    • Their letter to you was rather condescending and even rude  "-in order to allow a reasonable driver to be notified of the terms and conditions". So f they do decide to go ahead from here remember that when responding to their Witness Statement as they never get that right. 
    • Trump also threatened blanket tariffs of 15% or 20% on most trade partners, and said he will soon announce new tariffs on the EU.View the full article
    • We still have not seen either the Notice to Driver or hte Notice to Keeper PCNs. As these are legal documents that can help  your case could you please post them up. I did ask last year if you didn't retain the NTD that you send UKCPS an sar. Did you do that? If you don't have those two vital PCNs [not the reminders] can you please send off an asr now. Sometimes the rogues use Trace to confirm their address is till valid with a view to sending out a letter of Claim. If you have received the SAR could you please post up its contents.
    • One more thing Madge just make sure that you include the payment confirmation from the phone app to ECP. this will never see Court if anyone at ECP has the ability to read and understand English. Then send it off to court and ECP. Next -at least one bottle of wine between the two of you and relax. It is over..........................
    • Thank you Restart for posting the original PCN-it is the one that has to comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. And thanks to Nicky - I hadn't noticed the word Reminder on the first PCN and wondered why it was posted on the 29th June but Restart said he had received it on the 24th. The original PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act Schedule 4 whicch means that you as keeper are therefore not liable for the charge. The driver is the only one now liable and as you haven't appealed they don't know who was driving so you are both in the clear.  It is non compliant because they have not included the actual parking period just their own ANPR times that obviously include driving from the entrance to the parking place and later driving to the exit. Section 9 [2][a] refers- (2)The notice must—(a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; They have also failed to ask the keeper to pay Section9 [2][e]  (e)state that the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver and invite the keeper—(i)to pay the unpaid parking charges Sadly although both of you are in the clear there is nothing yoycan do to bring this to a quick close. So you will just have to read piles of letters containg threats and unlawful increases in the amount they are charging. They can all be safely ignored knowing that your case will be thrown out should it ever get to Court. Though Dave is right that a letter to Starbucks might get you a quick cancellation. All you have to watch out for is a Letter of Claim which if received let us know and we can advise a snotty letter to send back to them. The snottier it is the more likely they will decide not to go to CourtIn the meantime read up other cases which have been successfful or ongoing cases esprcially ones similar to yours to understand the way these vile companies operate. Do not contact them as  you might let slip who was driving and that at the moment is your strongest asset.

    • 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.

What Hunt is really doing for the NHS - or more accurately the private sector he is so enmeshed in profiting and profiting from

The already-strained health service could suffer a 1.2% cut in day-to-day spending in England – the largest reduction since the 1970s – according to analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), despite ministers’ promises not to squeeze healthcare.

The IFS said the health budget would be 2.4% lower in 2024–25 without further funding of around £2.1 billion.

 

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

The already-strained health service could suffer a 1.2% cut in day-to-day spending in England, according to analysis.

 

Critics urged the Chancellor to cancel the “scandalous” spending cuts amid calls for public service funding to be prioritised over tax reductions in his financial statement on Wednesday.

I see that Johnson the corrupt liar has been availing himself of Blyths (what a suitable name) luxury 'hospitality' in the Dominican Republic again ...

and when it ended,  Johnson allegedly starts kicking off like a prima donna when his flight is slightly delayed

... then suddenly the police raid the plane and drag off (allegedly) a drug smuggler

 

.. well sadly, it wasn't Johnson or Blyth BUT

either Johnsons and his host Blyths security is as crapily incompetent as Johnson the incompetent liars management skills - to fail to spot a drug smuggler on the plane after the extra security checks .. that the police knew about

 

.. or (surely not) someone was trying to use Johnson the corrupt liar ex PMs presence on the flight as cover to smuggle drugs

No, can't be - ex PMs travel details are blocked so only Johnson and his magnanimous pal would know what flight he was on .. eh?

More on Michelle Donelan's apology and payment.

NEW: it seems that *taxpayers* covered the cost of Michelle Donelan's false accusations. Her department says a "nominal" sum was paid, "subject to all the usual cross-govet processes, & aims to reduce overall costs to the taxpayer that could result from protracted legal action."

This seems wrong to me. As someone else tweeted, is it in her job description to libel academics?

Cant wait to see if Hunt says something about nondom tax free living ... when they've resisted ending it and roundly supported its 'benefits' for so long LOL

Whatever he does its extremely unlikely there WON'T be loads of loopholes for nondoms to exploit - its just headlines

- and as you say HB - think the public has seen these corrupt chronyistic liars for who they are no matter how much they try to rearrange deckchairs as a screen.

The 62-year-old, from Germany said he had the large number of vaccines for ‘private reasons’, researchers said

 

 

The research team said it had seen official confirmation for 134 of the vaccinations, which included eight different vaccines.

“The observation that no noticeable side-effects were triggered in spite of this extraordinary hypervaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability,” Schober said.

Certain immune cells and antibodies against the virus which causes Covid-19 (Sars-CoV-2) were present in considerably higher levels compared with people who had received just three vaccines, the team reported.

“Overall, we did not find any indication for a weaker immune response, rather the contrary,” said one of the leading study authors Katharina Kocher.

Lozza hasn't taken this well, has he?

I see Dan Wootton has left GB News now, after losing his Mail column a few months ago. The Sun are still investigating his behaviour when he was with them.

He's starting an independent channel online without regulation by what he calls the Ofcommunists. Odd because a lot of people think they've been rather lenient with GBeebies.

Budget summary

The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) issued its warning over today’s statement as it also revealed that the average worker on a £35,000 salary will still be £383 worse off over this year and the next due to stealth tax rises. (eg ongoing frozen tax limits)

Lowest income bracket calculated (those around 15k a year) roughly the same amount worse off - but of course its actually around 3x more impact

 

These figures DON'T seem to take account of council tax and water tax increases - especially that some being lobbied for are much larger than 'normal'

It's no wonder Labour haven't talked about all of their policies because it's highly likely the Tories will just steal them and then claim the credit.If your party's main policy seems to be culture wars and division, I suppose you don't have a lot of time for the practical stuff.

Personally I thought Hunt should have been told off for calling the deputy leader of the Labour party Angela, against parliamentary etiquette.

As for second home owners, Rayner underpaid by around £1500 according to one estimate. Someone else was referred to the parliamentary standards committee.

Interesting that you are happy that the extremist right wing have further ruined our Countries economy and rather than support our countries services and people - have just thrown away around another £48B of taxpayer money.

No surprises there either.

So, the right wing tories are paying the costs of her outbursts as:

"“There is an established precedent under multiple administrations that ministers are provided with legal support and representation where matters relate to their conduct and responsibilities as a minister, as was the case here."

so surely - she has brought the office into disrepute as it was not an outburst as a private person,

but as  "conduct and responsibilities as a minister, as was the case here"

the guv say it was paid as she was acting as a minister - so she should be challenged for bringing the office into disrepute - I know they always try to have it both ways .. but it should be challenged.

Then they'll probably make her pay - and she'll perhaps try to charge it to Ministerial expenses  ...
