    • T911, Nick, thanks, I got there in the end! Without boring you with the details, it is precisely the most ridiculous cases that end up being lost - because the Cagger knows the other party's case is rubbish so doesn't do the necessary work on their own case. G24 are well aware of double dipping.  They have either done it deliberately or else have cameras which can't handle multiple visits to the car park which G24 happily leave malfunctioning so the £££££ keep rolling in. Sadly most people aren't like you.  I've just read various reviews for the Retail Park on TripAdvisor and Parkopedia.  Virtually all of them are complaining about these unfair charges for daring to spend time & money shopping in a shopping centre.  Yet no-one is refusing to pay.  They moan but think they have been fined and cough up. G24 are unlikely to do court, but it's not impossible with two tickets. Try to get evidence that you were elsewhere at these times. Often retail parks will intervene, but I've Googled & Googled and cannot find an e-mail address for the place.  Could the manager of one of your favourite shops give you a contact e-mail address for the company that run the retail park? Right at the moment I'm supposed to be teaching someone who runs two shops at the local shopping centre, but I'm not as he has had to go to a meeting with the company that runs the shopping centre, so I know for a fact that these business relationships exist!!!
    • Afternoon DX, The files were in date order. How would I put them into an acceptable format? I'm not that pc literate.  
    • I think you need to tell us what actually happened. Your original post gives the impression that you were taken to court for a speeding offence. But you go on to say that you received no paperwork. So you could not have been summonsed for a speeding offence because the police had no evidence that you (or anybody else) was driving (and it seems you were not anyway). You were probably summonsed (or more likely received a Single Justice Procedure Notice) for "failing to provide the driver's details." You would not normally be banned for this offence if you were convicted - it carries six points. So did you have any earlier points which meant you were liable to a "totting up" ban?  If you were originally convicted (as it seems you might have been) how was that conviction set aside? Did you perform a Statutory Declaration? There is simply too much missing for any meaningful help to be given. It seems as if there may have been an error by the DVLA but before you consider suing those idiots until the cows come home, you need to explain exactly what has happened.

    • 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.

Highly unlikely that they will be interested in what the DLA report said. However, should you fail the ESA assessment, the DWP will and do use the ESA report to review your DLA entitlement

 

Simply put, no you can't use evidence for one benefit with another, but the DWP can if it means a possibility of being able to reduce the amount they pay you.

 

Doomed I tell you we're all DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

 

The other view is that it is very unfortunate if that happens and that it hardly happens!

 

The quoted statement is very iffy as it suggests/implies that you claims will immediately be reviewed. Oh no they will not! It MAY be used at re-application/review in line with when they are normally triggered. Remember it's all just evidence. You win the game by having stronger more compelling evidence than the other guy. Simple really.

 

Applied for ESA and DLA at same time. Failed WCA with 0 points 4 weeks later was awarded LRM & MRC DLA based on claim form alone. Round 2 ESA failed ESA WCA 0 points, DLA review 5 months later award lowered to LRM & LRC reconsideration sent and it's back to LRM & MRC in under 8 weeks.

 

So which version of reality do you wish to believe?

The simple answer, to my mind, is yes. Of course. It is evidence of your disability or illnesses. I certainly intend to include details of my DLA award in the bumpf of evidence I'll be submitting to the DWP for ESA. It is true that the criteria of the benefits are different but all evidence that supports or highlights your illness and disability in any way helps form an overall picture for the DWP Decision Maker.

Any other evidence you can think of also has some merit. I have copies of a letter written by a consultant at Charing Cross Hospital. What I was seeing him for has absolutely nothing to do with my illness or ESA. However, he did note and comment on my physical state when writing to my GP. These side comments help to support my assertation of physical debilitation so it goes in the mix!

 

Being in receipt of DLA, HRM due to arterial disease/spinal/hips and MRC due to intense psychiatric illness, made absolutely no difference to my last ESA decision - 0 points - ATOS confirmed that there was a history of mental illness but it wasn't a relevant mental illness, plus, I had the ability to walk 200 metres with no problem.

 

I acted quickly and supplied evidence that disproved the statements made by the ATOS assessor as regards the descriptors only.

 

Once I proved what the assessor had said were not true I was uplifted into the Support Group for 3 years.

When I applied for an uplift last year of my DLA award, they considered the ESA report as well as the evidence I submitted.

If I had not bothered to appeal against the ESA decision or had lost the appeal, it would have had serious ramifications to my DLA review application!

Of course it is hit and miss if it does happen. But I have been around enough to hear of cases where the DLA award has been triggered for an early review because of the result of an ESA assessment.

 

I can fully understand and accept that it is done. If you are in receipt of DLA HRM because you have said, and it was proven, that 12 months earlier you had great difficulty in walking 10 metres never mind 25 metres, then the ESA assessment throws up that you have no difficulty in walking, of course it will start to ring alarm bells!!

Pinocchio's recommendation for your next reassessment will be on the ESA85A which is available on request from your local benefit delivery centre. It's a recommendation, it's not set in stone.

 

:estellyn: thinks there should be an ESA85S personalised summary statement as well. (Although I haven't seen one with an ESA85A it's worth asking cos she could well be right.)

 

Sincerely, Margaret.

A bloody long time! Sent off ESA50 at the start of August and my letter is dated November 27th.

That;s really really good news,,shame they took so flipping long to tell you.

 

What do you mean a long time? I consider that to have been very much fast-tracked! :D

 

I am so happy for you m'dear. Seriously good news that has made my weekend. :cheer2:

Just finished completing the latest ESA50, Nystagmite. I think one benefit (if that's the right word!) of having wallowed on the assessment rate for so long is that I now have sufficient historical data to show my condition as it is now and the deterioration over the last four years. I've seen anecdotal reports that people at the same level as me are in the Support group so there is a little hope. That said, I'm still half expecting null points. From an NHS point of view, this has got to be one of the cheapest diseases available (it is the Tesco Value of illnesses) as there is very little treatment and no cure. So no consultants necessary, oxygen therapy doesn't work and surgery is not practical until you're knocking on death's door. But that does leave you floundering for evidence! So, fingers crossed ... :madgrin:
