      Alliance ANPR PCN -Appealed - now Letter of Claim - paid for wrong carpark via app - Sea View Car park, Polzeath, Cornwall PL27 6SR

      By FTMDave · Posted

      Well the difference is that in all our other cases It was Kev who was trying to entrap the motorist so sticking two fingers up to him and daring him to try court was from a position of strength. In your case, sorry, you made a mistake so you're not in the position of strength.  I've looked on Google Maps and the signs are few & far between as per Kev's MO, but there is an entrance sign saying "Pay & Display" (and you've admitted in writing that you knew you had to pay) and the signs by the payment machines do say "Sea View Car Park" (and you've admitted in writing you paid the wrong car park ... and maybe outed yourself as the driver). Something I missed in my previous post is that the LoC is only for one ticket, not two. Sorry, but it's impossible to definitively advise what to so. Personally I'd probably gamble on Kev being a serial bottler of court and reply with a snotty letter ridiculing the signage (given you mentioned the signage in your appeal) - but it is a gamble.

      MET/DCB(L) windscreen PCN PAPLOC Now Claimform - electric bay abuse - ASDA Arla Old Dairy South Ruislip

      By FTMDave · Posted

      No! What has happened is that your pix were up-to-date: 5 hours' maximum stay and £100 PCN. The lazy solicitors have sent ancient pictures: 4 hours' maximum stay and £60 PCN. Don't let on!  Let them be hoisted by their own lazy petard in the court hearing (if they don't bottle before).

      MET/DCB(L) windscreen PCN PAPLOC Now Claimform - electric bay abuse - ASDA Arla Old Dairy South Ruislip

      By rocky_sharma · Posted

      Thanks for all the suggestions so far I will amend original WS and send again for review.  While looking at my post at very beginning when I submitted photos of signs around the car park I noticed that it says 5 hours maximum stay while the signage sent by solicitor shows 4 hours maximum stay but mine is related to electric bay abuse not sure if this can be of any use in WS.

      Scotland: Statute barred/Prescribed date vs 5 year default date anniversary

      By Consumer Lover · Posted

      Not sure what to make of that or what it means for me, I was just about to head to my kip and it's a bit too late for legalise. When is the "expenditure occured"?  When they start spending money to write to me?  Or is this a bad thing (as "harsh" would imply)? When all is said and done, I do not have two beans to rub together, we rent our home and EVERYTHING of value has been purchased by and is in my wife's name and we are not financially linked in any way.  So at least if I can't escape my fate I can at least know that they will get sweet FA from me anyway   edit:  ah.. Sophia Harrison: Time bar decision tough on claimants WWW.SCOTTISHLEGAL.COM Time bar is a very complex area of law in Scotland relating to the period in which a claim for breach of duty can be pursued. The Scottish government...   This explains it like I am 5.  So, a good thing then because creditors clearly know they have suffered a loss the minute I stop paying them, this is why it is "harsh" (for them, not me)? Am I understanding this correctly?

    • 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.

misskrumbo, I understand that you're upset, but there's no need to take it out on other caggers, IMO. You don't sound calm to me at the moment, sorry.

 

As Loopinlouie isn't here to defend herself, and as you only joined us yesterday and may not have read all the threads, I promise you we do have some kind and helpful DWP people, who try to advise worried people on this forum, in their own time.

 

If this wasn't Damsel's thread, I would be unsubbing. You might consider starting your own, as this thread is about Damsel's problems.

Misskrumbo,you are entitled to your thoughts and opinions but keep them civil.

This is a job someone has to do-and its in the interests of all those who are honest,that it is.

 

Only those who have things to hide or else are legitimate targets for investigation should feel the need to be concerned-because they will be caught and rightly dealt with appropriately.

 

Its unfortunate that along the way,the innocent can sometimes feel targetted for no reason,but those who are responsible for abuse have made the rules.

 

Just look at this from all angles.

I thought at first as said you were inspiring. I for one do not work for the dwp, most posters here will have gathered that and if you want a true picture of how those who work for the dwp do help out, click on my username and into statistics and search for threads started by me, one titled confused.

 

You will see I came to this site uninformed of my entitlements and nervous of an overpayment which was not my fault. I after a few pages became reassured and was helped by a number of people from different areas and later I realised at least a couple were dwp employees. They also picked up on something welfare rights had tried to help me with and encouraged me to chase another benefit, I now get that money.

 

If they were so bad they wouldnt have troubled themselves to help out, but you see they do care and want to help people who dont know their rights get help.

 

Whilst I do not feel all in the dwp is fair and some innocent are caused a great deal of stress, I do not in any way think it fair to blame the employees. Thats my own experience:D

Misskrumbo, its a shame that your '**** HOT Criminal Lawyer' gave you incorrect advice.

 

Yes both the DWP and local authority can demand copies of your bank statements under the Social Security Fraud Act 1997. They do have to make an application and give their reasons as to why they feel that a fraud may have been committed.

 

The DWP also do speak to the UKBA and what is called a 'memorandum of understanding' between both government departments has been signed and agreed by the top people so that information can be passed between departments

Every body who is chattin on this site has got problems concerning the title.

why dont you pull your head back in, you are boring me now.

We know dams has got some problems, i understand her.

but where there is a will there is a way. Or do you not agree.

Whats wrong with tryin to Boost dams confidence. She should be told that there is nothing wrong in fighting back. Better to fight back than lose everything. Its ok saying poor dams. I am saying appeal fight back.

Do what you have to do to protect yourself from these Bottom feeders, (investigators) Try every trick in the book, And after 12 wks go to the local government omsbudsman, and complain to them, she could even ring them now for a chat and ask what there opinion is.

Do you know somthing i think you are one of them. May be D.W.P. or some other agency.

My advice to anybody is fight back, at least you learning along the way.

Has anybody ever had experience of a decent crimminal solicitor on legal aid.

If any body wants one i would be pleased to give a number to you.

She spent one hour talking me through the legalities of this investigation stuff right through to what they can and can not do or say to you. About court stuff the lot. All for free, Then about the process of legal aid.:p

Whats wrong with a good old fashioned debate?

Truth hurts the investigators. what ever happened to innocent till proven guilty. AND DECIDED BY THE BRITISH COURT OF LAW.

Whats wrong with the right to freedom of speach!

Whats wrong is the invasion of privacy, and a lack of respect to our human rights.

Blah Blah Blah.

And no i wont watch it!

Don't be silly i aint upset, thanks for your concern though!

Why should i get my own thread, excuse me.

Boosting dam's confidence.

Have you lot come up with any real help for her yet.

whats up have all the investigators come home from work now or what?

You investigators are not the only guy's with a voice.

But you get a kick out of makin sure people lose there homes and possesions,

all day long, then what do you do? feel guilty and get on sites like this and dish out advice on how to solve peoples problems that you cause.

So whats your expert advice to dam's.

You are a strange breed of humanity!:grin::grin::grin:

Damsel, I haven't forgotten that this is your thread. Did you see the solicitor today and has it helped? I hope so.

 

I hope so too Damsel. I'm unsure of the intricacies of the IUC process but feel that you should also draw attention to your health problems as a mitigating factor.

 

My personal approach would be one of damage limitation. You've done something you clearly regret (which one of us hasn't at some point in our life??) and I think it would be best for you to put this behind you as quickly as you (and the DWP of course) possibly can and move forward.

 

If the Housing Association remain intransigent about increasing their percentage of home ownership then I would be inclined to take in a lodger as you have previously touched upon. There are tax breaks for this and so long as your house is safe and clean then I wouldn't be overly concerned about any other costly modifications.

 

Best wishes!! :wink:

" i SPOKE TO THE CRIMMINAL SOLICITOR. She told me that they can not get into my bank account and could not go to immagration. I have not been out of this country in five years. " quote by misskrumbo

 

 

 

This is categorically not true. As an investigator I can have access to both of these things as long as I can justify the intrusion.

 

I also personally welcome a solicitor in an IUC, as they can often advise the interviewee to be sensible if they are guilty and my evidence is overwhelming. If the interviewee has a compelling story or my evidence is weak or I have misinterpreted it they are useful in helping things get sorted. Contrary to popular belief, I want the right outcome: I have no vested interest in getting a result by trickery or underhand means. Evidence is everything.

By the way.....an administrative Penalty is 30% of the overpayment, not 20 as previously quoted. It is not negotiable.

 

Correct. My error. This is why it's probably a good job a request had to be sent to someone else to work the 30% out for me:roll:

No worries mate.

 

Also, criminal solicitors are great at their jobs. However, they often haven't got a clue how the benefit system works. They will ensure PACE is adhered to etc, but it is often not their area of expertise. An interviews on tape for everyones benefit, it means that everything said is available verbatim.

I'm getting quite paranoid about the number of invetigators - past or present - infiltrating the forum!

Seriously though, as long as you give good and helpfull info it's nice to see things from an official perspective. [i'm far too used to posting on the bailiff forum where life is not so genteel!]

Best wishes.
