    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed. If I get the chance I'll put the post up and hope that's the end of the matter, though I might just be deflecting it on to a neighbour even if they haven't moved in yet. Perhaps we could all get together and put all the posts in the empty spaces up too - I have a few spare padlocks from shed etc and would happily buy more to make this person go away.

If the car is still there tomorrow, I'll speak to the management company and see what they suggest.

In the meantime, if anyone posts on this forum asking for advice about what to do about mulitple tickets for parking in a private space, you know what to tell them - don't pay, but don't park there again!

I don't know why the PPC haven't towed/clamped. In fact the only evidence I have that they exist is the ticket the OH got when we parked in a visitor's space to view the property. Needless to say he didn't pay it.

You could pay your £2.50p to the DVLA and get the RK's detail's - you have cause; I did it just over twelve months ago, although if a note under the wiper doesn't help, then writing direct might not, of course.

 

However, the op is incurring financial loss if her vehicle is having to be parked elsewhere at a cost to her. Depending on the amount of the loss, does she not have grounds to recover this loss from the person abusing her private property?

Would it be illegal to tow it out of the space?

so if the person is not bothered about getting mutiple tickets they will keep on parking there unless you put the post up all the time, thats the problem with companies who just issue tickets, they cant do anything else opther than stick paper to your windscreen

Ok, just call the police and tell them the person has no permission to park there and you want to press charges for trespass.

Don't. It has nothing to do with the Police, this is a civil matter.

I wouldn't even consider calling the police over something which, though annoying, is in the great scheme of things trivial.

 

I'm not sure the OH will see it quite like that though - he's can be a bit territorial especially if he thinks one of his own is being upset by it.

This gets more complicated as it goes.

 

So, let me get this all nice and clear. You have bought the flat and you bought the parking space too. Someone has parked a car in your space since you got the keys to the property and have apparently ignored your written notes to not park there. Correct so far?

 

You mention the parking tickets, so is there a parking company appointed to ticket/clamp/tow away in the car park? If so, call them and tell them you want this car removed. They will jump at the chance.

 

In the meantime, as the owner of the space, you could contract an SIA parking company to put a sign up on the fence in front of your space and then ticket/clamp/tow anyone who is parked there that shouldn't be.

 

You have several options, so get tough with these people.

Car was not there this morning, and post is now in position and will be every time I leave the space empty.

 

It would be evil to hope inconsiderate driver does not see nasty post with big yellow stripes this evening, wouldn't it?

 

Had quite a chat with a neighbour that I hadn't met before this morning, and this car has apparently caused problems for other people. The parking company have had many complaints and have yet to do anything about it. Guess who's volunteered to get the management company involved? After all, I presume some of their charges go to pay this parking company.

Sounds like someone that needs to be taught some manners - the car driver, not the OP, LOL.

 

There are unfortunately some people in this world who are so self indulgent that they will do what they like. However, it always catches up with them in the end and they usually meet someone who is more than a match for them.

 

Glad you got it sorted.

I am a great believer in what goes around comes around.

 

From the first time we viewed this place we thought the parking area wasn't sufficiently secure, but decided to tackle that problem once we were living there and could (hopefully) get the other residents on our side. It seems that I've started already.

I've been away for a few days and I'm just catching up with some of the threads.

 

You sound like you have an actionable case. With the post in position you should avoid the problem. If you have been incurring costs while they are parked their then technically you have damages which you could recover from the owner of the vehicle under trespass. You would have to present evidence to the court - so if it happens again get photos. If you can prove your case, you can through the court and try and get a judgement against them. If they don't pay then bailiffs can get involved and might distress the car (clamp it or tow it) until things have been paid.

 

As regard the other matters - if you "immobilise the vehicle" then you are indulging in licensable activity under the PSI Act and regulations.

 

I would treat with caution a management company solution. Most of them involve clamping/permits or un-enforcable invoices. Do you really want the hassle. (Have a look at the appendix of the clamping guide - some of it is relevant to your situation.)

As expected, putting my post up whenever I'm not there has deflected the problem on to another property, currently empty. With the permission of the management company myself and another resident yesterday put posts up in all the unnoccupied spaces and have left the keys with the estate agents.

I happened to be nearby (actually watching from the neighbour's flat) when the problem vehicle arrived. The driver seemed somewhat confused by the sudden flourishing of yellow and black posts, then gave up and parked in the public car park next door. We couldn't see where he went after that, but he certainly doesn't live in our block or the one next door.

All this hassle because someone wants to park for free rather than pay the £1 charge for overnight parking next door.

As someone who gets nervous just pulling over to drop someone off never mind parking where I shouldn't, I don't understand this sort of behaviour at all. The spaces are clearly marked as private, so parking there is no different to parking on someone's driveway in my opinion, but I bet they wouldn't do that.

so parking there is no different to parking on someone's driveway in my opinion, but I bet they wouldn't do that.

don't be so sure about that, I live next to a large shop, that has a small car park,

 

I have a private car park (looks a bit like scrub land) attached to (right in front of) the house where I live. (big enough to fit four cars on, (though two would be blocked in) and a single car driveway. -that's right next to my house and right in front of my garage.

I came home last summer to find that the shop was very busy and there were people parked in both the car park bit that's outside my house...

AND on the single car driveway that's next to my house.

 

(I could almost excuse the person parked in the car park for their mistake, my house is owned by the shop -they are my landlord, and there is a sign for the shop that is on my drive... so it could look like an overspill car park, but I couldn't imagine that the buy who parked on my drive, that's an obvious 1 car drive next to my house, in front of my garage, had made a mistake).

 

My missus went to the shop and asked them to make an announcement that could the people with the following car registrations please come and move their cars!

 

the guy parked on my single space driveway actually had an argument with the shop assistant that they felt that they should be able to park wherever they liked, -even though it was obviously in my drive and blocking access to my garage.

but he grudgingly moved his car...

 

the people who owned the other car decided not to move their car from my car park that's in front of my house, for about an hour or so after they'd finished doing all their shopping.

at which time they came and knocked on my door and asked me to move my car from my car park so that they could move the car that they'd parked there!

Like I said, I just don't understand people who do this, but I bet they'd be the first to complain if you so much as parked on the public road in front of their neighbour's house three doors down, never mind if you caused them any sort of inconvenience.

 

How long did it take you to move your car? In your shoes, I'd have made sure I answered the door (after a long delay) dripping wet and wrapped in a towel so they had to wait for me to dry, get dressed, dry my hair, find my shoes, find my bag, search unsuccessfully for the car keys for half an hour ....
