    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (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; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

"Henry Staunton had only been in post since 2022. But when he was sacked he says Kemi Badenoch told him: ‘Someone’s got to take the rap’" also:

"

• He was instructed by a senior civil servant to stall on compensation payments to Horizon victims so the government could “limp into the election” with the lowest possible financial liability.
• The government body that manages taxpayers’ ownership of the Post Office told its chief executive to write to the lord chancellor stating the reason so few sub-postmasters had come forward to have their convictions overturned was because they were “guilty as charged”."

 

Wonder if @theoldrouge will condemn badenough for collusion in these monstrous acts, and ongoing prosecutions and persecutions?

He certainly seems to have trouble condemning Trump and tayler Greene (among many others) and the MAGA caucus' racism and blatant antisemitism

 

Does seem to be indicative of clear conspiracy on the governments part eh?

The quality and experience of many recent Government ministers has been below par in recent years.

On the Tory backbenches there are much more able and experienced people who could perform Ministerial roles, but they are probably not seen as part of any grouping in the party who must be represented within Government.

The problem with the Tories is that they have become a party of different factions and they are involved in campaigning for their particular brand of Conservatism, rather than concentrate on practical policies that may be capable of working to improve the quality of life in the UK.

Sunak is in real trouble economically, because he cannot justify reducing taxes, when public services are struggling and national debt is increasing. Tory MP's may want tax cuts in the belief it may stop them losing their seats, but this may be impossible to achieve, unless the Government look to cut taxes for workers and cover this by adding tax burdens to those with wealth. But that would be a very un Conservative thing to do, as they believe in wealth creation as the main pillar of what they stand for.

We could do with some help from you.

Worse than not justifying tax cuts (apart from allowing the richest to get away with tax evasion) - services/council funding will need to be cut even further under tory fiscal mismanagement

NONE of which excuses what more and more seems to be clear guv directional instruction in the PO scandal events - as long suspected - but that moral mismanagement now becoming clear.

Does not surprise me, if there was an instruction to delay compensation to the sub Postmasters.

Of course there will be denial, because I doubt the delaying tactics were ever written or recorded.

I think the blacked out (redacted) attendees at the PO meetings along with the blacked out minutes from those meetings might beg to differ on that and a number of obnoxious plans, decisions and directions

For balance, Badenoch says the ex-chairman of POL lied about being sacked as 'someone needed to take the rap'. It still seems that Sky News knew about it before Staunton did though.

I'm still wondering why you keep the CEO who does the hands-on day job and sack the figurehead...

looks like she seems not to have misplaced the details or call log ... yet ..

Minister suggests Kemi Badenoch should publish evidence to confirm her claim about ex-Post Office chair lying about call

Good morning. Yesterday Kemi Badenoch, the business and trade secretary, accused the former Post Office chair, Henry Staunton, of giving an interview “full of lies” about the conversation they had when she sacked him recently. Josh Halliday has the story here, and here is one of the tweets from a thread that Badenoch posted on Twitter.

 

My call with Staunton was with officials. They took a complete record. He has given an interview full of lies about our conversation during his dismissal. The details will emerge soon enough as I won’t let the matter rest here, but will be discussing with govt lawyers. (3/5

i do keep doing regular searches trying to find out whats happening with Vennells and what the heck her services to charity were ..

"However, it has now emerged that Ms Vennells held four roles within the Church of England after the Post Office scandal broke – including to provide (church) officials with ethical investment advice."

 

Thats all I can find apart from her being paid 60K by charities for sitting on some charity boards - and God knows what she did on those given whats coming to light re PO

ooopsy doopsy badenough

 

 

 

WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM

A BBC report revealed David Cameron’s government knew the Post Office ditched Horizon IT investigation

 

"Staunton has hit back, with a lengthy statement in which he says had not even been told about the bullying allegation against him that Badenoch implied, in her statement to MPs, was a major reason for his dimissal. A spokesperson for Staunton said:

This is the first time the existence of such allegations have been mentioned and Mr Staunton is not aware of any aspect of his conduct which could give rise to such allegations.

They were certainly not raised by the Secretary of State at any stage and certainly not during the conversation which led to Mr Staunton’s dismissal. Such behaviour would in any case be totally out of character."

Same Guardian feed:

"The BBC has published the results of an investigation showing that “David Cameron’s government knew the Post Office had ditched a secret investigation that might have helped wrongly accused postmasters prove their innocence”. In its story the BBC quotes Paul Marshall, a barrister who acted on behalf of some of the post office operators, saying:

The important feature of all of this is that in 2014, it appears that the Post Office board was alive to the true position - that remote access by Fujitsu was possible.

And yet the Post Office board was responsible for maintaining and advancing the Post Office’s defence to the sub-postmasters’ claim in 2019 - that it was impossible. That was false - and, it would appear, known to be so …

On the face of it, it discloses a conspiracy by the Post Office to pervert the course of justice."
