    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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 about Osborne parking in a disabled bay?

 

 

It was on private land so the bay had no lawful standing. No markings of any sort on private land have any legal standing.

 

This is very typical of the gob****e Mirror that sole purpose in life is an attempt to discredit the tories and not publish any news worthy of reading.

It may not have any legal standing but the principle was it was still a disabled bay. Perhaps the driver had a badge ?

I don't understand why the Tory' s don't just come clean and admit that they want to grind the unemployed, sick and disabled into the dirt. It might be political suicide but it would be honest. The trouble is what happens when they push people to the point where they have nothing left to lose?

Danny Alexander, isn't he the Politician who told us that the WCA was in meltdown and hundreds of thousands of people were being wrongly found fit to work? And then had a change of heart when promoted?

You said it yourself. political suicide. If they tell the truth, how will they keep power? If they don't keep power, how can they grind us into the dirt? As for being honest, show me any party who is honest.

That's rich, coming from someone who quotes the Mail as his source of information.

 

Anyway, someone has to criticise the tories, because I sure don't see the Murdoch press or the Beeb doing it!

The media is suppose to be the guardians of democracy and hold the government to account its actions

 

All i see is a media just facilitating a party political agenda

 

Governments are able to push this spin because the media support it

 

I am bitterly opposed to press regulation, but the article linking those poor kids to party political spin, and supported by the Murdoch press was totally contemptible, for which the editor should be prosecuted

Not necessarily so. Back in the olden days of the Disability Discrimination Act, action could be taken where services to the disabled were provided and then allowed to be taken away, ie misuse of the disabled parking bay, non-disabled use of disabled toilets etc. With the Act being subsumed within the Equality Act then it is quite probable these powers still exist. They are simply not policed as they should be ...

Plus, quite simply, whether legal or not, it is a matter of morality, something Gideon obviously lacks. But then, we already knew that.

Hi Mate,

It's all in your first line, "suppose". yes but it's not how it works. You know each paper has it's own Agenda. From the Morning Star to the Mail and all in-between you will see each putting their own twist on things. I don't believe I'm saying anything you don't know. I agree with your point on press regulation, it's a very dangerous and slippery slope. Sad though it may be, I think the price we pay for a free press comes in the form of the despicable article you mention.

regards

i would sooner have no press than what we have now, continued brainwashing of the public

(NEURO-linguistic programming) , no substance, and political spin

 

The problem is people are starting to believe the garbage that is printed daily and turning people against each other, that is a dangerous game to play

I understand where hes coming from, but 6 children have just died, its kind of sick. Weve just had bedroom tax, what is he going to cut next?

If we're really, really lucky, maybe his own throat. A bad shaving accident perhaps? We can only live in hope.

I myself think the reason the army has been brought back from Germany is that the government really do fear mass civil unrest

 

These policies of the government are making a lot of ordinary working people very angry

 

I still think the government has more draconian cuts up its sleeve against the general population, and that the unrest in Europe may soon be hitting our shores in a big way

AS IF

 

brits are so conditioned into knowing their place(class) in society that we do not do unrest

 

we just go "TUT" and pull a face and continue to let the **** happen

 

if only we had the hot headed spirit of southern europe

With the greatest respect, I ask you to think. Has the twisted press fooled you? No and have they fooled me, no. Again, with respect I humbly suggest most people have a brain, not everyone takes the Mail as gospel. I don't know about the programming you mention but I'll look it up.

I'm not having a go at you but when someone speaks for other people, I.E. I can see through this but others can't, that when I start to worry.

This site is a great example of mixed views and I have yet to see any extreme thread get anything like a mass support. I will put my faith in people, they can't all be fooled at the same time.

With respect

[Edit] I was in the same square at the same time. It was a rough time for some. It was also an ecstatic time for some of us!

P.S. I for two am not a sheep.

This is an old point, I.E. the army in N.I. had a perfect training ground to deal with unrest on the mainland and that theory was most popular in the '90's.

But I don't put it past this shower of P**S to put it into being. They seem to have no limits to their arrogance. If it goes that way, there's me, you and who else in Trafalgar Square?

Exactly, Have a read back through this thread and then step back and look at you all whinging about nothing.
