    • I have received a PCN from Euro Car Parks for MFG - Esso Cobham - Gravesend. I was completely unaware that there was any such limit for parking and always considered this to be a service station. I stopped there to use the toilet, have a coffee and made a couple of work calls. I have read the previous topics on this location which suggest I can ignore this and ECP will not take legal action. The one possible complication is that the vehicle is leased by my employer so I do not want to involve them with the associated reminders and threatening letters. The PCN was first issued to the leasing company Arval who have notified ECP of the hiring company. I have attached a copy of the PCN Notice to Hirer with details removed as per instructions. What options do I have or should I just pay the PCN promptly at the reduced rate of £60? img20240424_23142631.pdf
    • What you have uploaded is a letter with daft empty threats from third-party paper tigers.  Just ignore it. What we need to see is the original invoice you received last October or November.
    • Thanks for posting the CPR contents. i do wish you hadn't blanked out the dates and times since at times they can be relevant . Can you please repost including times and dates. They say that they sent a copy of  the original  PCN that they sent to the Hirer  along with your hire agreement documents. Did you receive them and if so can you please upload the original PCN without erasing dates and times. If they did include  all the paperwork they said, then that PCN is pretty near compliant except for their error with the discount time. In the Act it isn't actually specified but to offer a discount for 14 days from the OFFENCE is a joke. the offence occurred probably a couple of months prior to you receiving your Notice to Hirer.  Also the words in parentheses n the Act have been missed off. Section 14 [5][c] (c)warn the hirer that if, after the period of 21 days beginning with the day after that on which the notice to hirer is given, the amount of unpaid parking charges referred to in the notice to keeper under paragraph 8(2)(f) or 9(2)(f) (as the case may be) has not been paid in full, the creditor will (if any applicable requirements are met) have the right to recover from the hirer so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Though it states "if any applicable ...." as opposed to "if all applicable......" in Section 8 or 9. Maybe the Site could explain what the difference between the two terms mean if there is a difference. Also on your claim form they keeper referring to you as the driver or the keeper.  You are the Hirer and only the Hirer is responsible for the charge EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T THE DRIVER. So they cannot pursue the driver and nowhere in the Hirer section of the Act is the hirer ever named as the keeper so NPC are pursuing the wrong person.

    • 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.

Dunno how you worked that out, the poor people, as you call them, pay 20%, the rich pay 40 or 45%. Now I could be wrong, but I think 45% is more than 20%.

 

but tax evasion means they don't actually ever pay that, just like Amazon and Starbucks corporation tax rate is 'officially' 21% here, as 'officially' is the UK arm of Goldman Sacks,

The figures were in the articles for you to see and you could have followed the links rather than just spout your rhetoric.

 

Google how much they actually pay for yourself.

or just read the current headlines (God forbid you should follow up with some effort to confirm the headlines you want to believe) on TAX deal being made by HMRC where they pay a small amount for amnesty on 10 years of nothing paid.

Did you watch the programme on BBC2 on Friday about the Cayman Islands ? Worth watching !

 

It partly explains what happens when international law allows tax avoidance i.e offshoring profits to no or low tax countries/areas. There are now tens of thousands of companies who route their accounts via the Cayman Islands, so they pay zero tax on tbe money they transfer there. And that is just the Caymans, where there are many other tax havens around the world.

 

There needs to be international agreement on these tax issues. Otherwise you will end up in a silly situation, where VAT is continually increased, they tinker around with income tax rates depending on voter tolerances etc.

 

I personally believe in having very few tax rates and to simplify the system. E.g no income tax under say £15k, then standard 25p rate for everyone up to say £150k. £150k or more a 35p rate. NI at a standard rate on all income above say £3k. The Treasury can work out a simpler system, so they don't need rules the size of a dozen telephone directories.

 

If government can obtain the £30 + billion missed tax per year from companies, they will be better off and not have such difficult decision to make on personal tax/spending.

We could do with some help from you.

Its the same systems as the banks, and Starbucks and Google etc use

 

In 2014, I paid more income tax in the UK than the following multi-billion pound businesses paid in UK corporation tax (as did everybody who paid any income tax at all):

 

JP Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank AG, Nomura Holding and Morgan Stanley make billions in profit in Britain – but analysis reveals their UK arms paid not a penny of business levy in 2014

It was a bigger insult when Labour were in, they didn't pay anything then.

 

Labour has no right at all to make any form of complaint about the amount and if it is correct or not.

% of google's income is a lot of money, I think that when income starts getting into telephone numbers the normal rules of finance no longer apply and other criteria have to be applied, these people and organisations have a massive role in maintaining the stability of the economy.

 

I wonder when I see these figures if anyone has ever worked out the effect of stripping them of their money and distributing it. i am betting very little and the disruption it would cause would far outway any benefits.

France has asked for twice as much as we did, even though the business generated a quarter of the amount there than it did in UK. George is waiting to see if they get it. In my estimation that means we could have asked for over a billion. The deal was £130 mil. Google it:madgrin:

Google will be paying the UK the equivalent of about 3% Tax as far as we can figure

Italy has just got the equivalent of about 15% out of them

The Vice President of Google on The Andrew Marr show this morn. It's a smug reply from Google but it would be because there's no competition. If we knew these various global businesses were being philanthropic in some way to benefit the people of this country as a whole, we could get justification. Transparency is what we want. We could get justification. We could do with all the specialist equipment available around the world for our health system. We continue to hear of cases where people go abroad for certain procedures because it's not available here. What if all businesses held their money off shore. You will see more of that I think.
