    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [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 states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [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; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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 guys, ill try and get right to the point, yesterday [friday] at 1 aclock, i rang up for a crisis loan, i went through the process over the phone, he asked me all the questions etc, then asked me how id like to be paid, i said my bank account, he took the details etc, he called me back in 10 mins, and said my application for a loan was a sucsess i can have 58.65, he said it will be in my account within the next 3 hours, end of call..so i went for a nap, by the time i woke up it was late..so i decided to wait till today [saturday] to go and collect my crisis loan from my bank, and buy some shopping and pay some bills, well i went to the cash machine, and what a surprise..nothing was in there...no 58 pound, absolutely nothing, apart from the 5 pound i had in from my previous jsa payment, and yeah, im desperately ineed of some money, and the worst thing is, its Saturday, the jobcentre are not open..and nor are they open tomorrow, so guys i know its a long shot but..i have 2 questions..1.has anyone experienced this before, and what could have been the reason? maybe he put down the rong bank details during the process? or a glitch in the system.,.2.is there anything i can actually do today, to find out where my money is? or do i have to wait it out, be hungry, and have no heating, until i call them up on Monday????

i doubt anybody here can answer your question, as far as i am aware there is no way to contact the dwp at weekends, have you tried asking your bank if there is a credit waiting to go into your account?

I can only agree and try asking at the bank if there is a credit due to go in or not.

The Crisis Loans section won't re-open now until Monday.

Do you have any friends or family members that you could ask to help you out over the weekend?

I don't mean to sound funny either but you state you had £5 left from your previous payment can you withdraw that directly from the bank at least you could get some basic food items with that.

Guest jsa12

you should have arranged picked up a giro from the job centre,this is usually after a certain time pm and taken it to your nearest post office.

 

its always handy to just keep a little for a few days' food,as you have found out like many of us.

yeah i usually do pick it up from jsa office, and then go to post office and cash it, but this time he give me the choice..post office..or bank account i choose bank account, as it saved me walking all the way down to the jobcentre then all way in town..as this way i could just go to local cash machine and draw the money out...hmm would my bank tell me if there is cash waiting to go in?, also could one of you nice guys give me the exact number i should ring, my bank is halifax

that's what i thought Vicky i found it strange myself, but that's the two options he give me..i just called them, and guess what, apparently there was a problem with my payment..absolutely ridiculous honestly, if i diden't call them today, id literally be sat waiting for ever.., basically she said your application was successful, but then some where down the line something went wrong, we apologize for this, then she said, you will have to be issued with a new payment, we will give you a call with in the next 2-3 hours, and hopefully your money will be put in to the account without any further problems..ffs ive been waiting since friday...its now monday, and still its not 100% sorted out anyways thankyou x

All I can suggest is keep pestering them. I know it seems like this will make things worse, but it doesnt. Unless you keep on at them they wont rush it, why should they? Its not them left with no money. Or thats how it certainly seems the attitude is anyway.

 

I would also suggest asking them if it is possible to get a giro counter payment instead of a payment into your bank.
