It was the previous car around a year ago.

Ah. Don't think that changes much tbh, because you don't know what you don't know, and since they have found him eventually, it means they could have done at any time.

I think the crux of it is that rick genuinely did have the car registered at the wrong address

Super annoying.
I had my car tax expire a few years ago. The DD failed to renew because we'd moved. They wrote to us at our old address. We had a redirect on our post, but apparently "official" post (which includes the DVLA) doesn't get redirected.
First I heard of it was an untaxed vehicle sticker on the car, followed by a large fine.

Going back to the beginning of the saga, did you keep any proof that you tried to pay and it failed? Screenshots of error messages or something. Might help mitigate things a little.
Regarding credit checks, I've never done one. Suspect we'd score pretty badly due to having had very few loans or credit cards other than the mortgage, which is now paid off.

First I found out about all of this was a text this morning and I called up to find I owed £618 🤷🏻♂️

I dont think the debt collectors have necessarily covered themselves in glory, though. And courts tend not to look all that favourably on proceedings broughtagainst people who don't know about them. The fact they did notify you in the end is actually not helpful to them. Then there's the reasonableness of the charge. By analogy to parking penalties that's probably also questionable.
The main challenge, it seems to me is stopping the process so that you can recover the situation somewhat.

I think you need to "reach out" to them ....
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

Constituencies racing to be the first to declare. There’s no rush and they’re usually ones where the winner is a foregone conclusion anyway.

Wondering how this is going?

Speaking to the Traffic Enforcement Centre on Monday as they did not send me the right forms for me to put in - not a legal term - a way to challenge the penalty.
Need to get some advice on how to fill them out as apparently not filling the forms in properly, as it’s a legal thing, happens more often than not.
I think if I do that properly the odds are I can get the penalty knocked down to £60 or £100 or so.
According to this: https://bailiffadviceonline.co.uk/index-page/dart-charge-and-tfl-congestion-charge/dart-charge-out-of-time-witness-statement
i have also lodged a complaint about being charged the bailiff call-out charge to the debt collector but I am not hopeful as the legal position seems to be it’s my fault I was driving around with my car wrongly registered and they are only legally obliged to notify me by post.

The wife's insistence on buying cheap bin bags (combined with her and the daughter cramming stuff into the bin until I empty it). Trying to get the bag out without it falling apart and then getting it into a second bag is becoming a bit of a science.

My wife is a big fan of compressing the rubbish into the bin for 2 days after the bin is full. Once it's that rammed, the bag/rubbish forms a seal that makes it very difficult to extract the bag.
I've drilled a couple of holes in the bottom of the bin so air can get in under the bag and release it, otherwise it just tears the top off the bag when you try and drag it out.

Yeah, that's what I get combined with tissue paper thin bags.

We had the same problem with our Brabantia until I made a "bin syphon" from a bit of 22mm plastic overflow pipe that I leave in the bin between the side and the bag. It's just short of the top of the bin lip. Allows air to get to the bottom to enable easy extraction of said over-stuffed bag.
Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

I might have to make a bin siphon, but glue it to the side of the bin so the EPO doesn't throw it out in the event she does empty the bin.

Lucy Letby verdict: ‘There’s a chance this is a terrible miscarriage of justice’
After Lucy Letby was found guilty of seven murders and seven attempted murders, questions have started to emerge about some of the evidence used to convict the former nurse.
On Tuesday, The Telegraph examined the concerns in the arguments used to convict Letby.
In response, Telegraph readers weighed in on the guilty verdict.
For example, Stephanie Findlay said: “There seems to be a problem when experts give probabilities. A juror has to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt, but when an expert says the probability is one in 73 million, the juror is virtually duty bound to accept the expertise.
“However, one could say that it is statistically improbable that anyone would win the lottery. So perhaps these probabilities should be compared to other improbable events like being run over by a bus or killed in a train crash, so the jurors understand that even if the chance is minuscule, it can happen.”

I mean, does Stephanie Findllay know where the other less than one possible person in the entire UK lives? What if it's on Mull? I mean, does that reduce the odds that they were a nurse in Chester?

Stephanie Findlay's argument is certainly "interesting".

I would say 1:70000000 should represent beyond reasonable doubt in anyone’s language. Still, it was in The Telegraph so will be treated as fact by some.

I'd simply suggest that while 1:70000000 is a remote chance it is a long way off reasonable doubt.
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
I am not sure. You have no chance.Veronese68 wrote:PB is the most sensible person on here.0
