    • Hi Sorry for the delay in getting back to you The email excuse and I do say excuse to add to your account and if court decide LL can't recoup costs will be removed is a joke. So I would Ask them: Ask them to provide you with the exact terms within your Tenancy Agreement that allows them to add these Court Fees to your Account before it has been decided in Court by a Judge. Until the above is answered you require these Court Fees to be removed from your Account (Note: I will all be down to your Tenancy Agreement so have a good look through it to see what if any fees they can add to your account in these circumstances)
    • Thank you for your responses. As requested, some more detail. Please forgive, I'm writing this on my phone which always makes for less than perfect grammar. My Dad tries but English not his 1st language, i'm born and bred in England, a qualified accountant and i often help him with his admin. On this occasion I helped my dad put in his renewal driving licence application around 6 weeks before expiry and with it the disclosure of his sleep apnoea. Once the licence expired I told him to get in touch with his GP, because the DVLA were offering only radio silence at that time (excuses of backlogs When I called to chase up). The GP charged £30 for an opinion letter on his ability to drive based on his medical history- at the time I didn't take a copy of the letter, but I am hoping this will be key evidence that we can rely on as to why s88 applies because in the GP opinion they saw no reason he couldn't drive i need to see the letter again as im going only on memory- we forwarded the letter in a chase up / complaint to the DVLA.  In December, everything went quiet RE the sleep apnoea (i presume his GP had given assurance) but the DVLA noticed there had been a 2nd medical issue in the past, when my father suffered a one off mini stroke 3 years prior. That condition had long been resolved via an operation (on his brain of all places, it was a scary time, but he came through unscathed) and he's never had an issue since. We were able to respond to that query very promptly (within the 14 days) and the next communication was the licence being granted 2 months later. DVLA have been very slow in responding every step of the way.  I realise by not disclosing the mini stroke at the time, and again on renewal (had I known I'd have encouraged it) he was potentially committing an offence, however that is not relevant to the current charge being levied, which is that he was unable to rely on s88 because of a current medical issue (not one that had been resolved). I could be wrong, I'm not a legal expert! The letter is a summons I believe because its a speeding offence (59 in a temp roadworks 50 limit on the A1, ironically whist driving up to visit me). We pleaded guilty to the speeding but not guilty to the s87.  DVLA always confirmed to me on the phone that the licence had not been revoked and that he "May" be able to continue to drive. They also confirmed in writing, but the letter explains the DVLA offer no opinion on the matter and that its up to the driver to seek legal advice. I'll take the advice to contact DVLA medical group. I'm going to contact the GP to make sure they received the SAR request for data, and make it clear we need to see a copy of the opinion letter. In terms of whether to continue to fight this, or to continue with the defence, do we have any idea of the potential consequences of either option? Thanks all
    • stopping payments until a DN arrives does not equal automatic sale to a DCA...if you resume payments after the DN.  
    • Sleep apnoea: used to require the condition  to be “completely” controlled Sometime before June 2013 DVLA changed it to "adequately" controlled. I have to disagree with MitM regarding the effect of informing DVLA and S.88 A diagnosis of sleep apnoea doesn't mean a licence wont be granted, and, indeed, here it was. If the father sought medical advice (did he?) : this is precisely where S.88 applies https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64edcf3a13ae1500116e2f5d/inf1886-can-i-drive-while-my-application-is-with-dvla.pdf p.4 for “new medical condition” It is shakier ground if the opinion of a healthcare professional wasn’t sought. in that case it is on the driver to state they believed they met the medical standard to drive. However, the fact the licence was then later granted can be used to be persuasive that the driver’s belief they met the standard was correct. What was the other condition? And, just to confirm, at no point did DVLA say the licence was revoked / application refused? I’d be asking DVLA Drivers’ Medical Group why they believe S.88 doesn’t apply. S.88 only applies for the UK, incidentally. If your licence has expired and you meet the conditions for S.88 you can drive in the U.K., but not outside the U.K.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Actually, I suggested it, so feel free to blame me - thought it might freak out users trying to get their debt problems sorted, especially the new ones. this part of the forum isn't really the place to discuss site politics, IMO.

 

Would perhaps suggest starting this thread again in the bear garden so that it doesn't detract from the serious debt issues if you want to discuss.

 

Peace & Love

Hello Nuke em

 

i can understand why you would ask, but the thing is Richard Spud Decided to refrain from posting on the CAG for reasons which are only apparently known to him.

 

the thing is i would personally leave it at that, if there is any help that you need with a particular problem you have then by all means ask away, the people on here are only too happy to help

 

 

kind regards

paul

Yes it might freak users out, especially newbies (like me) 'cos CAG seems to have lost 2 excellent posters/advice givers here which cant be good for the "debting masses"

 

Instead of closing it down why not just have it moved to wherever you think it should be...bear garden etc

Firstly, I did like laiste, and Richard Spud. However, users do leave forums for a variety of reasons.

 

Richard left for his own reasons. He chose not to go into any great detail, although it is commonly believed that there were certain members behind the scenes who suspected his motives.

 

I do sympathise with him. ocassionally when I give advice - sometimes, even after someone specifically requests help - people have been very suspicious about my motives.

 

Heck, one user acused me of being a DCA stooge... quite funny, really.

 

While Richard was here, he was a great help.

 

I don't know why CAG banned Laiste- it really isn't my business. And, frankly, unless Laiste choses to make the reasons public, it isn't anyone elses either. CAG has every right to ban users, for any reason it choses to.

 

I really don't see why anyone would restart a thread after it was already closed down. If you had a problem with that, you should have PM'd the moderator with your question.

 

I vote that this thread should be closed down.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

I didnt re start a thread, i started a new thread to ask [in public] if it could be explained why a given thread was shut down

 

And if it makes people happier, This thread can now be shut down as well !?

or moved to the bear garden of course

Ok nuke em, no-ones objecting to your freedom of speech - just perhaps restart here:

 

The Bear Garden

 

There's been too much of this tonight, it isn't helping and it isn't what this part of this site is about.

 

If you want the thread closed, as OP you can PM a mod to ask them to do it for you.

 

But let's all calm down, get some perspective and realise the previous thread was closed by Mods (with or without my suggestion) because they felt there wasn't anything else they could say on the matter and it wasn't in the appropriate place - if you want to, please post in the appropriate place. They obviously can't be drawn on individual cases as that would be unfair to the person removed from CAG.

 

I actually moderate a professinal website and I don't know enough about this case to comment (and wouldn't if I did) but I know that on the website I moderate Laiste's actions would have been construed as soliciting for business and therefore not allowed. I'm not commenting on any of the action taken, but trying to give a completely dispassionate view.

 

Let's put it to bed or move it to where it belongs now - what do you say chaps?
