    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • Yes, it was, but in practice we've found time after time that judges will not rule against PPCs solely on the lack of PP.  They should - but they don't.  We include illegal signage in WSs, but more as a tactic to show the PPC up as spvis rather than in the hope that the judge will act on that one point alone. But sue them for what?  They haven't really done much apart from sending you stupid letters. Breach of GDPR?  It could be argued they knew you had Supremacy of Contact but it's a a long shot. Trespass to your vehicle?  I know someone on the Parking Prankster blog did that but it's one case out of thousands. Surely best to defy them and put the onus on them to sue you.  Make them carry the risk.  And if they finally do - smash them. If you want, I suppose you could have a laugh at the MA's expense.  Tell them about the criminality they have endorsed and give them 24 hours to have your tickets cancelled and have the signs removed - otherwise you will contact the council to start enforcement for breach of planning permission.

    • 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.

I actually think it does, we have lived abroad for many years, in the EU and on the wall in the British consulate was a letter saying No British national living in that country cound not use there NHS. Our NHS has a limited amount of founds in it. Only last night on the News London British whites where now in the minority, How can this be fair,when we are doing the worlds countries disabled before we do ours. I think we should only look after the ones who have lived generations on the British Isles. So yes I do think it does have everything to do with Goverment and Foreigners.

 

What's being white got to do with it? There are many British Black people and there are many foreign white people.

Quite. My wife and I chuckle about this a lot, as she is a foreigner. But of course, she is a white anglophone foreigner, so I guess she's one of the "good" ones that nobody gets upset about.

Aren't most British people descendants of immigrants or invaders? How many Brits can claim to be true Brits in that all their forefathers were British born and the same for their mothers? We have had Romans, Vikings, Danes, Normans, Scots, Welsh etc., invade England so unlikely to be any true blue Englishmen around. :-D

I think that when it comes to the next election we need to vote David Cameron and the Conservatives out of office. He clearly hates anyone claiming benefit, he has no idea about how every day life affects us, maybe he should try living a week on benefit and see how he copes!! His attitude towards genuinely sick and disabled people is very very worrying. He reminds me in a way of Adolf Hitler!! Shame on you David Cameron your a bloody disgrace and I hope you get voted out next election!!

I would take this with a pinch of salt as it is just another way for him to get his name into the press. I don't think that they or any other government would have done it much differently.

If we didn't have a deficit, why are we still borrowing such huge sums of money?

 

We are giving away too much in foreign aid abroad which is why we still borrow money!!

No we aren't and no it isn't. But we've been through this already in the thread - it might be an idea to read back a couple of pages.

Exactly. My father is half English and I believe he has relatives who came over here from America, Malta and possibly Canada.

The new rules have come into force full time and the government is pleased to announce a drop in the unemployment figures, total rubbish is what these figures are.

 

The rules have always stated that you have to be actively seeking work, before that would involve asking companies, any company if they had any vacancies, NOT NOW, it seems that you can only include companies that are actually advertising for a vacancy, or face getting your benefits cut, and I mean all your benefits, and no you cannot claim anything else, if you have kids then you can still claim child benefit, this benefit will replace your JSA, and could be for up to 3 years.

 

For me it was 4 weeks of no money and my friend buying me a weeks worth of food on 2 occasions so I didn't starve, I have no gas for heating, and am hoping to god my electric stays on till Friday, when the sanctions are finally lifted, worse of all no one at the jobcentre explains the new rules fully to you, the jobcenter in Luton alone is sanctioning something like 60 to 100 people a week.

 

Appeals have failed and now I am behind on all my bills, Aldwyck is now giving me 7 days notice to seek a possession order for this place, I have no gas for heating, I am praying my electric will last until Friday when the sanctions are finally lifted.

 

A recent maintenance case almost had me banged up for 6 weeks because I have no money, and will only be put off if I can pay 20 quid on Friday, so I am hoping to god that they don't muck up the payment I am due on Friday or a warrant will be issued for my arrest.

 

I am now expected to live of £ 53 a week because they are taking out £17.53 a week out of my benefits, by the time they all claim their payments I will be left with 30 quid a week to pay all my bills, gas and electric, food and I am still expected to actively look for work.

 

With the jobcentre in Dunstable closed all inquiries have to be made via Luton, some 4 miles away, and £ 3.50 bus fare, you are still expected to find this even though you have no money coming in.

 

You have no access to the decision makers both when you appeal and at any time during the sanctions in place as it is all done behind a veil of secrecy.

 

I was relieved that I did not go to prison but sitting here with my coat on indoors, no money for gas til Friday which wont last for the entire 2 weeks anyway, I am just wandering if I had not been better of just letting myself get banged up.

 

Xmas, hm what xmas

 

The jsa states that law sais you need 71 quid a week to live on, summit they forget when it suits them.

 

as for getting it awarded due to hardship, no chance, so I AM SCHREWED

 

As for the papers and mp's getting involved to help the voters, they are nowhere to be seen

 

I have tried to explain to the jobcentre people and showed evidence to backup my case that due to having

 

2 prolapsed discs l4 & L5,

nerve damage on left side of L5,

scoliosis, and

now developing sciatica on my left side mostly,

 

and as such, cannot do manual handling ( something they accepted in my previous claim ), that I cannot apply for 80% of the jobs I see, that I still have to find 14 vacancies to apply for.

P_Valentine, why is £17+ being deducted from your payments? You're welcome to complain on this thread, but if there's anything the guys can help you with, it would be worth starting a new one so your posts don't get lost in the noise.
