    • Referring back to to your initial post... So not a judgment ?
    • I have never heard of any such law. Please post a link to what you have read online that explains this law. And please confirm whether you were ever married to or in a formal Civil Partnership with your Ex.
    • Today has been hectic so  have been unable to complete the whole thing. If you now understand it and want to go ahead with a complaint to the IPC, fine. If not then I won't need to finish it. But below is my response to your request  on post 64. No you don't seem stupid, the Protection of Freedoms Act isn't easy to get one 's head around at first. The part of the above Act referring to private parking is contained within Schedule 4 which you can find online under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012. Section 9 of SCH.4 relates to how the parking scrotes have to perform so that they can transfer their right to pursue the keeper from the driver when the PCN is still unpaid after a certain amount of time. In your case the PCN was posted to you the keeper and arrived within 14 days from when they claimed a breach occurred. That means they complied with first part of the Act. The driver at that time was still responsible to pay the charge demanded on the PCN and PCM now have to wait for 28 days to elapse before they can write and advise the keeper that as the charge has not been paid, that they now have the right to pursue the keeper. They claim they sent the first PCN on the 13th March, five days after the alleged breach and it arrived on Friday 15th March. So to comply with the Act they have to observe Section 8 subsection 2f   (f)warn the keeper that if, after the period of 28 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice is given— (i)the amount of the unpaid parking charges specified under paragraph (d) has not been paid in full, and (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------So the first PCN was deemed to arrive on the 15th March and for 28 days to have elapsed is when the time is right for them to write and say you are now liable as keeper. So they sent the next PCN on the 12th April which is too early as you could still have paid until midnight of the 12th. So the earliest their second PCN should have gone to you was  Saturday 13th April so more likely on Monday 15th April. The IPC Code of Conduct states "Operators must be aware of their legal obligations and implement the relevant legislation and guidance when operating their businesses." So by issuing your demand a day early, they have broken the Act, the IPC Code of Conduct, the DVLA agreement  to abide by the law and the Code of Conduct not to mention a possible breach of your GDPR .   I asked the IPC  in the letter on an earlier to confirm that  CPMs Notice misrepresenting the law was a standard practice for all of PCMs Notices or just certain ones. Their distribution  may depend on when they were issued and whether they were issued in certain localities or for certain breaches. Whichever method used is a serious breach of the Law and could lead to PCM being black listed by the DVLA . One would expect that after that even if the IPC did not cancel your ticket, PCM could not risk going to Court with you nor even pursuing you any further.

    • 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.

i did find this mildly amusing,

 

You may find it amusing but I do not think you or your Solicitor would if he/she was foolish enough to raise that as a defence.

 

You ask how much it would cost and that is the reason you came here. If you done it properly it would have cost you £2.10. Now it will undoubtedly cost you or your parents a lot more.

 

Also you state you usually use your "Motorbike" I presume as you are 16 you mean a Moped, if not you may find yourself in further trouble in the future!

 

As SRPO stated if you ask questions on an open forum then don't expect the answer to suit your situation. Anything stated in this thread is accurate. It may not be what you want to hear but sometimes and as you are young it can be forgiven it is better to hold your hands up and just say fair cop!!

Bye!

 

Even allowing for your tender age I believe you should show more respect to members here who have probably forgotten more then you will ever Know. If you ask for opinion it may not suit you however what these members have said is perfectly true.

 

I did not enter into this thread as I do not know enough about what you were asking. I posted as I believed a comment posted by you, which was used by your solicitor to be at best bigoted or could be deemed racist. For an educated person as your solicitor should be to even make a statement such as that is beyond belief.

Before you think I have a chip on my shoulder I do not, I do not need to say who or what I am, except I am a human being. As such I find any bigotry or racism abhorrent.

 

The question you ask is unanswerable as it depends on to many if's and but's. No one could give you the answer you wish to hear!

 

You again have probably not got past the first line because the reply does not suit you. I hope for your sake the authorities deal with you leniently and not take you to court. However I would suggest if you are taken to court you adjust your attitude to people wiser and more experienced then you. Or it could cost you more then you wish.

Sean you have been man enough to apologise and admit you may have been wrong. I think if you have the same approach with the train company it will help. Although you may feel you had a perfectly good excuse as to why you boarded the train without a ticket or the means to pay, Can you honestly say the rail company would except what you say as an excuse.

As for the punishment it depends so much on your own circumstances of which no body here knows!

 

For instance if I was unemployed on benefits and a millionaire and I were on the same charge you would presume the fine would be tailored to punish us both fairly. I would be towards the lower end and I presume near the upper end for him. Then you can get Magistrates who look differently on different cases!

 

I don't know what stage this is at but I if I was you would write a letter stating that you realise what you have done is wrong. You are sorry and that if possible because of your age and damage to your future whether this could be dealt with without going to court. If it is at the court stage then address the letter to the magistrate.

 

Regards an actual figure I don't think anyone could give you the exact amount but I would assume if it is your first offence it would be nearer the lower end then the top end!

 

I hope for your sake the worry this has caused has been enough and the train company let you deal with it outside the court room.

 

Also I do not believe anyone thought you to be racist I was just somewhat taken aback that a solicitor could make such a statement. And they thought that it could be used as a line of defence!

 

Good luck I hope it is nearer the £0 then the £1000

I think you and I are right. At 16 the moped/motorbike has to be 50cc or under and restricted to 31MPH. Although I believe there is a trend to retrofit a 70cc cylinder and de restrict them and pray you get away with it.:-)

 

Mind you this has nothing to do with the OP. Then again he would be wise checking if it is indeed road legal. I dont think he needs any further trouble.

Though i was certain all aspects of my bike where completely legal (i'd be surprised if my parents allowed me on the road if not) i have checked with my father and the internet and my girlfriends step dad (a hairy bloke with a TL1000 and many years in riding) and it is completely fine.

I do however appreciate the concern. :)

 

Hi Sean does it do more then 31MPH8-) The 50cc is ok but it should not be able to do more then 31MPH Although most of the strangled hair-dryers around my area do.

The irony isn't lost on me that we have Sean on here who made a few mistakes (of his own making to be fair) and is listening to the advice given to him, yet infiniteseeker jumps in giving his own opinions when he clearly is not listening to advice given to him!

Have a look at both threads and make your own opinion.

 

Just what I was thinking seems to have a problem with companies who charge for their services?
