    • The reason for the photos is to show you weren't displaying a permit.  They are supposed to check that the permit hadn't fallen off the dashboard. There is no point in appealing to PPM.  The very people who deliberately set up the site with rubbish signage to catch motorists out are highly unlikely to find against themselves. You've said several times that you think the company who you met with called PPM in so these are the people you need to contact in writing to request they call PPM off.  Until you do so we're going round in circles. If you don't want them to have your e-mail address simply set up a secondary e-address.

    • The outlet is in Camden Town and was set up in 2006, a year after my husband established the business, in addition to selling at exhibitions, online, shows, events, and having licensing agreements in some places overseas.  The only thing I have stopped doing since I got ill is the physical stuff, which I’m working on. The business has not changed name or anything like that either. I’m not sure where the original contract with Camden is but the management must still have it. My husband died in Jan 2017, and until Sept 2018, I would take the stock in every week; after that I was sending it in by post. I went in now and then when possible to re-do the display but that was about it. No one had access to any files until 2020. Moved house in 2020 thought would have to pull it all, Covid had just hit as well. The person in question said he would be interested in taking over and paying the rent etc. so I said I would let him sell the pictures for nothing as long as he would ‘keep it warm’ for me.  Obviously, everywhere was closed for lockdown. During this time I was working out how to go forward.  In May 2022 I told him I couldn’t  give anything away for free anymore, and put in place the wholesale agreement.  I’ve disregarded any discrepancies from before this date. I sent over the jpgs electronically, so I’ve still got them too. He hasn’t got any original files like .psds negatives or memory cards etc, I’ve got proof of all ownership/copyright. A co-op is whereby a small number of neighbours work on a rotational basis so they each of them can have time off, that way everyone doesn’t need to be there at the same time, he had never been an employee of mine.  The only reason I allowed him to have the files in the first place as I didn’t want to lose that side of the business.  It’s a good, constant source of income. However, the rent was becoming crippling as I believed there was something fishy going on well before this as there’s so much cash dealt with there, and I couldn’t go in regularly in person, and I’m sure sales weren’t being recorded properly and cash was being pocketed. My husband was too busy to be doing any stock control properly, he wasn't really into paperwork, and the guy who was ‘helping’ me after my husband's death, was making things very difficult for me to implement a solid stock control system by refusing to co-operate on simple things like using email etc. which I thought was a smokescreen, so I severed ties with him just before I made the agreement in question. I sent about 100 images, jpg files, sent via We Transfer. I’ve got the confirmation of which files were sent with dates. I will have to go through closed bank accounts and previous tax returns to get a proper estimate.   Before I made this agreement, I was selling retail there, this is a wholesale agreement so I’ll have to do some calculations but it is definitely in the thousands.  I haven’t got his his home address, and I don't think he's got any sizeable assets. I’m also worried that he might send the files overseas and start selling them there. I know he’s not stupid enough to sell them online. He knows for sure how serious this is, but he’s been chancing it and thinks I’m stupid, if not soft and stupid. I don’t know if this would work but I am thinking that when he does contact me, I tell him we need to talk, tell him I know what he’s been up to, and strongly urge him not to order any more prints from wherever he is having them printed because it will make things much worse for him if he does. Then when I do tell him about the gravity of the situation, maybe a few days later, I think it will scare him into complying because the consequences definitely trump the few quid he thinks he is saving by getting his own printing done. Tell him an amount that I want back for lost revenue, and make it clear that if he doesn’t destroy the files and if I find out he is still doing it at any point down the line, I will seek prosecution for copyright infringement and fraud, which I will. I don’t know how I can enforce any of this without involving the courts though. I will be able to tell, though, and he will know this. And the only reason I am doing this now rather than before, is that I couldn’t prove anything until now.  It was screamingly obvious from the beginning though, as he wasn’t ordering enough from me to pay the rent, let alone make a profit. If I decided to come down like him lie a ton of bricks straight away, how would I go about a cease and desist, would I have to get one from the court? And what do I do about the stock he currently holds? It has also occurred to me that he might file for bankruptcy or similar if things get heavy, where would that leave me? I could put the feelers out for a brand-new person to take it on, obviously without giving them access to files, that is an option. But that comes with its own set of issues. Also, would there be any implications for me, if I kept quiet for now? Let him order again from me as if nothing has happened, as it will be any day and I want to get all my ducks in a row first ideally….   Thanks again
    • I’ve also just realised their online website they’ve got 12 photographs of my vehicle, including close ups of the inside?? Not sure why that’s relevant.  The time stamp on the first photo is 13:57, the PCN incident time is 14:12.

    • 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.

At least i had the bit of DLA to live on but what if you were not on DLA how are you supposed to feed yourself and heat your home.Iam still massively in debt to my family as the DLA i get didn't cover the outgoings i had to pay.

They would say that there wasn't anything preventing you claiming JSA only to without any doubt ending up getting sanctioned within a short period of time

Well the last time i went to my local Jobcentre Plus the woman i saw stated i wasn't fit enough in her opinion to look for work so i couldn't claim JSA. Saying that if i did claim JSA what would happen to the backdated money they owe me would i have still got that or not.

I have not phoned them yet i thought it would be automatic that i was put back on but ive not had anything from them regarding this. I have had a letter today regarding my backdated money, ive had to fill in a form with my details they need but nothing regarding being put back on my normal benefits.

 

I don't know if i should leave it to my local MP who is looking into it or ring them myself. Ive just this minute had a letter from my local MP as i was typing this who has forwarded my enquiries to the MP Liaison team for JCP and she will get back in touch when she receives their reply.

Yes, you'll still get the backdated payments even if your next medical finds you fit for work.

I might be over thinking this but with me getting my local MP involved will this have hastened the DWP in making me go for a medical or am i just being paranoid.

 

Well, it's an understandable thing to think but no, getting your MP involved won't have hastened the process. When was your first medical, the one that you appealed against?

It was the 10th May antone. My head is done in at the minute because I've just been charged £150 (£100 fine) from the NHS for dental treatment I thought I was exempt from paying.

 

You MUST defend that, is there anything on their letter to tell you how you can appeal?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Ah, right - that is quite a short time between medicals. Not unheard of, but certainly on the shorter side of normal, if you see what I mean.

 

And I agree with Bazooka Boo: you should appeal against the fine from the NHS. Since you were successful at the Tribunal, it's likely that you should have been entitled to free treatment and the fine should not have been imposed.

Hi missy2006.

Just came across your thread.

What a time you have had.

I will just try to find some information for you about dental appeals and anything connected.

As you have just said you are ringing the Welfare Rights people on Monday.

 

Just for others a link for the Welfare Rights people.

It is surprising how much money is unclaimed.

Welcome to Welfare Rights on the Net.

http://www.welfarerights.net/home.php

 

I would be ringing the DWP on Monday as well.

It is clearly time for you to receive some paperwork.

In your situation you can clearly pay no fine.

And without paperwork it is perhaps hard to appeal.

 

Some info,i will find more.I am on the site now.

NHS Dental Services

Welcome to the NHS Business Services Authority Knowledge Base, the place to ask us anything you need to know

Penalty Charge Appeals Process

This guide outlines the steps of the appeals process for NHS dental treatment penalty charges.

You can make an appeal when you think the penalty charge has been applied incorrectly and you

want us to review our decision

Will pop back later today and see how you are.

You must be feeling tired of this by now.

But looking optimistically it sounds like you are nearly there now.

Thank goodness.

You have been through a lot in the last couple of years..I read your thread post by post.

Take care missy 2006 i will follow your thread

not being funny but with the appeals process I thought when it was overturned at tribunal you would be put in one of the ESA groups for a (quite long) period of time say for 1 year or 3 years depending on your health condition with no need for another medical in that period?

 

if someone has been found in favour at tribunal but failed there WCA due to points which is common they gotta go through the WCA MR then tribunal cycle again and again? it don't seem logical hence I thought at tribunal once put in one of the groups for a period of time (year or years) you don't have a medical or WCA within that time. unless obviously it was set for say a year then being backdated it may mean the WCA may be up again in 6 months

Hi missy 2006

Hope you are feeling ok this morning.

I read your thread through post by post and it is important to others who come this way to do the same.

Then you can see the full picture of what has happened,understand the situation fully.

 

Many people and the site team have posted information and support throughout the thread.

I fully understand how you must feel.

But hopefully this week surely the situation will be sorted out.

Best wishes and keep us updated when you make those phone calls tomorrow.

No harm in asking is there.

They are only ordinary people on the phone and surely themselves will be happy to help you.

Welfare rights and the DWP do you feel missy 2006 this is correct.Maybe the DWP first for a update.

And of course if you feel like it.

http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/DentalServices/Documents/DentalServices/Appeals_Process_Patient_View-Final-27062014.pdf

No i went to the tribunal because the DWP took me off ESA because i did not attend the medical because i was bad in bed with my back, it wasn't because i didn't get the relevant points.

 

I completely forgot about that - my apologies, I know you did say this earlier in the thread.

 

In that case, it's not at all surprising that they've called you in for a WCA so soon. Annoying, yes, but not surprising.

Well ive just checked my bank and ive been paid my backdated money they owed me. Regarding the hassle with the dentists, i had to go to the DWP and they put on the form that i was on benefits at the time so i sent this off but ive not had any reply from them as yet. I hope they have received it because i only had 28 days before i incurred a further fine, maybe i should phone them up to see if they received it.

Well that is good news, as for being fined on top of the fine, forget it IMO, if the DWP have confirmed your were in receipt of social security, then it will wipe out the first 'fine'.

But if you want peace of mind, then by all means ring them, but ensure you don't get drawn in to any protracted discussion with them.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Well it just gets worse. today i had a call by the DWP stating ive been knocked off ESA the woman said my money stops from today along with my housing benefits, she didn't tell me if i got any points she just said they would send the letter out today. she also said i would have to sign on jobseekers and i said what's the point in that, the last time i went to the DWP they said i wasn't fit to get a job and she said there will be a job that you can do. i said i need a hip replacement she said still there will be a job you can do.

 

How can they leave people to try and survive on fresh air how are people supposed to feed themselves this country stinks and i cant wait till im out of it all.

Sorry i must of forgot to say i had to go for the dreaded medical on the 24th November 2015 and obviously i didn't receive the required points more than likely i got 0. The person i saw was a male nurse, can someone please explain to me what expertise does a nurse have to assess someone with mental health issues, how can they possibly have the expertise to assess anyone.

 

If someone goes to one of these medicals surely they must have someone who is an expert in these matters. You wouldn't let a GP to do an operation on someone so why do they let people with no expertise in mental health to assess someone and say they are fit for work.
