    • is the side street solely for access to your garages? who owns the land and thus the road? dx  
    • A local business has been parking on an off-street parking space in front of my garages (in a side street).  I wasn't using them for a while so didnt bother to do anything.  But now a second local business is also using the osp - taking it in turns with the 1st biz.  This has started to nark me.    The employees choose to drive to work.  There is no private parking in their business's street.  But there are some underground secure garages in their street - which cost apx £2.4k/y to rent - which works out apx £6.60/d. (I believe one of the biz owners already rent one for storage purposes).  If the employee had to park on a meter it would cost them £6.60/h - £66 for 10h and have to move every 4h.  They just don't want to pay for parking. I haven't confronted either of them.  Instead I just put 2 clear "no parking" signs in front of the garages. And a note on one of the cars specifically saying that as they don't live or rent in the street and it's private land could they stop parking.   They ignored that.  And just put notes on their dash with a # to call if one needs the car moved.  There is a sign and they've been told in writing to stop parking. And they are just ignoring it.    I don't what a confrontation.    I don't want to go to the expense of bollards (other than maybe traffic plastic ones - but they'll probs just move them).  Council won't do zilch cos it's private land. And police won't get involved - unless I clamp/ tow the cars and then they'd be after me, not the drivers!    What's the best thing to do?
    • yes might be the best idea. you'd only at best get 8% flat interest and that unusual on a GOGW if this was what it was. simply contact the FOS and let them know its resolved. dx  
    • If you’ve ever wondered how you might fare in armed combat, the first 20 minutes of Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan is likely to make you thank your lucky stars you were born too late to storm the Normandy beaches on June 6 1944. I suspect many of us might be driven to identify with those men who were absolutely turned to stone by fear. And yet these young men, mainly conscripts, screwed their courage to the sticking point and did the job the fate had chosen for them, heroes all.   .. UK PM Sunak perhaps thinks he understands mind numbing fear better than many as he dishonorably fled the beachhead to do nothing more than double down on dishonest spin and lies from the safety of a UK studio .. The Normandy heroes who not only held their positions, but advanced through hell to a victory that changed the entire course of history .. undoubtedly hold a different perspective.     from a perspective in TheConversation     ..

    • Yes, send a message to the purchaser but keep it very friendly and simply that you noticed that the package has now been delivered.  I suggest that you ask them if they want to keep the package still or if they would rather return it and that if they want to keep it then please will they return your payment to you to your PayPal address. Keep it as polite and friendly as possible and then we will decide what to do if he doesn't reply or refuses.  Meanwhile I will have a look at Google earth and see if you are able to spot the gas meter outside the house to get an idea if the delivery is real.

    • 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.

My partner parked at a NPS (northern Parking Services) car park a few weeks back and the machine was not working.

She could not pay for her parking.

Today we got a ticket in the post.

They have camera's there and must have automatically sent a ticket out.

 

What are my options?

Do I have to pay it?

we need to be able to see the images of your vehicle (no reg though) to determine how they took the pictures. We also need to be able to see the times on the NTK they claim your vehicle was there and also be able to read all of their text as they have to use key phrases to make it a lawful demand.

She was there for 2hrs.

 

Yeah they do look like pictures taken from in front of the car and not ANPR.

 

Not sure where the ANPR came in from.

 

No reference to it on the ticket so could have been added in by a moderator?

 

What should I do?

So what should I do next? Its a lease so I don't want the lease company paying them and billing me. Although they have my contact details so they should keep this communication between us only now?

the lease company cannot pay it for him

their T&C's don't state private invoices

only fines from councils/police etc.

 

but be careful as we've seen them confuse these with real fines before!!

 

how is the lease paid?

I honestly can't find a similar one.

 

Can you direct me to a sticky that gives the details like why I should not respond and what my rights are?

 

Thank you so much for your help mate my wife thinks we should just pay it and be done with it rather than face court.

 

I was thinking of just replying to them to advise them that the car park machine was not working.

theres no sticky.

 

just read a few threads in this forum and you'll soon get the idea

 

not sure where court comes into this either.

 

they've responded by sending out the NTK within 14 days as if its an ANPR capture... it is NOT

so they've already broken the rules they should abide by.

 

tell your mates wifes to poke her nose out or learn that these things are not fines but a mere piece of paper that alleges you broken some magical contract by parking there...

 

[you have taken pictures of the signs that specifically state that if our machine falis to work you will be charged £100?...]

 

they'll know full well the machine was not working but they couldn't care less...

parking co's sometimes abuse the law by trying it on with the lease co if the driver doesnt pay up, even though theynahve no legal reason to do so as they know the lease co wont spend a couple of days staff time fighting this (shame, they ciould absolutely spank the parking co in court for all of their costs) so often pay up when harassed and just add it to your bill.

 

You should let the leas co that you are dealing with this and they should not entertain any thoughts of interfering with the proper process.

 

As for the parking co, depending on how you wnat to deal with this it wont harm you to state that yes, you are responsible for this but as they havent shown a cause for action regarding their demands you wont be paying and you will be fighting them all the way and should they try their luck with the lease co you will take over the claim anyways so that wont get them anywhere

I did this and they replied with further pics that showed the time stamp on them.

Also they agree that the meter was not working and state that this doesn't mean that I could park there for free and should have paid via the app.

 

I had ignored that

 

yesterday got a letter that stated that unless I paid the £100 they would start court proceedings.

 

What should I do now?

unless or until you get a 'letter of/before claim ' from one of their fake/tame paperonly solicitors

you are safe to ignore everything else.
