    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf
    • Thank you for posting their WS. If we start with the actual WS made by the director one would have doubts that they had even read PoFA let alone understood it. Point 10  we only have the word of the director that the contract has been extended. I should have had the corroboration of the Client. Point 12 The Judge HHJ Simkiss was not the usual Judge on motoring cases and his decisions on the necessity of contracts did not align with PoFA. In Schedule 4 [1[ it is quite clearly spelt out- “relevant contract” means a contract (including a contract arising only when the vehicle was parked on the relevant land) between the driver and a person who is—(a)the owner or occupier of the land; or (b authorised, under or  by virtue of arrangements made by the owner or occupier of the land, to enter into a contract with the driver requiring the payment of parking charges in respect of the parking of the vehicle on the land; And the laughable piece of paper from the land owners cannot be described as a contract. I respectfully ask that the case be dismissed as there is no contract. WE do not even know what the parking regulations are which is really basic. It is respectfully asked that without a valid contract the case cannot continue. One would imagine that were there a valid contract it would have been produced.  So the contract that Bank has with the motorist must come from the landowner. Bank on their own cannot impose their own contract. How could a director of a parking company sign a Statement of Truth which included Point 11. Point 14. There is no offer of a contract at the entrance to the car park. Doubtful if it is even an offer to treat. The entrance sign sign does not comply with the IPC Code of Conduct nor is there any indication that ANPR cameras are in force. A major fault and breach of GDPR. Despite the lack of being offered a contract at the entrance [and how anyone could see what was offered by way of a contract in the car park is impossible owing to none of the signs in the WS being at all legible] payment was made for the car to park. A young person in the car made the payment. But before they did that, they helped an elderly lady to make her payment as she was having difficulty. After arranging payment for the lady the young lad made his payment right behind. Unfortunately he entered the old lady's number again rather than paying .for the car he was in. This can be confirmed by looking at the Allow List print out on page 25. The defendant's car arrived at 12.49 and at 12.51 and 12.52  there are two payments for the same vrm. This was also remarked on by the IPC adjudicator when the PCN was appealed.  So it is quite disgraceful that Bank have continued to pursue the Defendant knowing that it was a question of  entering the wrong vrm.  Point 21 The Defendant is not obliged to name the driver, they are only invited to do so under S9[2][e]. Also it is unreasonable to assume that the keeper is the driver. The Courts do not do that for good reason. The keeper in this case does not have a driving licence. Point 22. The Defendant DID make a further appeal which though it was also turned down their reply was very telling and should have led to the charge being dropped were the company not greedy and willing to pursue the Defendant regardless of the evidence they had in their own hands. Point 23 [111] it's a bit rich asking the Defendant to act justly and at proportionate cost while acting completely unjustly themselves and then adding an unlawful 70% on to the invoice. This  is despite PoFA S4[5] (5)The maximum sum which may be recovered from the keeper by virtue of the right conferred by this paragraph is the amount specified in the notice to keeper under paragraph 9[2][d].  Point 23 [1v] the Director can deny all he wants but the PCN does not comply with PoFA. S9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN only quotes the ANPR arrival and departure times which obviously includes a fair amount of driving between the two cameras. Plus the driver and passengers are a mixture of disabled and aged persons who require more time than just a young fit single driver to exit the car and later re enter. So the ANPR times cannot be the same as the required parking period as stipulated in the ACT. Moreover in S9[2][f]  (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; You will note that in the PCN the words in parentheses are not included but at the start of Section 9 the word "must" is included. As there are two faults in the PCN it follows that Bank cannot pursue the keeper . And as the driver does not have a driving licence their case must fail on that alone. And that is not even taking into consideration that the payment was made. Point 23 [v] your company is wrong a payment was made. very difficult to prove a cash payment two weeks later when the PCN arrives. However the evidence was in your print out for anyone to see had they actually done due diligence prior to writing to the DVLA. Indeed as the Defendant had paid there was no reasonable cause to have applied for the keeper details. Point 24 the Defendant did not breach the contract. The PCN claimed the Defendant failed to make a payment when they had made a payment.   I haven't finished yet but that is something to start with
    • You don't appeal to anyone. You haven't' received a demand from a statutory body like the council, the police or the courts. It's just a dodgy cowboy company trying it on. You simply don't pay.  In the vast majority of these cases the company deforest the Amazon with threats about how they are going to divert a drone from Ukraine and make it land on your home - but in the end they do nothing.
    • honestly you sound like you work the claimant yes affixed dont appeal to anyone no cant be “argued either way”  
    • Because of the tsunami of cases we are having for this scam site, over the weekend I had a look at MET cases we have here stretching back to June 2014.  Yes, ten years. MET have not once had the guts to put a case in front of a judge. In about 5% of cases they have issued court papers in the hope that the motorist will be terrified of going to court and will give in.  However, when the motorist defended, it was MET who bottled it.  Every time.

    • 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.

Here's another link - I cannot figure out how to correct the one above.

 

Jobcentreplus Call Centre Staff to strike

 

I'm not surprised. Call centres for Welfare matters do not work well, particularly for the broad range of vulnerable people that DWP come into contact with. Since the DWP reduced customer facing roles and implemented call centres there has been a steady decline in service, and many are not able to even utilise the service. And with the public sector cuts coming, the service is only going to decline further. As if people don't wait long enough as it is for their benefit decisions.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.

That situation looks horrendous. The best workforce is a happy workforce.

This is going in a totally different direction, ruling with a rod of iron.

 

The management will get what they deserve, hopefully.

you are soo right about this. Its bad enough being fully functional and complying with their rules. I dont know how people who are not so fly with admin and organising their stuff manage! :!:

 

Not all Job Centres are created equal they appear to be competing for some sort of accolade from the government about targets.......and finding someone's benefits to sanction so they can bang it back in the coffers and feel a sense of achievement at the hardship and detriment of that person! :sad:

 

I was given the run around by one of their call centres when I was last sanctioned.......different people gave me and my advocate different advice over a 2 day period.....they lied and said I would be receiving money when in the end no such thing was planned I was exhausted my advocate was tearing her hair out and I nearly had a breakdown. :x So at this point in time Ive got not sympathy whatsoever for them.:razz:

They can't cope now, how the hell are they supposed to cope with less people, when unemployment rockets in the next few months?

i have been referred to the shaw trust because of my anxiety and they keep pushing the 16 hours line,this can trigger other things is the claim.

 

i could not live on the money 16 hours brings,i would have to pay council tax that rapidly drops away,dental costs, ongoing prescription costs,loss of fuel discount.

 

all it seems to be about is just enough to get someone out the job centre door and they could not care less that someone could afford to live.

 

enjoy the freedom a job brings is also claimed,i cannot see how if the figures dont add up.all this is going to do is increase illness with worry and no doubt result in recurring doctors visits'.

I have to agree with you there JSA12.

 

When I got to the JC yesterday my PA had been sent some Tribunal forms from the old JC that she had to clarify with me as to exactly which claim I was taking them to Tribunal for?:shock: So I told her all what had gone on there and how I was bullied and harassed to the point of collapse etc. I was really surprised when she encouraged me to put another Tribunal in regarding the last sanction I had over not producing my job log when I was under stress living a hostel and had just been for a worrying mammogram the same day. I remarked that I thought I couldn't do this as the time had passed. Oh no she said its never to late to do it. So thanks to her I'm going to take this nasty piece of work who rubbed his salary in my face the same day he sanctioned me to Tribunal if I can.

 

She also showed me that some entries had been deleted off the computer with regards to one of my Tribunals which was the one in which they said I never turned up for my signing and I did and I had to make a rapid reclaim. Interesting!

 

I explained that the two sanctions I had been given and the connection to the volunatary appointments I had made. She said oh we NEVER sanction anyone for missing a voluntary appointment here.

 

I cannot believe how nicely Im being dealt with in this new JC. I feel no threat from them and Im doing all I can in terms of what they ask me to do. Im even going weekly but do not feel anywhere near as much anxiety as I did with the old JC.

 

Have you done a would you be better off in work assessment? I was told not to bother with jobs at 21 hours but to look for jobs around 30 hours. You shouldnt lose your rent or have to pay council tax at 16 hours but you need to check on this as Im not 100% sure!

 

I started taking St Johns Wort for the anxiety and thats also worked. My stomach is not going into clenching knots now and it feel so much better!

sadly this bad treatment contributed to by bigotry is prevelent in job centres up and down the county,the fact they have either triggered the anxiety or contributed to the cause potentially is no doubt what has brought about the change,they are leaving themselves open to claims by these practices and continued bad publicity,given the past experiences they tend to back down very quickly.going to the gp with anxiety usually means the antidepressants are prescribed,the job centre and their contractors are not keen on people on medications,no doubt its seen as a barrier however depression is often rife with long term unemployment.

 

st john's wort is an alternative to prescription drugs,i have never tried it and the two should not be mixed but sadly the necessity to remain on either or begin in todays world is growing.

The St Johns Wort certainly works as Ive been on it before and I dont take prescription drugs at all. Another one is Nytol but I havent bothered with that one.

 

I have no anxiety at all now since Ive been taking it. I take two a day one in the morning and one in the evening. I am able to think straight when I go to the JC and I dont get agitated. I feel calm and chilled. Its widely used in Germany instead of prescription meds like Proxac etc....
