    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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've just applied for DLA for my three year old son due to his developmental problems. I'm not sure he'll qualify but my Health Visitor and his Social Worker seem confident he will be awarded something.

 

I'm a single mum on full benefits. I get Income Support as a Lone Parent, Child Tax Credits, Child Benefit and CSA off his dad. Do I need to inform any of these that I have applied for the DLA or do I just wait to see if he is awarded anything?

 

(His dad is aware of the application so no doubt has already informed the CSA in the hope it will reduce his payments)

Wait until he's awarded something. Mid or high rate DLA means you're entitled to carers allowance and won't need to start looking for work once your son reaches 5. You'll also get extra child tax credits for having a disabled child. Not heard of anything which says that DLA means you'll get less CSA. I don't see why it would either.

DLA is wawrded to to the child, for the disabilities he /she has and is disregarded for income purposes, your ex will still have to pay support at the required level, again this is for the child and should be used for only that purpose and not for running expenses of your household bills. Any income must always be declared if not you run the risk of being pursued for overpayment, as nanny always said "Honesty is the best policy" always declare any income to the DWP everytime, also depending what level award they are given you may also be allowed to apply for a blue badge and/or a free bus pass look for this when you receive you award

You are welcome, personally if I had extra money for the child I would put it in a savings account and let the interest accumilate and they will have a nice nest egg for when they leave home, Also if you are awarded DLA for them the household will have protection from certain people like bailiffs and DCA's (debt collection agencies), which helps in many ways, also you may want to look at getting a discount card for the local services like swimming and so on, goto your local council and ask at reception for anything you else that may benfit your childs health and welfare, also look into applying for carers allowance and a things like that, hope this all helps you. Then if you are awarded the higher rate for

mobilty you can get a free VED (vehicle excise disc) for your car

I don't drive so won't be needing the blue badge. Whilst your suggestion about the savings account is nice the extra money if I get it will be going on things he needs like nappies etc as he is still in them night and day and the bigger they get, the more expensive they get.

what I meant to have said is save SOME money no disrespect to mums and dads that have child support, I am a single dad too and have custody of the child, i have a problem with my mind it does'nt work normally and say write the things slightly different to what I actually want to say/write if i offened sincere appologies offered, if like me you like the thought of going swimming/activities your local council may do as ours does and off a advantage card, so like when I go swimming the cost is normally £4-50 the seesion with the card i can go for £1-00 instead it's worth the look at

Well much to my surprise my son has been awarded DLA at the middle rate for personal care. I have spent the week informing the DWP (as I claim IS as a lone parent), child tax credits, my local council (as subject to the bedroom tax) and my Housing Association. I have to take the decision letter into the Council Offices tomorrow so they can scan it and add a copy to my file. Can you think of anyone else I need to tell or do I have it covered?

You don't need to drive or have a car to apply for a blue badge !

 

I don't drive or own a car get my BD due to receiving (DLA mobility rate high) and use blue badge in friends and family cars when out and about !

You can apply for lower mobility once he turns 5. He may also be entitled to a bus pass (I'm not sure how it works with children - the general criteria is high mobility or refused driving licence for medical reasons other than drugs or alcohol) due to his disabilities.

Also if you are awarded DLA for them the household will have protection from certain people like bailiffs and DCA's (debt collection agencies), which helps in many ways,

 

Could you please explain how having a DLA award will protect people from bailiffs and debt collection agencies if you owe people money?

 

Does having a DLA award somehow wipe away debts?

 

I'm just thinking - I have a DLA award (HRM & MRC) and also have a mortgage. Is there any way that that debt can be cleared?

 

I've never heard anything like it.

 

If you owe money, you have a responsibility to repay it in full. Using an excuse that you receive DLA certainly would wash with me if I was knocking on your door or trying to sieze your goods.

It doesn't clear the debt but it places you in the 'vulnerable' category. If you ask your question on the bailiff forum then I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will explain in full

Hi all

 

Just a quick question. My son (age 4) receives DLA at the middle rate for personal care. Had a letter from the DWP today saying he is getting a £10 Christmas Bonus. He's only been receiving DLA since last March. Does everyone on DLA get a similar bonus?

 

Thanks in advance
