Re: UKCPS Leeds Station - Notice to Keeper (Postal-PoFA) - no

No contract was entered into as the Consumer Rights Act (2015)
Schedule 2 Paragraph 10 states that, "A term which has the
object or effect of irrevocably binding the consumer to terms
with which the consumer has had no real opportunity of becoming
acquainted before the conclusion of the contract" is to be
regarded as an unfair term.
In this instance the operators claim of what amounts to an
'instant contract' breaches the aforementioned paragraph of the
Consumer Rights Act (2015) and is therefore an unenforceable
term.

Thanks Intercity
I will add that to the statement you kindly gave me before.
Just the point I was wanting to make = brill.
The change to "non-ANPR" isn't important then? I thought they
would have changed it to ANPR - I must not be understanding it
properly.

It doesn't look like ANPR, more like stills taken from a video
CCTV feed. But that's not of much importance either way.

I've cocked up submitting the appeal to IAS Arbitration. I have
submitted an empty page in error.
I misunderstood the online instruction. I had not realised there
was only one comment box for both reply to operator and submit
to Arbitration.
I was also distracted. A yellow banner said the site had
intermittent outages on Monday evening (when I submitted it)
thru to Tuesday. I was wondering if my appeal might get lost.
Then when I tried to use the comment box I found out it would
not accept copy and paste, so I was thinking how could I read my
statement and type it in at the same time. Then I misread the
instruction and thought the comments box was only for reply to
operator. So I pressed to Arbitration expecting to go to a
screen to complete my appeal, but sadly I had pressed 'submit
appeal' and there was no way of undoing it. I did not receive
an email confirmation of submission from IAS which seemed
strange. I still had a day until the deadline, so I have just
tried to do it again now, but it is locked to further actions
and states - Awaiting Adjudication.
I'm fed up about the time spent on this by advisors on here and
the help my family and friends gave me. And now I don't have a
chance to send it in. Sorry to everyone who helped.
What will it mean now?

There is an Enquiry tab. I am presently trying to send in my
Appeal that way. Again the box DOES NOT ALLOW A COPY AND PASTE.
A barrier for users for sure. I am trying to at least submit it
this way so I have evidence for the CCJ (just in case it gets
that far). I have no idea of word length yet. They should not be
so harsh with User error. I am still in the deadline.

Close the developer panel and submit. This bypasses all

you saved the day for my appeal submission = big thank you for
sending me the way around copying and pasting into IAS text
boxes.
I took your technical info to a neighbour who sorted it out so
that I could copy and paste my response to IAS. I did submit it
in the end but not as Arbitration, I sent it as a response to
the operator. There are reasons why = because of very unclear
process. That just means there is another 8 days to wait and if
the UKCPS does not reply it will automatically go to
adjudication.
I was able to have a second chance to submit after an
unsuccessful attempt because my message to IAS Enquiries about
not having submitted my response, resulted in them re-setting my
portal to allow me to submit. They even added on the day I lost
and extended my deadline by a day. They did this because I was
still in the deadline timescale and had a day left.
That is a good tip for appellants: aim to reply 2 days earlier
than the given deadline in case you encounter technical issues
and unclear submission information. If you have issue go to
Enquiries and ask there.
I have not had an easy time in getting the second attempt
response in. In fact, it has been awful and taken far too much
time.
I ended up writing a complaint to the IAS about their unclear
instructions on their online portal at the point of seeking
arbitration. Whether I was partly wrong or not, it was my
experience and I have certainly highlighted some inaccuracies
and unclear messages from them. To ensure my complaint reached
the IAS, I uploaded it as an evidence document because I could
not copy and paste my complaint in to their Enquiries text bod
(my neighbour had already changed back my settings and their
portal did not allow copy and paste again). By default, this
also means that my complaint has been sent to the UKCPS because
it is an evidence document. My complaint to the IAS below:
------------------------------------
COMPLAINT for the IAS:
the IAS online process for Appeals is not user-friendly and
creates barriers for the Appellant at the point of seeking
Arbitration.
1. It does not allow the user to copy and paste text in response
box without changing their technical set up.
2. The comment box states 'Response to operator'. Underneath are
2 options of where to send comment: 1/ "Submit response"; 2/
"Refer the case straight to Arbitration".
I wish to give a comment for Arbitration, not to the operator.
There is NO text box with a title 'Response for Arbitration'.
Logically the appellant would press 'Refer the case straight to
Arbitration' to insert their comment.
3. If the appellant clicks 'Refer the case straight to
Arbitration' then a warning box pops up. The instructions refer
to using the comment box and evidence upload on the previous
screen (a box titled: 'Response to operator') without being
clear enough for those seeking Arbitration. This is confusing
for those seeking to give a response for Arbitration.
4. There are words missing in the warning box "...you must GO
BACK and submit your these within your response". This does not
make sense.
5. The appellant has no idea if putting their comment in the
'Response to operator' box will successfully send their comment
for Arbitration. For this reason, to cover my back, I have
uploaded a copy of my Appeal for Arbitration as an Evidence
document.
6. If the Appellant continues past the warning pop-up message,
still expecting to find a comment box for Arbitration, then they
discover that there is none. Instead, their request to seek
Arbitration is logged without the appellant submitting their
response. There is no way to rememdy this from the appellants
live case. This happened to me and I contacted IAS through their
Enquiries stating I had misunderstood their instructions and had
not submitted my response for Arbitration, I provided my
response for Arbitration. They replied to say they were unable
to accept my response in Enquiries and they re-instated some
time for me to reply through the portal because I was still
within the deadline. This would have been helpful if the process
was clear thereafter, it has not been.
7. On trying to submit my response for Arbitration AGAIN, I have
encountered the above issues and have had to resort to uploading
my Appeal as an evidence document due to unclear process.
8. If I click 'Submit response' (instead of Refer straight to
Arbitration), because I have no choice but to use the 'Response
to operator' box, then it does not work and gives me a screen
error [2314130.220997]. I tried again and it did work. I
changed my strategy of seeking Arbitration and clicked Submit
response (to operator) given the unclear process. This means
that the only option I have is to insert my comment in the
'Response to operator box'; upload my response for Arbitration
as an evidence document as a back-up; click 'Refer the case
straight to Arbitration'; ignore the warning box and click
Submit.
Please respond to my complaint. I have also sent this complaint
to IAS Enquiries.
Also uploaded: screenshot of Warning pop-up box when 'Refer the
case straight to arbitration' is clicked. It has missing words
and does not make sense.
----------------------------------
***MY ERROR IN ABOVE COMPLAINT***
In the end I clicked RESPONSE TO OPERATOR & UPLOADED my
complaint to IAS via the Evidence route.
----------------------------------
Now I have 8 days to wait for a response from the UKCPS. If
they do not, it will go straight to arbitration.
At least I got there in the end. All words for my appeal were
kindly provided from InterCity 125 and advice from jfollows and
others.

It was just lucky that I remembered the subject had come up
before and was able to find it. Glad it helped.
