    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof? 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No    Have you had a response?  n/a 7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice'  
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.    
    • Evening all,   So today, I was sent an updated offer that includes the £12.60 I spent on letters, but they have declined to add the interest at £7.40. They have stating 'We acknowledge your request to claim interest to date, however, this would be at the discretion of a trial judge if the claim did proceed to a trial hearing.' I think I am content with this outcome, and pushing this to a trial for a total interest of £15.30 throughout the claim does not make sense to me.   What are people's thoughts? I am sure our courts have better things to concentrate on?

    • 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 accounts with 1and1 Internet (1and1 Limited) www.1and1.co.uk

Been a customer for over 15 months and must of spent over £1000 in that time.

1 of my packages is for a Virtual Private Server at £34.99 + VAT

I downgraded this package to a £14.99 VPS. I have since been sent a invoice for the old package which is incorrect and 1and1 Acknowledge this mistake.

So I have been over charged by £20.00 on the invoice.

1and1 want me to Pay the Incorrect Invoice and will then provide Credit for the £20 at a later date.

The incorrect invoice is dated 27th June 2010 and have sent about 7 emails, 5 phone calls to try and get this sorted out. I am not refusing to pay, just not willing to pay an incorrect invoice.

1and1 have said unless I pay the invoice, my accounts will be suspended.

How can a UK Company act like this, Demand payment for an incorrect invoice and then issue a credit note. Its been over 25 days and they have not issued a credit note.

If they suspend my accounts, all my emails will stop working.

Any Advise please?

Been told, unless i pay £48.41 inc VAT by Monday my account will be suspended.

 

I should only have been billed £14.99 + VAT

 

They are based in the UK and dont reply to any of my emails, phone calls.

 

Ive asked to speak to someone senior within the company and they refuse.

You might want to move that blog if you start getting any traffic, as 1and1 have every right to shut it down as it's on their servers.

 

Personally, I have my domains with godaddy or namecheap (or 123-reg for uk domains) and then use either hostgator, midphase or hostnine (latter has uk-based servers) for hosting.

 

I have used 1and1 in the past and tbh found them to be pants. And, I would rather use cpanel hosting on reseller accounts now - which works great.

Hi Essex,

 

It's rip-off Britain, there are some contact details here

United Internet AG - Impressum-Hauptsitz

 

You could threaten them with small claims court, breach of contract.

It's actually a German company. Any letters send recorded.

 

Give Consumer Direct a ring Consumer Direct

 

 

Depends where you bought from, but getting consumer direct onto 1&1 limited: WebCHeck - Select and Access Company Information might be better.

UK-blog.co.uk is now with 123-reg not 1and1 - dns should of been updated and pointing to the new server

 

if your dns as updated, you should see a site that looks like

 

here is the blog link >> 1and1 Internet Limited

 

1an1.jpg

 

You don't need to show me a screenshot, I'm not stupid.

 

I'm guessing you must have moved it over this morning? (as all of the dns records haven't updated).

Sorry Zingy, i was not calling you stupid, just wanted to make sure you was getting the correct page thats all.

 

You're okay. I'm not your average joe public who knows sod all about t'internet and the like.

 

Why did you choose a subdomain for the blog anyhow? Thought a nice aged domain would do better with the big G (and a few more posts that are fully pinged (as well as a load of links) should get you some traffic etc).

 

Also, there's loads of people who have moved away from 1and1 etc, see: 1and1 Hosting Reviews - Read 1and1 Hosting Web Hosting Reviews at WebHostingTestimonials.com

Hiya Zingy

 

reason for using a sub domain for the blog, is so i can use the main domain for like a index to all the sub blogs (sub domains)

 

 

so http://www.uk-blog.co.uk/ would have a Index page full of content etc and then it would have links to all other blogs such as http://1and1.uk-blog.co.uk/

Each to their own I guess.

 

I don't use subdomains any longer as they offer no real benefit; they are treated as new sites by google and if you start to get some serious traffic then you'll get sandboxed for a good six months or so from G (I speak from experience).

 

Good luck with it.

Why do google sandbox sub domains? if google class them as new sites

 

It's too much to go into on here, but they don't know the validity of your site as it hasn't been around for long and blackhatters use subdomains a lot to [problem] the system.

 

So, in essence, your site isn't trusted by Google - it wants to see what you're going to do etc. Just as if you're given financial advice by a guy in his early 20s who has just passed all his qualifications to be an IFA, compared to someone who has been in the position for 10 years+ and has many satisfied clients. You'd probably be inclined to place more credibility on the latter guy's advice than the first.
