    • Hi T911 and welcome to CAG. As you say, an interesting screw up. So much for quality control! Anyway, our regular advice is to ignore all of their increasingly threatening missives... UNLESS you get a letter of claim, then come back here and we'll help you write a "snotty letter" to help them decide whether to take it any further with their stoopid pics. If you get mail you're unsure of, just upload it for the team to have a look.
    • Thanks @lolerzthat's an extremely helpful post. There is no mention of a permit scheme in the lease and likewise, no variation was made to bring this system in. I recall seeing something like a quiet enjoyment clause, but will need to re-read it and confirm. VERY interesting point on the 1987 Act. There hasn't been an AGM in years and I've tried to get one to start to no avail. However, I'll aim to find out more about how the PPC was brought in and revert. Can I test with you and others on the logic of not parking for a few months? I'm ready to fight OPS, so if they go nuclear on me then surely it doesn't matter? I assume that I will keep getting PCNs as long as I live here, so it doesn't make sense for me to change the way that I park?  Unless... You are suggesting that having 5 or so outstanding PCNs, will negatively affect any court case e.g. through bad optics? Or are we trying to force their hand to go to court with only 2 outstanding PCNs?
    • That is so very tempting.   They are doing my annual review as we speak and I'm waiting for their response once I have it I will consider my next steps.    The debt camel website mentioned above is amzing and helping to. Education me alot    
    • Sending you a big hug. I’m sorry your going through this. The letters they send sound aweful, and the waiting game for them to stop. But these guys seem so knowledgable and these letters should stop. Hang in there, and keep in touch. Don’t feel alone 
    • In my time I've never seen a payout/commission from a PPC to a landlord/MA. Normally the installation of all the cameras/payment of warden patrols etc is free but PPCs keep 100% of the ticket revenue. Not saying it doesn't happen mind. I've done some more digging on this: Remember, what your lease doesn't say is just as important as what it does say. If your lease doesn't mention a parking scheme/employment of a PPC/Paying PCNs etc you're under no legal obligation to play along to the PPC's or the MA's "Terms and conditions". I highly doubt your lease had a variation in place to bring in this permit system. Your lease will likely have a "quiet enjoyment" clause for your demised space and the common areas and having to fight a PPC/MA just to park would breach that. Your lease has supremacy of contract, but I do agree it's worth keeping cool and not parking there (and hence getting PCNs) for a couple months just so that the PPC doesn't get blinded by greed and go nuclear on you if you have 4 or 5 PCNs outstanding. At your next AGM, bring it up that the parking controls need to be removed and mention the legal reasons why. One reason is that under S37(5b) Landlord and Tenant Act 1987,  more than 75% of leaseholders and/or the landlord would have needed to agree, and less than 10% opposed, for the variation to take place. I highly doubt a ballot even happened before the PPC was bought in so OPS even being there is unlawful, breaching the terms of your lease. In this legal sense,  the communal vote of the "directors" of the freehold company would have counted for ONE vote of however many flats there are (leases/tenants) + 1 (landlord). It's going to be interesting to see where this goes.

    • 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.

Some  Brexit supporters such as Nigel Lawson live in France. I think Nigel Farage spends time living in mainland Europe, no doubt enjoying the fruits of having been an MEP for a long time. How many other wealthy influential people have homes in EU countries ?

 

 

Does makes you think, why people so hostile to the EU seem to enjoy living in countries where the EU is apparently so in control of everything ? 

 

The EU financial transparency rules come into effect from January 2020 and I do hope that Brexit is really not about turning the UK into a tax haven, where people can hide their wealth. It would be ironic, if the EU insisted on the UK following all financial laws of the EU, as part of any trade deal.

 

 

Because in EU countries everything is out of control, especially if you're a foreigner. 

So you can go there, spend your pound sterling and nobody would even notice you're there thanks to the open borders and the continuous mayhem.

I bet this will continue after brexit because of the EU incompetence.

It's never going to happen HB.

I said that before the referendum and since: there will not be any need for visas to enter any European country after Brexit. 

Similarly to Switzerland and other countries not in the EU where we can go without any visa.

Don't forget that there are countries on the other side of the world that we can visit without a visa, so the same system will be applied in Europe. 

If you don't believe,  keep it in mind for when it happens.

Scaremongers want us to believe that nothing and nobody will be able to go in or out of UK after Brexit unless they go through a strict vetting process and invasive scrutiny. 

That is simply nonsense.

LOL

 

Who has failed to deliver on brexit promises?

Who has prepared their border (France)

and who has Not (GB)

Who has negotiated consistently and honestly (EU)

Who has delayed, reneged and threatened to hold back what is already owed?

 

It certainly isnt the EU that is continually demonstrating incompetence.

 

Its quite simple even aside from the devastation Brexit IS already doing and WILL do further to the UK's business wellbeing.... 

 

We already see that Scotland and NI has already been added to the 'THEM rhetoric of the Brexiters.

How long before those who strive to divide us for their personal benefit divide us further?

Its what legend has told us the snake does.

 

 

Its quite simple.

The UK is far stronger, more influential and wealthier when working with the other members of our Union and will be far far weaker and poorer if the Union Breaks asunder.

 

We are stronger working together with our nearest and closest and those whos core values match our own

 

 

In 3 years, No one has ever defined a real world benefit of Brexit

and still avoid doing so - Simply because there isn't any.

You're forgetting though that through the EU we have trade deals, or trading agreements already in place.  I don't subscribe to the worst case scenarios, but there's still a question mark over how things will work if we don't want to 1. pay into this supposed undemocratic authoritarian institution, and 2. hope to keep things relatively the same as they always have been.

 

I don't know why anyone uses Switzerland as an example all the time either.  Switzerland still pay into the EU, are a member of Schengen, and still have a trade agreement with the EU.  If it works cleanly for Switzerland it's because they have an agreement.  If you have no agreement it won't be plain sailing.

This must be the best joke I heard this century!

 

If that is the very best you can come up with, it just demonstrates the truth of what I stated.

No benefits to Brexit for the British public.

 

 

and just today, the Taoiseach has clearly stated with Johnson stood next to him that the UK has put no new proposals on the table - unchallenged by Johnson.

 

So Johnsons UK 'government have been clearly shown to be lying to the UK public in claiming they have put new let alone realistic proposals forward.

What else can I say when you make statements like this:

Who has negotiated consistently and honestly (EU)

 

Two adjectives you can never attribute to the EU are exactly "consistent" and "honest".

You used both in the same sentence.

To me that's comedy at its best!

Everyone see Javid avoiding real questions on deal negotiations

Just a tiny bit better than the forum Brexiters, but not much

 

and Johnson just spouting 'garbled bollocks' while the Taoiseach clearly stated; with Johnson stood next to him; that the UK has put no new proposals on the table

- unchallenged by Johnson.

 

 

CLEARLY Shows who's honest and who isn't

.. and just to clarify for the Brexiters .. Johnson and his pit of snakes certainly ISN'T honest or telling the truth.

Johnson says anything that suits him.

Calling Johnson a snake is giving Edens' snake a bad name - but it does seem most suitable ..

 

 

and it also seems that way to the UK electorate it would seem according to yougov:

If he was at Hogwarts, he would be in Slytherin

To dig deeper into how the public perceive the new Conservative leader, we also asked what Hogwarts house they think Boris Johnson would be put into by the sorting hat if he attended JK Rowling’s fictional school.

I never said BoJo was honest or consistent,  in fact he is exactly the opposite.

That doesn't make the eurocrats honest and consistent.

 

Whether the key EU players in the Brexit negotiations are honest or consistent is a subjective consideration but there is no doubt that they are stunningly bright and it's little wonder that the shower who went in to bat for the UK never stood a chance of out-negotiating them.

Tgat comment is incredible rude and also just the sort of comment someone makes when they are losing an argument.

 

All reputable sources say no deal will hurt the economy , that is on top of the damage that has been done over the last three years. Yes it is possible the economy might continue to grow but at a much slower rate. That means less tax revenue , less money to invest in infrastructure, less money to the NHS . Lower rates of employment . There you go basic economics . As Thatcher said, it’s about balancing the budget
