    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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.

My son was given a sample of personal lubricant at sex ed recently.

 

I felt a hot flush come on when he plopped the sachet in my lap, aaarrgghhhhh :!:

 

Ive dealt with the subject of condoms but lubricant, eeeewwwwww.

 

They should call these samples mother torturing devices and time how long a hot flush takes to appear, my son does:lol::lol:

 

In all seriousness good they cover the bases with the kids, but I expected him to appear with a few condoms but that shocked me.

 

I can imagine a few funny shaped balloons about.

OK, no gory details, but I'm allergic to many of these.... don't even ask how I found that out....

That's the surest indication that it is not genuine. Not genuine means that he will have had one disc and used the same key on all the installs he has done.

GRR i hate it when people give u attitude and say basically its ur own fault.

 

Ok so tried conniffs idea of speaking to the admistrators and got the engaged tone all afternoon. Must have a few annoyed customers. Anyway l decided to ring round and see how much people would charge me for a copy of win 7 spoke to a few nice people who basically were very symaphetic and said theyy would speak to managers and see what they would be able to do. Well l spoke to some guy in PC world utter prat, please note this is the kind name for him.

If awards were given out for being a complete and utter ninkin poop unsymaphetic and very much having a major attitude problem and telling customers its there own fault l am making him the winner.

 

he turn round and said to me we dont do price matching we dont do discount and i don not symaphise with you. U should have brought it from a decent retailor like us in the first place. and hung up on me.

 

Well Mr attitude l have complained to your company head office and told them the reason l did not buy from you in the first place. U spend 5 minutes discussing a decent price then 3 hours arguing over having insurance. Anyways l went else were as they were not forcing the extended warrenty on me and there price was about £75 cheaper. Som there suck on those Apples

 

Yes l know l am partly resonsible for my own problem l went for a product l thought was real and had no reason not to believe its real and went for a cheaper price but l did not know the company was going bust.

GM. A friend of mine bought 2 laptops from a car boot sale. Both had Windows installed. I had to update them for him (put the right security and stuff on them). Neither had a genuine copy of Windows. I called the automated phone line and they give you a proper license number (25 digits long I think). You would be best writing the number down as the machine gives it to you rather than try to put the number in as you go along. If I remember correctly, it asked where I got the laptop from. You get a multiple choice and I just pressed the number for 'got it from a shop'. There was no real person involved, so no awkward questions. I would just give it a try, you have nothing to lose.

That made me "smile today".

 

There was a Rowan Atkinson (I think) sketch on this very thing. People filled up with petrol to the exact pound, and RA, in the shop, clicked it over to the odd penny over the top. Are you sure the guys at the petrol station weren't doing the same thing?!!! Maybe it wasn't you after all.:-)

To anyone who has seen jackass 3, all I need to say for sympathy, or okay laughter, is the scene involving the model railway and the portable loo that flung in the air.

My dad is having heart bypass surgery tomorrow :sad:. Came as a bit of a shock. They only found out last monday that there was a problem. i'm glad in some ways that they are where they are (the states) as I know he will get better care than he would here, but it's bloody hard to not be able to be there for him and my mum at times like this. It would be nice to give them a big pup hug. It doesn't help that I know a bit too much about this sort of thing, with what my '2nd family' have been through with their hearts over the years. I keep scaring myself. I know these things are done all the time, but knowing that if something were to go wrong, there's no way I could get there in time, does add a bit of weight to the shoulders.

The uncanny ability of lawn weeds to duck in avoidance of oncoming steel blades spinning at 3,500 times a minute, despite every effort.

Particularly annoying is how they pop up unscathed and wave in a 'Ha, you missed' fashion after every repeated pass.
