    • 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!!!

    • 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 has needed constant care and supervision since the 15th of april.

 

I have not worked since then, and I was told I could claim income support to look after her.

 

She is on ESA and gets £50 a week. I have today been told that as she got a student loan 2 months ago I cannot have any money until 26th June.

 

What am I suppose to live on? Never mind that a Student Loan is a LOAN, they consider it income.

 

We currently have no money whatsoever. Please help.

Hi there, this sounds awful for you both. I wish I could help, but I don't know about ESA and IS. But I'm sure other clever caggers will turn up later and I hope they'll help you.

 

My best to you both, HB x

Hi Captain,

 

The rules regarding student loans and I.S are a bit complicated so I will try to explain.

Your wifes student loan is classed as an Income, what happens is that the loan is attributed for the period it is supposed to cover for I.S purposes.

 

This means that the loan was paid to your wife by the student loan company to cover her living expenses for the academic year, first week in September to the last week of June. Under normal circumstances this money would have kept her for the period when she was attending her course.

I.S use these rules they are saying her student loan should have lasted her to the end of June and as such they class it as an income as in theory they think she should have enough left to cover herself to June.

Hence the date they have given you the 26th June.

 

Unfortunately as I.S is incomed based you cant claim anything untill this date. The only thing I can suggest is maybe a crisis loan, not the best I Know.

Have you claimed housing and council tax benefits as well,

Also DLA for your wife

sorry things are not good at the moment

I sympathise CW, Atos is not a happy place to be, but it has to be done. I don't know how to advise you on answers that fit with the Lima software if I've spelt that right, because I failed the last time. If you've had time to read this forum, you'll see many of us have. All you can do is be honest and try to make sure the doctor is actually listening and not totally transfixed by the computer screen.

 

But please don't despair, you could be one of the lucky ones and I hope our gurus come up with some ways for you to live until decisions are made.

 

Big hugs to you both, HB

Attempting to Claim DLA at the mo, how can £3k a year be enough to live on for 2 people?

 

We have the horrors of ATOS to go to tomorrow as well.

 

 

The student loan 3k would have been for your wife, where you working,

its not a fair system I know.

 

June 26 is a long way away, but you will get I.S after that date if your circumstances stay the same, and if she gets DLA hopefully you will get extra premiums.

 

Was the student loan 3k for the year, if thats the case then they have processed the claim wrong :(

Yeah, it was 3K for the year, and they knew that when I shouted at them today over the phone.

 

Amazing how you can never get your hands on the goits who make the descicions isn't it.

 

As for the ATOS stuff, I have read a fair bit on here about it, but all it's done is make her worry. However, her advisor at the Jobcentre told her all about the appeals process and how crap ATOS were, which made me laugh.

Fingers crossed for you both. If you possibly can, stay firm but fair. Being shouted at must be a daily thing for them, with all the frustrated people out there. If you're different, it may make you stand out.

 

Or does anyone know different?
