    • 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 !!!  🖕
    • Though it would be Highview you would  pursue. DCBL are nonentities-on their best day,
    • 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.

    • the Town and Country [advertisments ] Regulations 2007 are not easy to understand. Most Council planing officials don't so it's good that you found one who knows. Although he may not have been right if the rogues have not been "controlling" in the car park for that long. The time only starts when the ANPR signs go up, not how long the area has been used as a car park.   Sadly I have checked Highview out and they have been there since at least 2014 . I have looked at the BPA Code of Practice version 8 which covers 2023 and that states Re Consideration and Grace Periods 13.3 Where a parking location is one where a limited period of parking is permitted, or where drivers contract to park for a defined period and pay for that service in advance (Pay & Display), this would be considered as a parking event and a Grace Period of at least 10 minutes must be added to the end of a parking event before you issue a PCN. It then goes on to explain a bit more further down 13.5 You must tell us the specific consideration/grace period at a site if our compliance team or our agents ask what it is. 13.6 Neither a consideration period or a grace period are periods of free parking and there is no requirement for you to offer an additional allowance on top of a consideration or grace period. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________So you have  now only overstayed 5 minutes maximum since BPA quote a minimum of 10 minutes. And it may be that the Riverside does have a longer period perhaps because of the size of the car park? So it becomes even more incumbent on you to remember where the extra 5 minutes could be.  Were you travelling as a family with children or a disabled person where getting them in and out of the car would take longer. Was there difficulty finding a space, or having to queue to get out of the car park . Or anything else that could account for another 5 minutes  without having to claim the difference between the ANPR times and the actual times.

    • 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.

After 2.5 years on benefits (ESA, JSA and HB) on October 1st I start my full time job in the field I am trained in (found out today!) 36 hours per week, proper salary, sick pay, annual leave (25 days pa) and pension. I have worked hard for this and it has paid off. I am awaiting my contract and details and ironically I sign on tomorrow but not saying anything until formalised. As for INGEUS, they are not getting ANY DETAILS at all - this was 100% MY HARD WORK and they are getting NO CREDIT.

 

Need to find about if I can get any help with council tax still as well as WTC but just glad to be away from the hassle I have had the last 2.5 years, I have seen both sides now as a full time employee and someone who has relied on benefits.

 

I still hope to contribute to this board

 

I won't be replying tonight as I am mentally exhausted from my interview ( I found out an hour after I had the job) so off for a shower and then for a kip!

No wait !!!!! what about pay, working conditions,unpaid breaks, the crippled transport system,the struggle has only begun lol, no seriously though congratulations on securing a job there is light at the end of the tunnel, if it were me I would make sure I had one last appointment with Ingeus and be a complete pain in the rear, vocalising my views with a very loud public address system.

I did that with A4e when I had the misfortune to have to deal with them. Had been in employment during the few days leading up to that appointment. Must admit, I did derive some pleasure from pushing all the wrong buttons with the "adviser" and got to see her true colours when she finally threw a hissy fit :madgrin: Dragged the meeting out well beyond the allotted time and set her up for the rest of the day (it was her 9AM wake up call). For my efforts, I was awarded not one, but two puerile sanctions.

 

Congratulations essexmatt, and don't forget: When you sign off, just tell them "personal reasons" when asked why.

I would have loved to been in the office that day MR.P, I can imagine they thought there had been a glitch in the matrix.

 

Just for future reference, am I right in saying that if I am signed off JSA, any sanction Ingeus might try to impose upon me under the belief I was still claiming JSA cannot be enforced ?

Ingeus can only raise a benefit doubt, and it is up to the DWP to impose the sanction. But if you are not claiming a qualifying benefit (i.e. JSA or UC), there is nothing to sanction. However, the DWP will keep it on file and if you reclaim (it used to be within three months, but it may have changes) the sanction may be enforced.

 

Side note: I recorded the entire 90 minutes, including the sounds of the toys coming out of her pram. Due to data protection and my confidentiality, I will not be making the recording public.

Thanks all. I am at INGEUS tomorrow (well today now) and won't be letting on anything until I get my actual start date and contract. I am looking forward to just signing off though .... cannot wait!

You should be able to get a few weeks run-on with rent too. Apply for everything in sight; they can only say no!

 

Congrats on getting a job, Matt you've worked hard for it and - like the rest of us - put up with a lot of crap from people who are supposed to 'help'. You totally deserve it. Being the nice guy you are, you're obviously going to want to buy us all a pack of beer from your first months wages, so let us know the delivery times. I'm quite fond of Carlsberg, thank you.:)

Thanks again all. Quick few questions

 

Due to sign again 1st Oct but that is first day in new job so presumably I cancel claim on phone day before and get paid 13 days instead of 14? Do I tell adviser today when I sign I am not in for signing 1st Oct?

 

Also had my INGEUS letter for 24th Sept saying "meet new adviser and help you find work" shame that will be the ONLY time I see him and I will LOVE telling him that.

 

I got this job ofd my own back and don't want INGEUS to know so just sign off go on 24th then not bother with mandated letter for next appt as claim closed?

 

Thanks
