    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?
    • Anotheruser0000 bear in mind that not all Judges are equally versed in the PoFA regulations. Fortunately now most of them are but sometimes a Judge from a higher Court sits in who is well experienced  in Law but not PoFA. and so they sometimes go "offkey" because their knowledge can raise a different set of arguments and solutions. It does seem particularly unfair  when the decision is so  bad . it can also be that in some situations the motorist being a lay person is not sufficiently know ledgeable to be able to counter a Judge's decisions in a way that a barrister could.
    • The argument about the date of receipt is now dead because the PCN  does not comply with the wording  of the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4.  First reason Section 9 [2] [e]  "state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges;" Second Reason Section 9 [2][a] "specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates;" All your PCN does is mark the time you entered and left the car park. It does not include all the myriad things you do in between-driving into the car park, looking for a parking space-perhaps a disabled space or  parent and Child place@ getting the children or disabled person out of the car then going shopping. Coming back; loading the car with shopping [, getting the children or disabled into the car, taking the trolley back to the store; driving to the exit perhaps stopping to let vehicles/pedestrians cross in front of you etc. so subtracting the driving times from before and after parking can make quite a difference from their time to the actual period parking time. So the upshot is now that only the driver is responsible for paying the PCN and the keeper is not liable at all even if the name of the driver is never known by Nexus so well done for not appealing. You obviously want to keep it that way to make it very difficult for them to win in Court if it ever goes that far. Although your question is now moot since  the same objective has been achieved by the non compliant PCN [ie no keeper liability] just  about the only way to dispute the timing of the PCN would be if one kept the envelope and there was a discernible date stamp on it that did not match the date on the PCN. There is a new Act coming out [and it cannot come quickly enough ] and one of the things required is that parking companies will have to prove the date of sending out their PCNs. We are not the only ones who sometimes doubt the veracity of their dates particularly as the later it is sent [unlawfully] the shorter the period motorists have to benefit [?] from the reduced payment. I haven't seen it on your posts but do you know how long you are permitted to park for free?
    • I was so annoyed and frustrated about the fact this case was lost it's been floating around my head all night. Dave962, are you sure that's what the Judge said? .... It doesn't make sense. Did the judge in fact dismiss the case on the grounds that the defendant did not make an appeal within 28 days? Effectively telling the PPC about the error entering the registration number and providing proof of payment at that time? To me, that's an important point.

    • 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 was given a single justice Procedure for using a travel mandate issued by another person.

I have pleaded guilty and paid the fine.

However it was only later that I realised tfl had never advised me about an out of court settlement.

 

I have read others in my situation settled it out of court.

Was it wrong for tfl for not telling that i could have settled it out of court.

 

I would like to become a children’s nurse however a criminal conviction of this sort may hinder may chances.

Can i still reclaim back the fine i paid and opt for the out of court settlement instead.

 

I feel as if it is not fair at all that tfl have treated me this way it is my rights to know all the outlining options i have and avoid a criminal conviction.

there is no remit that they have to tell you of OOC no.

so there is little you can now do.

 

but if you read the letters that came at the start, they do say that you can try and settle before it goes to court.

so how did you respond to the first letter that asked for your side of the incident...that's the important one, and how important you reply is..

When i was first given the letter to appeal I explained to IAP that i did not have my purse with me as I accidentally left it in my locker At work and so did not have any money to pay for a bus fare.

 

As i was in a rush to get to work i took my brothers oyster 11-15yrs which was very stupid of me i know. I sincerely apologised to them and told them i would never do it again. Later I received a single justice procedure notice saying i can either plead guilty or not guilty and turn up in person or not turn up in person.

 

However the bus ticket inspectors stated that i had said I accidentally took my brothers oyster instead of my own ( i did not say this however i have realised now that would have been better to say in my appeal). I did not receive a letter saying this can be settled out of court?? 

 

I pleaded guilty online through the link they mentioned online. There was also a part online where i had to explain my side again but I stupidly left this blank and submitted it.

 

Is it worth getting my case reopened so i can try avoiding a criminal conviction and be able to study at uni for child nursing. I only recently turned 19 and on a gap year. Its really unfair that ive been given a criminal conviction even though this is my first time using someone elses oyster and i am still so young but now this has ruined my future.

Did you not offer to pay in your 1st appeal?

you could have borrowed money to pay the fare.

as you explain it, you purposefully took the card, knowing it was illegal for you to use it.

Hi.

 

Could you try to post in paragraphs please? I've sorted your posts so that the people who are trying to help find them easier to read, but it would help if you would help us.

 

I'm afraid I agree with dx about it being too late. I've never seen a case reopened.

i honestly did not know it was illegal for me to use it which i know sounds stupid right now. The most i thought would happen is paying a penalty charge of £40. Not a whole criminal conviction.
 

I couldnt burrow money as there was no one at home to ask. I took my brothers oyster without him knowing.  
 
i also didnt think about mentioning to pay in my first appeal. I was very panicked by the whole situation and didnt have anyone to help me and didnt know who to go to for help. Getting a solicitor is way too expensive. 
 

is there anything i can do right now to amend my mistake and get rid of the criminal conviction. Or have my chances of becoming a child nurse gone down the drain :(

 

under section 142 of the magistrates court act it mentions i can reopen a case if i missed a stage which was part of the proceedings. Could me not explaining my situation again in the online link be part of that?

I was caught on the 21st november.

But i received the letter to pay the fine of £225.50 on February the 18th.

 

I paid the amount immediately as i did not want to think about the situation anymore and thought if i paid the fine i wont have a criminal record.

so why did you not think to search the internet and come here before?
it puzzles me why you've only just done this, and not before.....or indeed any internet based advice..?

A lot of the internet based advice i searched did not have the same situation as me or reason. I also did not realise how this would have impacted my ucas application as my course requires an enhanced dbs check. Honestly ive never heard of this website before i only just stumbled across it. 
 

Had i known about all of this before my outcome would have been very different and not so rash and i shoot myself in the foot for that. 
 

however from doing further research i have found out on NMCs (regulator for nursing & midwifery professions in the uk) guidelines that they do not investigate convictions that were an only offence and do not involve members of public or violence etc. I have also emailed the university i would like to study at and told them about this situation and whether they will still accept me. Just awaiting response🙃
