    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

our Shep had hip displacia. We rescued him and he will asways be remembered by us.

 

We had had him for nearly 4 yrs but its not the point. The place seems strange without him and its deffo to quiet.

 

We have not replaced him and i dont think we will be but we do have a dog who we have had for 3 years a lovely little Jack Russel. can be a pain and if anyone knows how we get him to stop peeing in the house it would help.

 

So sorry for all who have lost a beloved pet. I feel even sorrier though for those who will never understand what they mean to us and how much joy they bring. I lost my beloved staffy just over a year ago. He was 14. He was so special, could light my day up like nobody else. He had arthiritis and had to be put to sleep. The decision was surprisingly easy to make. However, resisting the urge to kick s**t out of the vet because my instinct to protect him by any means was SO strong, is by far the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. That includes giving up smoking. I still feel the loss and still cry for him. I think I allways will. He will allways be in my heart and i'll never forget him. He was one in a billion and I'm blessed to have had him in my life. It does get easier, but I don't think it will ever fully go away. I don't think i'd want it to either. But, at least now I can look at his pictures and smile. He meant the world to me, and to be able to do that took a long time. I'm a soft pup.

Chopping a big bag of onions up to freeze. Then chopping up chillies to marinade some chicken for tea tonight. Every time my hands go near my face my eyes start stinging and watering. The only thing I've not washed my hands in is oven cleaner!:rolleyes: Now where did I put that oven cleaner:p

Oooh, I didn't know you could freeze chopped onion.... I HATE choping onion. Eyes water to the point of being blind. Would be much easier to do it in bulk and get it over with! Do you just put them in normal freezer bags? Can you buy chopped onion to freeze, even better?!

You can buy them ready chopped but I prefer to freeze them myself.

Just pop them in a bag but leave plenty of room in it. Every now and then whilst they're freezing just massage them a bit (no not like that MTM:rolleyes:) to keep them seperated so they don't freeze as a big blob. Eazy Peazy

Thinking I have to go to the quacks with a dodgy mole or 2. And not of the garden variety! I wouldn't mind but I don't have many and avoid the sun like swine flu.

 

Better to get them checked out I suppose than sit wondering and ignoring.

 

 

Definatly, better to be safe than sorry:)

What made me swear today ?

 

1. Receiving a letter from Barclayshark telling me they've destroyed all account data older then six years in line with the Data Protection Act.

 

2. Telephoning the ICO and being told that a creditor CAN destroy all data of six years old or more as they aren't compelled to keep it longer.

 

Grrrrrrrrr
