    • I have contacted the sofa shop who are sending someone out tomorrow to inspect the furniture. I suspect if anything a replacement will be offered although I would prefer a refund. Few photos of the wear in the material, this is how it was delivered.  
    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf

    • 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.

How does this mud impact on you?

 

Why do you think he puts mud over his own car to wind you up?

because he has 2 cars , one he uses daily and the jeep which he never uses except to cover in mud and leave outside my house , the bloke has done this to a neighbour before where he used to live as my wife knows them, its apparantly his way of showing dislike , its like harrasment of a sort

Well, theres certainly nothing illegal going on. If the mud was something else and smelt badly, or it was put on your property, then yes, there would be an issue. But right now, theres nothing. What you could do if you know he was going to move the jeep and get it covered in mud again, is to park your own car in its place, or get another neighbour to park there.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

we have tried that but as soon as we move in the morning he puts the jeep back there , its worse after we have washed our car as that is when he gets it more muddy and as he parks so close the mud drips onto our car which again is his way of laughing at us

I personally think that the more you rise to it the more he will do it.

 

If he thought it was not winding you up, he would stop as he would be wasting his time

Reverse psychology.

Tell him that you are a big fan of jeep and off road driving and you would love to have a jeep like his but can't afford it at the moment.

So you're glad that he parks it outside your house and people think it's yours.

The muddier the better!

He'll probably move it the very same day, then you can tell him how disappointed you are.

This needs good acting skills.

Make sure he sees you and your family taking pictures with the range rover of course with thumbs up.

That will wind him up and he will hide the Chelsea tractor away 😉

Also you can post selfies on facebook referring to the jeep as "your baby"...

Hi spidey41

 

First no matter how tempting a crowbar sounds please DO NOT (bear in mind this is probably what the individual wants you to do is react so they can claim victim).

 

This is a difficult situation to be in as from what you have posted for whatever reason this neighbour seems to have an issue.

 

Now as well as the vehicle being covered in mud is the road as well and is it a public road?

 

Does your drop kerb on the actual road have a White Line painted going along the drop kerb access? (If not ask the council roads dept if and how to apply for this)

 

Is the individual a private home owner or Council/Housing Association?

 

Importantly you need to keep a written record of all the incidents no matter how small

I totally agree with the above post.

 

Does he wash this pile of junk off in the street ???

Do the street drains get blocked ??

 

Keep a log of events and complain daily to the Council about the pavement parking.

How are disabled people supposed to get past it or a mother with a double buggy ??

he does leave mud on the street yes and no i do not have a white line as when the kerb was done the council told me it served no perpose except to inform people there was a drive there , it is a public road and yes myself and this idiot both own our own homes ,

Hi.

 

I'm surprised the council said that about a white line, because all our neighbours who have dropped kerbs have white lines. If you wanted to ask more about that, you could start a separate thread in the local authorities parking forum, some of the guys understand council regs.

somebody told me that it did not matter having a white line as if there is no car on the drive people can park across it regardless they only cant block you in but can block you out , yes another person from dvla told me it was illegal to block access to a property as well so dont really know where i stand on this

The more you register this as a problem, the more difficult it would be to sell your house, as it may come up as a reported problem in searches.

 

Not sure how I would deal with this. I think I might just try to have a calm word with this chap, asking whether he has any issue with you as a neighbour given the continued parking of the Jeep in a muddy condition outside of your driveway.

 

I suspect he has mental health issues given that this has happened previously and he may just not like having neighbours. I say this, given the night time activity of putting mud on the Jeep.

 

Given the threatening behaviour mentioned in your last post, you could report this to the Police. Even if they could not do much, you could request it is logged, as it may get them to take action the next time something happens.

We could do with some help from you.

No sane person does what you are saying he does, unless he thinks you have done something wrong and it is personal.

 

If I were in this position with threatening behaviour, if the Police were not interested beyond logging an issue, I think I would install a discreet CCTV camera to record events and to keep my own log. You can then ask the Police to consider action for harassment.

We could do with some help from you.

Channel 5's Neighbour's from hell shows that perfectly sane people do the most bizarre and petty things, over sleights, both real and percieved. It's why the OP should go to the Police and request a Harassment Order be applied for - a huge amount of Harassment in these situations is low level stuff that is not even a crime, and the standards and proof required for the orders seems to be very low, because they aren;t a criminal conviction, but "advice" but breaching the advice could lead to prosecution.

 

They have shown harassment orders given where the nature of the harassment is stuff like the electrician who would test his vehicles lights before heading off to work every morning at 5am, it just so happens that the way he would park his van meant the lights would light up his opposite neighbours windows, across the street.

I had some success with section 86 orf the Traffic Management Act 2004 :

 

Traffic Management Act 2004 Part 6 Sec. 86

 

 

 

86Prohibition of parking at dropped footways etc..

 

 

 

(1)In a special enforcement area a vehicle must not be parked on the carriageway adjacent to a footway, cycle track or verge where—.

(a)the footway, cycle track or verge has been lowered to meet the level of the carriageway for the purpose of—.

(i)assisting pedestrians crossing the carriageway,.

(ii)assisting cyclists entering or leaving the carriageway, or.

(iii)assisting vehicles entering or leaving the carriageway across the footway, cycle track or verge; or.

(b)the carriageway has, for a purpose within paragraph (a)(i) to (iii), been raised to meet the level of the footway, cycle track or verge..

This is subject to the following exceptions.

(2)The first exception is where the vehicle is parked wholly within a designated parking place or any other part of the carriageway where parking is specifically authorised..

A “designated parking place” means a parking place designated by order under section 6, 9, 32(1)(b) or 45 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27).

(3)The second exception is where the vehicle is parked outside residential premises by or with the consent (but not consent given for reward) of the occupier of the premises..

This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway.

 

My neighbour parked over our shared driveway so we couldn't leave, or parked in the driveway -blocking it altogether, and allowed his visitors

to park in the driveway etc.

 

Point out that this 3 penalty points and (then) a £60 fine soon stopped the problem, especially when making it obvious that we were

photographing the transgressors, and threatening to email the photo's to the police.

 

IF the police refuse to act, then you might want to look at the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (c. 2)

section 26 - police can now be jailed for 14 years for being naughty re doing their duty ie failing to do it,

or threatening to .....

 

See which part of the Act suits you best.
