    • Thanks 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 concenquences 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?
    • 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.

Hi,

 

I have just been sent a PCN for a congestion charge that I didn't pay. (I travel in to London 2 days a week and always pay, I must of forgot!)

 

The date of the offence was 09/12/2009 and the date of the PCN issue is 18/01/2010. That's 40 days after the date of offence... but they have the cheek to say I have to act within 14 days!

 

Is it not like a speeding conviction where as they have to notify you within so many days of the offence.???

 

Also they spelt my name incorrectly... even though it's correct on my logbook!

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

They don't have a time limit for CC. If the name is wrong you have 3 options,1 ignore the notice and pretend its not for you and they will just go to the next stage anyway 2 write back stating the person on the PCN does not live there and they will just re issue the PCN or 3 just treat it as if it is correct.

OK... but it seems a bit unfair that we have to do all these things within so many days and they can take 40 days to issue a PCN! I will pay online then.. :-(

 

Probably because they have thousands to deal with and have to check the photos match the computer info, check payment has not been made, contact DVLA for driver details and issue a notice all you have to do is post a letter back.

I do have sympathy for you whilst I agree with the charge the ' £60 penalty' is ridiculous. I can see the logic in parking penalties as they are a deterent since its not possible to catch every 'offender' so being fined puts you off doing it. However its impossible to avoid the charge if you don't pay you just get charged through the post at an over inflated rate. Unlike parking you cannot gamble on not getting caught so anyone that gets a penalty must have entered in error or forgot to pay.

If I drove into London I don't think I'd have a clue about going about paying it, that's asuming I even knew I'd been in an area covered by the CC.

 

I wonder how many non-Londoners get caught simply because they don't understand the system.

It is well signposted you'd have to be blind to miss the cameras and signs. I think the problem most people have is forgetting to pay, paying for the wrong day or giving wrong vrm when they do pay. Another mistake people make is realising at the last minute they have reached the start, going past the cameras and driving out again thinking no one will notice.

OK, I'll believe you that I would have seen the signs

How about, "OK, I'm in the CC zone, what happens now? do they send me a bill? do I have 14 days to pay? where/how do I pay?"

Understandable

Dear All,

 

I just realised that I've missed making payment for congestion charge by a day.

 

Is there any means I can use to try and initiate payment and use that basis as ground to not receive a PCN?

 

I've called the hotline and they said that there is nothing I can do but wait. Isn't that rirculous as I'm genuinely wanting to pay the charge but tfl is more interested in the fine!!

 

 

Kindest regards,

 

Andrew

If they did want a dropped kerb in that location, they would have to do some major works to relocate the drain. You can't have wheelchairs and pushchairs coming off the footpath and wedging a wheel straight into a drain cover! Most likely, they would locate it 5 or 6 feet further from the drain. IMO this cannot constitute a "dropped kerb" access.
