    • all DYL's are subject to a TRO. looking at this newish, ever increasing as old ind units have gotten removed, estate, there are only lines on one side, on the other there is a parking lane with traffic calming through which you mention. i seriously doubt your mate has any clue what he is talking about.!! its not a private housing assoc estate. so its a public council owned road. no construction co can just decide to draw their graffiti on a road. the DYLs are certainly there pre 2016 even before his home was built. now ive had a quick look to see if the main access to royal park road has signs. there is no royle park road even on your map but there is a royal barn road which leads to where you are parked royal road has a restriction sign on the pole by the fence of the electric substation jnc with gipsy lane there does not appear to be one leading in from the other end - tesco petrol station
    • Hi All. I was driving in Stevenage down a 40 road after coming off the motor way, i noticed my car felt a little "weird" i accelerated, then slowed the car down.  Shortly after i got stopped by a manned police car with a laser. During the stop the officer stated i was doing 54 in a 40, the conversation was short, but he said i would unlikely get a awareness course and it was most likely 3 points and a fine.  Mrs thought it was a good idea to have dairy when she is lactose intolerant on date night, we just got on our way.  At the time, i didnt admit to the offence, but did say i didnt realise and had slowed down in any case. The officers chest camera was recording and on. At the stop, he asked where to send the fine to, as i knew i would be travelling to visit family up north, i provided my temporary details at that location in Yorkshire. It is now 05/05 and i haven't received anything at either my home address in Stevenage or the temporary address. 1. Is there a time limit in which paperwork needs to be sent to me. 2. Should i query the ticket as i don't want to miss any deadlines (if so who do i check with?) OR should i keep quiet. 3. Given nothing has arrived in 20 days, is there a chance of appeal if and when it comes through? Many thanks CrazeUK
    • Hi All. A family friends car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the begining of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, howver he said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online (i have a copy of this).  She didnt mention she hadnt recieved any confirmation as she didnt know if she would get one.  She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. She then was travelling up north so didnt get her ,ail until last week. She recievd a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehcile and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she respons by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i got her to dig  out the V5 and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped and is still on his forecourt. Is this possible to appeal?
    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.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.

Dear All

My ticket was the McD's at Stansted for apparently overstaying my welcome by 20mins!!

 

Been following this thread with great interest. I am now at the "£150 next step debt collecting agency" letter stage. Despite geting moments of panic and feeling i need to pay, i re-read the comments and they give me the confidence to do nothing, so still ignoring them!

 

Just so you all know, i have actually contacted the BBC's Watchdog programme on this matter cos' this is just wrong! They have replied and are very interested but as they are off the air at the moment, not persuing any cases. Can i suggest that you send in your MET stories as this may re-ignite their investigative enthusiasm! The journalist assigned to my case was called Michelle Cox.

[email protected]

Good luck and be interested to know if anyone is no longer recieving any letters or phone calls after the solicitor letters stage!!

i have recently had a MET letter through the door, from enfield retail park, charging me £50 for returning to mcdonalds within the 2 hour limit. i genuinly was using the faciltities and eating and drinking in the car park outside of mcdonalds. the images are very dark and you can't see anyone in the car, just one image leaving the car park and one image returning.

 

does anyone know what i can do about this? i don't know whether to ignore them or claim i cant remember who was driving? thanks :-)

 

First of all do not ever go to Crapdonals again, tell all yout mates etc etc, and vote with your feet.

Buy a flask and mak sum jam buttiz and go park up some where where there is no chance of gettin one of these so called penalties.

Do not contact them, do not pay and do not worry as Popeye the Sailorman has more power in his spinich than these clown av in thier pretend fines.

Av A New Year resolution ger on wi thi life and gioer mitherin.

You will probably get a couple of phone calls from GW once they realise the letters and threat-o-grams have failed as they seem to getting desparate

 

I just say that it is nothing to do with me and that I don't take un-solicited phone calls and hang up before they can reply

 

To ask how they got my number would be naive in this day of the big brother state

Go ex dir, stop sending out your phone number when you call and above all do not ever put your phone number down in a shop/Warehouse/ Wollies, cos they all go on databases and then you get mithered with junk phone calls.

I gave up giving my phone number out 1n 1994 and we may have had 2 junk calls in all that time.

My dad got a PCN from these cowboys for overstaying in MacCraps at Gatwick. He's very worried cos they've written again wittering on about "impact on his insurance"...blah blah. How can I reassure him that this will lead to nothing? He's worried about bailiffs etc even when I reassure him that these people are [problematic]! He wasn't driving the car at the time - he was on a flight from Dubai!

what , quote "impact on his insurance..."

 

can you scan that letter and remove personal details, be interesting to see what they are actually saying

 

but "impact on his insurance"... is a load of old twaddle from the planet perky

 

Perky is a well known muppet that tries to run a PPC, plenty of posts regarding his antics , just search for PERKY on the forumns

usual drivel, perky inspired rubbish about the insurance, totally misleading and so against Consumer Regs and probably the Fraud Act Section 2. plus fails to follow the BPA code. come on MET this is trash, can't you do better than this ??? !! meanwhile the OP should send the complaints to TS. MP, landowner papers, local interest websites etc etc your dad is rock solid safe, he was on a plane ! also remove the barcode from the PCN

they may ,typical scare tactics we may go to court, but they wont

 

no Court in the land would give them your details of insurance, because there is nothing in law that requires you to give them the details of who was driving, let alone who else is insured to drive the car,

that would be a very long list, hundreds of thousands of other insured drivers at least. and of course there is no such statutory requirement such as they claim. MET - you must try harder to be accurate and lawful, yes the [problem] doesn't work then but do we care ?

maybe they need to sack their script writer, planet perky rules dont apply on the planet EARTH dont they know that :D

 

Aren't we being a bit unfair here. Surely (not Shirley) they could be submitted for some literary award.

This and other sites are possibly having a noticible effect on MET's turnover hence the desperate measures of this latest [problem]-o-gram

 

After a couple of months they have started phoning (posing as GW) and still cannot take the hint. They seem for some reason reluctant to take it to court in spite of requests to do so or desist :?

 

Would guess as word spreads the PPC's may be forced to try their hands at the 'Peppipoo challenge' without the luxury of cherry picking cases they are fairly certain of winning. Should make their cash flow even worse and hopefully see a few go to the wall :D

Once a month, I park in the Car Park of a local Co-Op supermarket. I'm there to clean the windows of an adjacent cottage - I cannot park outside the cottage because the road is simply too busy.

 

There's no charge for the parking, and it's two hours free.

 

I have permission from the Shop Manageress - usually get finished about nosebag time, so usually end up buying a sandwich from the shop, anyway.

 

Quite a pleasant chap does the Car Park for a Company that has featured on here.

 

He tells me that most of his time is spent chatting and litterpicking, and he writes two tickets a week!

 

The Co-Op must pay to have him there, because I can't see how else it could pay.

 

Anyway, I was talking to him last visit, and he said that his employers are livid because the revenue has dropped so much recently, due mainly to this site, and advice given by that radio money man, Martin wotsisname, [not popular with us, because he also encourages people to sack window cleaners and do it themselves]

 

So turn the screws a bit more ladies and gents, it's hurting them!!

Looks like it's worked with my dad - he's now so scared he's going to pay it - what is it with these people - why are they allowed to operate?? Also has anyone ever received a reply from MacCrappies - I've tried twice with no luck - anyone got an e-mail address?
