    • 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.

She is clearly "out of her depth". ........ Knows the "chickens are coming home to roost" !!!

 

At the moment S.I.L wants your partner "Out of the frame". .... WHY ??????

We have an appointment at the CAB on the 3rd Nov to see their solicitor just for general advice.

 

The S.I.L I am afraid does not have a leg to stand on.

 

Because she has failed to over 2 years to keep my partner informed of any changes in his health, and his financial status this will go against her as a claim for her abusing her position as an attorney.

 

My partner is just basically refusing to sign the papers.

 

She can still register the EPA and carry on as before; there is no need for any of this and she knows it!!

 

The fact is she wont speak to my partner and she wont phone him either.

 

The solicitor is going to warn her on her conduct to date and especially the daughter sending me a message through Facebook demanding the forms to be signed is not acceptable.

 

At the end of the day the daughter is not on the paperwork so cannot get involved.

 

My partner will tell the solicitor that the sister wanting him off the paperwork because she claims he has had no contact with his father is a very poor excuse.

 

We are still waiting for the S.I.L to reply to reasons why she wants him off the paperwork amongst others.

 

I cant wait to see the solicitor though!!

Just a thought - Some unions offer free legal services - Is your partner a union member ?

 

Could be an option if the CAB solicitor turns out to be a wet blanket.

No he isn't but we are going to phone his legal expenses inrruance to see if they can take a claim on if need be, but in hindsight why should we get a solicitor when its the S.I.L who is causing the issue?

Short answer; You don't need to get your own solicitor on board.

 

However, it doesn't hurt to have expert legal advice behind you should things take a turn for the worse. If you can get this advice without having to pay exorbitant fees, so much the better.

I hate to say it, but I do hope it is the SIL paying for this solicitor and not your FIL. :-/

Thanks for the above replies.

 

We are fully aware that the S.I.L could have easily registered the EPA with the Office of Public Guardian herself and saved on solicitors fees.

 

As far as we are concerned it is the S.I.L who instructed the solicitor not the father as he is not mentally capable of doing anything and doesn't even know what day of the week it is.

 

The daughter said in her nasty facebook message to me that the S.I.L is "scrimping and saving" yet on her Facebook page they are going off to Vegas for the S.I.L's 50th birthday!!

 

So we will ask the solicitor is the S.I.L paying the fees!!

An attorney can only claim for reasonable expences i.e. postage. Solicitors fees to get rid of an attorney who hasn't acted inappropriately would not be considered reasonable. There is a charge for registering the EPA but the donor pays not the attorney.

 

As to the FIL financial affairs, SIL is obliged to keep a list of all bank accounts, savings accounts, assets and an account of her dealing with each. If she hasn't done this or refuses to hand them over, than you could report this to the OPG.

Thanks for that.

 

We will be going to the OPG if the S.I.L does not comply with the questions we want answering.

 

We feel that as an attorney she has abused her position in the fact that she has not kept my partner informed of any health or financial decision in over 2 years especially.

 

We are fully aware that the S.I.L had carers going in for the father but never at any time did she consult my partner on any matter.

 

He wont be signing the forms anyway.

 

We still have had no response from her to date but we understand that she might be swanning off on holiday to Vegas yet her daughter claims she has no money!!

Did you find out about the FIL's Will ???

We need to wait and hear back from the solicitor as to what the S.I.L says.

 

We will be asking for a copy of the will because we are concerned that because the S.I.L has made the father solely depended on her, that we believe she has cooerced the father into writing my partner out of the will.

 

My partner will be contesting the will should anything happen to the father in the meantime.

I have some sad news.

 

My father in law passed away peaceful on sunday.

 

To date, my S.I.L has failed to contact my partner with regards to the funeral arrangements.

 

She is just avoiding contact in general as is the rest of his family!!

 

None of them have honed my partner to see how he is coping!! Families eh who needs them!!

 

As soon as he died, she was straight on the phone to the solicitor wanting to arrange about opening up the will.

 

To date, she has failed to contact the funeral parlour about arranging his funeral either!!

 

To be honest we are appalled at her behaviour!!

Hello there.

 

I'm very sorry to hear about your FiL, my condoleances to your and your OH. It's very sad that people decide to behave this way at what is already a difficult time. I hope you manage to attend the funeral.

 

HB

 

Thank you.

 

I've just been informed that she has finally made an appointment today to see the funeral people.

 

Hopefully we will know when we can go and see him.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

 

In fairness to the S.i.L. it would be reasonable to have a look at the will to ensure any funeral arrangements were made in accordance with the deceased's wishes - But as the attorney, one would presume she was already aware of these wishes. Also, a day or two to contact an undertaker is quite understandable especially if there is any outstanding questions from the will.

I've just spoken to the funeral directors and they said a possible date would be on Friday 7th November, but I will need formal confirmation which will be tomorrow as they cant get hold of the church.

 

Dont know to go or not because with the sister in law she might cause a scene or we will be made to feel unwelcome by staring!!

He has as much right as anyone to be there, even if only to the service if he wants to avoid confrontation. The funeral is not about your SIL, and I suspect that she may try to use his absence at the funeral against him in the future. Please pass on my condolences to your OH.

Sorry about your loss.

 

You have every right to go to the funeral, don't be bullied on this regard. If anyone treats you badly at the funeral it will be them who will look bad.

 

Thank you.

 

His newphew foned yesterday regarding attending the chapel of rest and to discuss the arrangements.

 

I nearly fell off my chair!!

 

I understand that the funeral is next friday, so the will should be opened and read shortly after.

 

We have applied for the mother's will and probate to see what provision she made regarding my husband and his sister; we will use her will if there is anything in there against his fathers.

 

We also believe that the S.I.L cooerced the father in writing the son (my husband) out of the will so she is sole beneficiary.

 

This could be why she made their father solely depend on her for everything.

 

Will keep you posted.

Sounds likely doesn't it. I'd still be pressing for the accounts since 2004.
