    • 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!!!
    • Afternoon DX, The files were in date order. How would I put them into an acceptable format? I'm not that pc literate.  
    • 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.

    • 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 partner Was on a Bus in August, the bus was Hit By an Admiral Driver, Admiral has accepted Liability for this and advised my Partner at that stage to deal with the compensation claim directly with Admiral.

 

Since this time my Partner has been off work with Knee Ligament issues which has prevented him from teaching riding lessons which was his own business.

 

As a result of a lot of bad luck, We've now been given our eviction notice (Thurs 28th December) which is 9 days away. We've found another property to move into which Admiral confirmed they'd help with.

 

anyway we've calculated the current loss of earnings to be over 18k in 6 months. Admiral have now done a complete U-Turn and now advised my partner to seek legal advice.

 

We've provided them a Profit & Loss accounts for his self-employed business and now they want to see contracts (which were never signed) more medical records for a Doctor my partner has never had.

 

What are our rights? We could be homeless as a result of an admirals careless driver, the lack of haste in the matter & assurance statements have resulted in this complete mess.

 

Feedback is much appreciated.

 

Regards

 

Daniel

Find a solicitor (local to you) who specialises in personal injury claims, because of the accident circumstances as you have described just about any solicitor will take this on without a cost to you (they recover their costs from the other party ie Admiral).

 

Do this as a matter of urgency, because you have both a personal injury claim and a consequential loss claim. Your solicitor will advise you about an 'interim' payment, ie money fairly quickly but not a full and final payment.

 

Dealing with Admiral direct was a bad idea (I'm not having a go and yes hindsight is a wonderful thing), but whenever personal injuries are involved you are best placed if you have your own solicitor working for you.

 

Post back if you have any questions or need further advice

UPDATE!!!

 

They've now come back and offered my partner a conditional final settlement of 6k based on the fact he DOESN'T take an MRI scan tomorrow.

 

This has now put us in a catch 22 situation, do we take the money and have a guaranteed chance to move next week or take the MRI scan which could show up any number of problems with the knee that previous examinations havent uncovered which will affect my partners future?

 

Decisions Decisions!!

What worries me is the phrase 'final settlement'

 

Whilst 6000 does sound a lot of money it may not be enough to adequately compensate you if you find out at a later date that the injuries are more serious or have a long term affect.

 

If it was up to me I would rather take the MRI scan and find out the exact position and also consult with a personal injury specialist solicitor.

From your original post I can see that the accident was some 5 months ago, that's 5 months of pain suffering and hardship.

 

Add on to that the consequential loss (ie what has happened to your lifestyle as a direct result of the accident/injuries)

 

Then consider the possible future impact of those injuries on your lifestyle and any effect it may have on your future earnings and all of a sudden £6000 does not seem that much money.

Hi,

 

I am going through an personal injury claim at the moment also involving my knee too, its a hard situation you are in but with ligament injuries you must accept the MRI scan as if it's left can cause other injuries such as arthritis and also cartilage damage due to trying to keep everything held together. You have to think about the future as some ligament injuries do not just heal and require surgical intervention, long term the ligament could rupture again just by walking again. It needs stabilization and intensive physio 6k as tempting as it is, is not realistic until the full extent of the injury is known.

 

Get a solicitor involved ASAP they are the specialists and can help with housing advice also, best of luck to you!

Thanks for the advice, that does give a different perspective.

To echo others, get a solicitor as soon as you can. I appreciate this puts you in a tricky position right now but the fact that Admiral are offering you a Full and Final Settlement (this will legally mean you cannot launch another claim for this incident after signing, even if complications develop) of £6,000 on the understanding your partner doesn't take an MRI screams out that they know full well that the MRI will show damages that run into significantly more than the 6k mark.

 

If it were me, I'd take Admiral's 'offer' as a clear indication that you should pursue them further. This sounds like you have them concerned, and should capitalise (if you'll excuse the pun) on that for everything you can.

 

And, on a medical side of things, you should have the MRI regardless of any claims or fees. This is your partner's medical wellbeing we're talking about here, which is incalculable. To not do everything in your power to ensure your partner's recovery is as speedy and complete as possible is foolish.

 

My view: No matter how hard it is right now, and I appreciate it's tough, tell Admiral to go whistle, get the MRI, get a private solicitor and proceed against Admiral for everything you can get.
