    • Thank-you dx for your feedback. That is the reason I posted my opinion, because I am trying to learn more and this is one of the ways to learn, by posting my opinions and if I am incorrect then being advised of the reasons I am incorrect. I am not sure if you have educated me on the points in my post that would be incorrect. However, you are correct on one point, I shall refrain from posting on any other thread other than my own going forward and if you think my post here is unhelpful, misleading or in any other way inappropriate, then please do feel obliged to delete it but educate me on the reason why. To help my learning process, it would be helpful to know what I got wrong other than it goes against established advice considering the outcome of a recent court case on this topic that seemed to suggest it was dismissed due to an appeal not being made at the first stage. Thank-you.   EDIT:  Just to be clear, I am not intending to go against established advice by suggesting that appeals should ALWAYS be made, just my thoughts on the particular case of paying for parking and entering an incorrect VRN. Should this ever happen to me, I will make an appeal at the first stage to avoid any problems that may occur at a later stage. Although, any individual in a similar position should decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate course of action. Also, I continue to be grateful for any advice you give on my own particular case.  
    • you can have your humble opinion.... You are very new to all this private parking speculative invoice game you have very quickly taken it upon yourself to be all over this forum, now to the extent of moving away from your initial thread with your own issue that you knew little about handling to littering the forum and posting on numerous established and existing threads, where advice has already been given or a conclusion has already resulted, with your theories conclusions and observations which of course are very welcomed. BUT... in some instances, like this one...you dont quite match the advice that the forum and it's members have gathered over a very long consensual period given in a tried and trusted consistent mannered thoughtful approach. one could even call it forum hi-jacking and that is becoming somewhat worrying . dx
    • 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 !!!  🖕 The more I read this forum and the more I engage with it's incredible users, the more I learn and the more my knowledge expands. If my case gets to court, the Judge will dismiss it after I utter my first sentence, and you DCBL and Highview don't even know why .... OMG! .... So excited to get to court!
    • 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.

    • 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.

I think you just contact TFL revenues protection people and pay the administrative fine. They probably can accept debit card payment. If they have not decided the administrative fine yet, he just needs to explain how he managed to use your student card. Did he pick it up in error ? Or did he have no money on his card, so decided to use your card, not thinking it was a problem ? He needs to explain exact circumstances of how he came to use your card. He needs to be honest and to say sorry for his mistake.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank u for ur reply....my husband was going to get medicine for me as I had stomach aches I also went to the doctor the same day...

 

when I got the letter from Tfl I wrote back to them stating he was in a hurry and don't realise he took my card as it had the same cover pack as his... I also attached a copy of my prescription .....

 

The charge sheet says Tfl has applied for a £125 against costs of prosecution.... I am really afraid of the charge sheet means my husband will have a criminal record!!!! I have been given three options 1 plead guilty outside court 2 plead guilty in the court and 3 do not plead guilty.... I want to plead guilty and apologise for the ignorance...

 

But i am financially not very stable to pay a huge fine today is the last day as the letter got posted on 1 st of October but I got it yesterday 19 th of October and as it says I have 21 days to respond I don't even have time to think or consult any one ....

 

Can you please let me know what would be the best option ....

Just means they will charge £125 as as administrative fine, if he admits to the mistake and pays the £125. If he does this, it won't go to court, so no criminal offence.

 

Your husband should phone TFL saying the letter has only just been received, even though it is dated 1st October and that he cannot pay the £125 in full. He might be able to part paet now and the rest by a given date. He Won't find out, unless he phones them.

We could do with some help from you.

Hello again.

 

For us to be able to advise, can I ask some more questions please?

 

You're talking about a charge sheet, so you mean a court summons?

 

And whose name is on it, yours or your husband's?

 

What is the offence stated on the summons?

 

If you have a name and a reference number on the letter from TfL, then if we give you some more information, you could ring them once you've dealt with the court paperwork to see if they will negotiate. Let's deal with the urgent stuff first though.

Oyster card, the most 'accidentally' used card in the world.

 

Which is why they charge £125 as an admin charge if you get caught and if you don't pay you get taken to court.

 

From what i understand, a lot of people use Oyster cards belonging to someone else who receives reduced travel fares. They keep the Oyster cards on the side at home for family usage. If they wanted to avoid a mix up, just keep them in own wallets or handbags.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I've started a new thread for you as the one you posted on dates back to 2012.

 

Please tell us what happened, how long ago and whether TfL have written to either of you yet?

 

 

 

Thank you for the response. Yes Tfl did contact me few days after the incident which happened on 21 st of July 2015 .. I wrote back to them saying it was an accident as my cover pack was same as his and he was in a hurry to get my tablets I also attached a prescription copy with the letter I wrote to them and apologising for the negligence. However , I still got a letter from the court with a charge sheet that says Tfl has applied for £125 for the costs and further charges may incur if this doesn't get sorted by the single magistrate court....I am terrified with the terms like " sentence" and fine, charge sheet...the charge sheet states court summons with charges 7(1) (b)

 

I don't know if I should plead guilty outside court as my husband is not v good with talking .. Please advice as I want to apologise and pay the fine with no criminal record... Plz help

You have been advised what to do. Your husband simply accepts the out of court £125 charge which means no criminal record and he arranges to pay TFL the money.

 

If he is not good with English, you can phone TFL while he is with you and you can sort it out with them. TFL staff may be available who speak the same native language as your husband.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi yes it is a notice from the court with my husband name on it saying he needs to respond in 21 days but it is dated 1st October and I received it yesterday 19th October I am afraid I have to respond today , however if it reaches them after 21 days would be a problem

 

The charges include contrary to regulation 7(1) (b) of the public service vehicles ( conduct of drivers, inspectors, conductors and passengers) regulations 1990 sl.no 1020 and contrary to section 25(3)of the public passengers vehicle act 1981

Thank you for the information, Rochell. I have sent an SOS to one of the forum regulars to see if he can get here today.

 

HB

 

Not sure what information Rochell is wanting. TFL have offered out of court settlement for £125 and if they want to avoid court action with criminal record, then they just need to contact TFL to accept their offer arranging to pay the £125.

We could do with some help from you.

N it is a court notice not from Tfl .... Hence I am afraid that is a offence and also the time allotted is 21 days as I received it yesterday ... I don't know if they would still not consider it if they receive it after 21 days as I don't know when will it reach them

If you don't hear from anyone else by about 4pm, I think you should try ringing TfL. Maybe they will also give you an email address and then you can write today as well.

 

I'm still a bit confused about this letter. Is there any chance you could scan it or take a picture of it, remove personal details and post it up for us to look at please?

A bit confused that this is from a court. Normally TFL respond offering an administrative fine as an out of court settlement, which if paid means no criminal conviction. If you pay an out of court settlement, it means no criminal record. Only a Magistrate or Judge in a court can issue someone with a criminal conviction.

 

Surely there is a telephone helpline on the letter received, which you can phone to find out what you need to do. Also to advise them that you have only just received the letter.

We could do with some help from you.

I'm not sure this is correct, UB

 

I read it as this is a court form, not from TfL

Where the OP can plead guilty and not attend court, plead guilty and attend court, or plead not guilty and attend.

 

I think the £125 is the costs TfL will seek in court, rather than TfL accepting £125 for an "out of court settlement".

I was reading it, as a response from TFL, but seems they have decided to just prosecute. So yes you could be right that pleading guilty paying the £125 means a criminal conviction.

 

If this is the case, they need to contact TFL to find out whether they have refused an out of court administrative settlement, to avoid a criminal conviction.

I think we need complete clarification on this one please

 

Rochell, please answer the following and I'm sorry if you think you have done so before, but it is really important to be precise:

1. Does the paper you have seen say on it 'You are summonsed to attend a Court" or words to that effect. If it does it will state what Court to go to and what date and time.

 

2. Is the paper addressed to you or your husband? It will have the person's name on it.

 

3. What exactly does the allegation state?

 

 

If you can answer those three points clearly I'll come back and respond again.

 

Please do NOT assume that TfL have given an opportunity to pay a settlement unless that is EXACTLY what the letter says

Yes that's what I think it is a court notice saying it will be dealt with single justice court ... I believe £125 is the amount they r fighting for in the court n I need to respond to the court so m afraid has it already become a criminal offence
