    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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.

No, the charities don't always get it right.

 

My parents wanted a dog and we at first saw one at dogs trust that they applied for. There was no problem, house was vetted, they're pensioners so dad could take it lots of walks, their dog had died so they had loads of experience. But Dogs Trust messed about for about 2 weeks with various queries and we eventually lost patience and went to the local RSPCA. They found a dog, the RSPCA lady vetted their home the same day and we got the dog the day after.

 

Whilst I appreciate people have to be checked out if you make it too difficult people will go elsewhere. There needs to be a happy medium.

 

The local cat rescue charge £70 for a cat which is fair enough for most of us but when my Grandma who was a pensioner wanted one, they wouldn't reduce the charge. We paid in the end but I wonder how many pensioners are put off by that whilst cats are needing homes?

Hi Elsa

 

Good news about the forum:)

 

I'm OK. It's 2 weeks today, can you believe it. I'm expecting Missy's ashes back today. It's been really hard.............. I just wish she had a bit longer with me to know she was loved and very much wanted. Never mind:(

 

Her foster carer emailed me yesterday - she had just found out what happened. They took 2 weeks to let her know:-?

 

Makes me think that if there was more communication between them regarding Missy's health then things may have been very different. We'll never know.

 

Thank you for your help and support at the time, I really appreciated and needed it.

 

Cassie

Hi Everybody.

 

Just to let you know I've got a new dog.:grin:

 

Her name is Hattie. She is a cross German Shepherd/Husky and is absolutely beautiful:D

 

She was a stray and was rescued from a dog pound where her time was up:(

I got her from a dog rescue in Kent as she was on the "Golden Oldies Dogs" website. They think she's approx. 9 years old but my vet doesn't think she's more than 6/7.

I got her the Sunday before Christmas so we've had a great time in the snow - she absolutely loves it:lol:

 

I'll post some pictures when I work out how to download them from my phone:confused:

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

(2 AND 4 LEGGED:lol:)

Very glad to hear it, bet she's the luckiest dog alive (apart from mine, currently snoring curled up next to me on the sofa, lol). I hope, no, I KNOW that she will help you overcome your sadness and will become your best companion for a long time.

 

{{HUGS}} to the 2 and 4 legged ones! :-)

 

PS: German and Husky? WOW, can't wait for the pics!!!

She is soooooo GORGEOUS:D

 

She has the colourings of a German Shepherd but the figure of a husky (and the tail:lol:)

 

She is a teddy bear.

 

But:

 

She hasn't been eating very well for the past few days - less than 50% of the amount a dog her size should eat. She's just over 40kg.

 

Took her to the vet this morning because I was worried. £33 poorer came home with a pot to collect urine:eek: and she ate nearly a whole bowl of food:confused:

 

Me thinks she's got me wrapped round her little(huge) paw:lol:

 

Love to all

Cassie xx

Hi Cassie,

She's GORGEOUS!!!!

What a striking bitch. Body is all husky but the eyes/expression look like my lovely kind, wise old GSD.

So glad you took the plunge again-good owners should always share their love.

Hope everything is fine with her and you have years and years of happy times :) :) :)

PS just noticed about the feeding-hopefully she'll settle down now. Did the vet check her teeth?

I wondered about her teeth.

 

They seem fine - she has no trouble with "pigs ears" which are really chewable so I don't think her eating "problems" are to do with them.

 

Do you think that maybe she isn't used to being "fed" at certain times....??

 

She looks in fabulous condition..... but who knows.............. she's a stray!!

 

Any suggestions are very welcome.................

Since this mornings vet visit she has finished the whole bowl!!!!!

 

Could she just be "picky"??

What food have you got her on Cassie?

Kiptower- bless his little heart! He does right to milk it!

My cat had a stroke 2 yrs ago. because of her age, I thought that was it...she was paralysed and incontinent...but she's still going strong-a bit "K legged" now but gets about, is continent and eating like a horse!
