    • Hi. I am reading through the full thread and will continue to research. I have come across a reference to a form called N180 DQ in the thread, but I cannot see any reference to this form in my case nor can I see it on the MoneyClaim website. Should I have been sent this form? Thanks 
    • 12mph (beyond any UK limit) will certainly qualify for a Fixed Penalty. So you should received an offer of a FP for each of the remaining two offences. Be sure to submit your licence details as instructed when you accept the offer. If you don't your £100 will be returned to you and the police will prosecute you in court.
    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.

    • 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.

never write to a PPC - it just saves them £2.50 ! ALL the PPCs want written 'appeals'. goldringer's suggestion just saves them money and puts you on the PPC's active victim list. I Strongly advise that you do not do it.

Slightly off subject, has anybody seen trethowans solicitors new offices in Salisbury - they seem to make a lot of money doing what they do and I wouldn't mind betting a fair whack comes from their parking ticket division.

I have had a similar problem with the same company.

 

Several weeks ago i was in the souther general hospital in Glasgow on a bit of an emergency. I got a notice for not being parked in a designated bay.

I ignored the notice and received a letter.

I have since foolishly emailed trethowans to appeal as i was there in an emergency.They are saying that my email is "tantamount to an admission" and that it is "not imcumbent on them" to explain to my why my circumstances shouldn't be taken into account.

 

Should i ignore all future emails, and any letter from them?

 

I was back at the hospital yesterday and received another notice for being parked in a staff bay, which as far as i am concerned i was not.

 

Cheers

 

Chris

Cheers. That was my original plan.

 

Incidentally the arrogance of the email replies was outstanding.

 

If there is an award for "cheeky heartless bitch of the month" i know who it's likely to go to.

Hi all, I can do one better than the above Parking situations.

I received a letter from Trethowans (a letter type 1 -above), demanding £80 for an undisclosed parking offence at GR-Heston!

Well, if it's Heston services on the M4? then I have not been there for years and I can't think where else it could be either.

Anyway, at the time and date of the offence given, I was at home near Yeovil in Somerset!

The damned solicitors/ CP Plus Ltd are just having a laugh at our expense.

I suppose a few gullible motorists just pay up without thinking.

 

PS. is GR-Heston, supposed to be Gordon Ramsey or Gary Rhodes at Heston Bleumenthal? I'm sure it has to do with food in some way!

PPS I plan to report Trethowans to their regulating body.

Hi, looking for some advice, I got a parking ticket back in October last year at my local hospital, to my own admission i parked in what was half a parking space though i did buy a ticket and displayed it, on return i found a penalty notice for a £40 fine if i remember correctly it was CP Plus, i was angry at myself and obviously like most people visiting a hospital i was there visiting a sick family member and i though it was pretty low considering there is nothing like enough parking spaces to beds at the hospital!.

 

Anyway i found this forum and read through it and thought stuff CP and thre w the ticket away, then about 6 weeks later the first letter came through the post which went straight to the bin and then a second one just around christmas which followed its friend to the bin.

Now thinking this is all over and done with i get an unexpected letter just later week saying that if i dont post a valid dispute or make payment that the "client" NHS Stobhill Hospital will issue proceedings to effect recovery.

 

Should i respond to them ? or sit tight and not give in to it?

 

Thanks in advance

Appreciate it and thanks. Like most people I don't want to see my local NHS struggling but I feel they didn't show due diligence in ensuring there was adequate parking for visiting, after all family's are what aids peoples recovery's well in my opinion.

 

Thanks again for your response "crem".

Hi, I recently received a PCN from CP Plus and note with interest the comments made. However what I don't see is anyone shouting YIPPEE they are off my back. The PCN was for a Morrison - Sutton car park which has no charges just a two hour free parking facility recently kitted out with cameras and signage to say what the charges are for exceeding the 2 hours limit. Please could someone who has managed to avoid a similar penalty advise what I should do. Ignoring the letters seems Ok provided it works and someone backs that up with a positive out turn.

I would have started a new thread but seems easier to continue with this one.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

That is because once the ppc have given up very few bother to report back. You also don't see many Oh Sh*t they are taking me to court either.

There are lots of posters on this and pepipoo who have ignored these scams without consequences, I have ignored 33 so far and still waiting to go to court!!!

Hi All

Received today from CP PLus the PCN reminder to pay £90 or additional £40 payable. In the event that there is no payment:-

"Failuire to pay the full balance outstanding within 14 days of the date of this notice could result in the balance outstanding being registered as a debt against you. You will also become liable for additional costs and interest involved. Your ability to obtain credit in the future could be affected"

Is there any substance to the above statement? I don't want my credit rating affected!!!

How can I stop the nasty letters ?

 

Thanks again to everyone for replying.

You can't stop the nasty letters unfortunately. They're only nasty if you see them for anything other than they actually are - toilet paper.

 

Their statement is inaccurate and misleading. You would need to be taken to court AND lose AND refuse to pay in 28days to have your credit affected.

 

Note how they fail to mention that they'd lose in court anyway and that they have no intention of taking legal action against anyone.

 

could result in the balance outstanding being registered as a debt against you

 

That doesn't even make any sense. Tos*ers.

 

The whole process is becoming a common [problem]. See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8619407.stm

 

Identical process except they want £700(!). BBC need telling they're not fines.
