    • Hi welcome to the Forum.  If a PCN is sent out late ie after the 12th day of the alleged offence, the charge cannot then be transferred from the driver to the keeper.T he PCN is deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch so in your case, unless you can prove that Nexus sent the PCN several days after they claim you have very little chance of winning that argument. All is not lost since the majority of PCNs sent out are very poorly worded so that yet again the keeper is not liable to pay the charge, only the driver is now liable. If you post up the PCN, front and back we will be able to confirm whether it is compliant or not. Even if it is ok, there are lots of other reasons why it is not necessary to pay those rogues. 
    • Hi 1 Date of the infringement  arr 28/03/24 21:00, dep 29/03/24 01.27 2 Date on the NTK  08/04/2024 (Date of Issue) 3 Date received Monday 15/04/24 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012?  Yes 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Yes 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No  7 Who is the parking company? GroupNexus 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] Petrol Station Roadchef Tibshelf South DE55 5T 'operating in accordance with the BPA's Code of Practice' I received a Parking Charge letter to keeper on Monday 15/04/24, the 17th day after the alleged incident. My understanding is that this is outside the window for notifying. The issue date was 08/04/2024 which should have been in good time for it to have arrived within the notice period but in fact it actually arrived at lunchtime on the 15th. Do I have to prove when it arrived  (and if so how can I do that?) or is the onus on them to prove it was delivered in time? All I can find is that delivery is assumed to be on the second working day after issue which would have been Weds 10//04/24 but it was actually delivered 5 days later than that (thank you Royal Mail!). My husband was present when it arrived - is a family member witness considered sufficient proof?
    • lookinforinfo - many thanks for your reply. It would be very interesting to get the letter of discontinuance. The court receptionist said that the county court was in Gloucester 'today' so that makes me think that some days it is in Gloucester and some days its in Cheltenham, it was maybe changed by the courts and i was never informed, who knows if DCBL were or not. My costs were a gallon of petrol and £3.40 for parking. I certainly don't want to end up in court again that's for sure but never say never lol. Its utterly disgusting the way these crooks can legally treat motorists but that's the uk for you. I'm originally from Scotland so it's good that they are not enforceable there but they certainly still try to get money out of you. I have to admit i have lost count of the pcn's i have received in the last 2 yr and 4 months since coming to England for work, most of them stop bothering you on their own eventually, it was just this one that they took it all the way. Like i mentioned in my WS the the likes of Aldi and other companies can get them cancelled but Mcdonalds refused to help me despite me being a very good customer.   brassednecked - many thanks   honeybee - many thanks   nicky boy - many thanks    
    • Huh? This is nothing about paying just for what I use - I currently prefer the averaged monthly payment - else i wouldn't be in credit month after month - which I am comfortable with - else I wold simply request a part refund - which I  would have done if they hadn't reduced my monthly dd after the complaint I raised (handled slowly and rather badly) highlighted the errors in their systems (one of which they do seem to have fixed) Are you not aware DD is always potentially variable? ah well, look it up - but my deal is a supposed to average the payments over a year, and i dont expect them to change payments (up or down) without my informed agreement ESPECIALLY when I'm in credit over winter.   You are happy with your smart meter - jolly for you I dont want one, dont have to have one  - so wont   I have a box that tells me my electricity usage - was free donkeys years ago and shows me everything I need to know just like a smart meter but doesnt need a smart meter,  and i can manually set my charges - so as a side effect - would show me if the charges from the supplier were mismatched. Doesn't tell me if the meters actually calibrated correctly - but neither does your smart meter. That all relies on a label and the competence of the testers - and the competence of any remote fiddling with the settings. You seem happy with that - thats fine. I'm not.

    • 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.

But they went to wrong house, as in Acacia Avenue instead of Acacia grove, so they still ended up with an unlawful arrest wrongful detention, and a bitten bum and scratches when the dogs & cats went for them.  Police surgeon confirmed it was the cats not the dogs that injured the coppers.

Interesting that one of the remaining hurdles to 'a deal' is that the EU want to be able to take the UK to court and sue if the oathbreaker runs to form.

Johnson 'the liar' of course seems to resent that and have issues with having something hold him to account ..

 

bit rich as the USA want their companies to be able to sue the UK government if the UK gov implement something (like rights/health and safety/environmental protections) that affects the US companies profits negatively ..

It seems to be going slowly in Brussels. The negotiators have had sandwiches taken in for lunch and there's talk of things being announced this evening, possibly.

 

They think the PM is ringing around ERG MPs to make sure they'll back him. Does he really need their votes? Someone tweeted earlier that the version of Brexit he seems to have negotiated is closer to the ERG's idea than anyone else's and he's still worried they may not be happy. I'm not sure what they will be happy with tbh.

I see Starmer has instructed labour to vote in favour of Johnsons thin deal

What a prat. Abstaining is the only real option for a credible leader otherwise he is effectively supporting Johnsons lies to the UK voters.

 

 

He probably thinks that the voters will vote for him as Johnson is the only other option

well Corbyn thought that, and although Starmer is a better bet than Corbyn ever would be

- once betrayed, many will never forgive.

I don't agree with what Starmer is doing. How is Labour going to criticise anything that goes wrong with Brexit when they voted for the agreement?

Exactly.

There is also the political gain of the internal war among the Populists/Tories being more visible if labour simply abstains 'Not wanting no deal, but unable to support this half baked crock that the Tories are shovelling onto the voters rather than what Johnson and the Leave campaign promised'

 

Starmer is a prat. Simply to avoid the snide snipes of Johnson rather than pressing Johnson for real answers it would seem.

So, it would seem that the populists have agreed with Turkey - the Vote Leave Brexit whipping boy immigrant flood claims - what is largely a continuance of the Turkey EU deal - aka what was already available...

 

Wonder if that includes the preferential visa status for Turkish citizens to enter the UK as they have with the EU ?

Now wouldn't that be something given the xenophobic Brexiter poster on Turkish immigration to the UK if we stayed in the EU ?

Starmer is just scared of going against what the people voted for.  He thinks the risk of not supporting brexit is greater than the risks to peoples livelihood.

I also read that he doesn't want to upset Leave voters that Labour lost in the last election, Jase.

 

I see the reasoning

But neither seems to hold water to me

 

Labour voters were 70% remain - thats who he's now betraying - the others already considered themselves betrayed - and the polls claim many regret voting for Johnson now anyway - so Starmers stance is likely to add to their disaffection

 

add to that the simple fact that Labour abstaining is extremely unlikely to make any difference in the vote result - and if it does the flack/credit will go to the populist rebels and the DUP and SNP

.. provided Starmer steps up his game just a bit

 

 

Seems to me that what starmers really afraid of is Cluckski and the corbynistas

That is the reasoning, but I agree it doesn't hold water.  It just proves once again that brexit is being pushed by a hidden hand.  He's more afraid of not towing the line at this stage

Why?

Its ages until another general election and all he is doing is putting off the hard choices until later - when the issues will be fresh in voters minds on the run up to a vote

 

He's rather a lame duck opposition leader at the moment doing little better than Corbyn did - although it would seem that Corbyns ineffectiveness was through choice as he wanted Brexit.

Starmer should be biting the bullets now

 

I understand that Starmer doesn't want to be seen as 'wanting to undo Brexit' despite the polls saying that Remain sentiment is clearly in a majority now that truths are coming out, but he shouldn't be seen to be embracing one that doesn't meet the claims made to the UK populace.

 

Starmer should be giving Milliband a front seat facing Johnson while Starmer focuses on the internal issues

While we wait for some expansion on that,

Jase, Is that the excuse for Carbuncles ineffectiveness (except against his own Labour MPs) - that some one was pulling his strings? Or do you think Carbuncle was immune .. or a victim because he  didn't .. whatever ...

I'm convinced carbuncle just wanted to consolidate his power and get Brexit so he could do whatever he wanted - largely like Johnson.
