    • @Man in the middle I've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Thanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe concenquences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points?
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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.

Hi everyone, just one minor point. The charge was issued for parking in Heslington near the Uni run by Minster Baywatch and the car park he's talking about is on the opposite of the city and run by a different car park operator (ARDPark). Tower Court and Heslington are a good few miles apart.

 

Heslington Retail Park - York - YO10 5LA - where he got the charge and Tower Court Health Centre, Oakdale Rd, York YO30 4RZ.

 

So if you were exempted at Tower Court and got a charge at Heslington - they are totally unrelated.

Thanks for that latest update. I reckon they are hoping each person just pays up once they receive a notice from these guys.

So far no further letters though I expect one from their DCA soon...at least I have something to burn to keep warm...

Be careful,

you have assumed because this was at Tower Court you had an exemption (e.g. permission to park),

if you had no right to park at Heslington you may be on a sticky wicket and most of the advice on the thread null and void because the contributors thought this to be an operator (e.g. Minster Baywatch) admin error

when it does not appear you had permission to park in Heslington 

if this goes to Court and you had no rights to park there you could be facing a large bill.

It would be far better if these parking companies didnt zoom the reg and remove all proof of any other means of matching where the photos were taken

 

the op states they did not goto heslington that day

Have a look at the second uploaded NTK - on the RHS it gives the full address of the car park, which is a requirement of S4 PoFA 2012.

(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;

 

Unlikely an PPC would have images from a site when the vehicle was not there. MB are not that kind of company.

AS with DX , I was not anyway near Heslington. I never left the retail park that day. As mentioned I did pick up some lunch just up the road. Will find the google earth location but only stopped in that bay for around 20 mins to eat before returning back to the original location 

 

okay the other location is here - https://earth.google.com/web/@53.99169199,-1.10574453,13.07497029a,72.13282641d,35y,0.00000001h,44.99670352t,0r

It is the red brick roof building next to KFC, on the road in front of the building you can see FUEL\ EXIT marked on the road in white, I was parked in the bay there and stayed for 20 mins to eat food, then returned back to original location.

So nowhere near Heslington. As DX pointed out the photo of my reg does not actually show me in a bay

 

So no connection to universities or similar and these bays are not marked as such

Any idea what went on here?

 

Initially I thought Minster Baywatch's carp ANPR cameras had maybe misread the number plate, but it can't be a coincidence that both car parks are in York.

 

Maybe Minster Baywatch "manage" (ho! ho!) a part of the YO30 4RZ car park and due to stupidity have got it mixed up with another car park they've got their grubby fingers into in Heslington?

 

Anyway, the thing to do is to build up as much proof as possible that you were at YO30 4RZ that day and nowhere near Heslington.  If they ever send you a Letter Before Claim that is the moment to give them both barrels.

We could do with some help from you.

No need for recorded, just get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.

 

Do a search for "snotty letter" or even easier "Dear Will and John" (these being the owners of Gladstones), adapt one to suit your own circumstances, and post a draft up.

Dear Will & John., as the Private Parking world's best (not) Solicitors you should be aware, I know that you know a case isn't going anywhere on the facts as presented  or something suchlike, as an opener plenty on the forum to adapt, but don't tell them why YOU know their case is pants, let them guess.

Ok here goes for a first draft...

.

 

 Dear Will & John.

 

I must admit I was in awe of receiving a letter from your esteemed law firm thinking what have I done to deserve such an honour. Perhaps you have discovered a long lost relative has left me a fortune in a will and I could give up work to pursue my love of goat farming using the money to set up a small holding in the outer Hebrides producing fine cheese and goat hair sweaters. Alas no! In bold letters it stated Letter before action almost if one had to get ready for battle and my power ranger pyjamas will have to be on a boil wash first before I can even think about action.

Anyway I digress after further research I discovered this is in relation to some parking shenanigans of which I have no knowledge, so as the Private Parking world's best solicitors you should be aware, I know that you know a case isn't going anywhere on the facts as presented.

I may add that that not all is lost, as I used your letter to line the cat litter tray. Mr wiggles is most pleased with his firm and absorbent lining beaming happily away as he does his cat business before securing a warm spot in front of the fire as we sit down to watch cash in the attic.

Good luck with the soliciting business I hear it can be quite lucrative.

P.S – it is uncle Herbert who apparently left a fortune so if you do come across him please let me know…
