    • 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 everyone. I was advised to visit this site by someone on another forum as someone may be able to help me with this.

I had a CCJ against me 5 about 5 years ago which was in dispute (because it was mostly bank charges/fees). Once I wrote to the company querying it and offering reduced payments I didn't hear from them for 41/2 years. It now turns out they have sold the debt to a debt collection company who have got another CCJ for the same debt. I now have 2 CCJs outstanding, doubling my debt. I wrote to the DCA asking for the info on the debt and to hold proceedings for now and they ignored me. I thought the original co. with the CCJ had to go back to court to get payments. This has really messed up my chances of sorting out my life and I am really upset - I have tried so hard to get everything straight with my finances. Does anyone know what I should do?

Sorry for the long post - it seemed to me that lots of people here are very knowledgeable about this sort of thing.

Hi, Nulon, not to panic... were these CCJ's for the same debt? Have you got a copy of both CCJ's?

Hi - I must admit I am panicking!! Yes - they are both definately for the same debt. I have the most recent CCJ from the DCA but not the old one. The new one is from Northampton court.

Do you have the case no etc of the original CCJ? Can you ring up the court and ask for a copy?

Just thought though - the DCA added about 150 pounds in court costs to the original amount. The paperwork (CCJ stuff) from the DCA had the original account number that I incurred the debt on, saying it was assigned to their company.

The bottom line is I do not believe that two CCJ's can be saught on the same right of action. I would be tempted personally to get into contact with the national debt line, and to check this out with them.

 

However, i believe you should be able to do a set aside application relatively easily.

 

There was no legitimate reason to file for a CCJ, as they would have been the judgement creditor for the debt anyway, under ther terms of the assignment.

Thank you so much - I really appreciate your help. So I can ask to have the 2nd CCJ set aside? Should I put the reason why on the form - about the old CCJ or just say that I don't owe the DCA the money at all? Only having one CCJ would really help as I can try to pay one off but can't (and shouldn't have to) pay double. I will pay Barclays (the original CCJ people) if I have to but I still think they put so many charges on 5 years ago that the amount I have to pay is unfair - and when I wrote to them about it they just blanked me and passed on the debt.Thanks again for your help - I feel a bit better now at least I have some hope.

Not sure what this means though!! Is it that Barclays have to keep the debt themselves, not sell it and go to the court to make me pay , not a DCA?

The DCA don't seem to know anything about the CCJ or the debt for that matter other than the account number. They haven't sent me any info and I wrote about two months ago.

No, it means that if Barclays sells the debt, that does not mean the CCJ magically goes away... the DCA would be purchasing the judgement debt.

Try PMing me tomorrow, after you have a chat to the national debt line:) I'll try to write something up for you.

Ah I see. So they MUST know about the CCJ if they have bought the debt from Barclays then. Barclays definately got the CCJ in the first place - it's on my credit file. Why would the DCA take me to court for a new CCJ then??

 

There's no legitimate reason to do this, that I can see. the CCJ was enforceable, and the judgement was already made on the issue.

 

i'd put it down to pure incompetance.
