. -
Already did that the day I got wind of the NIP being sent (it was sent to my work as a fleet car). Their photos were taken 2 months after the event!
-
Hey all, case adjourned until 24th March! Will update tonight when on laptop, just got home.
-
Hah, I'm so nervous would love something stronger. But as I'm driving that won't help my case at all. Lol.
-
Argh. Arrived at court at 10 as requested to be told to come back for afternoon court.
-
well I'm off to court in half an hour. Discovered when looking at the "evidence" photos sent to me by CPS, they're wrong. Taken from the wrong direction. Dont know if this has any relevance. Going to be arguing the ambiguity of the signs involved, as well as mens rea.
-
I have also requested the Train driver be present to be questioned. He stated various things in his written statement which I know to be untrue, embellished and also the fact that he gave his statement more than a month later I would argue his statement might be over-embelished.
-
Hi All, Sorry have not updated this thread in ages, been so busy with work and have been away for some periods of time as well. I have to attend court tomorrow. I'm just going to take everything said in this thread and push on the fact that the signs are confusing and go against what British Transport Police actually expect each and every driver to do.

Also more importantly, get control of your domains, registered in your name. Also you can automate daily backups so you always have your own backup.
-
What keeps on getting to me is that each time I get something from them, the charge changes.
-
Who do I speak to to find out status of that road? Local authority?
-
Bazooka thanks I was thinking that, but didn't want to create any Criticism. I will get my thoughts together and summarise everything shortly
-
Just updating this thread as something has happened: I've been summonsed to appear at magistrates on the 28th of July. Alleged offence: Failed to comply with road traffic sign Contrary to: Byelaw 14(1) and Byelaw 24 made under section 219 of the Transport Act 2000 by the strategic rail authority and confirmed under schedule 20 by the Secretary of State for transport on 22 June 2005. I know it's lawyer time now... But HELP! I don't think I have money for a lawyer Any place I can get representation that wont make me bankrupt?
-
Thanks Aretnap, the capital A worked. You ask if the signs were adequate: I suppose so, seeing that each one were meant for large/slow moving vehicles. Except I was in a car.
-
Aretnap, your link says file not found?
-
The road is not only used to reach the farm, in fact don't think it's still a working farm, couple of businesses and houses along the road. First time I used the road. Road leads to another A road. You leave an A road, cross the crossing, drive past farm buildings and businesses and houses and reach another A road at the end of the road (Heath road)
-
I have spoken to a solicitor who gave me a free 20 consultation. We hadn't discussed the implication of it being public highway, as we did not know I was being charged under transport & works act until I asked on record what am I being charged with. There was not much point in having a lawyer present at the interview,the police were looking for either a caution or sending it on to CPS. I would benefit more having one at court, which is why I'm trying to gather as much info as possible to give to lawyer if it goes to court.
-
According to this website, it is classed as a Public highway http://www.abcrailwayguide.co.uk/heath-farm-level-crossing-3298

The PC stated on the record that he believed on observing me on two occasions now, that I am level headed and that my statement reflects what the train driver stated and he believes that I did not ignore the signage on purpose and that the signage caused confusion
-
Meant to say the PC was sympathetic and said if it goes to court it should be brought to magistrate's attention by solicitor about what implications a conviction would mean to me. UK border agency take a blanket view of ANY caution/conviction as automatic 3 year ban on applying. Now what is confusing me is that according to my NIP, I'm being charged according to road traffic act, but I'm actually being charged under transport and works act. Can they change that without the NIP being changed? The train driver's statement mentioned that he saw my car's bonnet (I drive a high SUV) waiting at the crossing and he applied emergency brake and stopped past the level crossing as he thought I was going to cross in front of him. He secured the train and walked back and wrote down my car reg as I was driving away from the level crossing. In my statement I mentioned again all the signage in the area stated in Highway Code that it was applicable to large/slow moving vehicles and that the large red and white rectangular sign was not found in the Highway Code, but rather the office of rail regulations and that this ambiguity of the signage caused confusion and not allowing me to act accordingly.
-
I've just had my official interview under caution, tape recorded. I am not being charged with anything that was originally stated in the NIP, but rather under section 55 Transport & works act: failing to comply with a sign (the red and white rectangular stop sign) The PC who conducted the interview said to me afterwards if it goes to court I should bring it to magistrate's attention what implications it would have on my citizenship application.
