    • Well we can't predict what the judge will believe. PE will say that they responded in the deadline and you will say they don't. Nobody can tell what a random DJ will decide. However if you go for an OOC settlement you should still be able to get some money
    • What do you guys think the chances are for her?   She followed the law, they didnt, then they engage in deception, would the judge take kindly to being lied to by these clowns? If we have a case then we should proceed and not allow these blatant dishonest cheaters to succeed 
    • I have looked at the car park and it is quite clearly marked that it is  pay to park  and advising that there are cameras installed so kind of difficult to dispute that. On the other hand it doesn't appear to state at the entrance what the charge is for breaching their rules. However they do have a load of writing in the two notices under the entrance sign which it would help if you could photograph legible copies of them. Also legible photos of the signs inside the car park as well as legible photos of the payment signs. I say legible because the wording of their signs is very important as to whether they have formed a contract with motorists. For example the entrance sign itself doe not offer a contract because it states the T&Cs are inside the car park. But the the two signs below may change that situation which is why we would like to see them. I have looked at their Notice to Keeper which is pretty close to what it should say apart from one item. Under the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 Section 9 [2]a] the PCN should specify the period of parking. It doesn't. It does show the ANPR times but that includes driving from the entrance to the parking spot and then from the parking place to the exit. I know that this is a small car park but the Act is quite clear that the parking period must be specified. That failure means that the keeper is no longer responsible for the charge, only the driver is now liable to pay. Should this ever go to Court , Judges do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person so ECP will have their work cut out deciding who was driving. As long as they do not know, it will be difficult for them to win in Court which is one reason why we advise not to appeal since the appeal can lead to them finding out at times that the driver  and the keeper were the same person. You will get loads of threats from ECP and their sixth rate debt collectors and solicitors. They will also keep quoting ever higher amounts owed. Do not worry, the maximum. they can charge is the amount on the sign. Anything over that is unlawful. You can safely ignore the drivel from the Drips but come back to us should you receive a Letter of Claim. That will be the Snotty letter time.

    • 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.

Arhhhhh this is my domain as a Telco Engineer... 

 

FTTP is a very rare product at the moment. FTTC is an interim product in its current capacity until the UK is full Fibre and is actually to the PCP (Cabinet) more than likely at the end of your street. 

Fibre connectivity on FTTC is either 40/10 or 80/20 

 

You are paying for FTTC which is the correct prices. Sound like you have a fault.

If you have a landline, dial 17070 and get your Telephone number and press Op 2 for a QLT (Quiet Line Test) Do you hear Crackling etc?

FTTC is to the Cab only. Fibre to the Exchange doesnt work ^_^

You cant get 35 MBPS on a ADSL2+ its limited to 24 MBPS per Sec Down and 1.3 MBPS Per second up. The speed estimate would be correct for FTTC. Fibre is served to Every Exchange :) - Thats how they move traffic along their networks. 

 

Also Plusnet wouldn't be able to provision or bill Fibre if they were on ADSL.

You have a Microfilter - Do you have a spare you can swap it out with? 

Also consider testing plugged directly into the router. Google Speedtest. 

 

Also remember that speeds drop at Peak Times like now - This is because more people use the Network. 

 

If you cant figure it out... Speak to Plusnet and ask them to run some line tests. PSTN and TAM Testing. That way the can detect for a variety of things. 

 

HR Joints, Dis in Networks, Battery Con Faults, Crossed Lines, Voltage Impurities... 

 

:) Dont worry - you dont need to understand all of the above... Plusnet should do though... And site of the above means BT. 

But be warned, if BT come out and find its your kit then you risk £160 + VAT as a charge if its an SFI Engineer (Broadband - Youre reporting slow speeds)

 

Examples of Sockets and Filters below;

 

This is a filtered faceplate... No need for a Microfilter :) Plusnet router will connect to the left socket... The rest you get the idea...

Filter with faceplate is below

Don't cancel then... Get a replacement router and raise a formal complaint accordingly 😉

If you cancel, you'll be without broadband and potentially need to pay £99 for a new install / line restart 😩😩

 

You can transfer your service under OFCOMs rules.

Actually BazzaS i disagree... Plusnet and TTBs network are known to be of lower quality compared to Sky and BTs HDW. 

 

Some will beable to provide a better throughput than others. 

DR Fox... What's the mobile connectivity like where you are?

In a variety of exchanges, Sky and other ISPs have a range of equipment in the exchange that they use to provide their networks. Not all equipment is OR maintained. Plusnet and TTBs equipment is more likely to provide slower speeds etc 

 

Unless this issue is OR here... ADSL is being phased out and might not be appropriate 

 

I think the OP should consider 4G alternatives

 

Vodafone and H3G might be an idea... I get 60 on H3G down and 80 when I tested on Voda... 

 

They now offer UNL packages...

Vodafone are good as they now only specialise in FTTC and FTTP 😂

 

Look at Vodafones Gigacube too... 4G Edition... 😊

 

Finally... Vodafone bought Cable & Wireless and their equipment located in Openreach's exchanges... 

It's much better and had lots more investment than Plusnets

What dates are against these? 

They reprovisioned the circuit for Broadband for some reason

Unless this was an ADSL to FTTC upgrade

  • 3 weeks later...

BBEU is the OR Circuit ref - This is your session history logs.

Looks relatively sound to me - Looks stable but occasional drop outs... 

It basically when the session ended for your Broadband... 

OR = Openreach
