    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks 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 concenquences 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?
    • 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.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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

I was travelling along shaftesbury avenue london and wanted to turn left, there was not a no left turn sign but just a blue straight ahead arrow the car in front of me turned left so i asumed that it was ok to do so. Unfortunately i was filmed on cctv and was obviously in the wrong. I am a single parent student nurse and am struggling financially as it is does anyone have any ideas to help or do i just have to pay up???

It was truly a genuine mistake.

thanks

Can you post a copy of the PCN. It may be non-compliant and give you grounds for appeal.

Indeed - and ALL of it please. Host on 'tinypic'.

 

As I have a Westminster MTC one in front of me right now i can tell you that there are flaws.

 

On this type of PCN there is no facility for informal challenge. It's a one shot ;formal representations' situation - so important to know what you are doing.

 

Pics of location and all signage would help.

Hi

 

i have just checked the road maps etc.. I was driving down a one way street called BLOOMSBURY STREET there was a blue arrow on the traffic lights pointing forward and i followed a car in front that turned left into SHAFTESBURY AVE.

 

My PCN states.

The council believes that a penalty charge is payable with respect to the vehicle with the registration number shown above following an alleged traffic contravention:

FAILING TO DRIVE IN THE DIRECTION SHOWN BY THE ARROW ON A BLUE SIGN (PROCEEDING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION) IN SHAFTESBURY AVE???

 

Do i have a case seeing as they said that i was in SHAFTESBURY AVE???

thanks

It's hard to tell from google earth if that turn looks legal. I presume you were heading North on Bloomsbury St with a contraflow bus lane coming against you. The left turn into Shaftsbury Ave at the yellow box junction is more than a 90 degree turn and it isn't unusual for such turns to be banned.

 

Shaftsbury Ave clearly appears to be a 2 way street though, so your best defense may be to check the signage on Bloomsbury to see if the left turn is clearly signposted as not been allowed, then possibly to claim "the contravention did not occur" as I fail to see how there can be blue direction signs in Shaftsbury Ave as it is a 2 way street.

From what has been posted so far, there isn't a "no left turn" sign, only a blue arrow pointing upwards. These can be posted at any junction - they are not limited to one-way streets.

 

The meaning of this is "straight ahead only".

 

Ting is on the right lines - contest the validity of the PCN, rather than the validity of the reason it was given.

I got the PM re this corcoran.

 

You're not going to like this.

 

You have miscalculated deadline for discounted payment. Last possible day for payment is TODAY.

I can't answer your questions without seeing the PCN. I cannot advise you based on the version in front of me which was issued back in July.

 

You've asked again how to post it up. As has been said - host it on tinypic, it really isn't difficult.

 

On failing to follow the sign - i agree with others, probably nothing in it but again without pics can't really say.

On the location, possibly some mileage but what the PCN actually says and pics to show where you actually were are crucial. Hace you checked the video?

Hi

at uni. tomorrow have contested the pcn till i can see the video will post the PCN from there as they have scanners. would appreciate any help

many thanks

 

corcorans. There is no need for your case to be discussed in private. If you post here in the thread other members may be able to add their valuable input and other viewers in similar situations may benefit.

 

Is the video evidence not available on-line? Normally is.

Ting, its been reported that you are assisting users by pm.

Several threads appear to indicate this to be the case.

Using pms as a means to address issues/give advice should be restricted to essential info that cannot be viewed on the forums.

Users of the site are following threads and as well as learning,often can offer their own input which could help progress.

They cannot do this if advice and information is progressed through PM.

Additionally it confuses others.

Please observe site rules,one of which concerns this subject.

If you feel that there are valid reasons which can support your use of pms-then feel free to send Admin an explanation to support that assumption.

i'd love some reference to the other threads?

 

On this one perhaps you'd like to consider how odd your comment is considering what i've just done - i just clearly explained the same to the person who PMd me uninvited and i repeated the PM back to the entire forum. the OPs response confirms this! - How can you fault me when i've not just obeyed the rules but gone out of my way to help someone else understand? You've actually just explained to me exactly what i explained ^above^ to the OP???

If you have some doubt then perhaps you could confirm the facts with 'corcoran1' because you clearly haven't done so far.

 

i have only dealt with one case from here in private. There was a simple reason. The thread had degenerated into a slanging match with which i certainly wasn't initially involved. I PMd her out of concern and she said she had been disappointed in that state of affairs. For the record i slam dunked the case for her at formal reps stage. The only reason the result has not yet been publicised to other members with details is because she isn't currently available - i do not feel it my place to announce or describe that.

Actually i'm quite incensed with that! It is so inaccurate it's insulting.

 

I insist you either check with 'corcoran1' or via your software as to whether i have EVER sent her a PM? You prefer to listen to curtain twitchers do you?

 

I have now checked what a naughty boy i've been - NOT.

 

There are only 25 PMs if I include both in and out. 22 are discussing the weather or close to it! Just 2 refer to the case i mentioned above and one more refers to the same case where i confess to offering to assist with a case at the same location as the one already mentioned but this turned out to be unnecessary. i thought it reasonable to kill two birds with one stone and the circumstances of the 'deteriorated thread' case would have been the same.

 

If someone is referring to a post I made yesterday then clearly they and you either can't read or just don't trust - an element of both is needed on forums IMO.

 

I said to a member that i would PM them later yesterday evening. I made a post that indicated i could not discuss this because it was so serious.

I did not PM them but clarified something further, on the forum, which indicated my situation was only vaguely relevant.

As i said the matter is serious. Now, would your curtain twitcher like me to blurt out the details of such a serious issue that it will possibly be reported to the Police as a matter of deliberate fraud in public office or would they like to mind their own business and exercise that funny old thing i mentioned earlier - trust - or better still, concentrate on helping people.

 

If anyone would like me to post the entire contents of my PM in and out boxes please do ask!!!!

Ting's right you know....

 

Perhaps an apology is in order.

 

Probably not necessarily from the moderator but more a case of stopping the curtain twitcher jumping to conclusions.

 

Sorry adamna i did not see your post #16 because it took a while to compile #17. i wouldn't have posted further to complain if I had seen yours.

Well MARTIN3030!!!!

 

Maybe i should of been asked before you wrote such a nasty message on MY thread. I was unsure of the procedure of people checking threads and I thought I had to talk to Ting directly?? I got it totally wrong and I explained that on the messages for all to see and Ting did like wise and posted the message i sent.

 

Genuine mistake on MY part maybe you should take a leaf out of my book and apologise to Ting as he played to the book exactly.

 

Awaiting your apology to Ting on my message board.

LOL Leave it Collette. Another member has already told me they are rarely so gracious or big enough to apologise.

It ain't worrying me and the egg's not on my face! LOL.

Shall we move on.

 

I hope i'm not doing something wrong but i can only get one image out of that link? i need to see all of it.

 

Two errors so far. One just a bit misleading and inaccurate and the other serious and a potential winner. I need to see the rest before I explain it.

 

On tinypic - use the URL that says 'IMG for forums ---etc.' and copy the whole line. Paste here and the image will come directly up rather than producing a link.

 

Much lerv innit. (to evreyone! LOL)

I too received a PM from the OP and I responded much as Ting did by inviting the OP to post on the open forum so that the collected wisdom of all can be collated and used.

 

I think it is a bit off for a Mod to have a go at someone helping via PM.

 

BTW although I recommend using the open forum there are times that I will respond to a PM with advice - usually if there is a PPC involved - given the trawling that goes on. I'm not going to stop that practice - although I may use an alternate medium such as a public webmail account.

 

I heartily endorse Ting's actions and suggest that an apology from Martin3030 is in order.

'corcorans1'

 

I hope you haven't been put off by that debacle. Worried that you are not posting further.

 

As I said, there is a flaw on the PCN (potentially enough to win) but I could do with seeing the back as I said.

 

Please don't be upset by previous posts, neither of us has done anything wrong and I am happy to help further.
