    • Thanks for posting up the back of the NTK. The good news s that as it does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act, it means that you are not liable for the charge as the keeper as I explained in a previous post.  The PC fails for two reasons. The first is that it does not specify the period of parking. All it does is list the arrival and departure times of your car. Obviously that does not include the time taken to drive to the car parking space, manoeuvre the car into the space and later drive from the space to the exit. Nor does their times include things like getting kids disabled people out of and into the car as well as things like returning the trolley whilst still being parked. All of which can add a fair bit of time to the parking period which can then be subtracted from their ANPR times and makes your actual parking time a lot shorter than 118 minutes they seem to think it is. The second reason is that they failed to ask the keeper to pay Schedule 4 Section 9 [2][e]  (e)state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper— (i)to pay the unpaid parking charges You as keeper are now in the clear which is a good reason for you to contact Sainsbury  stating that you are being pursued as the keeper when you are not liable under the Act as well as the oher things I suggested in my previous post. If you don't get it cancelled with Sainsbury this could drag on for months with endless letters unlawfully pushing the price up to scare you into paying.  
    • Brilliant! That's great to hear and honestly pleased I'm wrong, my advice was out of concern. I checked some of your previous posts last night and you've been giving great advice to others at times. Bringing a claim can be serious (counter-claims etc) and it didn't appear you were knowledgeable based on posts so far. Far from an expert myself, just interested and will try to help. I'll sit on the sidelines, best of luck with the claim!
    • Thank you so much for the advice  I will try and up my savings to £500 for the next 6 months. Although I do still have an uphill battle, I feel more able to deal with it.  I hope my experience with the cifas marker helps someone else who finds themselves in that quite horrible situation. It is a huge weight off my shoulders getting it removed.
    • Believe it or not, fully familiar with the County Court process. My posts were seeking confirmation by asking questions, nothing more as an aid to people who look at this thread in the future. People should not jump to conclusions.

    • 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.

It will be my birthday at the end of the month. I will be 38.

It always becomes a depressing time of the year as I have no partner and I live on my own.

 

I am planning to travel to Cornwall for a few days as I can't bear being on my own at home on my birthday.

I would just love someone (i.e. a single woman in her 20s or early 30s with no kids) to go with me.

 

 

The problem is that I have Asperger Syndrome, and anxiety and social phobias get in the way, and that is why I have had these problems.

 

I love musicals and the theatre, (I have booked a ticket for a theatre down in Cornwall, not Blackpool, and I will be going to it).

OK, I can go on my own, but it's nice to share things with someone you love. Couples married for years take it for granted.

 

It is so difficult writing about how I feel, and it has taken a couple of days just to decide what I want to say on here.

 

I would love to meet someone, and was wondering whether anyone knew anyone who would like to meet someone like myself?

I am in the Nottingham area.

 

I know that most of you can't help me here, and I doubt that this message will remain on here for too long,

but I do feel better for writing it.

A CAG member is who I am

I really hate things if they are a [prob-lam]

Hi George

 

While this is a consumer forum, i share your pain actually quite well.

Have you ever though about trying something like online dating? Just experimenting and seeing if it is something that would help?

morning george

 

i'll freely admit i also have aspergers and while i feel uncomfortable in large groups of people the social side doesn't hit me that hard. However i have two daughters diagnosed with autism who do tend to struggle with any new situations.

 

my advice is probably stuff you already know but i'll list it anyway

 

Don't worry too much about your own behavior, i can lie awake for hours and wonder about "oh god what if they thought this/that/the other" - anyone who enjoys being with you overlooks that

Don't feel you have to spend too much time explaining what aspergers is, people will generally ask if they don't know

Pick somewhere slightly quieter to meet people, if your uncomfortable in large groups pick a quieter restaurant or cafe - larch farms & the hutt is just outside of nottingham and i know the hutt has great food

Quiet places are where you make them - try newstead abbey, the gardens are huge with several seated areas but other quiet areas are hidden around more than you think

 

I know it might be a odd place to look but try contacting highbury hospital they have a specialist aspergers unit there (try Jackie Dziewanowska as a point of contact shes excellent) and ask if they know of any dating service for those with aspergers, if its out they will know it
