    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.

    • 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.

a few pointers on what can and cannot be done with pcns.

 

if the parking attendent has started to write the ticket out you can drive off. the ticket is not valid as long as it has not been handed to you or been stuck to the vehicle.

it is also illegal for parking attendants to stand in the front of your vehicle when you are driving off !!!

 

you have 15mins grace from the time stated on your pcn before you get clamped.

also you cannot get a pcn within 12 hours of the original ticket unless your vehicle has moved from the spot.

there are others but they will not let me write these down. i have been through parking tickets bailiffs/courts etc and know my way around like the back of my hand. anyway click the scale if you think what i have told you is worth it !!

However, parking attendants can (and do) just bin the driver's copy in the nearest receptacle, and then when the paperwork arrives through the post, it is your workd against theirs that the ticket was never applied to the vehicle.

Absolutely - so if you expect them to bin it, there's little point in making a getaway, unless you've video evidence (or an independent witness) to back you up - which usually means partners and spouses are ineligible....

Forgive me but shouldn't we all just be law abiding citizens and park within the remits of the law? That's the ONLY real way to avoid getting a parking ticket !

The parking attendants now take a photo of your car with the ticket attached to the wind shield, to prove it was lawfully served.

 

Once they start writing the ticket, that's the end of it. You have to prove your innocence.

 

I am with Tigerlilly on this one, pay your parking fee, check where you park and you remain clean.

 

I have never had a parking ticket or a traffic infringement in 47 years of driving in five countries.

Tiger, ive been parked in a box with a paid parking ticket in my windscreen, showing the time and date, that corresponded with the time and date of the so called offence. I knew id done nothing wrong, even checked I was parked correctly because I was becoming paranoid about getting tickets as they arrived accusing me of illegally parking, when I had no recollection or ticket. Still the process whereby you dispute that fact is a farce, and in the end its youre word against the wardens. The reponse from the authorities is:

 

I have read youre account of the incident carefully. Unfortunately, it conflicts with the parking attendents account. The Council and its agents employ only trained and accredited attendents to act as expert witnesses.In the absence of clear evidence to the contrary, I must presume that the parking attendents account of the circumstances is accurate.

 

Therefore Tiggy, you need to carry a camera at all times and when it happens to you, you know youre being conned and the only assumption I could make was that the attendents were on commission or bonuses, dependent on how many people they could stitch up in a day.

 

On another occassion, I actually had a policeman who just so happened to be passing. Assure me I was not illegally parked or on a yellow line. He gave his number and station telephone number to act as witness. An owner in the shop I had just left, saw the same, and wrote a letter witnessing the event too. Do you think that stopped the council from continuing with their action? No

Whether it's illegal or not I guess they'd be b****y stupid to stand in front of a car they were just ticketing!!!!!!

Its if you do not know what they are and arnt allowed to you would not move your car as it was against the law which it is not !!!

theyre not even allowed to stand on the road while writing a ticket out. the most they can do is stand on the kerb . I know this because i had a run in with tickets. hEnce know where to stand my ground.

I don't think we should be looking for ways of not paying parking tickets when we have parked in the wrong place how scally is that. don't brake the law and you won't get fined, simple as that who needs all the hassel. I admit there are the odd few TWs who will put a ticket on anything thats stood still long enough but most tickets are for parking offences.

Fortunately, I think the overiding sentiment on here is quite moral, if you get caught, then take the punishment - however if there is skulduggery involved with a less than scrupulous TW, I see no reason why they should not be held accountable for their actions.

I agree that if you break the law, you should pay the fine.

 

However, the law cuts both ways. The authorities have to abide by the law in how they create, sign, mark amd enforce parking restrictions. If they cannot work to the letter of the law, then any resulting ticket is void and not payable.

I have had 4 tickets recently for parking outsidemy house, which i have done for the last five years and now suddenly we have these community support officers who think they run the village!! ( there are no markings near my house, its a clear road) They have even been stopping people and searching them which only a police officer can do apparently. Any way i have now discovered that the tickeys are invalid and i would like to claim the money back does anyone have any idea where i start. I am thinking of writing to the magistrates court and appealing but not sure what the correct way is. can anyone help

As you have paid you have admitted liability. You can only write in to the magistrates and see what they say.

How are the tickets 'invalid'? If you mean they've been issued without lawful authority - then wrtie to the issuer stating this and that they have 14 days to repay thew incorrect fines. Failure to do so will result in you issuing a Small Claims Action for the recovery of your funds.

The tickets have several errors.

on one the ticket was not signed and also the location is just main street, which happens to be over a mile long, i have learnt that the ticket must be precise as to where the alledged offence took place. on another the date is for next year, talk about getting your quota in!!.

I am thinking of going to the courts and asking them how i can get my money back, i dont think that just cos i paid i accept liability, if i can fight what i consider to be unjust i will. surely if the ticket issued was invalid then any subsequent action becomes unlawful.
