    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.  
    • This is simply a scam site.  It's been shown to be a scam in the national press and on national TV. Please fill in the the forum sticky and upload the invoice you've received. In fact what you have is an invoice, not a fine, a private company doesn't have the power to issue fines.

    • 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.

As some of you will know, I am a blue badge holder in receipt of the higher rate of DLA (mobility). I can walk, but it is very painful and going to town now is avoided if possible.

 

I live about 2 miles from the City Centre and have considered a couple of options. I was considering buying a mobity scooter, either a colapsable one I can take in the boot and then put up once there, or one of the nippy ones (8mph) and drive it all the way there and back.

 

Problem I have is that they are 'grannymobiles' and I am a bloke in my late 40's. Without trying to offend anyone, I don't like the whole image of them. Poxy shopping basket on the front etc. If it had a V8 engine and wide wheels, then great. But no... you know what I mean.

 

Other option is an electric wheelchair, but then I feel like a fraud when I can walk and don't want people getting things from shelves for me when I can get up and do it. But I also don't want to be seen as that bloke in Little Britain either!

 

So. Does anyone know a happy medium for me? I would gladly use one of those two wheel things from USA, but i believe they are illegal here. I am totally open to suggestion, just something that I can ideally sit down on/in and not look like my grandmother.

Thanks for the replies so far. Roller skates? Behave yourself!:)

 

The last one looks a little more like it. I did a search on google and found a pic. Of a granny and her dog in one. Grrrrrrr!

 

I may be looking for something that doesn't exist of course. I will have to avoid the 4 wheel burgundy red with walnut trim scooters with the wicker basket on the front. It looks as though the cheap and nasty looking 3 wheeler that folds up completely maybe the only viable solution. I have to make sure it has an ignition key though. This is Nottingham and unless it is nailed down it will walk. I even had my walking sticks pinched once whilst I was using the cash point. Couldn't believe it! Running up the road laughing and through them into the road. Luckily a kind person retrieved them for me.

 

Anyway, I diverge. Any more suggestions welcome. I should add, that I am not in the price league for that last one either. It will be a used one I buy.

I eventually bit the bullet and bought a second hand class 3 mobility scooter that scoots along at 8mph. I have not used it much as I have the same problem as you being a petrol head and loviong V8s etc.

I carry my sticks with me and park up outside the shop and then do the shopping inside however this is only to get bread or milk as a big shopping is very difficult as one has to push a trolley using one stick and hanging onto the trolley to retain your balance. I don't fancy using thsoe zimmer frame type trolleys as it gives me a complex.

If you are buying a second hand one, there is nothing stopping you from doing it up a bit to make it more fun. :D:p

Update:

 

Bahhhh humbug. Computer says no. Plus the manufacturer has gone bankrupt. When you see this you will understand why I want one.

 

Look up Carver One on You tube. The one with Jenson Button trying it is the best I think.

 

Oh well. Back to the grannymobile then......:(
