    • @BankFodderHi, sorry I meant 31st May.
    • A knighthood has been announced for Alan Bates. He's been very modest about it, says it's for all the SPMs.
    • Your title suggest that you bought the car on the 31st of June 2024 which is at least two weeks away even if there is such a date
    • Received the claimants Directions Questionnaire today.  Haven't had anything else through. N180_Redacted.pdf
    • Hi team, I should of really walked away when they said the vehicle had no v5 and I would have to complete v62. They only disclosed v62 form after all documents for finance was signed. However, I needed a vehicle as I was the only driver in my household and my sister was extremly ill and I had to take her to hospital appointments. I purchased a vehicle from big motoring world on the 31/06/24. After driving away the vehicle the very same day I could hear a very distinctive water sloshing noise come from the interior. I then decided to take the vehicle back to branch 15 mins after driving away. The manager came for a ride and said he could hear something but this issue was ‘minor’ and it was my psychologial thinking that made the issue even worse. Manager was very rude. I then took the vehicle home knowing full well it would give me nothing but grief. A day after the rear left tyre started losing air. I know they could say this was probably due to the driver however I believe the issue was present before purchasing vehicle. I called up Audi and my finance company and explained situation. Audi could accomodate me for the 13th for a diagnostic. Finance company told me to take to an independant garage and not BMW. Motonovo been helpful in this situation.  I took vehicle to Audi for a diagnostic. Unfortunantly, they done an Audicam and the technician somewhat resolved the issue without guidance from myself. No charge was applicable as this was a health check. However, I wanted the diagnostic. The car still has water inside. Audi are saying this is a common fault. However, I have no confidence in the vehicle. I have emailed bigassist with all my findings and commanded them to collect the vehicle. Audi shall also be sending me an email next week of the issues they discovered. This was issue pre exisitng. It is still below 30 days, can I still reject? Do i need to send a letter? I have been very direct to BMW that I no longer want the vehicle. please can we assist

    • 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.

What you need to do is follow the original pcn appeal all the way through right upto the traffic penalty tribunal . Once the appeal has been won and the ticket has been cancelled you can then go after whoever you want to go after. Until the ticket is sorted you do not have a very good chance in fighting this. Speak to whoever you want on tuesday and then post back on here again.

Hi, Here is a copy of the letter i am going to send to the local council parking services, in reply to the NTO I have been sent.

 

 

 

 

Dear Sir / Madam,

I write to inform you that I was unaware that a Penalty Charge Notice had been issued to the vehicle for which I once was the Registered Keeper.

A Penalty Charge Notice was never handed to me or attached to the vehicle as required by Section 66(1) and Section 77 of the 1991 Road Traffic Act at the time of the alleged contravention described in the Notice to Owner.

I would therefore be grateful for confirmation that the Penalty Charge Notice / Notice to Owner will be cancelled.

Should you decide to pursue the Penalty Charge then I wish to put you on notice that I will require the following:

· The attendance of the Parking Attendant at the adjudication hearing in accordance with Section 6 of the Road Traffic (Parking Adjudicator) Regulations

· Copies of photographs of the PCN attached to the vehicle (please treat as a Data Protection Act request if necessary)

· Confirmation that the Parking Attendant recorded the tax disc details from the vehicle

· Copies of the entry in the Parking Attendant's Notebook detailing the issue of the PCN

· Details of the number of PCNs issued and subsequently cancelled due to Parking Attendant error in the last three years (please treat as a Freedom of Information Act 2000 request if necessary).

· Details of the error rate for the Parking Attendant claiming to have issued this PCN and the number of PCNs issued by this Parking Attendant which are not accompanied by photographic evidence (last 12 months)

I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this letter in accordance with the Council's protocols and procedures in dealing with communications from members of the public and advise as to the likely timeframe for your response.

Yours faithfully,

LATEST UPDATE

 

last week I received a letter from the council parking dept stating they wish to persue the ticket and are giving me a chance to go to parking appeal.

 

Tonight I had a visit from the local police requesting me to go in on wednesday for a recorded interview regarding thieft of the wheelclamp or criminal damage to a clamp.

 

I will be going to appeal for the ticket when I have laid out my case fully.

DON'T GO but if you do whatever happens refuse to make a statement until you have legal representation & try not to use the duty solicitor as he/she has a position within the system to consider. Get your own

 

Remember 99% of all convictions rely to a great extent on what the accused utters during interview

Give it a break. You do not need to have a breif present. As long as you answer the questions you do not have aproblem. Also the police when interviewing will ask you or tell you as they are questioning wether you can remain silent or you have to answer.

Of dear

 

I repeat do not go as a pound to penny they do not have enough evidence to arrest you but as soon as you open your mouth they may well have.

 

Also to attend an interview (even an invited one) where criminal charges may result without legal representation is very very bad advice indeed

I have a prepared statement IF i am arrested or cautioned.

 

 

Statement

 

 

 

I was invited to xxx Police Station to give my side of the story with regard to an alleged theft and criminal damage to a vehicle clamp. On arrival I was formerly arrested on this alleged charge.

I am therefore not prepared to say anything which may be used against me should this matter go to court.

I am prepared however to make the following statement regarding this alleged offence.

 

  • I both telephoned and wrote to Merton council informing them that my vehicle had been clamped illegally and gave them every opportunity to remove this clamp. This they refused to do.
  • I therefore removed the clamp without damage. I took the clamp, un damaged to Wimbledon Police station on Sunday 24th February 2008 at about 1 pm
  • The desk Officer, after going to speak to a superior Officer told me that they were not interested as this was a civil matter and they refused to accept the clamp. I therefore returned the clamp to the location where it had been attached to my vehicle, and informed the council.
  • I have since then been invoiced for this clamp, and other fees by Merton Council. I then took them to Croydon County Court on Monday August 11th 2008 and won a Court Order to have the alleged Parking Ticket put back to Notice to Owner stage and the return of my vehicle without cost to myself and cancelling any bailiff action.
  • I am very disappointed with the attitude of both the police and the council in this matter, as it appears that the police are not interested in the truth or the law, but seem to act only on council instructions with no regard for my rights at all.
  • I have a very large file regarding this matter that I will be more than happy to produce in court if required. I tried to show the police this before and they were not interested.
  • Needless to say I plead not guilty to both charges.

Yes, As they have already clearly demonstrated they won't be interested in the why only the how. In otherwords they will only be interested in the alleged crime ie criminal damage or loss of another property.

 

What you should have done was after advising them taken the clamp home for safekeeping not abandon it

 

& finally in your statement your admitting what you did thereby condemning yourself

Mate you are comitting suicide by giving this out on the forum. Also as a direct result of this you will be charged and get a criminal record. Do not take this letter 9in and do not post information which is easily recognisable. !!!!
