Hi i bought a dgm 32" tv from scan.co.uk not online but from the retail shop for £300 24th decemnber 2008. September 2009 the tv picture wont work but sound does so i take it back to scan with reciept they says its nowt to do with them send it to dmg for repair....which i did. As of today dgm are still waiting for a part to fix it, nearly six months later. So i went back to scan today they says its nowt to do with them, the scan staff memeber then says get on to trading standards as the manufacturer must return the tv repaired in 28 days or provide a replacement under the sales of goods act 1979 Any way i googled the sales of goods act 1979 and from what i make out i made the contract with the seller (scan) not the manufacturer (dgm).... Help...what do i do ? thanks in advance

i bought a tv 3 years ago with a 3 year warrentee, i went pop last year i had no reciept but rang argos and the had it on record and repaired the telly

The same thing happened to me, i sold a computer cpu chip on ebay for £40. I quoted the buyer £3 for 1st class royal mail delivery, which he was happy with. Surley if he wants to have the package insured or sent with a tracking number he should offer to pay the extra. He paid via paypal and the parcel never showed up. Paypal said that as i didnt have proof of postage i have to refund the buyer, so paypal took the money from my paypal account and refunded. What i dont agree with is that ME (the seller) is the customer of Paypal, as im the one who decided the sale should go through Paypal, and im the one who pays the costs of the service of paypal. However all it takes is one email from the buyer saying that thier item has not arrived and paypal take thier word for it and ignore anything i (the paypal customer) say about the matter. So its obvious that as a buyer, buy through paypal, get the product posted for as less cost as possible i.e royal mail first class , then send an email to paypal saying your item hasnt arrived after it has, then you get a full refund plus the item you wanted. I feel that if the buyer wants to save a few quid and have an item posted first class and not recorded or special delivery then that is thier problem not the seller. Rant over.

Hello, in late december i returned to my parked car which was on a motorway service station which would be classed as a private car park. There was a parking ticket attatched to the windscreen from the private company CP Plus. There were issues with the ticket such as only 1 date was on the ticket, the ticket did not have the traffic wardens signiture and the ticket didnt state the model or colour of the car just the make. So i didnt pay the ticket. I have now just recieved a letter from TRETHOWANS solicitors asking me to pay the £80 parking ticket by april 10th or they will issue action against me. They then say "Once judgement has been obtained against you, i will issue a warrent of execution and ask for the bailiff to levy on your vehicle." What do they mean by the the levy on my vehicle and can they do this legally. I thought that on private land that the person using the car was liable not the vehicle itself and they dont have any proof as to who was driving the vehicle. Thanks in advance for any help or advice. Lastly shall i just pay the ticket? Also im thinking of selling the car soon, so would the new owner have any problems if i dont pay the ticket?

Thanks rob s, i think i will go down the route you described. wish me luck

Sorry for the confusion, as i said i did make a few changes to draft that xipetotec46 kindly posted. Here is a copy of what i sent them, Dear Sirs, CP PLUS LTD placed a £80 Penalty Charge Notice on my Vehicle on 29/12/06 demanding this sum, the notice purporting to be a Penalty Charge Notice issued under the Road Traffic Act 1991. This notice is actually not a Penalty Charge Notice as it does not conform to the requirements of the regulations in that it does not specify an issue date of 29/12/06. Since the notice is invalid it is a nullity, void ab initio with no legal force, non compliant and the demand for payment made by yoursleves on the notice is invalid. At the time I was not aware of this and was induced by its purported official character to make the payment, thankfully i didn`t. I now have the benefit of the ruling by Mr Justice Jackson of 02/08/06 in Barnet v Parking Adjudicator [2006] EWHC 2357 (Admin) which now provides a definitive ruling on the requirements of a Penalty Charge Notice and the effects of a notice which fails to conform to the regulations. At para. 36 he states 'It seems to me that section 66 requires two dates to be stated on a PCN. These are the date of the contravention and the date of the notice' and at para. 41 'The 1991 Act creates a scheme for the civil enforcement of parking control. Under this scheme, motorists become liable to pay financial penalties when certain specified statutory conditions are met. If the statutory conditions are not met, then the financial liability does not arise.' also on the PCN the Colour of the vehicle is not disclosed, the colour of the vehicle can be verified by the relevant vehicle documents of which I hold and these can be confirmed by DVLA Swansea, another problem with the PCN which invalidates it on it's own is that the Parking Attendant has not validated the PCN by signing or initialing it, there is nothing there. the PCN is non compliant so does not conform to the 1991 Road Traffic Act 1991 The full transcript is availiable at London Borough of Barnet Council, R (on the application of) v The Parking Adjudicator [2006] EWHC 2357 (Admin) (02 August 2006) I have enlcosed the in question Penalty Cahrge Notice, however the document has been photocopied. Yours Faithfully The ticket was issed to me for parking on a service station by the private company CP PLUS LTD. I sent the letter to the address supplied on the ticket for paying the fine. There was no other address supplied for an appeal. Maybe it didnt get to them, shall i send a copy of the above letter to the solicitors?

Try this. Dear Sirs, I am seeking the restitution of £XXX paid by mistake on xx/xx/xx by me. The mistake was induced by your actions where you placed on my car on xx/xx/xx a notice demanding this sum, the notice purporting to be a Penalty Charge Notice issued under the Road Traffic Act 1991. I attach a copy of this notice. This notice is actually not a Penalty Charge Notice as it does not conform to the requirements of the regulations in that it does not specify a date of XXXXXXXXX Since the notice is invalid it is a nullity, void ab initio with no legal force, non compliant and the demand for payment made by yoursleves on the notice is invalid. At the time I was not aware of this and was induced by its purported official character to make the payment to you for which I am now seeking restitution. I now have the benefit of the ruling by Mr Justice Jackson of 02/08/06 in Barnet v Parking Adjudicator [2006] EWHC 2357 (Admin) which now provides a definitive ruling on the requirements of a Penalty Charge Notice and the effects of a notice which fails to conform to the regulations.

Under this scheme, motorists become liable to pay financial penalties when certain specified statutory conditions are met. If the statutory conditions are not met, then the financial liability does not arise.' also on the PCN the Colour of the vehicle is worded as YELLOW when it is in fact Green, the colour of the vehicle can be verified by the relevant vehicle documents of which I hold and these can be confirmed by DVLA Swansea, another problem with the PCN which invalidates it on it's own is that the Parking Attendant has not validated the PCN by signing or initialing it, there is nothing there. the PCN is non compliant so does not conform to the 1991 Road Traffic Act 1991 The full transcript is availiable at London Borough of Barnet Council, R (on the application of) v The Parking Adjudicator [2006] EWHC 2357 (Admin) (02 August 2006) If the amount for which I am seeking restitution is paid within 14 days of the date of receipt of this letter I am prepared to accept, without prejudice to my rights, restitution of the GBP XXXX alone without interest or costs. Take notice however that if this sum is not paid and I am required to take further action I will seek restitution of the sum plus interest from the date I made the payment plus costs, including those I have incurred to date. Yours Faithfully XXXXXXXXXX I was issued a pcn a while back and asked for advice on this forum, as the ticket didnt have a date of issue, didnt state colour of vehicle and didnt have a signiture from the traffic attendant. I was advised to appeal and i used used the above letter ( with a few minor changes) to appeal the ticket. Today i recieved a letter from TRETHOWANS solicitors saying that i should pay the £80 within 14 days or court proceedings will be issued against me. Along with a warning that i will have to pay interest, court fees and costs. There is no referance to the letter which i sent them. What do i do now ?

Thanks for the great response people, some good advice here. I shall contend the tickets validity on the grounds of No date of issue, no colour stated, no signitaure. I will keep you posted on any outcomes. P.s. Are there any guidelines on how to word my appeal letter?

There is no date of notice on the ticket, just 1 date. So do you think i should challenge the ticket barry ?

What a great read this thread is. Ok i got a PCN the other day...i noticed a few points about the ticket could anyone advise on its validity... No "date of issue" Colour of vehicle not stated Time of contravention stated as 9.53 not 9.53 am or pm No Parking attendants signiture PCN Notice number only 6 digits long, Shouldnt it be 9? Thanks in advance for any help.
