    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Ok so!.. Here goes, I am due to sign on this wednesday (even though it's not my sign in week) I have been signing on for around 7 months now, I am in london staying with the other half and for me to go back to huntingdon to sign on then come back again would cost £44 in train fairs.. Although I am not at home in huntingdon I am applying for jobs in and around London as there is no jobs what soever in huntingdon!.. I told them that iw as applying for jobs in london but they didn't really have much to say!, They told me a few weeks ago that I'd not be signing on this week as It would return back to every 2 weeks but this isnt the case :(

 

I am only recieveing £30 a week under the hardship scheme as they stopped my JSA for a while because I didn't apply for a job that was printed out even though it was the wrong type of work and they didn't inform me that i HAD to afree to apply for everything they print out and give to me

 

Shall i tell them the truth or will they just stop my claim or say it's my fault i should waste £44 when i only get £60 every 2 weeks :-x

 

Once i get a job in london I can move here full time but until then It's gonna be hard

 

What you think? :jaw:

The guy upstairs seriously has a problem with me.. Nothing seems to go right!!!:|

My son went to another area to stay with someone and look for work in the area. He informed the Job Centre (or what ever they call themselves now a days) They said it was OK for him to sign on in the area he was staying in. He had to ring and make an appointment to sign on and he received his money as usual.

It will be worth your while ringing and asking them. Tell them you are looking for work and will be moving to the area permanantly if you get a job there. If you fail to sign on you will loose your two weeks money and will have to do a reclaim.

I know you can take holidays in the UK and still receive your JSA, its when you go abroad that it can/will be stopped.

 

Hopefully one of the CAG experts can help you more.

 

Sorry to hear about your JSA being stopped, did you appeal, if you fight these decisions often it is overturned, the same thing happened to me, and I wrote 2 page letter compalining and showing them whilst I didnt apply for their (unsuitable) job I did apply for many many others in my career field (IT Support).

Just phoned them up, bswitch board put me through to cambridge's office but they said it should be ok aslong as i am looking for work in london i can sign on at my local office, fill in a form and then they will fax it through to Huntingdon, Just need to wait for huntingdon to phone me to say yes and what time i can go to my nearest office. Thanks guys!

 

------UPDATE------

 

Just received a phone call back from them, they said they are willing to let me sign on at Palmers Green this time only, If i am here again and I would like to sign on at Palmers Green again they said they would have to transfer me permently. Well atleast it saves me £50 train fare tomorrow!
