    • Morning all, a while since I've been here....I contacted my bank regarding the matter and they took the decision to take "charge back" action against QVC, I initially got the money back and then letters from QVC basically stating I had defaulted on my payments and owed them the money Nationwide had claimed back, just as BF speculated they would. In short I repaid QVC to avoid having debt collectors after me, and having contacted CAB am now in the process of writing to Evri outlining my claim. CAB provided me with a basic template for the letter so I'll see how that goes. Regards.
    • Well you could say that you have pictures where the signs were not on the wall where you parked so would require strict proof of when they were erected . But in any case it was dark so even if a sign was there you didn't see as it was not illuminated. Little point in not having signs that can be seen at night though it obviously makes it easier to issue PCNs and pursue motorists claiming they have breached non contractual contracts whilst breaching those same motorist's GDPR.
    • It fizzled out, they kept delaying the complaints process. In the end I believe they stopped charging me for a bunch of services, unsure if it was deliberate or a mistake so I stopped bringing it up. Ultimately we bought a house and moved out.
    • There are so many factors, and local elections are often far more about local issues and people, but the one previously general rule in a general election are that the hard core Tories vote Tory and hard core Labour voters vote labour   Gaza seems to have dulled both the muslim and Jewish labour votes more than the Tories - and I can see why - but do the muslim voters really think that the Tories will do ANYTHING other than talk and then do whatever the Americans say - and thats support Israel whatever they do first and foremost in real terms? Reform has unquestionably affected the Tory local vote - so should affect the GE vote a bit more, but has largely been factored in - reform isnt new in any way - its all Brexitish although there seem to be far more ex 'conservative' core reform/ukip/brexitish voters than ex 'labour' core voters - about 6-8% of the national vote in a GE seems to me. A little up on prior brexitish/faragits scores But the large swathes of center ground voters who decide who wins the election seem to have utterly deserted the Tories in their millions - although they have gone to labour, libdems and greens - and many real conservatives are in limbo despite Sunak being naturally more a thatcherite than most - his party currently seems far less so. Johnson promised much, and many were taken in, just as people (inc me) made that mistake with Farage in the early days - but we now know that they are self serving liars who can't be trusted with anything - although I still think it likely The Liar will be back - but most likely after the GE (60/40) Starmer is lacking in charisma and presence, but others in his cabinet should shine. But Corbynistas could still cause trouble - another group that seem happy to drag everything down if they think it suites   Johnson perhaps could reunite some of the Tory party - but he seems to have numerous criminal and political convistions sitting in the background should he try Lying about giving preference to dogs in the Afghan evacuations - and lying about it Unlawfully proroguing parliament embezzlement re funds and spending (eg flat referb) .. repeatedly Taking jobs before he should after being booted - should lose his PM pension and rights over that IMO the list goes on ad nauseam
    • Hi I am negotiating with my ex (commercial) landlord's solicitor for a debt I owe for rent. This has been going on for a little while and I expect they may go ahead with the court action they threaten. I wanted to ask however, In the event this action goes ahead, I think will have a response pack sent to me from the court, along with the claim. Google tells me that a section of this response pack is a 'Admit the claim and ask for time to pay'. Would this time to pay, if accepted also mean a CCJ registered against me? Thanks

    • 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.

2024-01-11 Harrow PCN - Stopping in a Box Junction


Recommended Posts

 I Just got this ticket saying I was in a yellow box !

I never drive into boxes if I cant pass them likewise never drive in bus lanes not even when not operational.

The images they have sent me are a total joke

they say there is a video but this is not online and I have to apply in writing if I want to see it before appeal ! 

What do you think

My car is the one with the L shaped rear lights - They also have noted that my car make is unknown ????

Is this a TfL pcn or local council? If TfL, they will put pcn on hold while they send you a copy ofthe video.

The stills in the pcn are supposed to be the ones that show a contravention took place. I can't see either car in contravention, so  you must get the video. It is the council's primary and only evidence

It was taken from a bus lane camera I think does that make it a tfl ticket?

Was sent on local council letterhead

- agreed no contravention here

in my opinion for a contravention to have of occurred then I would have had to sit in the box for the lights to change twice ???

What was the exact wording on the letter?

Maybe upload it?

The video may or may not help.

I believe the Highway Code states that you must not enter the box unless the exit is clear.

So, yes you really need to see the full video.

We could do with some help from you.

your exit was not clear. clearly states you stopped.

BUT regardless..you should not have entered the box junction unless your exit was clear.

following in a line of moving traffic is not an excuse.

14 secs and 57secs timing of the two photos...

in those 43 seconds, you waited for the lights to turn green (poss twice?) but didnt move forward thru the box at all until there was enough room for you to completely exit the box (the 2nd photo?).

if so they are stuffed and time for an appeal via the correct forms.

Agreed, the photos don't actually show a contravention. Ridiculous to issue a ticket on that evidence alone...

this is called a soft appeal

unless they find the Video and show you stopped, should be gameover.

in the past we've seen magical photos appear from xxx council which shows the car in the stop box with red tail lights showing ... these are not proof.

the video must be produced.

if all else fails and they produce no VDO evidence , you can still use the forms pe2/3

I think its a total liberty I really do

They have issued a fine which is unproven yet are willing to put people through stress for no reason - if they cannot produce video prior to 28 days of alleged contravention the fine does not stand anyway does it ?

 

I know I am thick but forms pe2/3 ??? what are these

they have not issued a fine.. only a court can fine anyone, they have issued a PCN.

the forms are on the homepage of this local authority etc forum .

I've been logging on regularly to see if there is any update to this ticket 

Today 3 images have now been uploaded the 2 original ones and now the one attached.

The council said they would put this ticket on hold until which time evidence has been provided, however I have had no correspondence from the local authority I only found this other image because I logged on?

They appear not to have upheld the ticket as it now says I owe £130

clearly shows you following another car so your exit could not have been clear upon your entry to the box.

and if you stopped....

thats why the video is SOOO important. 

if you did stop, sadly you owe.

showing brake your lights on in a still from a video is not proof you stopped.

Agreed need the video

However should I just not appeal it now because they have raised the charge without informing me there is any more images to view and I also have it in writing that they would hold the ticket until the could provide evidence.

Also if it makes a difference I have not been provided with proof of alleged contravention within 28 days of the alleged offence

Date of alleged contravention 9th Jan - the images can only have been uploaded within the last 5 days as I have been checking regularly

well TBH that photo shows you followed another car into the box, so as i've said several times, you are on the backfoot here already as you should not have done that anyway.

i would continue to press for the video.

OH  DX they are driving me mad !

I requested footage to no response.

Spoke to local authority who said they have not followed due process in responding to my informal appeal.

I was told to write a letter to head of parking services detailing the mal administration as this is not right (his words)

I did as instructed and received a written response today telling me I have no right to appeal and they are going to issue court proceedings if payment not received within 14 days.

No mention of my being able to take this to appeals tribunal ? 

Still haven't produced any CCTV

How can I not have the right to take this to the parking tribunal?
