    • Ok thanks, I really need help with my mental health over this I’ve called 111 Hi sorry just one more thing can they contact my workplace?
    • Sorry to shatter your leftie dreams 🤣😂🤣😂     Donald Trump gets a SIX-POINT bump in approval after being found guilty on 34 counts according to snap Daily Mail poll: 'I think it was a waste of taxpayer money' WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan... James Johnson, who conducted the poll, said Trump might be waking up as convicted felon but he was winning over the voters who matter.   Our snap poll of a representative sample of likely voters shows that for most Americans the trial has not changed their deep-set views of Trump,' he said.  'But amongst those who are open to changing their mind, people feel more positive by a margin of 6 points. That is outside of the margin of the error of the poll and we are saying that is significant. 'It extends to Independent voters too. Look at the explanations and it is clear why: people feel it was a politically motivated trial and view Trump as a "fighter" against what they see as injustice.

    • It’s all with current lenders and no missed payment to date. so with any reduced payment to them it’s likely to be going to debt collectors at some stage. we jointly own a property together me and my partner 
    • It’s all unsecured loans and credit cards. Mainly loans now though as most credit cards are paid off.   so 95% unsecured loans.   I just don’t know my situation job wise it’s almost impossible to say whether it’s likely or not just don’t want to be caught out by it. My mental health trying to pay this off has taken a huge hit also if I’m being honest. I feel like mentally I need some kind of respite and the credit file cost is something I can accept also.

    • 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.

So this afternoon i found a parking ticket on my windscreen, i went to Frankie and Bennys for lunch, the pay and display is free for 2 hours but you still have to get the free ticket from the machine, i simply forgot to get one, 2 hours later i see a ticket on my windscreen.

 

What is your advice, ive been issued with a PARKING CHARGE £90 if paid within 28 days but reduced to £50 if paid within 14 days.

 

Thanks

 

Ian

The advice is to ignore the company. They can only claim for actual material loss that has been suffered. In this case it's zero. Do not communicate with the company and ignore all correspondence from them. UKPC are in court next month facing various charges brought by Trading Standards.

The thing is on the Parking charge it says time first seen 15:00 and issue time 15:08 :lol: i read this as uve seen the car for 8 mins and youve given me a ticket,

 

Also i wasnt even the car park for 2 hours yet they give me a ticked so if they have cctv they can time the time of me being parked there, by the way this was in a retail park.

They can`t enforce it, same as if I sent you a fine cos I don`t like your shoe colour and demand a million pounds...

Private companies cannot issue fines only send threatening letters of court etc they would lose anyway so they never bother.

Just ignore it and get on with your life with a big smile.

It doesn't matter where you are parked, you don't owe them a penny.

 

Cant they still take me to court etc... as i didnt read their signs and get the free ticket? i see cases where these companys such as OPC take people to court?!

Well their immoral not illegal, You could put a sign on your front door saying anyone knocking here has to pay me £10. Only no one would pay and you would have a problem convincing a court that the fee was reasonable!

 

This private companies are in the exact same position. They can ask you to pay, you can simply decline. [by ignoring them]

Yes dont contact them, I had same with NCP wihich I thought big big company, appealled,(always ignore with standard letter) then found this site and they had trouble convincing me as each letter arrived, more scary than the last!

I was even told all the 6 or so letters would say and who they are from.

 

Like what I said earlier, I could start a private parking company and it would be the same as if I started a "watch your colour shirt co" and fined people if I didn`t like the colour of their shirt.

It`s simply that the former would be more convincing to people as there are "real" parking enforcement in the form of council wardens etc so we KNOW they exist.

 

We are just not sure about the law when it comes to these fake ones that cannot enforce anything, despite what their website may say and what letters they send.

 

They are simply relying on the numbers game and people`s ignorance to the law and scaring people with bad words like CCJ, debt collection and magistrates court.

 

Yes I was worried but finally convinced and thought , well if I end up in court and end up paying a bit more then so be it, but if I end up paying nothing at all then I have won, so I got my 6 letters and it finished!

Just like magic! Well just like the people on this site said it would so I sent 10% of the "fine" to this website for their time.

 

Then proceeded to tell all my friends and family about it and have saved them money too!

because ive seen cases on here where people have ignored them and they have been taken to court and sometimes lost and sometimes won

I can tell you now that there is a 99.999999% chance that this will never go to court. This is especially true of this particular parking company who are themselves due in court next month facing several criminal charges.

If you are so stressed out about it pay them £50, you have no need to, people have told you to ignore them. If you cant take the stress pay them before it increases!

 

But don't be surprised if it does not end there!! We have seen people pay and then get a letter saying their payment was processed late and they now owe the full charge. Or being charged again for the same ticket!

 

Two choices then pay or ignore!

You're letting emotion take precedence over fact, which is exactly the response these clowns try to encourage.

 

Chance of court is still

 

Over the years we've seen about 45 court cases, out of probably a million tickets. The PPC's have won about 8 of them.

 

So you have about a 1 in 125,000 chance of being taken to court. That's about half as much chance of getting 5 numbers on the lottery.
