    • 12mph (beyond any UK limit) will certainly qualify for a Fixed Penalty. So you should received an offer of a FP for each of the remaining two offences. Be sure to submit your licence details as instructed when you accept the offer. If you don't your £100 will be returned to you and the police will prosecute you in court.
    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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 'parking ticket' from these cowboys back in Jan for parking in a disabled space for approx 5 min. while I took my young nephew to the toilet (there were no mother and child spaces free). Having ignored their numerous threats and increased charges they have now passed me on to CCS Debt recovery.... what joy.... they certainly keep moving the goal posts,

April: You fine has been increased to £135 to cover our admin charges

May: Unless we receive payment by 10am on the 22nd May we will start court proceedings

June: This gives you 72 hours notice that one of our operatives will call at your home to collect payment in full (this was 144 hours ago!)

I await the July instalment of this saga. My message to CCS.... bring it on I could do witrh a laugh:D

got my first begging letter last week,do these clowns think i've hit the big one,fools.

must admit it is hard ignoring them as i realy want the fight,and to take the p&$$ out of them.

Ignoring them is the thing that hurts them the most because they then keep on wasting THEIR money with ridiculous demands with no response. That's the biggest p*ss take ever.

Hi All,

 

I posted my case a month or so ago. I recieved a ticket on my car, no sum indicated and I couldn't see a company name either for contact. So discarded it.

 

3 weeks later an invoice for £85 for abuse of parking from Central Ticketing.

 

Then i wrote to my MP, who wrote to both the British Parking Association and Central Ticketing.

 

I then recieved another invoice this weekend from debt collection agency requesting £181 within 7 days, acting on the behalf of central ticketing. The debt collectors now threaten me with their solcitor.

 

I contacted my MP who has received a reply letter from Central Ticketing with a sample ticket attached, which shows a location for a sum to be wrote - however on my ticket there was no sum or contact address. An address is on the sample ticket (in small print). I cannot remember seeing an address on the ticket.

 

I really do not know what to do.

Ignore it.

 

The ignore it again.

 

Ignore any communication from the PPC, the debt collectors, or any "solicitors" (I use the term advisedly), who are probably all the same people.

 

On the off chance that you receive notification of actual stamped court papers (which would be delivered with a set of hen's teeth, given the rarity of court action), then you can take the appropriate steps.

 

Their actions are unlawful, and they have no valid course of action in demanding money from you.

Hi,

 

Just to keep you posted.

 

By contacting my MP and them writing letters on my behalf to both the debt collectors and the Central Ticketing. Central Ticketing wrote back saying that I should have been charged with Obstructive parking instead of Patron parking abuse, becuase as their enclosed photograph showed, I had parked almost over 2 spaces IN AN EMPTY CARPARK. But who I was obstructing in an EMPTY carpark is beyond me!!! So they cancelled the ticket and apologised for the inconvenience.

 

My MP said that this was Central ticketings way of withdrawing the ticket as it does not stand in a court of law.

 

These private parking companies are a sham - you should either pay and display in a carpark or not.

 

These companies clearly do not consider the environment at the time - i.e. the carpark was clearly empty - as shown in their photo they enclosed.

 

It is alot of stress for nothing - but perhaps people should ignore these threats from companies such as Central Ticketing.

hi guys, thanks for all the usefull advice, i was actually looking for the central ticketing website to pay them when i found this one, i got scammed on the tesco car park in st helens, just received my first begging letter from Graham White (solicitors) hopefully the next will be the last.

If you are at the Graham White stage then its pretty much the end of the road :)

PPCs in general very rarely take people to court as they know what thier up against. In the few instances when they do go to court is when the alledged has racked up a very large amount of money which the PPC will deem worth the risk- hoping that the alledged has a lack of knowledge and/or poor defence.

I got TWO tickets there on Friday!! First one, he was writing me up for parking in a disabled bay as I returned to the car, bag in hand... I had my blue badge on display - BUT it had expired at midnight (I don't check it every day - they are valid for 3 years ffs)... Guy was nice enough, even laughed when I pointed out the car full of "kidders" parked next to mine, they were eating their lunch, not a blue badge in sight... But obv not an "easy" target - Anyway, took the ticket, and the offered appeal form - Went home, rang Tesco and kicked up a storm... They rang central ticketing, who agreed to cancel "under protest" as I had apparently.... Sped off whilst he was writing the ticket - hurling abuse at him!!!! I explained, that if this was the case, then how did I have not only the ticket, but also the appeal form???? She suggested I complain at the store, over the "wardens" lies...

 

I went back, and parked in the "parent with child" as had OH and kids with me - I went to CS desk asking for the manager - the "warden" walked past, said "Hi" and that I had gotten my ticket cancelled quick enough... I explained that I was back to see the manager after my "alledged" behaviour... Was talking to the manger, explaining - When the w@nekr came back, interrupted us, to tell me I had ANOTHER ticket as he had not seen me with any kids!!!!

 

I was livid - went and got my OH, followed by the manager, she was now at the till, just about to pay for £130 worth of bagged shopping - I told her to cancel the transaction, and left the store - leaving them to unpack the bags..

 

Have now raised a full complaint with HO and will NOT be shopping @ Tesco ever again....

 

I realise my badge had expired, but a simple caution would have sufficed... I had it renewed later that day, and to double ticket me....

Currently sitting with about 90 tickets from Central Ticketing, all for parking in the same place, and no sign of any court action (Yet!)

my ticket was virtually the same as yours, i had actually just renewed my bluebadge but i put the wrong one in the window by mistake, suppose i have a legitimate case for appeal (considering i can produce a badge that was in date at the time of the "offence") but i thought it would be more fun to just ignore them after reading the posts on here, the letter to tescos informing them of my lost custom is on the way.

What really peed me off, was the fact that he was quite happy to ignore the cars parked either side, both occupied, and WITHOUT blue badges.... Obviously more profit in the old "Ticket and run" rather than confrontation....

anybody watch dispatches on mon night? they sent an undercover reporter into a debt collection agency to show the underhand tactics (many not even legal) they use to collect debt, a lady from wirral showed a letter from graham white solicitors who where supposedly acting for roxburghe debt collection agency who where in turn working on behalf of next retail, i had a letter from roxburghe and then graham white solicitors, on monday nights programe they showed a different debt collection agency marlin, using the same tactics, marlin and their "solicitors" where the same person! just using scare tactics because a solicitors letter looks more official, could roxburghe and graham white be the same company? i reckon so.

i also watched the same program on monday night,and it just shows that these [problem] artist dont have a leg to stand on, also if you look at the address for roxburghe and graham white they both have the very same address. if you go on rouburghe's web page the post code is that of graham white's that they have on thier letter head, so yes the very same muppets

Hi, I'm new here and just wanted to share my experience with CT. My son had received a ticket from CT for parking in Stirling at a small shopping centre carpark, and 'leaving the carpark'. Asplanning law dictates that stores must supply public parking, there was no way he's fork out 60 quid to these people. He wrote, asking them the basis in Scots laws that enables them to issue parking tickets that appear to mimic those issued by the Police, traffic wardens, and to levy penalties, and received a reply 2 weeks later not answering any of his questions merely stating that he has been "unsuccessful ? He ignored the letter. In April he received another letter from CT saying that the case had been passed to their debt recovery agents..JB Debt Recovery. Sure enough they managed to trace his mobile phone number and called him 2 to 3 times a day often texting asking him to contact them quoting a 'case' number. You know what, he ignored every single call, never answering and 3 months later he has heard nothing.

 

CT are [problematic], they prey on peoples ignorance of the law and their gullability. The Debt collection agencies cannot contact you for a debt that has not been sanctioned through a court order. They know that, but they rely on you NOT knowing that and paying up. My son actually thought about forking out, just to get them to stop calling him, but I told him to stand firm.. I suggest you do also. Hope this helps..

Hello everyone, I just received my first letter from Roxburgh debt collection agency! i feel so proud.

 

It stems from a PPC a received in november 2008 for the vehicle registered to me, parked immediately outside my garage, in a cul-de-sac on the private development where i live.

 

to date i have only received one letter from Graham 'mickey mouse' White, and one from Roxburgh. How many more am i likely to receive, and should i write to Roxburgh stating that the matter is still in dispute, or is that just a waste of my printer ink??

 

look forward to a reply from you fine folk.:smile:

Usually 2 from Graham White and they should be the final letters.

 

No point in writing to Roxburghe saying it is in dispute with CT coz it's probably the same guy sending you all the letters anyway so he should already know it is in dispute!!
