    • Thank goodness it's not your roof and you get to foot the bill! How big are these bits of mortar? How often are they falling into your garden? Hourly, daily? Just go ahead with your plans, of course, they're not going to be worried by your time pressures and the urgency of the situation, so simply carry on as you would have done and I'm sure everything will go fine. Unless there is a danger to life and serious structural issues which mean you cannot venture into your garden, then IMHO there is little more you can do less for what you have done so already and made them aware of the issue.
    • Hi all!   Thank you in advance for any help you can give me!!    I parked up (at 18:08) in a rush, entered my Reg and paid for an hour of parking. At 18:20 I got a ticket for not paying for parking.    I've just looked at my receipt and noticed why ... I put "22" instead of "21"  when i put in my Reg. yes... what a stupid mistake.    I seem to remember there being a court case or a rule change about entering the wrong reg but the company wasn't at a loss because i had paid for the parking just technically for the wrong car. Am i making that up?    Any advice would be gratefully received, even some key points i have to hit when doing the appeal      
    • You haven't returned to the thread to give us your views, but a couple of other things strike me which you should consider: 1. You say that at no time was your father's licence revoked by the DVLA. It didn't have to be revoked. It expired in September and his "entitlement to drive" (of which the licence provides proof) expired along with it. He could only continue driving whilst his application was being processed by virtue of s88, and it seems clear to me (based on what you have said) that he was not able to take advantage of the benefits provided by that section. 2. The letter he received threatening to revoke his licence was probably a template letter sent when any medical issues are brought to the attention of the DVLA. But it is clear that beyond September until it was eventually renewed, your father had no valid licence to be revoked. I believe a "not guilty" plea in court will fail. The basic facts are that your father's licence expired in September, it was not renewed until February because the DVLA were looking into his medical declaration and he could not take advantage of s88. So in December he had no licence and no entitlement to drive under s88. The facts that he believed he was fit to drive and that his licence was eventually renewed may mitigate the offence but they do not provide a defence. I also asked whether he had received a summons (very unusual these days) or whether he had received a "Single Justice Procedure Notice". The way to proceed from here differs slightly depending on what he has received so if you let me know, I'll advise further.  
    • Well, what I've read from various sources suggest if a CCJ is 6 years old that if becomes pretty much ineffective for enforcement purposes in its original form.  And that if it's about to expire then the claimant needs to apply to the court to extend the original CCJ within the final year.  Even if they do apply for an extension within the 6 years they have to have a very strong argument for doing so such as the person being out of the country or could not be traced, basically show they were actively still perusing the debt I guess. Now if a claimant ever does apply within the 6 years to extend the CCJ, would the person named on if be notified by the court that such an application has been made?.  In my case I've heard nothing from the court so assume no such application has been made.  The original CCJ in my own case is now a year beyond the 6 years of issue so must now make things even less likely again. So whilst the CCJ exists that they have not enforced it in that time must surely make it unlikely they can now take it back to court because as said it would be very rare for a judge to agree to such action now. That said, I guess they now can't use the CCJ to continue with any action for an attachment order to our mortgage either?

    • 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.

Indeed, Dave. Benign cookies have nothing to do with IE's comparative inability to protect you from online threats.

 

As CurlyBen quite rightly says, IE's ActiveX is a major - if not the single biggest - cause of unsolicited spyware / malware (and sometimes worse) getting onto your PC.

 

FireFox's code is fundamentally different. It is not that it has the same weaknesses as IE but deals with them better, but rather that it does not have these weaknesses to begin with.

 

It is simply a superior browser.

Quite right. If IE actually complied with the W3c standards, then I suppose it would be worth putting up with the security threats, but as it stands (and I'm told IE7 is getting closer to supporting the standards), for me at least, it's just not worth using. Not that I actually could use it any more, as I ditched Windows some time ago.

I only have IE installed for web development work, when I need to be sure my websites will look the same in IE as they do in real browsers.

 

It has to be said, for W3C, IE stands alone in the range of browsers as being the only one that often seriously mangles - or worse, ignores - standard code. I've never had to write patch code for any other browser.

Ok, have got firefox working, and got the CAG toolbar. What I haven't got is any of the buttons/options when I try to post a message (things like bold/underline/italics, colours, smilies etc). Have I done something wrong, or more to the point, what do I do to get them back.

I knew this would happen. Navigation and CAG toolbars are ticked. No google option to tick, but not bothered by that. Next, I thought I would look at the CAG bar, as a big red circle has appeared. It tells me I have not logged in, and to go to the options menu to log in. Entered my user name and password....nothing happens. So press it again and my password (all in xxxx's) is about 30 characters long. Still no buttons, and worse, the text is coming out like this (in one lock block) instead of the paragraphs I am typing. HELP

Go back to IE7. :-D

 

That seems like an inordinate price to pay.

 

loius wu, can you post a screenshot?

Why return to the nest once you've learned to fly?

Indeed. I personally don't use the CAG toolbar plugin, but I've just done a test install and it works perfectly.

 

It also seems to work perfectly for other users, and the thread for it reports none of the issues described, so it's rather looking like something unique to louis' system is causing this issue.

 

Perhaps a screenshot will help...

Hmm - have installed everything I was told to install and have just had the pop-up again when I logged on - any advice, anyone?

Search for Ad-aware free edition and install it. It used to work wonders for me.

Also when you are running CCleaner, Spybot and Adaware make sure they are the ONLY things running.

Close ALL browsers, e-mail and IM clients.

 

If you are still having a problem then reboot and run them again.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Should they actually stop the pop-ups from happening? Or just protect your computer from any adverse effects?

If you are getting this popup even when surfing CAG, which I don't believe uses advertising popups, then the problem is that you have something nasty running resident on your system.

 

The programs mentioned by CurlyBen and others should remove this issue, but may not take effect until after you reboot your PC.

I thought I had better have a look at this before moaning about it. Have managed (I think) to solve the problem by right clicking and clicking the 'allow cag' icon.

 

Simple for most, but really had me scratching my head. Still, all seems ok now, will persevere with the 'odd' layout (a few things in different places), and hopefully experience all the other benefits in time.
