    • Well done with the photo. Of course the signage is insufficient.  PPM are not interested in competent management of a car park, they are interested in catching drivers out so they can issue their PCNs. For a start, according to their trade associations' Codes of Practice, they are supposed to have signage at the entrance. Any e-mail reply from the company and whether they will/won't/can/can't get the invoice cancelled?    
    • I will annotate the message I sent for the forum.  Sorry, didn't see this straight away...
    • I went back to the area, this photo is taken on entry. My vehicle was parked in the first space on the left.    Would you say there is sufficient signage ? It’s different to the street view as one sign is missing. The sign nearest to where I parked is 2.23m above ground! So even if the car had been reversed parked in front of it, I don’t think it could be seen. PCN PPM.pdf
    • Thank you. I expect that @dx100uk will be along soon to give advice. Meanwhile, I really wonder whether the default date – as being the starting point of the six years – something which has been decided in law. It has always seemed to me to be extremely unfair. According to the limitation act, the six year period begins from the date on which the cause of action accrued. This normally means that the breach of contract occurred. Section 6 of the limitation act says that in terms of loans, the cause of action begins on the date that the debt was "demanded". Over the past two years this has come to mean the date that the default notice was issued – but I have to say I don't find that very satisfactory. If you received demands for payment before then then I don't see why section 6 shouldn't refer to that date. Did you not receive any correspondence at all in 2017/2018? What was the value of the original loan – and how much you pay off? I see that there was some kind of instalment agreement. Tell us about that. See what my colleague @dx100uk says but anyway, if I were you I would send off an SAR immediately both to the claimant and also to the original creditor. It costs you nothing. There is no downside. Get in the post straightaway with some kind of utility bill establishing your identity. You can even include a copy of the claim form as well as proof of your identity

    • 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.

Here's one there's apparently no answer to, my Dad told me it years and years ago - and it's very annoying :lol:

 

A man is standing on a bridge, he is contemplating jumping off - after a couple of hours he decides to jump!

 

Where is the Man while he is jumping?

 

He's not on the bridge, as that's before he jumped, he's not in the air, that's after he jumped!

ah, but you asked where is he while jumping, not where he had jumped.

when he began to jump, indeed he must have has contact with the bridge to give himself lift, but during the jump he was in the air.

 

 

what goes up a chimney down, but cant go down a chimney up?

You're driving your 2 seater sports car. It is starting to rain very heavily as you drive down the deserted road. There is a bus stop, with 3 people.

1 is an old lady who will surely die of hyperthermia

1 is the your true love

1 is a true friend who once saved your life.

That's what bugs me about this riddle, it can't really be answered - and it drove me insane for years from being a small child :lol:

 

What goes up a chimney down, but can't go up a chimney up? I think I've heard this one - is it an umbrella?

The paragraph below is unusual. How quickly can you find out what is so unusual about it? It looks so ordinary you'd think nothing was wrong with it - and in fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Why?

 

 

"Gatsby was walking back from a visit down in Branton Hill's manufacturing district on a Saturday night. A busy day's traffic had had its noisy run; and with not many folks in sight, His Honor got along without having to stop to grasp a hand, or talk; for a mayor out of City Hall is a shining mark for any politician. And so, coming to Broadway, a booming bass drum and sounds of singing, told of a small Salvation Army unit carrying on amidst Broadway's night shopping crowds. Gatsby, walking towards that group, saw a young girl, back toward him, just finishing a long, soulful oration ... "

Three salesmen went into a restaurant for

lunch and ordered the chef’s special for £10

per head. Therefore, the total bill was £30.

 

After the meal each man gave the waitress

£10 and she took it to the cashier. The

cashier said” there is an additional discount

of £5 if three meals are ordered at once” and gave

the waitress five pound coins change.

 

The waitress pocketed two of the coins and gave a £1

back to each man telling them there was a small discount

on their meal. Each salesman had given £10 and got £1

change. Three £9s are £27, the waitress took £2 which

amounts to £29. What happened to the other £1?

Very good the way you worded this and it did have me scratching my head for a while :lol:

 

They each paid £10 = £30, they got a £5 discount, which amounted to £25, she took £2, and gave them £1 each (which is £3), so their £3 + her £2 = £5 + £25 = £30!

 

I love it! :lol:

I'd give the car keys to the true friend, and let him take the old lady to hospital. I would stay behind with my true love and wait for the bus with them.

 

It's a very old moral dilemma job interview question to test lateral thinking.

It goes in dry ,comes out wet and gets stronger and stronger the longer it is in there. What is it??

 

Roses are red, Nuts are brown,

Skirts go up! Pants go down,

Body to body, skin to skin,

When its straight,

You stick it in!

The longer its in, the stronger it gets,

It goes in dry

Comes out wet, it comes out dripping it starts to sag,

It isnt what you think...

It's a tea bag!

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)
