    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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.

Finally!

 

I would just like to say though, that as a Scouser myself, most of us know of at least one person who lost their life that day, or who's life was devastated. And for the person who lost his life that I know, it is too late for his Father who passed away 5yrs ago, so Justice? Yes - it's just a pity it is 20 some years too late.

 

RIP to the 96 - The truth always wins through ~Justice for the 96~

 

Edit: It has just been revealed that 41 of the 96 could have been saved that day, had it have been dealt with properly.

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

The report finds flaws in the police operation and new evidence that the police carried out checks on those who had died in order to "impugn their reputations"

 

The report finds 164 statements were "significantly amended" and 116 "removed negative comments" about policing operation.

 

 

The panel finds that a total of 41 people out of 96 "had the potential to be saved".

 

This is absolutely horrendous..

Thanks citizenb, I have it on the TV at the moment - it's quite hard to watch though, bringing back some awful memories, so I can't begin to imagine what the survivors and families are going through.

Hillsborough papers: Cameron apology over 'double injustice'

David Cameron has said he is profoundly sorry for the "double injustice" of the Hillsborough disaster.

Speaking after an independent report into previously unseen documents about the disaster, the prime minister said police had failed to do enough and then tried to blame the Liverpool fans.

Ninety-six fans died after a crush at Sheffield Wednesday's ground in 1989.

What really upset me, was when the fans were accused of being drunk, and breaking into the stands - they weren't and they didn't, the police opened the gate, then shut and locked it behind them, they couldn't get out.

 

The boy I knew was only 14, his Dad was never the same man after that.

 

I will never forget that day as long as I live, I watched it unfold live on the TV, then had to see the Sun newspaper print photographs of the dying/dead, crushed with their tongues hanging out of their heads! I will never forgive the Sun newspaper for that, and will not even allow a Sun newspaper in my home.

It was a horrendous thing to have happened and I am pleased that today we are closer to getting some true facts but the one thing I am not sure about is the fact that they are sayingso many people could have been saved, wont that be worse for the families who are now thinking was my loved one alive, could somthing have been done etc etc ?

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

This, I think is a difficult question. If they are going to attempt to an overturning of the original Coroners report from accidental death to unlawful killing, then this is an important issue that needed to be made.

 

It is a dreadful thought to now have to live with, I agree.

Phillip, I think you will find the newspaper will protect themselves by saying they only published the information that was given to them by the Police !

 

Of course they will conveniently forget that they didnt simply report facts given to them, but sensationalised the story as well.

I hope that the families can now get some closure on what was a truely tragic event. My heart goes out to every one of them.

 

Not taking away any of the seriouness of the situation, this was truely preventable. The report refers to a previous incident between Spurs and Wolves in 1981. 8 years before this tragedy. I was at that game that day, and in the very end where these people lost their lives. That day a similar incident was prevented by the stewards opening the gates to allow hundreds of Spurs fans onto the pitch side, to relieve the pressure. We were shepherded into pens around the ground. I eventually ended up in the Wolves end, totally opposite to the Leppings Lane end. To say the day was horrendous for us, could not come anywhere near to what happened to those poor fans that fatal day.

 

 

May this flame burn eternal, last time i visited, i was worried my tears would extinguish it.

I watched the response to the reports live from HOC which was on for most of day live.

Some of my friends and one of my brothers also attended the gathering outside St.Georges hall which went into the evening with 1000s turning up.

Its clear that while many always believed was a cover up,no one was prepared for the details and extent of deception that has actually been revealed.

There wont be any closure until the persons who were responsible are named and prosecuted.

There will be no relenting from those who have waited almost half a century to get to this point....todays disclosures should pave the way to that closure.

All the apologies from the Sun now will change nothing-the paper has remained off limits since 1989 not only in Liverpool,but to a great number of Merseysiders.

I think the last time I saw the HOC so sombre was after the London bombings,politicians from all sides forgot their indifferences and came together Andy Burnham has been a fighting force throughout and I remember watching his speech at Anfield 3 years ago when he said that the truth would come out.

He was at the HOC this afternoon and later joined the people at St.Georges hall.

For the world audience who have been following the events after the reports were revealed,I think the first thing they will be asking is how a cover up which involved so many,could ever happen in Britain.

They wont be alone-the same questions will now be in the minds of Britains themselves.

This very well could have been a tragedy on the same scale, I had no idea this had happened 9yrs earlier TonyCee, thankfully a disaster did not happen and you're here to tell the tale. Those perimeter fences were quite obviously an accident waiting to happen.

This has to be the biggest cover up in British history, and I pray that each and every person who can be held accountable is - not only did they lie about the causes of this terrible tragedy, but they actually lay the blame of the dead at their own feet, and the feet of those who survived, there are no excuses, this is a disgrace beyond comprehension.

 

It was said yesterday at the press conference, that the people of Liverpool have a huge sense of right and wrong, and a spirit and determination like nowhere else - I think this battle of 23 years proves this statement beyond any doubt.

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

There had been many warnings about Hillsborough for years, the moment the news came out that day, most football fans worked out that it was the Leppings Lane End where the deaths happened. The FA did nothing, South Yorkshire Police did nothing, Sheffield Wednesday's directors did nothing...

 

It's about time somebody was brought to account

Well I had no idea about this at Hillsborough, although my OH said he knew! (Men huh, now he tells me!) - And it is about time someone was held to account!

 

The Sun newspaper have made me sick today, with their apology, I notice they didn't make the apology the headline!!

Life is like an echo, it all returns......The good, the bad, the false, the true......So if you give life the best you have, the best will come back to you.

I am so glad about the massive media coverage the Hillsborough Report has had since yesterday. Here in Liverpool, despite knowing about how big the cover up was - no one believed us, until yesterday. Even though I already knew much of what happened, even I was shocked at the extent of the cover up.

 

Andy Burham was at Anfield for the 20th Anniversary, and was heckled something terrible. He promised he would help - and he did! How often can you say that about a polician? The following year Andy Burham was again at Anfield at the 21st Anniversary, but he wasn't with the VIPs - he was just in with the crowd, couple of seats away from me. That was the first time I thought "Justice is coming" - I just knew it.

 

It's the bereaved families who have received most of the praise, rightly so. They have conducted themselves in a dignified and brave manner, and they have nothing but my admiration for the courage they have shown for the last 23 years.

 

I hope now that there are some criminal convictions for those responsible for this tragedy.

And now it seems as if the those police responsible are finally going to have a criminal investigation! It also looks as if they will face criminal charges!!!!

 

I also agree Phillip, Andy Burham? What a good man!!!!

I'm not Andy Burnham's biggest fan but he deserves some thanks for doing something that many bigmouths in that so-called Labour government couldn't be bothered to do. This was an event that affected a lot of people regardless of which team they supported and it's still disgraceful that so much was covered up. I just hope this stays in the news for a little while, because there are a number of people involved in this who deserve everything that's coming to them...

Sir Norman Bettison, who is now the Chief of police for West Yorkshire (sadly West Yokshire just about covers the town I live in so it's taking me all I have to keep schtum) is still in todays newpapers blaming the Liverpool fans!

 

Here is the link for the Telegraph, and it also has the document of Norman Bettisons statement: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/news/9541325/Hillsborough-police-chief-Sir-Norman-Bettison-claimed-fans-attacked-stewards.html

 

I say he should first off be stripped of his Knighthood, and Kenny Dagleish should be given one instead! Then drag him and all the others through court by their meat and two veg - finding them guilty as accused, charged and found!!!!!!!

 

I know it's late, but I can't sleep with this gale force wind, so have just seen this on the news!!
