And the date would be helpful .....PI claims have a Statute of Limitation of 3 years. I would contact your daughter and get her to pass it on to her Insurance company to deal with...that's why you have Insurance. -
I received a penalty notice for parking on a town carpark monitored by G24. I am a 73 year old NHS Responder and had an urgent request to collect emergency medication for a neighbour. In my haste I parked as near to the pharmacy as I could, thinking I would be only a couple of minutes and also believing that the car park was free because of the lockdown. There was a queue in the pharmacy and it took me half an hour to get the medication. My neighbour died shortly afterwards. I received the penalty notice from G24 demanding £100, and immediately responded with an appeal. They claim they responded but I did not receive the letter. A second, identical, penalty notice arrived two months later and I again responded immediately with a copy of my previous letter. G24 responded and denied my appeal, then referred me to an Independent Appeal Service in Macclesfield. The IAS refuted my claim, saying I am out of time because I did not respond within 21 days when my first appeal was denied - this is because that communication did not reach me. G24 have confirmed that they are willing for my independent appeal to proceed but the IAS now want £15 to consider the appeal and have rejected my application. I cannot afford this amount and it is extremely unfair to penalise me for doing my Christian duty when a vulnerable person was in dire need. I am an NHS Responder voluntarily and at my own expense, so why should I have to pay out £100 when consideration should be given to the circumstances surrounding the "misdemeanour". Yes, I parked, but if an ambulance had parked, would there still have been a penalty charge ? I was as much part of the NHS as an ambulance on that occasion and therefore I feel strongly that G24 should take the circumstances into account. -

You will see that there is minimal bend in the road although there is more bend earlier near the junction with Ormond Way, so emphasising this is steering the OP in the wrong direction. The OP did mention in an early post the speed of 30 mph., but I suspect that this was merely an indication that she does not consider that she was speeding, rather than a precise speed. -
Really just what can she do? Due to covid she may have to wait 2/3 and be unable to drive plus why are the fines so High? We dont even know if she was driving as we both use the same cars regularly Is it better to download an SD and complete or better to attend the court to do this as we are unsure as to what the court office has done this morning Thanks -
They have to have grounds to disagree....its based on your Financial I & E..if all you can afford is £10pm...that's what they get if the court orders it. You can fight a CO application...but as its a joint mortgage and debt...it would be very difficult..not impossible...but why bother ?

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
