    • all DYL's are subject to a TRO. looking at this newish, ever increasing as old ind units have gotten removed, estate, there are only lines on one side, on the other there is a parking lane with traffic calming through which you mention. i seriously doubt your mate has any clue what he is talking about.!! its not a private housing assoc estate. so its a public council owned road. no construction co can just decide to draw their graffiti on a road. the DYLs are certainly there pre 2016 even before his home was built. now ive had a quick look to see if the main access to royal park road has signs. there is no royle park road even on your map but there is a royal barn road which leads to where you are parked royal road has a restriction sign on the pole by the fence of the electric substation jnc with gipsy lane there does not appear to be one leading in from the other end - tesco petrol station
    • Hi All. I was driving in Stevenage down a 40 road after coming off the motor way, i noticed my car felt a little "weird" i accelerated, then slowed the car down.  Shortly after i got stopped by a manned police car with a laser. During the stop the officer stated i was doing 54 in a 40, the conversation was short, but he said i would unlikely get a awareness course and it was most likely 3 points and a fine.  Mrs thought it was a good idea to have dairy when she is lactose intolerant on date night, we just got on our way.  At the time, i didnt admit to the offence, but did say i didnt realise and had slowed down in any case. The officers chest camera was recording and on. At the stop, he asked where to send the fine to, as i knew i would be travelling to visit family up north, i provided my temporary details at that location in Yorkshire. It is now 05/05 and i haven't received anything at either my home address in Stevenage or the temporary address. 1. Is there a time limit in which paperwork needs to be sent to me. 2. Should i query the ticket as i don't want to miss any deadlines (if so who do i check with?) OR should i keep quiet. 3. Given nothing has arrived in 20 days, is there a chance of appeal if and when it comes through? Many thanks CrazeUK
    • Hi All. A family friends car was having issues when she was on a trip visiting family up north at the begining of January.  She ended up leaving it at my friends garage in the same location, who parked it on his forecourt to investigate the issue, howver he said most likely it is beyond economical repair as its a serious gearbox fault. In the meantime i replaced her car with one of my spare cars. The insurance on the car then expired in at the end of January.  When the insurance expired, I sent a paper V890 paper as i didnt have her V5 Reference number in hand to do it online (i have a copy of this).  She didnt mention she hadnt recieved any confirmation as she didnt know if she would get one.  She then cancelled her road tax at the end of March (i think) as she was paying by DD. She then was travelling up north so didnt get her ,ail until last week. She recievd a letter dated 09/04/2024 stating she had failed to insure the vehcile and there was a £100 fine which could be reduced to £50 if she respons by 11/05/2024.  As soon as we noticed, i got her to dig  out the V5 and SORN'd the vehicle.   My friend has been a bit slow in checking the fault, however i suspect it will still be scrapped and is still on his forecourt. Is this possible to appeal?
    • worthy to not forget Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8615870.stm  
    • Hi All. I went to visit a family friend in Rochdale on a new housing estate opposite a old row of houses. The location is Royle Road, Postcode OL11 3PE. I was originally parked in parking bays outside the old houses, then moved the car, when I noticed my tyre was flat, so parked on what looked like double yellows to use his air pump to check and inflate the tyres before we left the house.   In the time i went inside to sort the pump and power supply i got a PCN.  The tyre then got changed (has a puncture) and we left. PCN Number:         RE######## Date:             04/05/2024 Time:             20:36 Observation:         20:34 to 20:36 Reported location:     Royle Park Road Reason:        Parked in a restricted street during prescribed hours (Code: 01) I believe this PCN is not correct and has grounds to appeal: 1. My friend who moved into the property around 6 months ago, swears that even though it has old double yellows marked, they are not current or council marked.   He said the property development company had said they had marked them for ease of access during development. 2. The road i was parked on was Royle Road.  The PCN was issued for Royle Park Road, which is about 400 yards up the road. 3. There are no sign posts or marking showing parking  restriction hours in the entire area (there maybe on Royle park Road). I have attached a map of the Location where i parked as a red dot. I have 2 questions: a.  Is there a way to check where double yellow lines are marked on some register to check if they are current? b. Can my grounds of appeal simply be, wrong location, wrong offence? Thanks in advance. Map_20240505.pdf

    • 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.

What happened to me is got of the bus and tried to catch the train but unfortunately missed it and approached by inspector who didn't want to listen anything and issued me with a thin slip by saying that someone will write to you but he has taken all the details of what happened. I had my oyster with me as well which I didn't swipe which entring merely coz I was in a rush and thought that I would ticket in thr train but I didn't even boarded the train and he has not given me enough time to go back and purchase it. It was national rail. Well luckily he got previous address and the last nane right and rest of the details wrong like ni number first name and date of birth and I don't live at that address anymore, need to know what happen next.

Hi

The slip just got the prosecution dept. address on it and also allows you to travel from place to another on same date so that you can complete your journey. But any way right after that incident I purchased extra ticket for the next train to catch as in that process I already missed two trains just coz of that stupid inspector who was only lookin at his commission which he will get he issues mevthat slip. First thing I didn't board the train and second I was in possession of oyster card plus enough money to buy tens of tickets like that and the third and last is he stopped me in error thinking I was getting of the train.

The slip also says " if fail to carry, passenger to send a copy of their season ticket within 14 days to the address below." which is the prosecution dept. Address.

What would you recon shall I wait for their letter which probably I'll not receive as the address is not the new one or shall I just forward them my tickets which I bought layer along with my oyster number and the copy of that slip so that the matter will remain in control.

He was so dumb that he has written that the passenger crossed the point without the valid ticket and tried to board the train and in my comments he had written that I forgot to swipe my oyster ad I was in a rush to catch the train.

If he has recorded what he saw, and also he has also quoted what you said ..... how does that make him "dumb"?.

I agree. This appears to be a case where the OP did not hold a valid ticket and has given false or inaccurate details, but realises that s/he may be traceable from the details given and is now concerned that s/he may be caught out.

 

If the OP has given their former address it is often very easy to trace where s/he has moved to. Clearly the inspector has only recorded what the OP provided and if the OP has only given their name and former address, but not their correct address, they could well find themselves facing a charge of attempted fare evasion in due course.

 

 

But any way right after that incident I purchased extra ticket for the next train to catch as in that process I already missed two trains just coz of that stupid inspector who was only lookin at his commission which he will get he issues mevthat slip.

Buying a ticket after being reported does not prevent prosecution of a charge of attempted fare evasion. The Act says '..having not previously paid..'

 

The inspector does not get commission on prosecution cases

 

A Pay-as-you-go Oyster that hasn't been touched in is not a valid ticket

 

How much money you are carrying has no bearing on the offence

 

It is possible to bring a prosecution whether the traveller has made a journey or not if evidence of intent to avoid a fare can be shown. The Regulation of Railways Act (1889) actually says 'If any person travels, or attempts to travel...'

 

Unless the OP decides to contact the rail company I guess s/he will just have to wait to see how 'stupid' and 'dumb' the inspector was. Maybe the OP will hear nothing, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Hello again.

 

I'm not one of the experts, but I would say it would be better to deal with this once the letter arrives. We've seen people here before who train companies have caught up with, some years later. I believe it's possible, and someone else will confirm hopefully, for a case to go ahead in your absence and a verdict be handed down. This could happen if you don't receive or don't open the letter.

 

And the Oyster system can track people, there was a very interesting programme on BBC2 recently.

 

My understanding is that if you are on railway company property, like the platform, you need a ticket, not just on the train. This could be why he wrote 'that the passenger crossed the point without the valid ticket'. There may well be a notice stating this.

 

You should write and apologise, as you say, and then it's up to the rail company if they want to accept your apology and offer to pay the fare and reasonable admin expenses, or take this further.

Gr8 reply .So basically you are suggesting that I have to wait for their letter to arrive no matter if it takes a year or so and then reply and if I'll not then they will definitely take it to court and prosecute me in my absence.
