    • Ok you are in the clear. The PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 for two reasons. The first is that in Section 9 [2][e]  says the PCN must "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 ". It does not say that even though it continues correctly with blurb about the driver. The other fault is that there is no parking period mentioned. Their ANPR cameras do show your arrival and departure times but as that at the very least includes driving from the entrance to the parking space then later leaving the parking space and driving to the exit. It also doesn't allow for finding a parking spot: manoeuvering into it avoiding parking on the lines: possibly having to stop to allow pedestrians/other cars to pass in front of you; returning the trolley after finishing shopping; loading children disabled people in and out of the car, etc etc.  All of that could easily add five, ten or even 15 minutes to your time which the ANPR cameras cannot take into account. So even if it was only two hours free time you could  still have been within the  time since there is a MINIMUM of 15 minutes Grace period when you leave the car park. However as they cannot even manage to get their PCN to comply with the Act you as keeper cannot be pursued. Only the driver is now liable and they do not know who was driving as you have not appealed and perhaps unwittingly given away who was driving. So you do not owe them a penny. No need to appeal. Let them waste their money pursuing you . 
    • If Labour are elected I hope they go after everyone who made huge amounts of money out of this, by loading the company with debt. The sad thing is that some pension schemes, including the universities one, USS, will lose money along with customers.
    • What's the reason for not wanting a smart meter? Personally I'm saving a pile on a tariff only available with one. Today electricity is 17.17p/kWh. If the meter is truly past its certification date the supplier is obliged to replace it. If you refuse to allow this then eventually they'll get warrant and do so by force. Certified life varies between models and generations, some only 10 or 15 years, some older types as long as 40 years or maybe even more. Your meter should have its certified start date marked somewhere so if you doubt the supplier you can look up the certified life and cross check.
    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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 received a letter in the post today, Sept 15th from a company called Connex. The letter says; "We have been asked to locate an individual and we think you may have some information that could assist us".

The letter is addressed to me (name and address). Can't find any info on Google about the company which is strange. I noticed in the top right hand corner of the letter it says ###/G/global/date/time. I don't have any debts. It says to contact them either by phone or email. Should I reply to them?

Thanks for the advice, but out of curiosity I think I will email them. 

If they reply to my email with my correct name and address, what should I do? I haven't had any debt, loans, credit cards or finance since my bankruptcy in over 10 years ago, from which I was released from a year later,  so if there is any debt anywhere it must be passed its sell by date surely? My worry is that this could be a scam and make up some debt that doesn't exist. 

Hope you can advise.

Ignore.

 

If you had a debt you owed, which was still enforceable they would send you the information including name of the original company you owed money to, plus the amount owed.

 

Once you have the name of the original company a debt is allegedly owed to, you contact the original company asking for details.

 

Don't respond to a general chaser letter from a debt collection agency.

We could do with some help from you.

Well it all goes back to that letter from Connex (GDR) I got the other day. I'm trying to figure out what on earth the debt could be, as since my bankruptcy in 2011 I haven't had any credit, loans, finance etc, my credit score is good and clear, no arrears and I pay everything upfront.

 

So any debt they are chasing me for has either been wiped by my bankruptcy or is statute barred. The only debt that I know of (which applies to me) which isn't covered by bankruptcy is TV License debt and that's why I wondered if it fell under the statute barred umbrella. 

 

I didn't get a bill or any letters demanding money back in 2011 from TV License. The property had been rented out and the tenant had left without me knowing, so for 5 months the house was empty with no tv license registered to the property and I didn't notify TV Licensing about this.

So have you ever been taken to Magistrates Court by TV licencing ?

 

What happens in regard to an address without a TV licence, is that TV licencing keep writing to the address warning about the address not being covered by a licence.  Eventualy a local licence enforcement officer visits the address to check to see if anyone at the address is watching live TV.  If someone is caught doing so,  they are then subject to Magistrates Court hearing where they would be fined.

 

Please stop worrying about what it might be.  It could relate to a debt that is still showing  by mistake, even though covered by bankruptcy.   Or it might not be a debt that relates to you at all.

If the house was empty for 5 months presumably no-one was watching TV there. An empty house does not need a TV licence if the TV set is not in use. And you don't have a legal obligation to advise TVL that a house is empty.

 

So apart from the other points already mentioned about TVL you weren't committing a TV licence offence anyway!
