Free Traffic Legal Advice

This almost happened to me in Glasgow a couple of months back, I spotted just before making payment that my 8 quid was buying me from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning.

Unfortunately for you, since it tells you the end time of the session before you make payment, Ringo are going to argue that you were informed of what you were paying for before paying and deny any refund or dispute any chargeback on that basis.

What proof do you have that it was sold? It's been transferred to another learner, but the £500 - £1000 figure appears to have just been made up.

The difference is that dogs can be trained to behave and follow commands, and cats...well, you'd have more luck ordering gravity to switch off.

Hi All,

So I made a subject access request for emails that entailed information about me, between certain persons, for the last 6 months.

The company Data protection officer finally sent the information through. The relevant PDF only contained 1 email. I know for a fact that there were more and therefore other emails had been deleted, which means the company's IT department did not include in their search.

Am I entitled to request that the company searches for deleted files.

You can request deleted files, but if they're deleted then I don't know what you expect the company to send you. If a subsequent search shows that (for example) emails prior to 2 months old were deleted prior to your initial request, then they're gone. The company isn't under any obligation to attempt to recover them if indeed that was even possible.

You say you know for a fact that there were more emails, but the issue is how you prove this. How did you word your request?
For example, if you asked for 'emails between person A and person B regarding Mayhem007' then IT may have run a search for emails that contained your name. but if Person A and B had a chat about you in an office and a later follow up email just said 'regarding today's chat, I agree the next step is to force the person out' then that wouldn't have shown up.

Basically, put yourself in a neutral arbitrator's shoes - if the company says 'we searched and this is all we got' and you say 'no i know there's more than that' then their next step will be asking you how and why the company is not to be believed. And you'll need some actual evidence for that.

Get your wife to appeal as follows:

"I appeal as registered keeper.

Liability for the parking charge rests with the driver of the vehicle. I have no requirement to name the driver, and I will not be doing so. For the avoidance of doubt, I was not the driver.

You will be aware that under Scots law there is no mechanism via which liability for the charge can be transferred from the driver to the keeper.

I look forward to your confirmation that this charge has been cancelled"

In layman's terms, if the director(s) are to blame (whether through a positive act or through neglect) for the company getting fined for failing to identify the driver, they can also be penalised (which includes getting points on their licence)

Luckily I do know what I'm talking about and what I posted wasn't 'bollox', but thanks for the tip.

I had a long time rental vehicle which I have now returned. I was given a final invoice on the day and told them I could not afford this. We setup a payment plan and I went on my way. I had then since asked a repair company called ChipsAway who I provided the same invoice to, to see what their quotes were like. Chipsaway were far cheaper than the rental company. I have told the rental company I'd be happy to pay what ChipsAway have quoted. They have threatened me with debt collection if I dont pay original invoice.

Where do I stand here?

If the damage is your fault / liability then you need to pay an amount to the rental company to make them whole.

The amount must not be unreasonable, but if they have a preferred company to use then the amount is not unreasonable merely because another company is cheaper.

it would be very strange for someone to pay for a remap, then sell the bike after less than 150 miles. 

Is it possible for someone to remap, realise something's wrong with the bike as a result, and then sell it on saying 'nope, never been remapped, honest guv'?
