    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (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 fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address

    • 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 all,

 

Thank you for the fast response, 

 

This is why I just put no change every year I was advised to do that in 2016 and it works, I usually have an assessment every couple of years, but I had Charity MIND help me do the paperwork this year as I have been referred by adult mental health team, so now I'm not sure what I will have to do, thank you for letting me no about the money not stopping before the assessment as I can relax abit now, I havnt been given an assessment date as of yet, so DX could be right it may get extended for another year, I don't think I will get any better by then I seem to get worse each year 

 

 

Sorry forgot to mention both dla and uc backdated, I put a note in the journal, thank you

Back on here again guys, sorry to trouble you, its problem after problem here 😅 

 

So now I'm living on my own with disabilities and 2 children 1 with a heart condition as discussed. 

 

We were unable to find advice, and could not get on here in time, cab wouldn't answer the phone.

 

My partner is still around but has had to find temporary accommodation via our local council, reason for this is she's done something silly at home and on her bail conditions until august she's not allowed to return home, the council told us we could not keep our joint claim as she would need to claim housing benefits to support her temporary accommodation.

 

Now she has a single universal credit account and I have my own uc account with two children, I've added our disability, rent etc so I think I have set it up properly.

 

They said I will still receive money on the 7th so hopefully that will go through OK, 

 

My partner gets carers allowance, will this need to stop if she's away temporary? I.E three months plus.

 

Secondly if that is the case. It must stop! Would I be able to get SDP back? I wasn't sure as the children will live with me..

 

Also to update my daughter has her heart surgery on the 8th of June :(

 

Thank you

 

Sorry would let me edit again.

 

Just forgot to mention, wanted to add SDP as I won't manage and would have to hire a carer, I also need to find child care for my one year old as I won't manage full time on my own.

 

Thank you

So yes Carers Allowance needs to be informed first, so they can cancel this.  Then ask about reinstatement of SDP.   I think amount related to SDP is only allowed on initial transfer to UC. If it is removed, it cannot be reinstated, but it is worth asking.

SDP has to be in payment the month before a natural migration I think it is, so highly unlikely you will get it, as it doesn't exist under UC, unless applied on migration.

Technically, your partner can still claim CA as long as they are still offering care for you. They do not need to live with you. If she ends the CA claim, unless she already has LCWRA, she will then be expected to look for work.

So I think I've found out what to do, I could be wrong that's why I need you guys!

 

So cancel my partners carers allowance for myself.

Then open a carers allowance claim for my daughter(middle rate dla) and I will be named carer? I think SDP should be out of question as this will probably be temporary.

 

Question is, am I able to be my daughters carer? I claim esa (old style) and pip.

 

I know it would be less money, but it's something and probably less complicated to claim? 

 

Just to clarify we claim

Esa and pip (myself)

Child benefit(would this need to change to my name?)

Uc

Child element

Housing

Disabled child

Disabled adult

DLA(CHILD) middle rate.
