      G24 anpr PCN - Double Dipping - Wigan Robin Retail Park

      By FTMDave · Posted

      T911, Nick, thanks, I got there in the end! Without boring you with the details, it is precisely the most ridiculous cases that end up being lost - because the Cagger knows the other party's case is rubbish so doesn't do the necessary work on their own case. G24 are well aware of double dipping.  They have either done it deliberately or else have cameras which can't handle multiple visits to the car park which G24 happily leave malfunctioning so the £££££ keep rolling in. Sadly most people aren't like you.  I've just read various reviews for the Retail Park on TripAdvisor and Parkopedia.  Virtually all of them are complaining about these unfair charges for daring to spend time & money shopping in a shopping centre.  Yet no-one is refusing to pay.  They moan but think they have been fined and cough up. G24 are unlikely to do court, but it's not impossible with two tickets. Try to get evidence that you were elsewhere at these times. Often retail parks will intervene, but I've Googled & Googled and cannot find an e-mail address for the place.  Could the manager of one of your favourite shops give you a contact e-mail address for the company that run the retail park? Right at the moment I'm supposed to be teaching someone who runs two shops at the local shopping centre, but I'm not as he has had to go to a meeting with the company that runs the shopping centre, so I know for a fact that these business relationships exist!!!

      DVLA Cannot show my driving license information

      By Man in the middle · Posted

      I think you need to tell us what actually happened. Your original post gives the impression that you were taken to court for a speeding offence. But you go on to say that you received no paperwork. So you could not have been summonsed for a speeding offence because the police had no evidence that you (or anybody else) was driving (and it seems you were not anyway). You were probably summonsed (or more likely received a Single Justice Procedure Notice) for "failing to provide the driver's details." You would not normally be banned for this offence if you were convicted - it carries six points. So did you have any earlier points which meant you were liable to a "totting up" ban?  If you were originally convicted (as it seems you might have been) how was that conviction set aside? Did you perform a Statutory Declaration? There is simply too much missing for any meaningful help to be given. It seems as if there may have been an error by the DVLA but before you consider suing those idiots until the cows come home, you need to explain exactly what has happened.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Regards telephone calls, we wrote and asked them not to call anymore but they carried on doing it.

 

Here's what we did.

 

We went to http://www.flextel.co.uk and registered one of their free 0871 numbers. If someone calls that number you can have the Flextel free answerphone service pick it up, transfer it to a mobile or landline number or transfer it to email fax. We have the ansaphone service pick up the calls. If anyone leaves a message then you get it sent to you in a .wav file in an email.

 

Then we logged onto our online Egg account and changed the main contact number to the 0871 number and removed all the other contact numbers.

 

Now Egg call the 0871 number but they have never yet left a message.

 

This has 2 advantages

1, you can see a full list of when they call you

2, you earn money on each call is made! It's not loads, a few pence, but it gives me a warm , fuzzy feeling :-)

 

simplzzz!

 

I've set mine up my free 0871 number but to activate the number I appear to need to route it to my 'phone number. I thought it could be routed to emails?

In the little dropdown for the destination, change it to voicemail. Any messages that are left will be emailed to you.

 

Thanks. I've now downloaded the voicemail manager as well. can I say this service is positively BRILLIANT Tina. Thank you!

 

Q. How do we earn money from it though? FlexTel don't appear to ask for account details etc. How are you getting paid?

Have repped you up. Which is that star thingy on the left side of the screen. If you click on it it shows your reputation points. The more pips a cagger has the more rep points you get. Not as good as your cashback from the DCAs though :)

SFU,

To say I am stunned by the email PT sent you is an understatement, I cannot think of any reason why PT would conclude that Caggers in general were undermining his efforts. You must conclude that this decision by PT not to disclose the judgement is down to something we do not know about, maybe a disagreement with one of the MODS.

So Peter Bard has won the day, with or without the help of others.

 

 

Enjoy Peter

 

 

 

HI

Just stumbled across this.

OK first of all lets get this out of the way, I was correct in all my views on this, the judgement echoed exactly the points I tried to make on the thread.

I am not going to apologise for being correct.

Secondly there was very little “personal abuse” on my part, certainly some frustration at the amount of prevarication that was taking place, when a point was raised that could not be answered, that’s when the client confidentiality card was played or if that failed the “ well I have had expert advice and they must be correct “, well they weren’t were they..

As for the points raised, if you read the thread you will see that no one was willing to enter into argument against these propositions, no one was willing to entertain the thought that it may all be incorrect.

As with many other threads on here unfortunately, an idea is put forward and then adopted as a fact without being properly discussed, this is not my fault.

If allowed I shall continue to point out what in my opinion seem to be flawed arguments, I am aware some people will not like it but I think someone should

I, like many others here was hoping for a win by Pt, but I have to say, and it may be reflected retrospectively in my (few) posts, that PB's arguments stopped me from jumping in headfirst, simply because I was open to both sides of the argument!

 

The way I see it, a lot of people have jumped on the bandwagon and call PB rude etc, but they themselves are overly rude about it - Just an observation from a neutral party!
