    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was 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.

As promised in the Non Smoking Section of the Forum here's a piccie of my boxer pups born at Christmas - can't quite get used to seeing the tails LOL but they do look cute with them. They are wagging them now so god only knows what they gonna be like when they get up and going - I know my adults docked tails wag fast so have been out and bought shin pads in preparation LOL.

aww they are gorgeous

 

I know what you mean about the tails looks odd at first.

Our local vet held a fundraising day and there was a boxer there with a tail,but you get used to it,I couldn't take my girl(StBernard) with me as she was in season:o

I can't remember what it was now either a rotwiller or a doberman I saw during the summer with a tail. It looked very strange I had to ask the owner what type of dog it was.:o

Aww ty peeps - they are doing really well - eyes are opening slowly but surely - then the fun begins - gets me screwdriver at the ready to make the pen higher!

 

Do you breed your St. Bernard Mrs? I saw a pup in our vet - it was 14 weeks old and they were trying to get it to stand on the scales LOL it was sooooo big - I have enough job with my boxers on it so it was hilarious - this poor lad trying to get it to stand still.

Am I right in thinking that it's illegal to dock tails now?

 

My mutt wags his tail so hard he keeps breaking the end off it and sprays blood everywhere. It looks like Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the kitchen when he gets excited (he also looks a complete ****head when I take him out with a big comedy bandage on the end of his tail)

Hi RP

 

What breed have you got?

 

Yes you are correct - it is now illegal to dock their tails - was passed in March 2007 so we will see how it goes - I know what you mean about injury - I had a long conversation with my vet about this a couple of years ago and he said that it is very difficult when they are older and injure the tail to stop it bleading rather than having them docked when they are a day or so old. There are some exceptions if you can prove that the pups will be kept as working dogs then they can be docked I think but otherwise not. Must say am getting used to the tails now they do look cute but it is weird after 20 years of boxers with no tails to suddenly have them.

 

We will probably keep one of these so will have to clear all the low down breakables out of the way if my other two's stump wagging is anything to go by lol.

Hi Woodentop,

 

Yes I remember trying to get her on the scales:o we went on a monthly basis just to make sure she was putting on enough weight.We do not intend to breed her as they can have a huge amount of puppies,also I wouldn't be able to part with any of them,we would be drowning in drool.:lol:

Yes I have all the movies,my one knocked me off my feet and believe me I am not small (note to self should really join the Fatcrushers) and she wasn't fully grown,she used to like pulling me across the floor by the bottom of my trousers as well,since she has grown up a bit she no longer does that,thank goodness.But we do get a lot of fun with her.:)

Hi Mrs

 

Let alone sleeping in the shed!! LOL - Great film. We have so much fun with these two, one of them wants to play all the time and the one that has had the pups is more sedate - hubby says its like lady and the tramp with these two - they play so well together but the sedate one walks over to me when she's had enough of playing as if to say "Mum I've had enough tell her to stop" LOL.

 

Thats the big debate here at the mo -do we keep one - We have two already - they are twins - identical - its a good job these pups have still got their tails - I have 4 who are near enough identical can only tell them apart by the white bit on end of the tail.

 

Aww RP when we got our first boxer it was a choice between a Dalmation or Boxer and as I had grown up with a Boxer X I won LOL, Dalmations are lovely dogs tho.
