    • There is no evidence that I was issued a PCN that was placed on the car and removed. It seems that I was issued a £60 PCN on the 8th of March (the parking date) but it was never placed on my car, instead,  they allege that they posted the PCN on the 13th of March and deemed delivered on the 15th. I never got this 1st £60 PCN demand. I only know about all of this through the SAR. I only received the second PCN demanding £100, which was deemed delivered on 16/04/2024 - that is 39 days after the parking incident.  I did a little research and "Legislation states that postal PCNs must be sent within 28 days, unless otherwise stated in the Regulations." as per London Councils Code of Practice on Civil Parking Enforcement.  The main issue is that I was not aware of the 1st £60 PCN as I didn't receive it - I'm not sure how this relates to the 28-day rule because that rule applies to the initial £60 PCN. PCM could say that "we sent him the letter by post and it was deemed delivered on the 15th of March" therefore the 28-day rule does not apply.  As regards the safety of the parking attendant, that is clearly something he chose to feel and he made the decision that his safety was threatened - I didn't even see him or had any interaction with him. I'm nearly 50 and I definitely don't look aggressive 😊  
    • okay will do. I'll let you know if anything transpires but once again - many thanks
    • Personally I would strongly suggest not risking going there with debts. Very possible you wont get back out again. And I know many in that position. Not jailed just unable to leave. the stories of Interpol in other countries sounds far fetched but in and out of Dubai is not a good idea. only two weeks ago a mate got stopped albeit a govt debt.
    • BTW the time in and out is less than 10 mins, more than 5 in case that's relevant? I saw an article posted on here about a year ago a proposed legislation change but i don't know if that went through or not? I'm also a blue badge holder but there it was a regular parking spot.   Private parking fines to be capped at £50 WWW.BBC.CO.UK Drivers will also need to be given a grace period for lateness, as part of a crackdown on parking firms.

    • 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

 

We currently rent privately a 3 bedroom bungalow which used to be surrounded by trees. Last summer, the landlord decided to have all the trees ripped out (without any warning to us - we awoke one saturday with a pile of workmen out our back yard and tramping around the house) and left our garden in an awful mess. As a result, all the drains are blocked and to go out around the house, we have to wear wellies. There are also pipes sticking out from the ground and tree stumps all about, which could be a health hazard to our 4 kids, who cannot use the garden to play in.

 

In the past we have complained about the heating which wasn't working and the landlord arrived unannounced shouting the odds that it wasn't up to him.

 

We have taken pictures of the back garden and took them to the letting agent but they say that if we complain, we have to be prepared to be given a months notice as our landlord is short tempered and likely to evict (some protection from the letting agent eh?) They acknowledge that it looks a mess and could be dangerous.

 

We don't want to move but we want it sorted? does anyone know where we stand?

Hi there; sorry to hear about this nuisance. Have a look at the "sticky" post on top about eviction, posession and notice.

If anything is not clear, come back and ask.

Remember: l/lord can only evict you with a court order. The whole possession process can take up to 6 months.

The letting agent is quite right to point out that you can be evicted, they work for the landlord. I would've thought that he would need to give you two months notice. I would personally ask the agent to look for another property.

 

If you don't want to move, then try and speak to him and outline your concerns, but give him a reasonable amount of time to sort it out.
