    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.  
    • @Whyisitthisthank you very much for asking. I am still feeling anxious, especially when someone rings the doorbell, or when I receive a letter I feel a it paranoid. I stopped going to the shops unless I really have to. I shop online now. When I see security I feel paralised. 
    • My expectation was their WS would include the best paperwork, like at least true copies of originals, but these just look wrong somehow, perhaps the font and size of font... Not sending me the DN in CCA request but producing it for evidence I would argue could be a tactic used by them... - Page 11 with ticks - there is no reference to IP addresses - Home addresses are correct for dates in documents   Just looking up example Defendant WS's while awaiting your thoughts on this
    • Hello lovely, just posting to check in to see how you are feeling now? Hopefully your feeling better?

    • 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.

Probably. But depending on partners income you might not need to.

 

Now. There is nothing you can do till Monday now. So take my advice and try not to think about it until Monday. You won't change anything by worrying a weekend but the weekend will drag.

Please do not ask me for advice via PM as I will not reply.

I have to be honest with you. I see a fair few cases adjourned as legal aid havn't got their act together- so it's not just you. It could happen.

 

Think of your blood pressure and baby and enjoy the weekend xx

Well if it's any help I know a few people that have had scans that say the baby is too small. Baby was a normal size when it was born.

 

Yes. When my ex-wife was pregnant with our first daughter, the scans tended to show she was a bit on the small side. She was just a touch short of 7lbs when born, which is small-ish but still a healthy enough weight. She turned 16 in January and has been healthy all of her life aside from the usual minor childhood ailments.

 

As to an adjournment of the court case, although I can understand why you want it over with, if for any reason the Legal Aid is not sorted by the date of the hearing, it would be in your best interests to seek such an adjournment until you can have a lawyer with you. I'd say this is particularly important if you intend to plead guilty to any charge, as you'll want the Magistrate to fully consider your circumstances and mitigation, and that's what a lawyer can help you with.

I had to have ridiculous amount of scans including specialist ones measuring blood through the umbilical cord and in the end they said ds1 was growing regularly but would be small for dates. He was born weighing 8lbs 4oz. Admittedly he was 16 days late but even had he be born on time, he wouldn't have been small! On the contrary they were happy with dd and were shocked when she was born weighing 5lb 9oz. But she was fine too. So try not to worry.

I would contact the court and explain the situation ASAP. Tell them that you are have contacted a solicitor to help you but have been unable to confirm his availability for the hearing tomorrow. Then ask what, if any, procedure would be available to continue the hearing to later date to allow you to sort this out.

Hi Just a quick update.

 

I went to court at 9.30am yesterday, my legal aid came through at the last minute, I had to wait such a long time and when I finally went in my solicitor asked for a probation report because I had pleaded guilty. Then I waited until 2pm to see the probation people. I must say the lady was lovely and she understood my circumstances and that my claim was not fraudulent from the beginning so she said that she would recommend that they sentence be a conditional discharge but if the magistrates don't agree with that then she would want to ask for a curfew. This is because I don't go out anywhere and that I have 3 young children and a baby on the way. but it would mean wearing a tag :sad:. she said she wouldn't recommend a fine because she feels that I am already paying a lot (£50.00 per week) back to dwp. Anyway court was adjourned until 28th April and hopefully by then I will know my fate.

 

Thank you for all your replies.

hi honeybee

thank you so much. its not completely over yet but im getting there.

 

Hi There,

 

If the probation lady made such good recommendations that will help. I got my head teacher to write a letter say what a custodial sentence would do to me.

 

Good Luck Hun

 

Don't be afraid.
