    • Standard form being sent to large numbers of claimants. Just answer as the form asks.  No need to  go into any detail, unless the forms asks for specific details of how health impacts on daily activities. If you are worried contact Citizens Advice as they are experts with PIP, as they are trained to understand what evidence is required for assessments.
    • Resume payments with the debt collectors? You say not to pay dca though do you not? 
    • yes they mostly would be enforceable, but that wasnt the point. even if they get a CCJ the very worst they could have done is get a restriction k which is useless to them. doesnt hurt anything. the CCJ would remain on file for 6yrs yes, but then gone same as a DN. the rest k charge does not show at all. and even so, the idea was to get your debts issued a default notice ASAP, them RESUME payments.. the advise is NOT conflicting, just you don't read things properly or understand.  oh well. dx
    • This is the dilemma I had then and still have it. The bit that stopped me was the post 2015 comments about them being enforceable now in most instances which I feel hasn’t been answered unless I am missing something. the bonus I guess is not all credit agreements now will be chasing me so less people chasing me down so to speak. this is the problem as there is conflicting messaging out there it is hard to plan a strategic way forward 
    • In 2017 my wife was given PIP and I finally, officially, became her carer. In 2019 she was reviewed and we were told it would be done by phone to make it easier for her as she has mobility issues and anxiety. The review was very simple, Has anything changed? No, ok, we'll stay as you are then. In 2022 a second review, this time by phone again but with an awkward given at the end for 5 years. Today, we got a new review letter (I know wait lists are bad, but I dont think the wait will take til 2027 for a decision). We're a bit confused because it's a letter, not a phone call as before. The form is just questions that ask "has anything changed" Now, since 2017, nothing has changed except we had our home adapted via disability grant. This was noted in the phone calls. So we should really write that nothing has changed in the last 2 years. The adaptations have been mentioned in both previous phone reviews, but not in writing so I guess we should bring it up. But we feel that they want us to explain everything as if it were a new claim again... And are worried if we miss something in the original claim or the phone calls she will risk losing part of the award (a 2 point swing could be really bad) It does just say "has anything changed?" But in dealing with ESA prior to getting PIP, answering the question asked "has your condition worsened or improved" at a review process with a simple "no, I'm still the same" somehow led to ESA ending and needing appeal. So just want a bit of guidance. How much detail is needed? Is minimal ok? Or should we be blunt with the fact nothing has changed, and bullet point the things she struggles with in each section?   I know the obvious thing is to just explain it all,but over 10 years the sheer amount of times the poor woman has had ESA or PIP stopped/refused just because something was missed out in their report, or they felt it meant a new claim should be made, or that they judged her healthy because we missed a tiny thing in our forms. During COVID it finally seemed like it was all just going to be smooth, especially with the phone reviews and the 5 year reward, but here we are. We just want to make sure we have the least chance to trip ourselves up, but making sure we have what is expected if you get me? I wish I still had a copy of the forms from 2017, because I could just verbatim copy them and add in about the adaptation, but (ironically) we lost our photocopies we kept of them when the house was being adapted

    • 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.

Or is it o.k. for a member to post ficticious scenarios in an attempt to destroy the reputations of other posters? Especially when that member seems to despise the existence of CAG. If we all start to tell untruths on here, there will be no point in having this forum.

 

Surely is posting fictitious statements and blatant lying, not an abuse of this forum?

 

Surely the mods should take this very seriously?

Post 166 - Is that the same Andy Foster who last January made the unsupportable and unedified comment that our scheme had made 'dubious' claims?

 

Well we are still here Andy - over 1 year old and still functioning and with a 100% success record.

 

That's because we are the honest party fighting the dishonest ones.

 

Given that you see yourself as a leading light in the protection of motorists, I trust that this particular penny will drop one day soon and that you may be able to take a more appreciative and better balanced view in the future.

This bunch of cretins need to be crushed

 

In the meantime do you know that approx. 1/3 of all security guards, bouncers AND WHEEL CLAMPERS are operating without a licence

 

Anyone think that might be useful in some way;)

I'm away for a few weeks and this is what happens?!? Having read the latest posts, I suppose it is a disapointment to Mr Thomas, but due to the county courts and the balance of probabilities on a sliding scale, its not the same as a criminal court, so it can go either way even if a doubt is in question.

 

As for Mr Thomas, having to cough up the money has any one thought of offering assitance to him? couple of quid each maybe?

 

Well just goes to show though, PPC's will do anything to earn a bob or two, but by the time the monies are spilt with the land owner, if of course Perky decides to share in his "winnings" and the amount of time and effort put into this, im sure he'll have enough change left over for another bacon butty :)

Thanks

We've offered it for the appeal. They haven't been back on though, so I suspect they're busy sorting out an appeal rather than get into a slanging match with Perky the Clown.

'angry driver',

 

You stated in your original post that, to quote: "I will answer openly any questions you may have.", yet to date you have ignored many key questions asked of you:

 

Q1) 'Simon7685' - "I was wondering how you would know someone had read their PM's, I thought that is what they were private?"

 

Q2) 'Bookworm' - "How much profit is the PPC going to actually make from this?" - "what is the profit in it? In pounds? Doesn't have to be precise, a ball park will do."?

 

Q3) 'AI27' - "How much do you charge for a permit on said bit of land? Or are they freely given out by the church?"

 

Q4) 'lamma' - "As asked by someone else - but the question was soundly ignored. How on earth can you know that he read PMs ?"

 

Then your quote (post #160) states: "The reason for requesting the thread to be locked is nothing constructive can be added by any other party at this stage, with the exception of the other side." – this is not true, for I would very much like to know your answers to these important questions you have not yet answered.

 

 

Then in your post #154, you state, quote:

"Courts are not the place to bring actions just to prove a point, thats not a game we want to start playing".

 

and yet you stated in post #99, to quote:

"This case was NOT about the money, it was to show that parking charges (IF issued correctly with the correct signage etc..) are perfectly valid and legal DESPITE the 'park anywhere, get lots of tickets and screw them brigade' saying they are unenforceable invoices with the correct defence."

 

and again in your post #139, to quote:

"As for the money, this wasnt ever about the money it was to prove a fact that despite the best CAG/PePiPoo brains behind the defence tickets ARE enforceable and the courts do enforce them."

 

and again in your post #145, to quote:

"This victory is significant as its the one EVERYONE on here and PePiPoo said could never be done (ie, a good defence crafted by our experts will always see them off as all these tickets are unenforceable)."

 

and again in your post #154, to quote:

"We have already won a CAG/PePiPoo defence ... how many will it take before we prove it 2,3,4,50,100 ... We took on the Thomas case after it was clear that CAG/PePiPoo were involved .. we could have backed down and called the action off ... we didnt ... We saw it through to the very end and won."

 

This to me is all evidence to suggest that you are indeed out to simply prove a point and that you are playing!!

 

 

You also stated (post #145):

"What has been proved, and it cant be denied as it happend - The CAG/PePiPoo defence FAILED on all counts - it was stated in many many threads this could not happen and it did." - I would like to see the transcript of the 'defence' to know if this statement is true and correct before I simply take your word for it!

 

Then you quote (post #145):

"No matter what spin you want to put on it, the defendant is £250 out of pocket .. .he was off work for 1.5days (he obviously cant afford to be off work, to us it was a jolly - the money not important)" - This apparent gloating, in my view, simply does nothing more than enforce 'Joe publics' current general negative opinion of PPC's and further damages your own reputation.

 

Furthermore, from your gloating and confirmation that "Courts are not the place to bring actions just to prove a point", I'm sure, that in hindsight, the Judge may well now be wondering if he made a sound judgement or not! - and thus possibly damaging any defence you may produce against an appeal if one is indeed lodged!

 

 

Then there is your quote (post #128'): "The PPC wants this to goto appeal but so far nothing has been heard or seen from the defendant" - (another point to prove?) - I don't know if you’re a religious person, but with reference to the church site, it could be said that God does move in mysterious ways! - in other words your apparent assumption of success to an appeals process is by no means guaranteed.

 

 

I am very disappointed to see that angry_driver has not yet responded to my post.

 

There are obviously a number of 'key points' raised here that I, and I'm sure many others, would very much like to hear his response to.

I'm disappointed to see he said the best CAG/PePiPoo brains were behind this - I didn't get involved at all :D

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

I agree letshelp ....

 

In the past Legaladviser/Geronimoman have only been TOO quick to post their false and misleading victory (which we not know AS A FACT).

 

Their silence on this site and the PePiPoo one is something that is certainly noteworthy.

 

 

Still no response from angry_driver to my post(s)/questions, I see!

 

Talk about the 'pot calling the kettle black' - lol

Oh dear perky what will you do now:D

 

A woman who ran a car clamping firm which took thousands of pounds from drivers has been jailed for four years.

 

Rebecca Meakin, of Millers Vale, Heath Hayes, Staffordshire, was convicted of blackmail by charging motorists up to £300 to retrieve their vehicles.

 

Her company, Rowencroft Immobilisers, worked at car parks in Cannock and Worcester, Stafford Crown Court heard.

 

Judge Simon Tonking said regulation of the UK clamping industry was "far from rigorous".

 

He said: "The boundaries between what is lawful and unlawful are unclear.

 

"It is a most unsatisfactory state of affairs."

 

Her co-defendant Cameron Khan was jailed for four-and-a-half years for a number of charges, including conspiracy to blackmail.

 

YOU (perky) could be next;)

 

It's worth noting that the last time this happened was in Scotland & it brought about the virtual demise of the cowboy clamping industry North of the border

Clamping and removal was never done by JBW they are baliffs not parking contractors.

As you should know the majority of their work for Westminster was collecting unpaid parking fines but no more sad innit

 

Never mind they can always get a job enforcing dustbin regs

 

 

You seem to be confusing two completely seperate matters on street removals and clamping and parking debt enforcement. JBW has never carried out on street enforcement for Westminster or used their car pound in Park Lane.

However they are no longer one of Westminsters parking debt enforcers due to the Council moving away from balliffs and instead they use First Revenue Assurance to chase the debt prior to warrant stage which saves them half a million a year in TEC costs. JBW have recently been taken on by several other authorities to enforce both Council tax and traffic debts so are not going broke just yet!!

GM you seem to know a lot about JBW's business??

 

Anyway I doubt Westminster will be the last authority in the current climate to move away from the barbaric use of bailiff's

 

i'm sorry but what has any of this got to do with the oldham case?

I know a lot about many things lol! The move is purely financial the TEC charges to issue a warrant and the balliffs 'fees' do not get paid to the Council. Its therefore more cost effective to use a collection agency who trace and badger the debtor to pay prior to warrant stage by writing and tracing phone numbers for debtors and convincing them it will be cheaper to pay up prior to a warrant being issued. The saving in warrant fees alone is £400,000 per annum.
