    • 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.

    • 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've been using it for around 10 months now (for US transactions) and it works well - but some CC are treating purchases as cash advances, so one to watch). Apart from that, eBay's decision to block other payment systems was fine when there were security issues, but simply because the provide consumer choice is something the regulators may want to look into.

If ebay doesn't watch out, we will see a google bay or something. The guys at google currently have very very deep pockets indeed.

Just some guy. I try to help, but all advice is my opinion.

Rich~ Google it, erm... adsense dont pay up, adsense terminated my account without reason... something on those lines, unless google has filtered them you will find loads of them.

 

They even tried to terminate my adsense account simply because someone was viewing my site too much - claiming click fraud or something - even though this person never clicked on an advert - as the adsense is javascript i suppose they got a small increase in hits by that user - nothing under my control, nothing that would jepordise their servers stability or anything - my shared with a thousand other people hosting managed to survive it - i mean google could have simply blocked that users IP.

 

I mean my website was far from the most popular on the internet (understatement) and if some of the big sites can have adsense and be fine, then why were they picking on a small site? Simply because if they do it to loads of them they save alot of money - we dont have money to take them to court - i would call that evil, personally...

 

Anyway, after it being suspended for a month (lost earnings and freeze on payouts) i finally got it over turned, all the hassle to make a few quid from your website...

Yes, our club website had adsense and our account was terminated in a similar manner. No appeal. Easy to see how google became so rich! :mad:

Yes, yes but that hardly qualifies the statement "Evil" though does it?

 

There's obviously something wrong and I have no particular love of Google or for that matter Microsoft but refering to them as Evil doesnt really help matters and potentially turns people off from listening.

 

Lets try to keep some perspective :)

the funny thing is...

 

Microsoft declares themself as a huge corporate company who are determined to make as much profit as possible by selling software to which rivals dont even come close to them. The anti-trust competition is solely because nothing beats Windows and Office....

 

Google... people still think its some bloke from a university who setup a non-profit organisation to make the web easier to find stuff on... (i disagree with that now) you know a course work assignment or something.

 

Animalmagic, glad someone can confirm, and thats what i am talking about, regardless of if you are in the right or wrong, (which you were in the right)

...you surely have the right to appeal and/or question the decision. This is fraud and theft as... it is all account based, you earnt that money fair and square - so even if you were doing something wrong then surely you are entitled to get a pay cheque...

Wrong. Plenty beats Windows and Office. The anti-trust issue is more to do with Microsoft selling Windows to manufacturers for peanuts on the condition that their machines ship with Windows and nothing else (potentially crossing the line from hard bargaining to economic duress), and the bundled Web browser giving them an unfair market advantage gleaned entirely from inertia. Microsoft's product line is mixed at best - Visual Studio and the C# programming language are pretty good, IIS and Exchange are not brilliant, SourceSafe is so horrendous MS has practically disowned it, and Windows Vista has simultaneously missed the boat (with its scheduled release in 2003 originally put back to 2005) and arrived too soon (the high-spec hardware required to run it well isn't widely available).

 

Courts in the US and EU have decided that their bundling of Internet Explorer with Windows is unfair, yet the integration is so tight that Microsoft actually finds it cheaper to simply pay what is equivalent to a million dollars in fines every day than to re-engineer IE or the Windows shell to unpick the two.

With Web 2.0 the OS requires integration with a web browser. The fact Windows started with IE as a bolt-on is immaterial, and the EU's position remains untenable in the light of server-based applications.

Complete and utter poppycock. It certainly doesn't require integration to the degree that your Web browser doubles up as your shell application.

I'm having difficulty in parsing this sentence due to it making absolutely no sense whatsoever. Can you elaborate?

lol! meagain, what beats windows and office? you going to tell me linux and openoffice? :D hehe joker!

 

You would be ****ed off to get windows and have to download everything other then its core, ironically i have linux distributions and god damn, do you know how many programmes are included with them?!?!

 

Microsoft in Europe brought out Windows XP N, windows XP without WMP.

 

Talking of the IE debate, who started the debate off?

No, I'm going to tell you that Windows is not the best operating system out there (I'm probably making a big jump in assuming you know what an "operating system" is, and the difference between the OS and userspace programs).

This statement is flawed, in that is has absolutely FA to do with the concept of anti-competitive practices on the part of Microsoft or (as was originally raised) eBay.

My OH prefers linux because he controls what goes into the systems he's building. He can download and customise to a high degree what this system is going to be used for, what that system will do... The only reason I stick with a PC atm is because if you're a gamer, linux will cripple you - most PC games are geared specifically towards running in Windows, and I've got a lot more to learn before I start trying to get them to work on another OS.

 

EDIT: Another anti-competition tactic from Micros***? Or games publishers too scared to break out and design a game for the game's sake, not for the money they'll make out of it? **Cough cough EA Games I'm lookin' at you cough**
