    • 1 Date of the infringement 29th May 2023 2 Date on the NTK [this must have been received within 14 days from the 'offence' date] 2nd June 2023 PDF scan done Redacted and Attached 3 Date received 8th June 2023 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?] No, not directly but has some wording about transfer to keeper 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes, Entry and Exit times 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] Yes, Panicked thinking JustPark had not updated Alliance with payment details HOWEVER not revealed the driver id Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up I think so (very brief email, saying appeal failed, due to OVERSTAY of 17min) 7 Who is the parking company? Alliance Parking 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Harlyn Bay, Cornwall For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. IAS   This PCN is similar to @Kahunaburger in that it was a bank holiday weekend and car park was rammed. It was a very hot day, and we were first time parkers in this car park (not knowing the Alliance ANPR Scam in play). We entered the car park looking for our friends who were 2 mins ahead of us. As the car park was in overspill mode there were 2 other fields open and after doing a circuit gave up looking and after a few more mins trying to find a space parked up on the grass at the top of the field. N.B. There were no signs anywhere near us. We had to unload the kids, dog and beach bags etc .. and most importantly water the dog as he was so hot. Then made our way across the fields to the parking machine. As it was so busy there was a big queue, so attempted to book with justpark (which took an age getting a signal). Eventually paying for 4 hours. Upon leaving we were notified by Justpark that our time was up so proceeded to make our way back to the car, and within 6min had left the car park. So it was 11min to make the booking on JustPark and 6min after our 4hr time was up.   On 5th May 2024 we got a Letter of Claim and decided to post up here .. As for next steps, we guess from others post on this forum we understand we need to write a "Snotty Letter" with a few key points. Has anyone got best advice? otherwise we'll cobble something together from others posts. AllianceParkingScam-NTK+LOC-Jun23.pdf  
    • The return to principles-based regulation? Eric Leenders on Consumer Duty, AI and the wider economyView the full article
    • Hi, New to the forums (but can see I will become active). I recenttly changed fixed line/broadband suppliers. They are not that cheaper than my incumbents were. However, I foudn out their service levels for technical support are woefully inadequate. Basically business hours Monday to Friday and Saturday morning. I had an issue where I lost all aserve (phone and broadband) on Sat eve and they did not pic up the ticket untiul this morning 9am (Monday), and they say between 24 and 48 hours before will get in touch. So, between 2.5 and 3.5 days I will be without service - add a day if this happened on a bank holiday weekend. I purchased it online from a reputable comparison/switch site, and there was nothing to indicate such poort SLAs, nor easily found on the web site of the provider. In fact, their out of hours recorded telephone message states that one can get support 24 hours on their website, which turns out to be their FAQs. I will go through ther T&Cs foresincally, however, assuming they contain the service level agreement (buried in there at section 10, it looks like), do I have any rights. I would like to void the contract without having to pay it out because they do not meet the standards one would (or shoudl) expect of a Telco without making it obvious before purchasing. I know there is a 14 day cooling off period, but, especially with the reliance on broadband (and the fact I live in a rural area, so the alternative of mobile boradband is not practical), there would be an obligation for the supplier to be very clear of the SLA?   I know I can try an OFCOM ombudsman, but would like to understand my legal standing before I try.   Kind regards, JA  
    • Because it's 5pm. My case is tomorrow morning. I'd be lucky if they take it now....so I'll probably still have to change it.... Here is that page that was missing.  If there is any other way I can help please let me know. Super grateful for the help I received! Do you know if I must send my Witness statement to the other party as well or just to the court? THanks! FIRST PAGE OF WITNESS STATEMENT.pdf

    • 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.

Yes, I am in a bad mood and I haven't even left the house yet. Sooo this thread will serve as my own little rantathon - feel free to contribute!

 

Daft things people (usually parents) say and do

 

When telling someone you are going on holiday, they ask if you are going anywhere nice. Errr, well actually I was looking at Barbados but settled on two weeks in some prison cell in North Korea.

 

On a cold day, what exactly is this benefit your mother/granny keeps telling you of re. scarves / coats?

 

Going out on a cold day with a T shirt and a scarf on. What's that all about?

 

Why, as soon as the temperature drops below 17 degrees ©, do people immediately dress up as though we're in another ice age? What are they going to wear when its cold?

 

When saying one is going somewhere (e.g, butchers), you are asked why. Errr, I'm going to the butchers to buy some wallpaper.....

 

Inni(t)

 

Why oh why do people with umbrellas not put them down when under shelter or even when its not actually raining?

 

When you've found something, of course it was in the last place you looked. You wouldn't carry on looking for it if you have already found it! Stop saying it!

 

Breathe in - hold aaand out. Ahhhh! Rant mode off!

LOTI it's like when you're out for a meal and after you've finished somebody asks you if it was nice... "Errr no it was disgusting but I just sat here and ate it all regardless..."

oh god this is gonna be one long thread. Rite here i go.

 

ppl who move about an inch when u are trying to get threw with a buggy cant they see it will need to be more or do they except the wall/ aisle teh other side to just disappear.

 

ppl who dont turn there indicators off. so when i am walking up the road to meet son from school you think they are going to be turning the next left/right but they go straight on.

 

bloody idiot male drivers.

LOWERED paths are not there for you to parking front of. thre for ppl with mobility scooters and wheelchair nd buggys to get down the path easily and dont u dear think u will be getting out of the parking ticket u got for parking there.

 

useless polic officer.

got broken into over christmas 2005/new year 06. still to this day the police have not told us they have convicted the person that broke in. His brother told us he walked onto a police station and admitted it.

 

shop assistants.

you bloddy work there so dont go asking ur customers where the item is on the shelf

 

old ladys with those stupid trolley things. Its a wheelchair and buggy area on the bus just cause ur old and have a trolley it does not mean u have the right to sit there.

 

Ignorant company.

they fail to follow the oft guidelines on debt recovery because they dont communicate with the appointed person. They continue to chase for money that is not owed and never was owed. they continue to chase for money even thought docs have been produced to say money was not owed, told use we have frauded the docs-there word not mine, told use unless we give them a phone number they are going to prosectue us cause we are hampering the process of obtaining there money. Telling me the CCa1974 does not exist.

 

Taxi companys.

they lie to u the take the longest route to gain more money and they are bloody ignorant. dot help u with the shopping and demand they are paid b4 u take the service. Charging u more than they can. then when u have been waiting and hour still expecting full pay.

People with buggys (present company excepted of course) who think they have a God given right to walk wherever they chose and expect everyone else to avoid them. Buggys are commonly known as battering rams in this house.

 

Agree entirely about the stupid trolleys on buses, even more so when they sit in the 'priority seats' with the d**n things next to them, and God help you if you ask them to move it.

 

People who leave their shopping in the bus aisles totally oblivious to the fact that you need to get past and not everyone can step over it.

 

Every impatient person who has ever been walking behind me and either doesn't notice or doesn't care that I can't walk any faster.

 

On a more positive note, thank you to the very kind secondary school child who gave me his seat on the bus on Monday. You proved that not everyone in this town is an inconsiderate sod.

Every impatient person who has ever been walking behind me and either doesn't notice or doesn't care that I can't walk any faster.

 

Every slow person who hasn't noticed or doesn't care that I'm desperate to get past them and who won't move to one side to let me get past! :)

 

People who can't or won't think outside their box. They've "got to follow the rules"... Example, you need to go to the bank to get cash without your card (wrong coat / "borrowed" by family member - whatever). Instead you've got

  • your passport (proof of signature and photo id),
  • a mini statement with your signature on it (because you got it from the counter and not an ATM)
  • a full statement.

You finally get to the counter and the cashier tells you "I can give you cash with this proof of ID if your card is lost or stolen but otherwise I can't". WHY THE HECK NOT! If it's good enough if the card's been lost / stolen how come it isn't good enough when you're temporarily separated from your card?

 

Unreliability - People who say they'll do something by a certain time and then don't. People who "move the goal posts". People who cancel meetings after I've already left to get to said meeting!

People who don't understand that my time is valuable to me.

Queues - has any one else noticed that we spend huge parts of our day in queues? Post Office - 1 hour queue - 1 counter open throughout the 1 hour wait, 1 counter open part of the time and 2 counters firmly closed.

Repeat Prescriptions - If I've got an on-going condition why can't the doctor write one prescription that can be repeated three times without him/her having to re-authorise it? It necessitates two trips - one to the surgery and then one to the chemist 48 hours later each time the prescription is repeated. My way there'd just be one trip to the chemist. Saving doctor's time, journey time /car wear & tear /my time.

My local Tesco - where they're short-staffed. As a result staff are continually being taken from stacking shelves to man the tills and the shelves are empty!

Government interference - I think I'll lose it completely if I start on that!

Litter - please take it home with you or throw it in a bin.

Todays bone of contention.

 

People who use a lift to go up or down one floor. I work on the 8th floor and I'm forever waiting ages for the lazy swines below. I don't mind if folks have a health-related reason that they need the lift but the vast majority of the employees are just fickle, lazy idiots.

Just thought of something else.

 

Why oh why does no one ever visit when you've just finished cleaning the lounge, but only when teenager no 1 had friends over last night? Said friends (not teenager of course!) having left their pizza boxes, empty glasses and squashed beer cans everywhere, the dogs been sick on the mat from eating left over pizza and booze, I didn't get to sleep until 3 am because of the noise and I haven't even got dressed never mind looked in a mirror.

Six hours and plenty of nagging (and help) later, and the house is tidy but expected guests phone to cancel 45 minutes after they were due to arrive.
