I'm not going to rise to the bait Charles, however, do you think this forum is an appropriate place to wash dirty linen?

Bring problem's and issues certainly, I'm certain both JD, Sussex and the rest will not only sympathise but try to give sound advice, but please dont put me into a situation where I will have to defend the NTA with facts.

DO WHAT YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO DO, I do not have anything to hide i have already siad i have not paid all subs to the NAT but what have the nta done for my members , i make no apologises for that, i have a lot of members, I HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO DEAL WITH ISSUES, I HAVE JUST TAKEN over an other Accociation that was in the nta last monday, i know you should pay £20 PER PLATE but if members dont wish to pay i am not going to force them, you put what you will including PRESTON. I work long hours 7 days a week 365 days a year, i dont have a life outside the association, but give all to both the NTA and Members, just because my face didnt fit.

its all about members that i had in a few the nta expected that all the members would pay well some said no. And the nta did not even write to tell me i was out. what does that say do what you want i may not be-able to spell my not be able write well, but i get results. and how any letter thanking me do you wish me to post on here. it the nta as a problem about that i am sorry. you have the address of our solicitor feel free

Considering none of the membership contributed to the costs of the legal action what is the situation now regarding their membership and your continued representation of the Bury organisation?

Well there you have it in a nutshell; you didnt pay the subscription and you are no longer a member, please tell me where the surprise is?

I dont really want to comment on life outside associations, but I must admit personally, I'd rather spend time with my family, perhaps drive a cab because that's how I try to feed them, maybe the odd round of golf and obviously playing football hopefully kicking a few cab drivers. Dedicating 365 days 7 days per week to this job, whilst admirable, isnt actually appreciated by anyone, especially those in the taxi trade.

The association you have just taken over were £200 per year members, I'll contact the chap on the email list to confirm he's resigned his membership then if that's the case I'll delete him from the email list; its no big shakes.

I dont really want to comment on results, if however spending £4000 towards legal fees (possibly out of your own pocket) for a success is a sign of victory, I wouldnt want to comprehend what defeat would cost.

Of course, as membership of your association is free, its nice to know such defeats wont cost your members.

regards

well for your information which you already new, i had told the drictor all about it. shall i post the minutes were it was talk about at the drictors meetings, whould you like me to post the e-mail i sent to you and him, clearley saying that by the end of 2008 thing would be in place for payment in 2009. I KEEP ALL E-MAILS HAVE DONE ON DISC SINE I
STARTED.

the Nta WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID THIS YEAR WITH OUT FAIL, BUT IT JUST NOT THAT IS IT. AND I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO RECIVING THE E-MAIL. WHICH WILL COME TO ME. I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS TO TAKE THEN OFF would you like me to post the e-mails asking you.

YOU SEE THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE NTA AND I Q THEY WERE JUST A £200, SOME WOULD BE GRATFUL FOR EVERY PENNEY. my wife is part of the association it is ours and we built it up we run it we are very happey with our lives, she got over 40 drivers of parking fines in 2008 saving the drivers £2,600 pounds.

i spend a lot of time with my familey and we are very happey with what we do. i could have fees i rether not have the problems i could drive if i want, i could go fishing if i want, i could go out drinking if i wanted we like to help other pepole.

You are contradicting yourself;

you said;
Quote:

now you say;
Quote:

Which is it?

You also state you don't drive a cab; without being pedantic, if you don't drive a cab and earn wages, and you don't charge fees, can you tell us how you're going to do it or are doing it, because I'm sure few on here would like to know.

In connection with subscriptions, unfortunately the director or even chairman isn't actually responsible for the collection or any agreements to pay, the administration officer is.

You seem to think membership of the NTA is an individual choice, I'm sorry but that is not the case, its the association that affiliates not the individual.

Perhaps I should also point out that during your association(s) time as a member many consultations have been sent on, yet not a single response was received.

You didn't tell us how you achieved a victory that cost £4000, I take it the driver involved still lost his case and the advice you freely received from the NTA was correct on that point?

regards

I have no doubt there will be many people on here wondering why on earth you went to court on nothing more than a promise and a prayer? Even if you won the case the court weren't obliged to award costs against the council. With all sincerity I have to say that no right minded person would have placed themselves in the position you did. I sympathise with the fact that you are four grand light but with your experiance it should never have happened.

Oddly enough there is a man in York following in your own foot-steps so very soon you could be adding another member to your select club.

I find it admirable that you soak up all the costs of administering these organisations but I wonder how many members you would retain if you charged a membership fee?

I do my wife come to as many meetings as she can and loves it, jordan loves coming to the ranks she gets toffie fruit, and money of the drivers, i will have you a bet i spend more time with my family than you.

WELL AS I SAID BEFORE YOU WHY TOLD AND SO WERE THEY, SO YOU HAVE LOST THEM OVER £3.000 MIND YOU YOU WILL SAY WOULD NEAVER HAVE GOT IT?. MORE LIKE DONT WANT HIM, BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW.

well may be but if a members of that association dose not want to pay his /her £20 not much any one can do. what the NTA THINK IS THAT IF A ASSOCIATION AS 50 MEMBERS ALL FIFTY SHOULD PAY, WELL THAT WOULD BE NICE BUT IN REALITEY DOSE NOT WORK OUT.

NOT MUCH POINT IS THERE WHEN WE WERE CANCLLING MEETING WAS THERE.

BUT YOU MAY LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE ASSOCIATIONS I HAVE DID BUT NOT TO THE NTA.

AS FOR MONEY I WELL LET YOUR MIND WONDER TAKE 2 AND 2 AND MAKE 22. I WILL SAY THIS MY FATHER WAS KILLED IN A rta back in the 70 he was a taxi driver on the morring of the 25th Decenber a drunk grabed the streeing wheel, and then tride to sue us, since then i could care less about money i was born with out it servived from the 70s with out it, pay the bills have little over for wife and child.

i will welcome anyone and make them fell very welcome. and dont forget its you that have lost over £3000 in 2009 2010 not me, and i will be e-mailing the directors well them who are left.
