    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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.

Have already posted to Chadley regarding colour issue, ticket should be invalid if colour missing or wrong. The word 'Offence' is not allowed because there has been a decriminalisation regarding parking misdemeanours - the word contravention must be used. Lots on this site about this, so worth doing a search. Hope this helps!

As far as I'm aware incorrectly stating a vehicles colour will not invalidate the ticket. A court will make allowance for minor errors on tickets because the bottom line is that it makes no difference as far as being to identify the vehicle is concerned so isn't prejudicial to the administration of justice.

 

If the make, model and VRM is correct then that's good enough to identify it.

 

Also, how would you identify a vehicle such as those limited edition Polo's that VW turned out a few years ago where each panel is a different colour? The little Smart cars rarely show the colour that is listed on their V5 as the major coulour as a percentage of the vehicle. The plastic body panels are interchangeable so the colour on the V5 is actually the colour of the painted metal bits which are the bits that can't be changed. The colour of the car in the picture here is black, not red.

As stated in Chadley's thread, the colour of the car can invalidate the ticket - but really obvious errors like green not red, black not white. Shades in between will normally go in favour of the issuing authority - after all, the car has been issued for a parking contravention and unless the model is wrong nine out of ten tickets will stand.

Thats because yours is not a local authority ticket. By not putting it, you can't say they got it wrong.

Hi,

can anyone help?

 

re: fixed penalty

 

my wife parked in a street AWAY from our kids shcool, (there are lines in front and across the road of the school) up a side road adjaicent, where there where no yellow lines.

 

A pcso (or whatever those new assitant police officers are called) give her a ticket for "unessessay obstuction" when the car was parked on the straight part of the road, but near a bend NOT on the bend.

 

The ticket states the car as being Grey, when it is silver, there is only one date ("on 13/03/07) it has the word offence in it, not contravention and the street name looks like Maple Grare instead of Maple GROVE before i just go a head and pay it, do you think i have any grounds to appeal it? and if so do i just send a letter or ask for it to be dealt with by the court?

 

any ideas would be great!

steve

Hi

As an x police traffic warden sorry to say you have no grounds for appeal colour is uninportant,offence is the correct wording as it is a PCSO issuing not the council.

The only chance you might have is to prove your wife was not causing any obsruction how far from the bend was she parked could vehicles pass her safely.

As this is an FPN issued by a PCSO, it's only function is for you to decide to pay and end the matter ot opt to go to Magistrates' Court to fight it.

 

If you opt for Court, the FPN is voided by the issue of a summons

 

Only in the PCSo's statement to the Court do the details have to be correct.

mine doesnt have a colour at all, no space for one either. also doesnt have make or model, only the registration???

 

There is no requirement in law for the colour of the vehicle to be written on a PCN. Thus not having one at all does not void the PCN.
