Attack Of The Clones

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by Pete1950, Apr 17, 2015.

  1. I'm sure challenging said parking ticket wouldn't have been a problem for you anyway Pete! ;)
     
  2. how the fook are they supposed to know each person like you what your car looks like? Thats why these things have unique numbers on them and i know you know thats what the law is there for and to make you say! Or shall the next time a car kills your loved one, the Police come back to you and say oh we are not allowed to demand who owns the car and who was driving at that time,.....get real!

    "The police have now found the car, checked its VIN number, arrested the miscreant, and confirmed to me that I shall not be prosecuted."

    there is no pleasing some people...........
     
  3. Wait til you try to re insure it

    What a nightmare
     
  4. When a vehicle displaying a certain number plate is involved in an offence, it is perfectly reasonable, or essential, for the police to investigate this; no-one has said otherwise. Those investigations ought to allow for the possibility that the number plate is a clone. What I was not happy about is the police asserting that my vehicle was involved in the offence as though that was a fact, and sending me a form to complete with a number of options ALL of which assume that my vehicle actually was involved in the offence, and NONE of which allow for the possibility that it was not there at all. No, I was not pleased at that; why do you think I should have been?

  5. How the hell did you get the car into the office in the first place?.. :eek:
     

  6. Your guilty until proved innocent
     
  7. its the way it is,you know why, stop being so fooking difficult.......you filled it in or not, it was investigated you were not involved they got the bad people you were not involved

    your lot made the rules the least YOU could do is play by them instead of trying to score cheap points...
     
  8. "There is nothing new about this. Tax and duty rates are often increased in the Budget, which is usually in March, and are sometimes increased with immediate effect or at very short notice. As a result various publications, leaflets, reminders, etc in the pipeline showing the old rates are superseded. It is the new tax and duty rates which apply from their effective dates, not the old rates shown in publications. This has happened many, many times before and will no doubt happen again in the future.

    I have no idea why you choose to describe this commonplace situation as a "cock-up", or why you think the DVLA is at fault in any way"


    here is your answer to another persons question of a similar nature against the system................you want to give it out on one hand yet give it out on the other when it suits.......

  9. have you spoken to whoever sent you the "escalating demands" in fact who is it?
     
  10. once had a letter arrive on my doorstep for prosecution
    after my car was involved in an accident in another part of the country where I had never been
    somebody had the same registration plate as mine but on a completely different type of car luckily not to bad to sort that one
     
  11. You should know from what you are complaining about on here, that you shouldn't presume but to find out the true facts before acting.
     
  12. The design of official forms is a dry topic, to say the least. Nevertheless, some forms are well-designed and effective, whilst others are poorly designed and in need of improvement. Occasionally I make comments about both types of forms, good and bad. Somehow you seem to imagine I am being inconsistent if I try to distinguish them. How odd.
     
  13. It doesn't actually matter now on what basis Gt Yarmouth BC withdrew it, so long as I never hear from them again. They might have withdrawn it for some completely irrelevant, mistaken reason for all I care. My presumption was purely incidental and without consequences.

  14. So what lasting consequences have you suffered from the authorities presuming that it was your car?
     
  15. You've seen how Pete posts on here and yet you ask him about the long term effects of trauma? :whistling:
     
  16. Oh yes, the worry of this has caused severe PTSD. I may never recover from the effects of the trauma. Perhaps I'll sue.

  17. I think the officials you dealt with would have a stronger case.

  18. Could you not send the form back with an attached letter explaining why you are unable to complete the form Pete
    Is it called a notice of rebuttal?
     
  19. Exactly right. The correct response is not to complete the form (except for "not applicable" etc) and explain fully in a letter.

    Ultimately, you could abolish all forms and leave it to each person to write a letter giving the relevant information. But that would not work well, because loads of people would fail to give the details which were needed and so they would have to be asked to do it again.

    The reason for having forms at all is to help people to get it right first time, by guiding them as to what is needed. Well designed forms do this. Badly designed forms become an obstacle and an aggravation.
     
  20. i thought petes post was called deflection......
