    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (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; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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 see the water crim companies want to increase the water tax the public pays .. to pay for 'investment' to resolve the (allegedly NOT yet proven beyond all possible measures of doubt) illegal and immoral poisoning of our waterways and environment for profit by these companies

.. but they have already been paid to do that - and just gave it and more (by loading the companies with debt) to pay dividends and boss' bonuses for NOT doing that ..

So why would anyone think they wont just carry on in the same manner with any extra money?

Bills should be FROZEN (at least) and ALL dividends and bonuses cancelled until the issues are resolved imo

oh - and if anyone doubts that, according to an analysis by David Hall, visiting professor at the public services international research unit at Greenwich University:

"on average, 23.5 million householders will pay £425 more to 2030 to pay for the investment to fix the sewerage system. This is on top of an increase of £624 to fund dividend payments in the same period."

.. So thats 50% more in (company assurances on) dividends than investment from these increases in water bills.

I don't know about the figures but I think the privatised water companies have done a terrible job over pollution and renewal of the system. It seems that every time they're caught out, the want to draw a line under it - and all the debts, the bonuses and payments to shareholders - and load everything onto the customer again.

Like you, I don't trust them to invest the extra money where they say they will.

I agree with feargal almost completely. I'd accept the invites and turn up with a film crew.

I see the northern end of hs2 has been ditched - until theres another twirl to SAY it hasn't been and another few million of taxpayer money is routed to VIPals to prove it .. until the next general election either removes the responsibility of gives them 4/5 more years to fuddle it (and more pollution poured into the rivers in the smoke and mirror efforts to make it look like it will be done).

and a little additional point:

The approx 11 year sun cycle is 'widely known. That its variable, and shorter cycles normally end up much hotter at an earlier peak is less well known

This appear to be one of those cycles.

An additional extreme concern is that the sun also has approx 90 year cycles .. and we are looking more and more like we are at the start of 30-40 years of increased solar output in addition to the still increasing levels of greenhouse gas output turning our planet into a greenhouse to trap that increased heat.

 

Of course all this is complicated by planetary orbits and their gravitational effects on the Sun as well as the distance,

... and our Earths' orbit not being circular .. but we have also passed the point where our orbit is furthest from the sun in summer ...

 

The failing of the 'gulf stream' which added heat to the British isles and our Oceanic facing Northern location is buffering us somewhat - but note that British sea temperatures have been 4-5 degrees above 'normal' ... and that isnt all to do with fermentation of the human sewage the water companies have been dumping.

 

Rapid dumping of vast amount of polar 'cold' into the Northern (our) latitudes will be a sign of tipping points being breached.

Seems likely to be worse than that HB as its being reported that Sunuck intends to not only juggle figures, but also claim prior claimed 'over' (sic lol) 'achievements ie in carbon offset trading (which has been demonstrated as false) - against current commitments.

I (shocking even given my opinion of these Cons) cant see anything apart from smoke and mirrors - absolutely nothing other than increases in greenhouse emissions and waste

I know others inc US-A are at least as bad - but this is Britain, who once led the way - some of which ways were good.

 

Lets not forget that HS2 (what there is of it) costs and delays were massively increased by Tories planning the route - then Tory MPs fudging and changing it to suit Tory doners and golf clubs

Nimbyism writ large

Thanks to the nimby lobbying of Tory MPs in the Cotswolds and elsewhere on the route between London and Birmingham, the first leg of HS2 spends most of its time in cuttings and going through tunnels.  So much so that it is estimated that out of a 48-minute journey, passengers will only have 7 minutes with a view. 

Not only is this a shame for passengers but it is a very major part of the cost overrun – cuttings and, in particular, tunnels are very expensive.

and here it is:

a quote: First, in the allocation of humanitarian spending in the 10% of the poorest countries, the UK will in future assume 30% was spent on internal climate finance, without making a precise calculation. (aka without checking)

Simile: The UK will now assume all the vast tax relief given to oil companies will be spent on green investment rather than more oil drilling without bothering to check, and claim those sums as such to boost our green credentials even though we have no reason to believe they will be. .. but no evidence they aren't as we wont look.

The public also needs to know how much they received in tax rebates alleviating the 'windfall tax' on their profiteering excess profits .. those rebates apparently based on little if anything more than a few creative accounting practices by the energy giants

Expecting any improvements in water quality, or reduction in sewage dumping?

Why when the Tories can just report something different - or nothing relevant at all?

"In 2019, the last time the full water assessments took place, just 14% of rivers were in good ecological health and none met standards for good chemical health. The government has said it does not intend to deliver a complete update until 2025, the latest permissible date under the new WFD."

and the crucial part:

 

"13 years of North Sea licensing under the Tories has led to the discovery of very small amounts of gas, the equivalent of just nine weeks’ worth of typical usage across the country."

"These 12 new fields contain just nine weeks of gas, but only half have begun producing. To date, just 16 days worth of gas has been produced from them since 2010. And half of this has been produced by the Sillimanite gas field, which is 30%-owned by Russian gas giant Gazprom, and has been exported to the Netherlands."

Just in case there are any with doubts:

More extreme weather events like extreme storms, ectreme flash rainfall, extreme winds, and real world possibilities/probabilities of a foot of sea level increase by 2050  - while sunak reduces renewable investment and increases oil drilling tax funded licenses.

"The Earth’s climate is more sensitive to human-caused changes than scientists have realized until now, meaning that a “dangerous” burst of heating will be unleashed that will push the world to be 1.5C hotter than it was, on average, in pre-industrial times within the 2020s and 2C hotter by 2050, the paper published on Thursday predicts.

This alarming speed-up of global heating, which would mean the world breaches the internationally agreed 1.5C threshold set out in the Paris climate agreement far sooner than expected, risks a world “less tolerable to humanity, with greater climate extremes”, according to the study led by Hansen, the former Nasa scientist who issued a foundational warning about climate change to the US Congress back in the 1980s."

Of course, we already have breached 1.5 degrees repeatedly, and the Northern hemisphere land masses by a large margin, as already detailed here, its just the yearly average that hasn't quite breached it yet.

If the shallow sea around the UK had been included (4-5 degrees above normal over a significant period) ..

- its only the deep seas thats kept the average below 2 degrees of heating let alone 1.5 - but that storage cooler is heating up at an accelerating rate.

Worth noting that:

 

A previous 'hottest UK temperature' was in August 1911

Forget the heatwaves of the 50's and 70's, This wasn't broken until August 1990

We know that the new hottest ever recorded (day and night) Uk temps were set just a short while ago (2022)

 

 

I predict that this latest hottest UK day record, extreme as it is, will be broken inside 3 years, even given that the gulf stream is slowing reducing the heat energy to the UK , and we will likely be more effected than most by dumping of cold polar air due to the accelerating breakdown of the 'polar barrier' - and not forgetting that more energy in the UK system generally means more clouds and wind - generally averaging day and night temps ...

(I actually doubt the record will last to this time next year - and it may even get 'tested again this year)

 

 

(and no, the updated stats on the projected current solar cycle duration and energy output aren't available yet - and what is available is very mixed - its still 'officially projected to be another extremely low output solar cycle)
