    • Write to the IPC complaining that UKPC have not observed the requirements of PoFA . IPC  Waterside House, Macclesfield SK10 9NR Dear IPC, I am writing to complain about a serious breach of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 by UKPCM. I feel that as it is more a breach of the Act rather than not just  complying with your Code of Practice which is why I am bypassing your operator. Should you decide to insist that I first complain to your operator, I will instead pass over my complaint to the ICO and the DVLA . My story starts with being issued a windscreen PCN on 8/3/24 which was almost immediately removed and a second  PCN was then  sent by post on 13/3/24  [deemed delivered 15/3/24] which I did not receive and had to send an sar to have that particular mess revealed later  but that is not the reason for my complaint. UKPC then sent a Keeper Liability Notice dated 12/4/24 warning me that as 28 days have now elapsed, I as keeper am now liable for the charge.  This is in direct contravention of PoFA since the keeper does not become liable to pay until the day after the original PCN is deemed to have been given which would have been 13/4/24 -a Saturday ]. Not only does it not comply with PoFA but it fails to adhere to your Code of Practice and is in breach of their agreement with the DVLA. You will be aware that this is not the first time that UKPC have fallen foul of the DVLA and presumably yourselves. I have included copies of both Notices for information. You will realise the seriousness of this situation if this is standard practice from the UKPC to all motorists or just those where windscreen tickets are involved since the Law regarding PoFA is being abused and is unfair to misguide motorists. I await your  response which I understand will usually be within a week. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I would think that should be sufficient for the IPC to cancel your PCN though  you should await comments from the Site team before sending your complaint. Don't forget to include both PCNs.  
    • Hi DX, Sorry, fell asleep as I was up all night last night writing that statement. Yes, I attached the rest of the witness statement on post 50, bottom of webpage 2. That's the important part.  It looks like the lawyer who wrote Erudio's Witness statement does not work for them any more. So, I'll have another lawyer representing instead. Not sure if I can use Andy's hearsay argument verbally if that happens.... I did not put it in writing. Apart from not sending deferral forms, my main argument is that in 2014 Erudio fixed some arrears mistake that SLC made and then in 2018 they did the same mistake, sent me confusing letters. What is the legal defence when they send you confusing material?

    • 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 sister is a civil servant, she works in a jobcentre helping people find work. She has been working there for 11 years, she gets about £17000 a year salary and that is at an administrative officer level, when she retires she will get a "gold plated" pension of around £8,000 (having only paid into it 26yrs). There isnt likely to be a state pension to back that up when she retires and if there is she probably wont be able to access it until she is 73 or something ridiculous like that.

 

Most civil servants are required to do the most with the least and then used as whipping boys when the economy is in bad shape, political parties of all colours have bidding wars of how many they can get rid of and still run the country, however working with less resources in half the time and with IT that is not worth the office space is about as good as it gets.

 

Its the senior civil servants in whitehall that are taking down the million pound pensions, great terms and conditions.

 

One good piece of news is that the union has just won its battle against the government reducing compensation payments when making civil servants redundant - these were part of the terms and conditions of their contract but as they are planning to get rid of a load of them on the cheap they decided to trim a bit off the compensation payments they were due.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

Why did the party negotiations become so dominated by what the markets want? The voices of the working people are never heard as political commentators bombard the electorate with what the City would like to see in terms of Government. And what the money markets want seems prefaced on which party will most boldly dump the deficit on the vulnerable in society.

 

Has historical amnesia taken over to such a degree that the role of the very same markets in bringing about this economic crisis in the first place has been forgotten? Democracy means making decisions in the interests of the masses, not a clique of greedy financiers.:mad:

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

:

Liberal Democrat deputy leader Vince Cable is to serve as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills in David Cameron's new coalition Government.

The former Lib Dem Treasury spokesman, who shot to prominence due to his warnings over the global financial crisis as well as his ballroom dancing talents, was appointed to the post as Mr Cameron shaped his first Cabinet this morning.

Fellow Liberal Democrat David Laws was named as George Osborne's second-in-command at the Treasury, with Cabinet rank as Chief Secretary. In the position, the former banker will carry a great deal of the burden for the public spending cuts required to reduce the UK's record budget deficit.

The parties will bring forward early legislation to introduce a power of recall, allowing voters to force a by-election where an MP was found to have engaged in serious wrongdoing and having had a petition calling for a by-election signed by 10% of his or her constituents.

 

I wonder if the Lib Dem constituencies can rally around and get more than 10% votes stating transferring their votes away from the Lib Dem manifesto was "serious wrongdoing" (and the same for the conservatives?)

 

Of course I expect them to have covered their butts, but I'd love to see it tried!

Well both myself and Mrs Woody both work in the public sector. I do the totaly uneccessary job of teaching long term unemployed people literacy and numeracy and Mrs Woody is that total Tory target of a tea drinking layabout civil servant who reguarly does 60 hour weeks for no extra pay. The country will be so much better off without the likes of us.

 

Read my post [EDIT] and then you will see that is not what I implied. I work in the private sector but my wife works in the public sector in a special needs school, also totally unnecessary by your [EDIT] criteria. [EDIT]

 

You can guess from the edits that I was not too taken with those comments. I suggest you read the posts you are referring to properly before launching into an inappropriate and sarcastic diatribe.

I'm not at all anti royal. They have their place as a major tourist attraction :)

 

True. I've often wondered how much money they bring in as opposed to what they take out. It would be very difficult to quantify, but my guess is that, on balance, they are probably in credit.

 

Regards.
