    • Received the claimants Directions Questionnaire today.  Haven't had anything else through. N180_Redacted.pdf
    • Hi team, I should of really walked away when they said the vehicle had no v5 and I would have to complete v62. They only disclosed v62 form after all documents for finance was signed. However, I needed a vehicle as I was the only driver in my household and my sister was extremly ill and I had to take her to hospital appointments. I purchased a vehicle from big motoring world on the 31/06/24. After driving away the vehicle the very same day I could hear a very distinctive water sloshing noise come from the interior. I then decided to take the vehicle back to branch 15 mins after driving away. The manager came for a ride and said he could hear something but this issue was ‘minor’ and it was my psychologial thinking that made the issue even worse. Manager was very rude. I then took the vehicle home knowing full well it would give me nothing but grief. A day after the rear left tyre started losing air. I know they could say this was probably due to the driver however I believe the issue was present before purchasing vehicle. I called up Audi and my finance company and explained situation. Audi could accomodate me for the 13th for a diagnostic. Finance company told me to take to an independant garage and not BMW. Motonovo been helpful in this situation.  I took vehicle to Audi for a diagnostic. Unfortunantly, they done an Audicam and the technician somewhat resolved the issue without guidance from myself. No charge was applicable as this was a health check. However, I wanted the diagnostic. The car still has water inside. Audi are saying this is a common fault. However, I have no confidence in the vehicle. I have emailed bigassist with all my findings and commanded them to collect the vehicle. Audi shall also be sending me an email next week of the issues they discovered. This was issue pre exisitng. It is still below 30 days, can I still reject? Do i need to send a letter? I have been very direct to BMW that I no longer want the vehicle. please can we assist    
    • lies is all they have @dx to support their adoration of 'little feet'  like trump, farage and bad penny wannabe 'little feet' caligulas and neros, empty of anything worthwhile.
    • I bought my house 2 years ago. The previous owner had died. I continue to recieve parking fines and communication from DVLA in the name of the dead person, despite contacting DVLA via post to inform them I am the new owner of the property. I have sent them proof of purchase and ownership but the communications continue to arrive. Aside from using "return to sender", does anyone have any idea how to stop this and get DVLA to update their records? Not sure if relevant but the Tax class on the vehicle is disabled meaning that the price of vehicle tax is £0 per year. I assume someone is using this to get free vehicle tax which is up to them, but I'm bored of fighting with parking charge companies and getting threatening letters, as whoever is doing this is also not very good at paying for parking.
    • I haven't heard of them asking for photographic evidence in this way before – but I don't think it will really pose a problem. Have you got a history of sending parcels which were then lost and you had to claim for? When you send your letter of claim? Was the item properly declared? Was the item correctly valued? Please answer these questions and then take at least a couple of days reading very thoroughly the stories on this sub- forum. There are lots of them. Read some of the pinned topics at the top which will explain the principles and then read the stories to see other people's experience. Post up your letter of claim in PDF format so we can see what you sent.

    • 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 have reccently recieved in the post a 'Charge Certificate' from UKPC LTD demanding i pay £80 from an offence that occured on the 21-feb-09.

The letter includes a photgraph of the rear of my car, but with no time or date on the photo.

 

The incident was in a shared car park for residents and for shoppers for a aldi store. I am a resient at one of the flats, and we currently only have 1 permit which is used by my partner.

 

When my ticket was being issued i ran down to my car and explained to the officer i live there, how ever he said there was nothing he can do as he had already issued the ticket. At the same time I got a pay and display ticket from the machine.

 

I have read some threads about what people have done etc with this kind of thing, but everyone seems to have 'a disable badge' or a valid reason. I don't. Except that its ridiculous for me to go down every hour and put a new ticket on my car...where i live!

 

I really need some advice, so far im just ignoring the problem and hoping it goes away....is this the best thing to do, or shall I write a letter?

 

any help and advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your response Crem -

 

my letter says if unapid within 28 days they will forward the outstanding amount to a debt recovery agency....if i recieve letters from them do I just ignore them too?

 

Yes ignore them too. The DCA will send you a few letters threatening all sorts of nonsense to do with baliffs/credit ratings/CCJs etc... dont be bullied or fooled by it.

If you ignore them they will go away after 2-3 letters and that will be it:D

Debt collection agency = a private company like any other with no powers to 'collect' anything. They merely write threatening letters and depend on people's ignorance/fear to make them pay up voluntarily. Old ladies are perfect debt collection clients.

 

Don't confuse them with bailiffs.

 

When my ticket was being issued i ran down to my car and explained to the officer

 

Officer? LOL. You mean a trained chimp in a luminous jacket.

 

Every part of the [problem] is designed to add credence - from the guy on the ground to the scary paperwork.

My flat over looks the carpark and reccently when it was snowing the said trained chimp (his a regular here) was scraping away the snow which had covered all the white parking bay lines to see if people had parked over a line,(which is an 'offence') and was issuing tickets to nearly everyone, people couldnt move there cars as they were snowed in! - there such oppurtunist ****...!

 

 

Thanks again to everyone for there responses - has made me happy im doing the right thing by ignoring it! Ill keep you posted if they do send more letters... :)

I just thought I would post a quick question. I have been reading a lot of the posts on here and am pretty much of the opinion that I am going to ignore the notice issued to me but just wanted to run it by someone to see if I am right in doing this.

I recieved a notice when I was parked outside my boyfriends flat in a private resiential area. The management company have recently bought in the use of permits for parking here but we had not recieved them when the notice was issued as we were both away on holiday. The parking ticket said that the charge would be a completely different amount to the one that was then typed on the enforcement notice recieved in the post.

The address of the offense is also wrong on the enforcement notice. It seems to me that the company simply have no legs to stand on here - as they can not prove I was the driver of the car - even though there is a picture of the back of my car - they also can not prove that the car was in the stated location on the notice - which it clearly wasn't anyway.

Am I right just to ignore this notice? My Boyfriend receieved one also - his also has the wrong address on it for where the offense was supposedly committed. We both live in this property although I have only just moved in and so it just seems ridiculous.

I am a worrier - should I be worried or should I just ignore???

Would an appeal letter be a good idea or not?

Thanks for any advice

get the residents together and sort the management company out. A pound to a pennt the management company have forced this on the residents.

they failed to issue the passes so any invoice has no chance even if you signed up to the parking agreement - which you didn't I wager.

still tough luck on them. sort out the management company. you can bet they are on a cut of the money. they cannot bind you as third party to their contract with the PPC. tell them to FRO and do it collectively.
