    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • DX: 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 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.

Nice find!

but the male officer was the one who fitted the secondary padlock and chain to my suspension. Now surely this second "clamp" was fitted illegally as the officer didn't leave his name or license number on the release notice. Is that right?

 

0230012557668374 KIMBERLY HENDRY Vehicle Immobilisation Frontline 09/12/2010 Active 09/12/2009

From where I'm sitting it sounds like this gentleman is unlicensed. If he indulges in any form of frontline immobilisation he must have an SIA license. If he wasn't licensed then the clamping company directors would be guilty of allowing an unlicensed operative to work. They would be liable for a fine of up to £5000 and/or up to 6 months in jail if convicted.

 

I would be making a report of this to the SIA or threatening to at the very least.

Mundane CAG rule 1 NEVER EVER phone them UNLESS you can record the conversation otherwise keep everything in writing

 

As has been suggested it's important to check with the park owners to see if this bunch are employed by them & if not report them to the police for fraud asap

 

It's becoming a common [problem] where they set up for a few days unknown to the land owner fleece a few motorists then move on. It's seems to be most prevalent around Manchester for some reason

 

Can you ID this firm tel no's etc as there are those here who will check them out for you

The firm are:

 

Parking Control Management (UK) Ltd

 

PO Box 1161

Slough

Berkshire

SL2 5PJ

 

Release contact is: 07979 290758

 

Main office is: 01753 512603

 

I've called the owners of the business park and it is private land. However the business park owners don't have any notices indicating that it is private land, or that there is no parking allowed. The only notice that it is private land is that given by the clamping company's signs.

Here's a link to it on Google Maps. The ticket says Gypsy Moth Way but it is actually a road off Gypsy Moth Avenue. I parked at the dead end into the field.

 

Gypsy Moth Ave, Hatfield, Hertfordshire AL10 9, UK to Gypsy Moth Ave - Google Maps

 

Turn left at the marker half way between A and B, then right.

Ashmk, it may seem like a waste of time to you, and you're welcome to cut any clamps off your own car and accept the consequences. I want to do this properly so I can make an example of them.

Ok. After a lengthy conversation with the man that knows, the road is unadopted. From Hatfield Road Mosquito way and thus all the roads of Mosquito way are unadopted. Mosquito way is in the process of a section 38 adoption, but not yet.

OK then tell the park owners they can have THEIR clamp back & that any further harassment from THEIR cowboys will be met with a complaint to the police

 

Oh & did they know the company claims the clamp was fitted by their licensed FEMALE operative when unless your mistaken it was a bloke who fitted it who you think might be unlicensed

I got my letter back from the lawyer today, not much has changed except for the collection details and the closing paragraph, I guess I can't charge them to look after their clamp! :lol:

 

Collection Details

 

  • The clamp may be collected from my university address (above) and I expect you to do so within one week of receipt of this letter.

  • The padlock and chain attached to my suspension can also be removed from the same address, and I expect you to do so within one week of receipt of this letter. After that time I will assume that you are not interested in having the padlock and chain returned, in which case I will have the padlock removed by a professional locksmith, and will be forwarding the bill on to PCM. In the eventuality that the locksmith is not able to remove the padlock I will have it removed by other means that may cause damage to the padlock or chain, and returning both to you in whatever condition they are removed from the car in. Further I will hold you responsible for any further damage caused to my car in the removal of the said padlock and chain.

  • The padlock and chain must be collected at the same time as the clamp is returned. By arranging to collect either item you are agreeing to collect all items, regardless of whether this was discussed at the time of arranging collection. However, if the week's notice for collection of the padlock and chain has been exceeded, only the clamp is guaranteed to be returned undamaged.

 

Should you choose to ignore this letter and pursue this matter to court, please note that I will look to you for any costs incurred. Further, I shall look to you for compensation for any damage caused to my vehicle and the distress that this matter has caused to me.

 

I'll be sending this recorded delivery today. :D

I think you're doing them quite a favour by offering to use a locksmith. I'd just give them the time to come and get it then say you'll remove it yourself. If you use a locksmith I expect you'll struggle to get the money for it out of them.

Nice work on the removal, clampers are extortion merchants.

 

You are devoting too much of your time to this, if they do something then react to that, you have done enough.
