Free Traffic Legal Advice

Someone I know borrowed my car and received this ticket at Northwick Park Hospital car park, The person paid the parking charges but the car was not parked in a bay. I was not the driver of the car, someone else was driving and now they are refusing to pay for it.

The forum is normally very good at helping people avoid having to pay for tickets as keeper / hirer, and will absolutely be able to assist you in doing that.

That said, you've got a person who's borrowed your car, incurred an expense and refuses to pay. If you so desire, you can provide their name and address to APCOA and that definitely removes any liability from you and means that the other person can deal with APCOA themselves.

It may burn a bridge, but some bridges are worth burning. Your call.

Does that fact that the OP left before the NtD could be given hold any water? Have ECP used the 'wrong' NtK?

'Secretive' aka 'waah waah waah we didn't get a chance to send a photographer this is unfair'

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"
