      NPE ANPR PCN Hire Car (TAXI) - No Permit - Locton Estate, London, E3 2LP

      By lookinforinfo · Posted

      Ok I got the Parking company wrong. Sorry. The WS Witness Statement  is what you will need to complete if NPE decide to go to Court. So are you saying that when they finally got round to sending you the correct documents, they dated the new NTH the same date as the original NTH? I hope you have kept the original one and the correspondence with NPE, yourself and the ICO. So yes, please post everything up.

      Payments made to Lowell via Payplan not credited to account. Can I dispute debt amount?

      By London1971 · Posted

      Why are you paying them anything? you are just running out the statute barred clock to infinity. Personally I'd stop paying them immediately, and ignore any further communication from them unless it's a letter of Claim.  Also have you moved since taking out the Credit card, if so you need to write to them with your current address.

      No they must've redacted the contract, that was like that when I received it. Yes correct I was there for 90 seconds!  Yes I uploaded the whole contents of their response to my CPR31.14, which included the original PCN

      Payments made to Lowell via Payplan not credited to account. Can I dispute debt amount?

      By polishchap · Posted

      Hello, I have an old Capital One credit card debt under £1500 for which I've been paying £1 a month for 5+ years. I did a CCA request to Lowell and received the original signed CA plus statements from date of inception to the end of 2019. I can see from the statements that no payments were credited to the account for all of 2019. I know payments were made as they were part of my DMP with Payplan. At the time the account was with Fredrickson.  They have not provided any statements from 2020 to present and I am writing to them to request these. So I'm sure the balance they are pursuing is incorrect - can I dispute the debt amount based on this and render it unenforceable? I've trawled the forums and Google searched but can't find an answer, so apologies if it's been asked before. Any input most appreciated, thank you :-)

      Recording audio in health conversations

      Thank you for your comments everyone. I have spoken to Ico about recording my phone calls for my personal use and also mentioned it to a law firm they said i was ok as long as it was not shared and for my personal use. I would never share it. I can easy prove i need to record on disability grounds.. I normally make videos how i am to document my conditions and how i am affected. I have in the past obtained a phone call to doctors to reception by GDPR. Normally I have my partner with me now. The only way i found is to have a advocate with me. even with my partner with me a trainee gp seen a short video and said in front of my partner “are they voluntary or involuntary”

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Question-- When is a television not a television ? Answer-- When you don't have one..

 

Won't stop TVL demanding you buy a license for the non existent TV, or trying to get the non TV owner from confessing to not having a license during that "doorstep interview under caution" which the goon will use to ground a prosecution, even though they aren't guilty of any offence. TVL Capita goons are as bad as a rogue bailiff. It is high time they were stopped.

We could do with some help from you.

Been through it all. Got the T shirt. I used to ignore there demands. They never stopped but they still got nothing out of me. Since it went digital I get no more letters. Am curious about that..

Perhaps you have an analogue letter box and it won't accept the letters TVL send out "requesting" you furnish them with details of the householder? :D

 

On a more sensible level, it's a possibility that if you hadn't obtained a digibox of any description before the change through "official" channels (ie got one second hand) then you wouldn't be logged on the system as having any digital recieving kit. As such maybe they decided to stop bothering you. If you have since bought anything new, chances are your name/address will be passed to TVL.

Pity it is ALL repeats day and night and old 50/60/70/80s TV Crap.

 

That's because the crap produced in the 90's/00's is even worse and they would be totally ashamed to broadcast it! Trouble is when you produce a licence from the relevant period they don't seem to understand!

It always makes me giggle just how worked people get over £12 or so a month. There's far more to be proud of the beeb than there isn't.

 

I, for one, quite like being able to avoid advertising.

 

That said the TV licensing thing IS massively outdated and needs an overhaul.

While i understand what you're saying, i think it's grossly unfair that the people (like myself) that rarely, if ever watch the BBC are FORCED to buy a licence to view ALL tv programmes as they are broadcast.

I made this point to a friend the other day (and i think on this thread in an earlier post) that it's akin to doing your shopping in Sainsburys, Asda or Morrisons then Tesco turning up and demanding payment for the right to go shopping regardless of where you shop.

I also feel it's highly unfair to criminalise using a tv without a licence.

 

There is of course a very easy way round all this. Add the licence fee to the subscription packages provided by the likes of Sky, Virginmedia, Talk-talk etc and encrypt the BBCs broadcasts. In this way those that want to watch the BBCs products pay the subscription to the BBC, no more "criminals" are created and it releases a LOT of valuable court time to deal with things the courts should be dealing with such as paedophiles, rapists, murderers, drug dealers etc.

Naturally free to air and catch-up/on-demand internet services would not be effected by this so everyone's a winner. Except Crapita of course - all they get is the sack! Yay-ay-ay!!!

It certainly needs to change, that's for sure.

 

I'm happy to pay £12 a month just for 6music and not watch a TV show at all (although Sherlock is worth the fee alone IMO). I used to like the news but its gone down hill ever sicne the Hutton enquiry etc.

 

I wonder how else they could do it?

As I posted further back on the thread, the BBC could easily use digital encryption with the licence being the key.

Anyone watching live BBC programmes has to pay by default.

Obviously with that system in place customers would have the option of deciding whether the subscription was worth it.

I suspect quite a few would decide that £12 per month isn't.

Which is why digital encryption of BBC channels is not likely to make an appearance anytime soon.

I think you're right.

 

It's an interesting idea for sure. It could that the key is attached to a device which you travel with - thus allowing access to TV + radio anywhere you go.

 

But, as you say, I can't see it working out.

 

I guess at some point the beeb are likely to have to start considering advertising. And that would be awful.

I like watching some of that crap :lol:

 

 

LOL:-D Not all of it was crap. Mind you figital encryption ( figital because the BBC would play around with it as in figit with encryption keys, stress about someone cracking it like DVDCSS Jon, bork it and it would never work right ) and £2 per month as an add on to Sky, or BT Vision or whatever is about right, £12 is too dear for the TV content at least.

We could do with some help from you.

I have recently heard that there is no longer any legal requirement when being sold a television to request and send details to tv licensing. On the issue of the license fee what is it being used for ? and if all that is required for the fee to be paid is a signal that is capable of being received then is there any other obligation to produce quality programmes other than just keep on repeating the same old rubbish..

I have to agree £12.00 per month is far too much, especially when I can go for weeks without watching anything on the beeb. Its like having broadband and not using it.

My main issue with the TV licence is it's a criminal offence not to have one which I find absurd to the extreme.

 

I can understand licensing for broadcast equipment which could interfere with essential services communication, an issue as I recall with the old CB craze. Viewing a broadcast is a passive activity that harms no one.

No one did! I didn't realise that CB was only legal in the UK from 1981, so everyone was breaking the law before that.

There was controversy over the 'aunty mary' or AM frequency which supposedly interfered with a lot of other stuff, but as I recall I 'got out' much further on AM mind you running four watts into an 85 watt set of 'boots' probably helped a bit!

 

I wonder if anyone still goes on it?

 

"side slide with your handle and twenty!"

 

Edit

 

I remember getting my hands on an Astatic Eagle base rig mike, the creme de la creme of CB mikes, cost me a bomb at the time, but a more crystal clear microphone could not be had anywhere, and identified the world over by the distinctive metallic 'clunk' when yer keyed up, luverly!

I totally agree it is obsurd that it constitutes a criminal offence, they should reserve that for

Actual crimes that hurt people.

Well yes but, they get away with it. Which makes me sick. But what can ya do?

Answer the door with a box made to resemble a TV over your head, and ask the goon if he has a license to watch you, and remind him he is under caution.

We could do with some help from you.
