    • Yup, for goodness sake she needs to stop paying right now, DCA's are powerless, as .  Is it showing on their credit file? Best to use Check my file. All of the above advice is excellent, definitely SAR the loan company as soon as possible.
    • Hi all, I am wandering if this is appealable. It has already been through a challenge on the Islington website and the it was rejected. Basically there was a suspended bay sign on a post on Gee st which was obscured by a Pizza van. The suspension was for 3 bays outside 47 Gee st. I parked outside/between 47 & 55 Gee st. I paid via the phone system using a sign a few meters away from my car. When I got back to the car there was a PCN stuck to the windscreen which I had to dry out before I could read it due to rain getting into the plastic sticky holder.  I then appealed using the Islington website which was then rejected the next day. I have attached a pdf of images that I took and also which the parking officer took. There are two spaces in front of the van, one of which had a generator on it the other was a disabled space. I would count those as 3 bays? In the first image circled in red is the parking sign I read. In the 2nd image is the suspension notice obscured by the van. I would have had to stand in the middle of the road to read this, in fact that's where I was standing when I took the photo. I have pasted the appeal and rejection below. Many thanks for looking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my appeal statement: As you can see from the image attached (image 1) I actually paid £18.50 to park my car in Gee st. I parked the car at what I thought was outside 55 Gee st as seen in image 2 attached. When I read the PCN issued it stated there was a parking suspension. There was no suspension notice on the sign that I used to call the payment service outside number 55 Gee st. I looked for a suspension notice and eventually found one which was obscured by a large van and generator parked outside 47 Gee st. As seen in images 3 and 4 attached. I am guessing the parking suspension was to allow the Van to park and sell Pizza during the Clerkenwell design week. I was not obstructing the use or parking of the van, in fact the van was obstructing the suspension notice which meant I could not read or see it without prior knowledge it was there. I would have had to stand in the road to see it endangering myself as I had to to take images to illustrate the hidden notice. As there was no intention to avoid a parking charge and the fact the sign was not easily visible I would hope this challenge can be accepted. Many thanks.   This is the text from the rejection: Thank you for contacting us about the above Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). The PCN was issued because the vehicle was parked in a suspended bay or space. I note from your correspondence that there was no suspension notice on the sign that you used to call the payment serve outside number 55 Gee Street. I acknowledge your comments, however, your vehicle was parked in a bay which had been suspended. The regulations require the suspension warning to be clearly visible. It is a large bright yellow sign and is erected by the parking bay on the nearest parking plate to the area that is to be suspended. Parking is then not permitted in the bay for any reason or period of time, however brief. The signs relating to this suspension were sited in accordance with the regulations. Upon reviewing the Civil Enforcement Officer's (CEO's) images and notes, I am satisfied that sufficient signage was in place and that it meets statutory requirements. Whilst I note that the signage may have been obstructed by a large van and generator at the time, please note, it is the responsibility of the motorist to locate and check the time plate each time they park. This will ensure that any changes to the status of the bay are noted. I acknowledge that your vehicle possessed a RingGo session at the time, however, this does not authorize parking within a suspended bay. Suspension restrictions are established to facilitate specific activities like filming or construction, therefore, we anticipate the vehicle owner to relocate the vehicle from the suspended area until the specified date and time when the suspension concludes. Leaving a vehicle unattended for any period of time within a suspended bay, effectively renders the vehicle parked in contravention and a Civil Enforcement Officer (CEO) may issue a PCN. Finally, the vehicle was left parked approximately 5 metres away from the closest time plate notice. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure they park in a suitable parking place and check all signs and road markings prior to leaving their vehicle parked in contravention. It remains the driver's responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is parked legally at all times. With that being said, I would have to inform you, your appeal has been rejected at this stage. Please see the below images as taken by the CEO whilst issuing the PCN: You should now choose one of the following options: Pay the penalty charge. We will accept the discounted amount of £65.00 in settlement of this matter, provided it is received by 10 June 2024. After that date, the full penalty charge of £130.00 will be payable. Or Wait for a Notice to Owner (NtO) to be issued to the registered keeper of the vehicle, who is legally responsible for paying the penalty charge. Any further correspondence received prior to the NtO being issued may not be responded to. The NtO gives the recipient the right to make formal representations against the penalty charge. If we reject those representations, there will be the right of appeal to the Environment and Traffic Adjudicator.   Gee st pdf.pdf
    • Well done.   Please let us know how it goes or come back with any questions. HB
    • Incorrect as the debt will have been legally assigned to the DCA and they are therefore now the legal creditor. Read up on debt assignment.   Andy

    • 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.

Hello

I know because of current situation things may take bit longer should I have had response now about my New Style JSA claim. ?

I started it 6 March. If I am entitled to it my next sign on would have been 27 March and I know these are now cancelled but as I had sign on a Friday does payment still fall on a Wednsday like the old system?

I have had no letter since 9 March and not informed if entitled to it I know patient now because of backlogs and the present situation but was not sure how long takes on average to process I assume two weeks as in a normal situaiton

Thanks

Many organisations still working including DWP, are receiving record numbers of applications and enquiries, but with much fewer staff. 

 

I would strongly advise people not to add to the delays by chasing them. Let them have time to process the applications. 

 

No signing on will be necessary as DWP have suspended such appointments. The payments will be done automatically, but may be delayed.  And yes, I believe payment date should be same as before, as it is based on NI number.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

Sorry unclebulgaria67

 

All new to me

 

  • Signed on for this 6 March
  • Had interview 9 March
  • Letter sent 26 March got told entitled to it
  • Understand 7 Day wait
  • Does that mean I'd get first payment 3 April or 11 April would rest March be included minus 7 days
  • Then payment 11 April and 30 April respectively
  • My signon usually Fridays would have been 27 March

 

Thanks

Have you checked your Bank for first payment ?

 

If the 7 day wait applies ( think DWP have removed this since but maybe after you applied).

 

First payment 26th or 27th March and then every 2 weeks after that ?

We could do with some help from you.

Now this is sorted Turn2Us is saying 322 a month are they right?

 

Second question is in normal circumsances I would have signed on 27 March normally a Friday, so I assume next payment I would be expecting to receive 15 April as would be the 10th April and then the 29th is that right?

Turn2Us will have given you correct information.

 

As explained, you would have waited 3 weeks for first payment from application date, which includes 7 days wait.  Then it should be every fortnight after that.

 

Best thing for you to do, because this is troubling you in not knowing how to budget, is to wait for the payment arrangement to settle down. You will become familiar with when DWP pay you.

 

It is a shame some DWP documents are not totally clear on payment dates.

  • 2 weeks later...

All correct Andrew from what you have said.

 

£156.65 is 15 days worth of benefit from 13/3/20 to 27/3/20 ( first 7 days from 6/3/20 are not paid)

 

£146.20 is for 14 days from 28/3/20 to  10/4/20

 

Benefit rates are increasing, so your next payment should be higher at £74.35 per week.  So your payment you receive on or around 29/4/20 should be £148.80.

 

The way they do it, is the end of your 2 week review period, should be on a Friday, if i am correct and therefore the very first payment you receive is adjusted to enable this.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Next payment at end of April should be increased as advised.  New style JSA claims only last for 6 months, so your claim will end in September.

Andrew.... I am glad it's not just me and my husband who are confused with all of this.

 

He got made redundant on 19th March and I worked part time in a pub so none of us are at work at the moment so we applied for universal credit as we have a daughter.

 

Someone on here advised that JSA (new style) might be an idea as its every fortnight even though it's deducted from the UC.

 

He claimed the JSA on 26th March. We had a text to say someone would ring within 2 weeks.

Nobody rang, no letter has come and we've heard nothing at all, which is understandable in the circumstances at the moment. 

 

However, this morning we have had a payment of just over £126 go into the bank from JSA so obviously it's been processed

 

but we have nothing from them to say what he needs to do with regard to job searching, signing on etc so we were baffled.

 

Glad we came across your post as it has helped a little with the confusion.

All the best and hope you get sorted.

Remember that DWP have received up to 10 times the number of claims, they would normally have received at this time of year.

 

The numbers are incredible.   1,400,000 new Universal Credit claims since middle of March 2020.

 

Also large numbers of new New Style JSA and ESA claims.

 

And DWP are managing this with less staff available, due to the current issues we face.

 

Coronavirus has caused DWP to relax many of the normal processes and they are prioritising, just making the payments that are due.  The payment you have received is not for a 2 week period and is just what is due, before the claim settles into a normal pattern of paying  the full amount for a 2 week period.  I believe the end of the usual two week assessment period is based on the letters at the front of the National Insurance number.  This was designed to spread out the Job Centre appointments, but at the moment, no Job Centre appointments are required.

 

You will get a letter from DWP regarding the JSA, but they quite often arrive after the payment has been received.

We could do with some help from you.
