    • 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.

Bloody 'ell - just got a call from a 'friend' at JCP to inform me of yet another doubt made against me by my last advisor! if you have been reading my posts you will know that I had a complaint against an advisor upheld and was transferred to another branch of Ingeus - all good and well, put it behind me and moved on - got a letter in from JCP today saying they are stopping my money for two weeks due to last advisor saying that I would not participate in her work programme!!!

I left this advisor on the 15 Sept, went through their complaints procedure and my complaint was upheld, met with the regional manager a couple of weeks ago who advised that said advisor was no longer 'doing that job' and offered me a place within another branch. Now little advisor raised a doubt beginning of this month!!! the little [edit] is no longer an advisor and I am no longer with the farce of a branch! This is further evidence of her malicious intent towards me!!!

Worth making another complaint? God knows what she is going to do next!

Needless to say JCP is taking my side in all of this and have overturned their decision and no sanctions will apply - but I am getting sick of this!!!!!!!!!!

Had the appointment at Ingueus today at 4pm. Always feel anxious and physically ill going into this building. Not so much the way I've been treated (so far),but the fact that I know the WP will not do anything for me! Have been put on a program called ''Personal Routeways''. Supposedly a tailored solution. Anyone heard of it? The woman I saw also said she'd never had anyone on this prog wanting to go self employed such as myself.

Interestingly, she said I needn't bother signing an agreement that allowed Ingeus to contact a new employer. I wonder why? ;-)

 

You might want consider withdrawing your Data Protection consent

Found a full-time job, the work programme didn't help at all. I've rescinded all permission for them to contact my employer. Though I asked JCP if they would inform them, and had 2 advisors tell me that it was the provider's legal right to know, and the only thing I could do is not to tell JCP the employer details. Not true I'm sure - though will be writing in block capitals in my booklet that they are not to inform the WP of anything other than the fact I am working.

 

They lied to you. They have no legal right to know. They worried they wont get their money. Make sure you withdraw consent with both the provider AND JCP........otherwise the provider will ask JCP to get the info they need.

You know the old saying...."If you pay peanuts you get monkeys"..... Advisor s are under pressure- reach their targets or their fired.....their not trained, not experienced and shake with fear when you stand your ground... I know a couple of advisors and they hate their jobs, always looking to leave...............and they have no idea whats in the provider guidance.. sad isnt it.

Hi all, spent a long time reading this forum from page 1 tonight, ah the joys of unemployment :p

 

Just received my summons to go back to Ingeus after my 18 week vacation to their subbie. I have a feeling they're going to be more rigorous this time around, but thanks to you guys i know where to come if they give me grief. Though a funny thing has been troubling me. Recently i started getting text messages to my new phone from a debt company. Thing is, Ingeus are the only people/company who have this number for me and i never give it out willynilly online or in real life, which begs the question, has someone bought my Personal Info from Ingeus? or have they sold it on and whomever bought it has sold it on again?

 

[edit] Ingeus have everything about me on their database, i want to be the WP Guinea pig, so to speak lol

 

Dont give Ingeus your number... you dont av to.....all you are obliged to give them is your address... thats all...... Never give them your email, mobile or land line.... get all communications by letter, that way there is a record ....

The advisor can "recommend" a sanction, that's all...and they must have a good reason for doing so too... its up to DWP/JCP whether its applied or not, and you have the opportunity to state your case.. ..

 

Provider guidance quote...

 

Chapter 6. P1, P20. Raising a Compliance Doubt

 

The Labour Market Decision Maker (LMDM) is the only person legally allowed to ask a participant for a good reason and make a good reason decision. Once a compliance doubt has been raised, the participant will be asked by the LM DM to provide a ‘good reason’ reason for not complying.

 

See also Decisions, Reconsiderations and Appeals

Chapter 6. P 62, 63, 64, 65

As an ex-advisor myself, I can tell you most providers have a high turnover of staff. check out the Ingeus / A4E / Serco websites for vacancies...all round the country.! They dont keep staff long... My friend who still works there jokes about receiving a long service medal if you last 2 years...lol

Allowing these pimps to authorise sanctions on clients was the worst thing you could possibly do.

 

"We are all in this together" - David Scameron :!:

The trend started with the idiocy underpinning New Labour 1997-2010, through the New Deal and Flexible New Deal, which achieved nothing other than making W2W pimps extremely rich at the expense of the taxpayer - but lets not begrudge Molly Prince of Close Protection UK her State Funding, or even Emma Harrison of A4E with her reported £8.4M Bonus and Harrisson charging A4E £20M for the use of her "Family Mansion".

I suppose that, for the unskilled, a two year stint within the W2W Sector will at least allow them the confidence to step up in their job expectations.... say, working in a Call Centre.

Hiya Rebecca

 

Makes me wonder why every "advisor" I talk to, as never read the Provider Guidance... How do they expect to "play the game" if they don't know the rules of the game...!

 

The cherry on the cake, as they say, was my first advisor who, when asked if he had read the Guidance... replied..

"WHAT GUIDANCE".........!

So if they don't meet targets they're fired? And if a client refuses to tell them the employer details they get in to trouble? When I fumed at my advisor for contacting my employer and she said in an e-mail 'we made a very brief call to verify you started work which has now been made, they will not be contacted again' is that lies or what? Did she do this so she wouldn't get in to trouble?

The W2W Pimp, from recollection, will only be able to claim £215 for every 4 weeks for a maximum of 2 years where the candidate is i) in a job, or ii) registers a business and becomes self employed. My belief is that, every 4 weeks, an employer will be harrassed by a Clerk representing the W2W Pimp to confirm the employment status of the candidate.

I know but is that why the advisor was lying to me?because if she failed to get the payment off the job I have the advisor will get pressured or harassed

Hi all,

Has anyone got any Info on Fork lift courses run by "The Retail Academy" in Liverpool?

I have been offered "Fork lift training" By Ingeus, But, AFTER agreeing (and the initial "mandatory" appointment being made) I was informed that I first had to do a four week Retail course.

Before I could attend unfortunately, I had an accident resulting in me being on ESA for a few months.

I'm now back with Ingeus and waiting to be put on this course, BUT a friend is in the final week of it and informs me NO Fork Lift training is available due to "lack of funding".

I was originally offered this back in early Summer, was there funding then or is this another lie by Ingeus ?, Has anyone done this course AND the fork lift training?.

If the training "offered" (mandated) is not actually available then surely this is fraud, and one that we could possibly prove. :madgrin:

I read elsewhere a review on what it's like to work for ingeus. They said something about having to get through 30 clients a day and do all the paperwork involved.

They tried to get me to do a course in retail, even though that wasn't my first choice of work agreed by the JC. If they MANDATE you to any course offered and you don't attend, the pimps won't hesitate to recommend a sanction.

 

And if you're being offered a fork lift course, why must you do a course in retail first? I don't see how they're related, sounds like a quick expense claim to me.

 

As far as I'm aware, ingeus claim back the expenses of the course from DWP. It's clever how they do it, as far as DWP are concerned these 4 week courses will help us back in to work. But we really know that's not the case.
