    • Apply for an HM Armed Forces Veteran Card   An HM Armed Forces Veteran Card is a way to prove that you served in the UK armed forces. The card can make it quicker and easier to apply for support as a veteran. It’s free to apply. You can currently only apply for a Veteran Card if you have a UK address. Veterans who do not have a UK address will be able to apply later this year.

    • The Private Parking Code of Parking has been postponed as the poor dears are frightened that thew will all go out of business once it becomes Law. We all wish but nothing could be further from the truth so doubtless most of them will have to change their ways if they don't want to be removed as approved parking companies. Thank you for still retaining and producing the original PCN which, no surprise, fails to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. [It even states the vehicle "breeched" the terms  when it was the driver that allegedly breached the terms}. It fails to specify the Parking Period and whilst it does show the arrival and departure ANPR times on the photographs [that I cannot read] they do not include how long you actually parked nor was it specified on the Notice  [photos don't count]. So that means that you spent even less time parked though it would help had you not blocked out the dates and times, so good if you could please include them on your next  post. Pofa  asks the driver to pay the charge S( [2][b] which your PCN doesn't though they do ask the keeper to pay.and they have missed out theses words in parentheses S9[2][f] ii)  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; All of those errors mean that the cannot transfer the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now responsible . What a rubbish Claim Form -doesn't even give the date of the event which it should.  
    • it doesn't matter what you are being charged or if you missed the discount period. you ain't paying anyway..... if this ever gets before a judge. then the ins and out of POFA2012 or any IPC/BPA guidelines might come into play. until then i go get on with your life. you are spending far too much time on a speculative invoice scan scheme  its almost as if you believe these are fines and enforceable in a criminal court and you could have bailiffs at your door any minute.

    • 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've received a letter this morning telling me that £10.75 a week is being stopped out of my benefits to pay Southern Water; £6.23 for current charges and £3.70 for arrears.

 

I'm well confused. They have added the debt to my current bill, are now getting it paid direct from my benefits so what exactly is the court case for?

Is there any reason i should delay my N180 return for this?

 

Im not at all bothered by the deductions from benefits, its the way i wanted to pay back the debt anyhow. Im just very confused that the court case exists if payment was being sorted in this manner. Tomorrow i will ring both the benefits agency and southern water just to see what they say. I thought the intelligent thing to do would be to post here first tho.

 

Off topic: is not being able to attach images a normal occurrence or is something wrong with my account?

 

Thanks.

The only problem with that is they will take the full amount.....rather than be challenged by your defence and risk losing or you paying a lesser figure.That request to the DWP has been actioned since you submitted your defence.

 

So depending on which way you wish to go...either ring the DWP and inform them the debt is already a matter of a court claim which you have challenged....or ring the claimant and ask what they think they are playing at...making deductions at source for a debt that is currently subject to a court claim they have issued and you have defended.

 

Submit the DQ irrespective..

Thanks.

 

I contacted the benefits agency and they are unable to stop the money going to southern water without their consent.

 

I contacted southern water and they are saying the past debt (roughly £2000) isnt on my account just my current first unpaid bill (£162)

 

i have no idea what their playing at as the bill i have in front of me says the £2000 has been merged with my current account.

 

The amount they are taking from my benefits has nothing to do with the outstanding £2000 apparently and is just for the current £162 even tho it says its for current (what current that bill hasn't been generated yet) and arrears.

 

Will the fact that i cant attend court

(i'm pretty agoraphobic at the best of times, and this isnt the best of times) be a problem?

 

With that in mind how do i fill in the n180?

Witness and and Hearing availability dates?

 

Thanks again.

You should be looking to arrange payment of the current charges (not included in the claim form) otherwise you will be getting another court claim.

 

So current bill as above......but why arrears ?

 

N180 is easy...yes to mediation...yes to small claims track...state your local county court...1 witness yourself......the rest is self explanatory tick boxes.......3 copies...court claimants sols and your file...done.

Thanks again for clarification on the N180.

I tend to overthink things.

 

Arrears money being taken is apparently for the bill that has only recently (last few weeks) been issued.

 

 

Im happy with this arrangement as long as it is as described as they seem to be making a right mess of things and im not too confident in anything they say.

 

 

I may shoot of an email for written clarification after posting this actually.

Received an email from uksearch this evening containing complete bills from 8/4/08 to 4/11/16, the court summons was for dates 23/05/2008 to 29/11/2016 so they are 25 days short. Not sure what i do about the shortfall but what day do i go back from for the 7 years cutoff?

 

Additionally im still getting conflicting information from Southern Water regarding if they have put the approx £1600 arrears onto my current water account or not and whether the attachment of earnings order is for current bill only or current and arrears.

 

I sent the following email to [email protected] on 15/6/17 but have heard nothing back. Damn just realised the email is missing an 'n' :| i shall resend this now.

 

Customer Number: ********

 

You have recently applied for an attachment of earnings to my benefits for ‘current’ and ‘arrears’ payments direct from my benefits.

 

I just wanted to clarify that the amounts being claimed via the attachment of earnings order are for my current bill of £162 only and not the outstanding £1606.72 we are currently fighting at court for?

 

Additionally I have some confusion over whether the arrears £1606.72 has been merged into my current account or not? I have a bill in front of me dated 22nd May that shows you have added the fore mentioned arrears to my account along with the £162.03 from the last generated bill. However when ever I ring in and talk to someone they say the £1606.72 is not merged to my current account. Could you please clarify?

 

Many thanks.

 

Gordon Ash

 

I would really appreciate some direction with both matters.

 

Many thanks.
