    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi guys just a quick question.

 

My partner has recently started work as a Christmas temp at toys r us.

 

Her hours are Saturday - 1pm till 7pm and Sunday - 11am till 5pm.

 

Our issue is that she has had to stay late every night an extra 30-60minutes to tidy the shop at store closing time

and also had to attend training instore outside of her agreed hours.

 

Now, she has just came home upset as she has found out that she may not get paid for the extra time she has put in outside of her normal agreed hours,

 

is it true that she may not get paid or are toys r us being a bit naughty?

 

she hasn't had her first pay date yet but I'm unhappy for her to come home nearly an hour later than she should

because she had to stay to clean the store after her shift had finished, if she's not getting paid for it!

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

By law, because she is on hourly pay, she must be paid for all time worked. If they dont pay then they leave themselves open to legal action for unlawful deduction of pay.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Okay I thought as much, thankyou for the fast reply. I'll keep track of the extra time she has put in and when her first wage slip is handed to her we'll see if their trying it on. Am I right I'm thinking time worked is measured in half hours? I.e if she does 7hours 45mins, she'll actually get paid 7hours 30mins?

All depends on the company and contract. Some pay in 15 min intervals, others in 30. Thats why you need to be sure of the contract and make sure you stick to it. When dealing with issues like this, you need to make sure you dont put a foot out of line, and make sure you let THEM slip up and make the mistakes.

Answers are not 100% correct above. It all depends on the contract and rate of pay. You should never (some exceptions) get paid less than national minimum wage rates. They are currently 21 and over £6.31,18 to 20 £5.03, Under 18 £3.72, Apprentice£2.68.

 

If, for example, she is over 21 and only on 6.31. She can do no overtime if it is unpaid (or work related training). However, her contract could allow her to do free overtime (or work related training) if she got paid over mimimum wage e.g. if I work 1 hour per week but get paid double national minimum wage 6.31 x 2 = 12.62, every week I can be required to do one hour free overtime if my contract says so, as 12.62 divided by two hours = 6.31 therefore I still meet national minimum wage even though I work 1 hour 'free' overtime.............I hope I explained that clearly enough

 

wage rates as of october 1st 2013 are used above

No matter what, she is on hourly pay and by uk law MUST be paid for all work done. There are no exceptions to this rule. If training is considered company time, then she must be paid for it. If it is considered personal time, then the employee has the right to decline.

We arent talking about min wage. We are talking about not being paid for the hours that have been worked. Op's case is very simple and straightforward. His other half isnt being paid for the work done and is being forced to work extra for no pay.

renegadeeimp - without further details I cant see how you can state that, but hey-ho. That is why I stated it depends on both contract and rate of pay unless I have not read something as I skimmed - also I would still like to see the evidence, not being funny or owt - I have added another link to post 8 about time work

 

also can I nick your signiture :-)

If the contract says reasonable overtime but doesn't state there is payment for it, *and* the hours don't take her under min wage, then she may not be paid.

 

You will find in retail "reasonable" stretches out a lot.

 

Also be aware that wih such little service if she complains they may just find a way to sack her, and you will have no comeback.

 

When she ASKED (not demanded quoting the law!) about getting paid for the extra, what reply did she get?

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!
