    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.
    • Defence and Counterclaim Claim number XXX Claimant Civil Enforcement Limited Defendant XXXXXXXXXXXXX   How much of the claim do you dispute? I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1. The Defendant is the recorded keeper of XXXXXXX  2. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. 3. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer. 6. In a further abuse of the legal process the Claimant is claiming £50 legal representative's costs, even though they have no legal representative. 7. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • 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.

This really worries me. I have a friend who is a welfare officer at a 6th form college. Most days she deals with a 6th form student who has been thrown out by their parent, or who has been abused by people within the family unit and needed to leave, and are therefore homeless. Night-stop house them for up to 5 nights and she spends hours finding places to stay for the young people on a longer term basis. Without housing benefit where will these young people go? She deals with new people daily! On the streets obviously, or they will have to give up their education at age 16/17/18 however far into their courses they are and take any old job at minumum wage if they are lucky enough to be able to find something. It's atrocious.

every time they open their mouth garbage utters forth...they moan about people under 25 claiming this and that...and how unfair it is..what about people who are working low paid jobs, but still having to claim HB? will they lose out as well? young people today have enough pressure in even finding a job without this unbelievable announcement...

Isn't it lucky that these young energetic people with no work (when there is massive unemployment) and no home (as they have no rent) will realise "we are all in this together" and not turn to crime. Obviously they wont riot either, and with the French intending to push for making prostitution illegal in all the EU, that can't happen either.

 

But to say tories have future plans to penalise the unemployed after two years is pretty irrelevant, as they wont be in power by the time it would meant to be coming into force.

 

Its quite alarming though that the newly xenophobic Ed Miliband (who seems to have forgotten his parents were Belgian and Polish) is the only offering up to replace cam.

 

Anyway, if it continues this way - the "little Englanders" fuelling these attitudes are likely to become far less xenophobic when they see the only available work for them will be travelling to Poland to stack shelves!

the lack of thought that has gone into this announcement...fuels more hatred towards those who are already struggling on a daily basis...now penalise the young generation..who mostly are trying desperately to find those non existent jobs...which according to this govt...will lead them to paradise and beyond....laughable really

Here we go again "let's beat the benefit scroungers"!!!!!!!!!! will he ever stop?

I have read the BBC article and the Mail on Sunday and to say the very least am totally disgusted at both. I thought it was politically incorrect to stereotype people but this is what he is encouraging people to do.

The labour spokesman had it right when he said:

 

It is easy for rich Tories with big houses to have grown-up children at home while they find their feet. It’s different if you live in a tiny council flat and your daughter is a single mum.’

 

David Cameron himself has himself made use of the welfare system, by claiming DLA, when he didn't need it due to his financial situation but chooses to forget this..........

Why people under 25? We're not all scroungers. Or is being 26 and HB and other benefits more acceptable? Some people under 25 do taxes like everyone else working.

 

This hasn't been thought through:

 

Depending on where you live, depends on what type of jobs there are in your area. Where I live, it's a huge fish factory and care. I am unable to do either of these jobs. I can work in IT. If I want to work in IT, I have to move. How can I if Cameron won't allow me to have housing benefit?

his hypocrisy knows knows no bounds...from benefits to tax evasion....this is pandering to the 'hang em flog em' brigade....but underlying the rhetoric its frightening....divisive, and it is ill thought out as usual....they will only be happy when we are all working 20 hours a day, for less than minimum wage....slave labour beckons...what a legacy to leave our future generations...

What's Cameron and Co doing about his friends and their tax avoidance scheme, where they set up a company in Jersey and stack massive amount of tax free money there and then his rich friend gets back a salary from that company in the form of the minimum wage at 1% tax payable, the rest is taken back by way of a loan from their company that they have set up. Of course there is no tax due on a loan and this scheme legal.:| TAKE THAT for a cunning scheme you can also get an honour for it as well. :-(:|:x:mad2:

I feel all MP's should be self-employed and let them earn their salaries and pay out of it their expenses, why should we pay for a lavish life style for them and their families. It is not that they are good at their jobs and being self-employed would be way of getting rid of the dead wood ie not up the job and just in it for the gravy train. :mad2:

Also they are hell bent on getting disabled people back to work when they know very well that employer will not make adjustment for them. Large multi-national retail employers will not make adjustments as it would be too costly for them, a disabled friend of mine that been working in one of 'YOUR' well know high street retailer that supposed to be a good employer on the face of it, but it took his employer 2 years to purchase a small piece of equipment costing less than £300 and it was only purchased when he took them to a tribunal.

And Tony Blair is only paying 3% on the 12 million earned last year. They are in it for self-interest and nothing else except punished the poor for being poor. :|:|

how much worse can it get?

 

Government to end extended payments

 

The new benefits system will disincentivise people to work by abolishing temporary payments which cover claimants’ housing costs when they find a job, the Chartered Institute of Housing has warned.

 

Currently, claimants who have been unemployed for six months can apply to receive four extra weeks of payments when they find a job.

The payments, often known as ‘run-ons’, cover claimants’ housing and council tax costs and are intended to incentivise people to find work. This is because people are less likely to struggle to pay bills in the early weeks of their employment.

Under draft regulations for the universal credit , published last Wednesday, extended payments will be abolished.

How about stopping MPs payments for buying/renting, furnishing and running a second home near Westminster? Is it not a form of housing benefit?

 

It is their choice to accept this employment so the should fund it....... they get paid enough for doing very little to be honest, except cause the people who pay them and have afforded them this privilege by stupidly believing their empty promises.

I don't understand the obsession with getting disabled people into work when there's 2.6 million plus people out there who are unemployed and can work.

Ah you see there's the misunderstanding. It's never been about actually trying to get them back into work, it's just a weak excuse to throw as many people off benefits as they can.

 

Remember ATOS is the company telling claiments they're well enough to work, whilst informing their potential employers that they're too sick to be taken on.

 

So It's a no win scenario imo.
