    • Thanks DX,   I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week
    • Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have.
    • go do a Direct Debit Guarantee Clawback to your bank if you've now got control of his bank account finny.
    • Hello, Just to check I understand things right, he moved to a nursing home, you then kept paying the rent for a period of time whilst you sorted his belongings. You have asked to give notice and asked for backdated payments of rent from when you first asked which went ignored? They are still taking rent payments.   Have I understood correct?   If I've got anything wrong please correct me.
    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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. !!!!
