    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • Yeah, sorry, that's what I meant .... I said DCBL because I was reading a few threads about them discontinuing claims and getting spanked in court! Meant  YOU  Highview !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • Yep, I read that and thought about trying to find out what the consideration and grace period is at Riverside but not sure I can. I know they say "You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is"  but I doubt they would disclose it to the public, maybe I should have asked in my CPR 31.14 letter? Yes, I think I can get rid of 5 minutes. I am also going to include a point about BPA CoP: 13.2 The reference to a consideration period in 13.1 shall not apply where a parking event takes place. I think that is Deception .... They giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other! One other point to note, the more I read, the more I study, the more proficient I feel I am becoming in this area. Make no mistake DBCL if you are reading this, when I win in court, if I have the grounds to make any claims against you, such as breach of GDPR, I shall be doing so.

    • 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

 

Just trying to get some info for a family member, if anyone might be able to help.

 

My uncle has been on Incapacity benefit for a couple of years due to an accident caused at work. He has been assessed for ESA and has been placed into the support group.

 

He has been in receipt of Industrial injuries benefit during this time.

 

Well, a couple of weeks after being placed into the support group, he was sent an application form to apply for Severe disability premium.

 

He is confused by this as he is currently in receipt of the following.

 

DLA Care - Middle Rate

DLA Mobility - Higher Rate

ESA - Support Group Rate - Contributions based

Industrial Injuries Benefit - Around £49 per week

 

Is it worth him applying for the Severe disability premium as he assumes he wouldn't be entitled due to the other benefits he is currently receiving.

 

He is now living on his own, and his mother helps him out, but no one received carers allowance for him.

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks.

it is worth applying for - it can be worth up to about £61 for most ppl - although IIB will reduce this - so might only be about £12

Thanks for your reply.

 

Is either IIB or SDP a means tested benefit then, and if so which one cancels the other out, would you know?

 

The reason I ask is as he is on contributions based ESA, I assumed that if granted one of the benefits would be reduced, but I thought that may only happen if he received Income based ESA, not CB, if that makes any sense?

 

Also would you know which benefit has triggered the SDP? The only thing that has changed is he has gone from IB to CB ESA, so as far as I can see there is no means tested benefit to trigger the SDP.

 

I was thinking that if there had always been an underlying entitlement, I could try and get some of it backdated to when he was entitled, as he has been receiving DLA Middle Rate care for some time now and if that is the trigger then it hasn't triggered it until now rather than when he was placed into that band?

DLAc (higher or middle rate) is the trigger for SDP

 

you can only get SDP with a means tested benefit - it increases the level of income-related ESA

 

if the higher level of ESAir is greater than ESAc and IIB together - he will get his ESAc topped up with ESAir

Oh one more thing, as he is on CB ESA, I assume when calculating his benefits, they must have added an IR ESA top up then (he may have been advised to apply for ESA IR also, but I can't remember, there was a form they sent him which he sent back) and this must be the trigger that prompted the application for SDP? So I assume around 99% of his ESA benefit must be CB, with a very slight addition of IR ESA to top it up, does that sound about right?

it is possible in some instances - but hard to tell without knowing rates of benefits in payment

 

best thing to do is contact the DWP and ask if he would be eligible for Enhanced Disability Premium and Severe Disability Premium

 

If they say yes, all good and well

 

If they say no, then ask for an explanation, so that others here can check it for you

Some information from his letter below, would you know if any of these benefits he gets are income based or means tested?

 

Your living expenses - £72.40

 

Extra money because of the disability income guarantee - £87.95

 

Extra money because you are in the support group - £35.75

 

Which gives a total income-related amount of £123.70

 

Income and Benefits.

 

DLA care comp for you is not counted as income towards ESA

 

Ind Inj Dis Ben for you - £49.80

 

Your total income £49.80

 

Your income related amount is £123.70, less £49.80 so you would have been entitled to £73.90

 

However, because you are entitled to CB ESA we will pay you £115.10

 

Top up payment £6.95 (this is the guarantee to prevent you from being worse off when migrated to ESA)

 

The amounts on this page apply from 9th August 2014

 

The actual amount of ESA he receives each fortnight is £230.20

based upon information you have supplied and assuming: -

  • no other income
  • capital is less than £6000.00

 

he is currently receiving ESA© of £115.10

 

if he applies for SDP, he would get ESA (mixture of c & ir) of £135.00

 

so an additional £19.90 per week
