    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

Having watched Fiona Phillips documentary about Alzheimer's last night - I'm so sad & ashamed at the lack of good social care for us & our loved ones - seems so at odds with the original NHS ethics, it disappoints & astounds me that this is now happening amongst our once strong communities. Subsequent Governments have erroded a basic human instinct 'to care about each other' at the expense of the money market & the 'Gordon Gecko' mantra that 'greed is good' - I believe in Karma, that what goes around comes around - but that doesn't help 'Little Britain' - we all need to take more responsability but where to start? CAG is a great forum, but we are a drop in the ocean of modern times...

enough of my 'rant' but just maybe a 'hello' to a neighbour would be a fine start..or clear a snowy & icy path...

GRRRRRRR! Our snow was going but we had blizzards last night :(

 

Just had to walk in to town to get my prescription and only the main road is sort of clear. The pavements are like glass and I nearly slipped a few times endangering my supply of wine :eek:

 

Had to take painkillers as leg was screaming like a bitch when I got back.

Noooooo, bet the air was blue BB :D Happy New Year chick x

 

And now my two pennethworth..

 

We live at the top of a very steep hill and as you can imagine, it's been a nightmare trying to get down an ungritted hill to get to the main road for the last few weeks. After slipping and sliding all the way down the hill this morning and then taking a sharp, right hand bend (at about 10mph I might add), the car slid on the ice and I totally lost control, it all happened so quick that I just sat there waiting for the bang! I could see the hedge coming towards me and the lamppost next to it and just waited for the car to come to a standstill as I was so convinced I was going to prang it!! I slid up the kerb and stopped an inch from the lamppost :eek:

 

And yes, it did make me want to swear and yes, I did swear :D

 

Adrenaline is a strange thing. I sat there and shook for a good five minutes afterwards :rolleyes: Got to work on time though :p

Made me sad too watching the same documentary and have seen the truth behind how the elderly are treated for myself.

 

I've cleared several paths and run non-stop errands for the last week or so. I don't need payment, just a thanks suffices.

 

My only rant is that 4x4s' have been a target of hate but now they are proving their worth and are in demand to help out. I've saved people a few quid on recovery and got them going again, delivered meals and given people lifts but when my road tax is due all that will be forgotten about.

Managed to get to my pre-op on Tuesday and got back home safely, even though it took two hours through the blizzards over Bodmin Moor, and I am due to get my chest zipper on Tuesday 19th. My only fear is that they say I will be away with the fairies for about 48 hours and I just know that I will be dreaming about Link and CrapOne. (Yikes! more morphine Nurse!!!) After that it's 8 weeks for the chestbone to heal before I can drive again and poor old OH has to do everything for me. Hopefully all will be OK after all this. Catch you later

Friend of Damiens Hu :rolleyes::p:D

 

 

Sort of, Ben prefers inanimate objects though and is a total brat. If I won't give him what he wants he chews wire. So far he's chewed through cable on: 4 mobile phone chargers, 1 lamp, 3 cordless phones and the TV (but I was at work when he did the TV so it was switched off at socket luckily). Lappy cable got teethmark in it but he hasn't gone right through it yet..... :Cry: I have to put liquid soap on all wire in house to try and put him off.

 

Breeder told me he was a handful - she wasn't kidding. :roll:

 

Damien just attacks you - he's practising his stalking and pouncing skills, he's pretending you're a mouse :)
