    • sorry but that letter needs to be much much better. you need to express that it was a stilly youthful mistake trying to be the big man and jumping the turnstile to look big infront of your peers. TfL prosecutors are on the email address on their first letter. get the court form sent back to the court , (but copy it first) stating you plead guilty and wish to attend to address the judge in person face to face to show your genuine remorse for your stupid youthful exuberance.      
    • I thought I should send the begging letter to the prosecutor. Does the hearing means the time I need to send back by? If so, it’s June 5  I plan to send the new begging letter as following, can I ask for some suggestions? Dear Investigator/Prosecutor,  Thank you for your reply. I deeply regret my actions and the inconvenience they have caused.  I’m extremely remorseful for my crime. and regret it everyday. I often ask myself ‘’how can I do that thing just because I felt it is interesting. There are a lot of crimes in the world, but feeling it’s interesting is certainly not a reason to crime. I should not crime with any reason.’’ I think about these things every day, and I understand that I can’t blame anyone but myself.  I thanks to the staff who stopped me, as this is a valuable lesson in my life. I told myself that I should never ever repeat such a thing again, and never ever do anything which is possible to be in breach of any law. As a result, I carefully tap my oyster card every time before I enter the station now. I remind myself that I did a wrong thing before, and I should never let it happen again.  Although my monthly travel expenses do not warrant a season ticket, but I just renew my season ticket (please see the attachment). I understand that a crime cannot be truly compensated for, but purchasing a season ticket offers me a small measure of comfort, knowing that my actions caused a loss to the public interest.  I received an email which ask me to negotiate being class teacher in this summer (please see the attachment). I hope that I could teach the lovely students again, which may not be allowed with a criminal record. I would please ask that you would please provide me a single opportunity to settle all outstanding sums owed outside of court without the need for legal proceedings which would have a determinantal impact on my teaching career.  I sincerely apologise again for my crime. If you need anything further from me to help you please let me know.   Yours sincerely,
    • LoL Dx you crack me up. Thanks for the advice. I'll stay positive.
    • Utter Rubbish!! lowell dont write and beg for deals once they start court. as for your attitude, we'll thats nothing new for you.😎 you wont be quizzed, it's not like TV, simply refer to your defence/WS when answering anything the judge may ever ask. well it involves chickens. dx  
    • Thanks fk, I hope I don't have to face the court. Bless you for the reassurance.

    • 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.

hi all

i am just after some advice.

i received a parking ticket when i parked in a "goods vehicles loading only" bay.

i drive a mini.

i was dropping some things off at a local estate agent and not shopping.

it was parked on linden gardens, chiswick.

i thought that as it was a loading bay, parking would be permitted. however, i received a ticket as according to their records - "23 parked in a parking place or area not designated for that class of vehicle"

do you all think i could justify that i was using it as a loading bay?

many thanks in advance

Apart from the same contravention what has this got to do with this particular case - which has a specific timescale to follow and any interruption would confuse the matter?

 

I suggest you start a thread and you need to show the documents received (for me at least).

 

hounslow i take it? PCN via CCTV or direct?

i am sorry what do you mean by the 1st paragraph? (i am new to this site)

should i move it elsewhere?

documents received - a ticket in the post (via CCTV),

then i appealed stating that i was delivering goods and alleging the bay is too narrow, and this followed a notice of rejection which now gives me 28 days to appeal (or 14 days to pay at reduced rate)

thanks for replying so soon

any tips are appreciated

also, do let me know if i should move this thread.

cheers

Ah. sorry about any confusion. I could have sworn you originally tagged this onto another thread. Maybe the title confused me. my apologies if mistaken.

 

Assuming it's Hounslow, then CCTV PCN is largely and probably sufficiently compliant with the law (many aren't).

 

What exactly were you dropping off? virtually any vehicle can be considered a goods vehicle but it is the circumstances and nature of loading that matter.

 

It would be useful to see the rejection letter. That may be flawed and always useful to see what exactly they are wriggling with.

Chudies. i hope you saw my apology for my mistake above.

 

As lamma says, your car can count as a goods vehicle. It boils down to what exactly you were loading/circumstances at the time.

 

Signage and road markings can also be relevant if they are not compliant.

hi there.

i am a little confused, as some say the mini is a PLG vehicle but if i was loading something, then i could say it was a good vehicle

what do people think

i was unloading a box and some keys. however, i did neither as the estate agents was shut.

all i did was park the car, grab the keys from the boot, go and see the estate agent was closed, so got back in the car, and drove off. this can all be seen in the CCTV footage. maybe a matter of 2 mins if that.

do you think i could justify that i am classed as a good vehicle?

cheers

It would help if that box was quite sizeable - ?

Entirely reasonable when arriving at a delivery destination to get out to check they are ready to receive it.

any records of this delivery being due to be made. Did they request it or any receipt for later delivery maybe?

- and as I said, signage and road markings may help you if they are not compliant.

no records, as it was something i needed to drop off

the box was heavy but small enough to fit into a mini!

i did suggest they were not compliant, and they wrote back that there were compliant with Directive 2002?

are they just trying to call my bluff?

this is the thing that might have me.

by stating "commercial vehicle only" - do you think they are covered?

i have gone beyond the 14 days, so now it is £100

so i will i might go to PATAS with it

in the past, they have dropped it (when i got my last ticket as they "said" they put up a suspension bay, but they didnt. when i send i would go to PATAS they dropped it)

I don't think so. Define "commercial vehicle"; it's not possible in the parking sense. Was this term on the signage, or quoted by the Council in their rejection?

Normally, a TRO will state a class of vehicle (like a licence class) or a weight limit.

"Directive 2002" ? they must mean the TSRGD - councils ALWAYS say they are compliant with it even when they clearly are not. Picture of the signs and road markings please.

 

Ditto - as requested.

 

In answer to the question - possibly - 'trying it on' for that particular subject is commonplace IME.

 

Also note. you do not go to PATAS at this stage. You first have to make formal representations against the Notice to Owner when it arrives.

hi all, i at PATAS this sat, and thinking of just paying the damn ticket off.

the sign did say "good vehicle only"

since i was in a mini, i have a feeling i will not be able to contradict the council.

what do you all think?

many thanks

sorry some of you asked for pictures. please could you let me know how i can do that?

If you look at your logbook - you will find your car is a Private/Light Goods.

There have been cases argued at Patas this way. Sometimes the councils will wait till the last minute before withdrawing.

Having come this far why don't you see it through. If you were genuinely loading or unloading goods then I think you have a case.
