    • I googled "prescribed disability" to see where it is defined for the purposes of S.92. I found HMRC's definition, which included deafness. I don't  think anyone is saying deaf people cant drive, though! digging deeper,  Is it that “prescribed disability” (for the purposes of S.88 and S.92) is defined at: The Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1999 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK These Regulations consolidate with amendments the Motor Vehicles (Driving Licences) Regulations 1996...   ….. and sleep apnoea / increased daytime sleepiness is NOT included there directly as a condition but only becomes prescribed under “liability to sudden attacks of disabling giddiness or fainting” (but falling asleep isn't fainting!), so it isn’t defined there as a “prescribed disability”  Yet, under S.92(2)(b) RTA 1988 “ any other disability likely to cause the driving of a vehicle by him in pursuance of a licence to be a source of danger to the public" So (IMHO) sleep apnea / daytime sleepiness MIGHT be a prescribed disability, but only if it causes likelihood of "driving being a source of danger to the public" : which is where meeting / not meeting the medical standard of fitness to drive comes into play?  
    • You can counter a Judges's question on why you didn't respond by pointing out that any company that charges you with stopping at a zebra crossing is likely to be of a criminal mentality and so unlikely to cancel the PCN plus you didn't want to give away any knowledge you had at that time that could allow them to counteract your claim if it went to Court. There are many ways in which you can see off their stupid claim-you will see them in other threads  where our members have been caught by Met at other airports as well as Bristol.  Time and again they take motorists to Court for "NO Stopping" apparently completely forgetting that the have lost doing that because no stopping is prohibitory and cannot form a contract. Yet they keep on issuing PCNs because so many people just pay up . Crazy . You can see what chuckleheads they are when you read their Claim form which is pursuing you as the driver or the keeper. they don't seem to understand that on airport land because of the Bye laws, the keeper is never liable.

    • 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.

Hello fellow claimers

 

I sent my LBA to Barclays on the 20th september and recieved an offer exactly 14 days after. The offer was for £600 when im claiming for £1750. Tossers.

 

I havent been at work since then so havent had access to the internet but i'm just trying to figure out what to do. Obviously i'm not accepting it so shall i just go ahead and start my claim on the moneyclaim site. Or do i need to send a rejection letter aswell. (The one in the templates) I would guess that i need to send the rejection letter first but how long do i give them now? a further 14 days before i do the moneyclaim form?...

 

I don't particularly want to extend the time they have seeing as they probably wont reply to me anyway...but i don't think i can send rejection letter then do money claim form straight after as they may argue that i havent given them enough time to change the offer or whatever, what do you think?

 

god i hope that made sense!

 

Thanks for your help

Jane :)

I think I'm right in saying you could accept their offer and inform them you will be still claiming the rest. That way you have some spare cash, bearing in mind xmas isn't that far away.

Check first though

Hi stick to th time table, they can send you an offer at any time. i would inform them that you accept the cash as a part settlement and that you are continuing to seek the balance.:D

Hi Sparkle

sent a rejection letter asking them for the full amount again,give them 14 days ,they will probably reply saying unfortunately we can come to no agreement,then file to moneyclaim,thats what i did.

 

There's no need to give another 14 days. The LBA was sent on the 20th of September and that clearly states that they have 14 days to comply otherwise you will file at court.

 

You can send the rejection letter and carry on and file for the lot.

 

After I sent the rejection letter, they sent me a letter back expressing their disappointment that I was pursuing them for the full amount but they did not withdraw the offer. It's still there should I wish to settle out of court.

 

You will not get the amount they're offering and claim the rest in court. It's a package deal, all or nothing.

Thanks everyone for your replies...

 

So in a nutshell should i use the template in the library which says:

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/xx

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totalling £1505

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder, with a County Court claim if necessary.

 

My letter before action sent previously indicates that you have until xx/xx/xx to respond before Court action commences. You are reminded that there will be no extension to this timescale.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

or should i reword it slightly?...it also says about the LBA but im guessing as this date has now been and gone that i should delete this part?

Thanks very much for your help

Jane :-)

Thanks for your replies...

 

do i need to include a new schedule of charges in with this letter (i have been charged again since i sent the LBA so i have now added this on, so the figure has gone up by £65 - every little helps!)

 

I have just completly deleted the line: "My letter before action sent previously indicates that you have until xx/xx/xx to respond before Court action commences. You are reminded that there will be no extension to this timescale"

 

I'm going to send this today, is it ok to do my moneyclaim form today aswell?, im concious that im not giving them enough time...actually no f**k em, they've had planty of time.

Hi Jane.

 

It's true the OFT are looking into bank charges however with regards to the banks waiting on the contents of the report, i think they will have quite a wait.

As the OFT indicated that they expect their findings to be released in about 6 months.

Ah i see...

 

Is it likely that things will change once the OFT release their findings?, as in do you think the banks will stop paying out?, sorry i know this is probably a million dollar questoin but i was curious really...i'm trying to speed things up as much as i can as i was worried that the findings might be in the banks favour!

 

Thanks for your reply Argyle :-)

they can't stop paying out - they are only paying out to stop themselves having to go to court which they don't want to do as they would have to disclose the true costs involved in the charges.

Hi Sparkler.

 

Is it likely that things will change once the OFT release their findings?,

 

It could have some bearing on future claims against the banks if the findings of the OFT rule that bank charges are excessive.

i.e Read a thread on Barclaycard someone trying to claim their charges and Barclays reply was they would only accept a claim of the difference between their charges and the OFT's charge of £12.

 

If the same ruling applied to Bank charges then i think it could get quite difficult to claim those £30 charges if the OFT said bank charges should be set at no more than £12.

However what is also interesting if the OFT said charges as they are now are fair where would that leave consumers?:confused:

Personally then i would think you will find that claims against banks would stop.

Yep, I stand corrected:rolleyes:

 

I'm not saying that every offer is still on the table, I read mine which stated that if I wish to reconsider, I should send the form back duly signed.

 

They tend to deal with some claimants differently so it pays to read all correspondence from them carefully.

 

Good Luck

Hi there,

 

i'm filling in the money claim form on line and i have come to the particulars of claim page. Its asking "does or will your claim include any issues under the human rights act 1998"

 

I have no idea what this is or if it is relevant to my claim - im guessing the answer would be no?

 

sorry for being completely thick if the answer is really obvious!

 

Jane

:rolleyes:
