    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • Thanks DX,   I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

I passed my driving test in 1986. In 2001, due to my job, I had to send the old style licence back to DVLA and I have a green counterpart with the photo part too.

 

However, my entitlements on the photo card are just B, BE, f,k,l,n,p.

 

Should it not also state C1 and D1 too? Or is it just accepted I am entitled to those groups by virtue of when I passed my test?

 

I say this as the DVLA explain the pre '97 laws but their website states that any new licence issued, as in my circumstance, should state C1 and D1 too.

 

Cheers.

I wouldn't accept anything to do with the DVLA as 'just accepted', or the truth. They are a department of the treasury now and not traffic records, they just say they are.

 

 

Thanks for that Conniff.

 

However, what I mean is that if I was stopped driving a 7.5t and produced my licence to the police, and by them calling DVLA, would it be acceptable that even though my licence states just B, BE, the database would show I passed in 86 so I have the entitlement?

 

Surely if I passed my test back in 86 then there is no doubt I also have these extra entitlements?

Who knows? I have only driven a 7.5 tonner once in the entire time!!

 

I would contact the DVLA for clarification if they can manage that;)

Hmmm, I've tried but it's a bit of a chore just to get to speak to somebody!

 

I will try again anyway-they are open tomorrow.

 

Thanks.

I passed in 1996 not long before all the new rules came in, I had to send my paper licence back for change of address a few years ago so it was a new photo one issued, all my catagories are still there for 7.5 etc. I would contact them and ask for it to be rectified free of charge since its a mistake on their part, saves a lotta hasstle if you get a producer from a cop.

There was a change in classifications, many of them went from a single letter to a X1, where weight limits were restricted. I don;t believe this was in error, it was harmonisation with EU classifications. I think I lost the right to drive 35+cwt vehicles, but it wasn't an issue for me.

ooo hang on though, on the front it says that the license is valid to 13-22-12, surely that is not right, I thought that the license was valid till your 70th birthday?

Yes, that's what mine should read. It allows you to drive up to 7.5t.

 

they wouldn't allow it if they knew me ;):D

I've only driven 7.5t a few times and that was years ago. The job I went for (at an airport) offered a bit of training to get used to 7.5t but they were under the impression I had been driving 7.5t for years, a mix up with another applicant.

 

They looked at my licence and pointed out the missing entitlements, hence, once I get them on, I can commence training.:)

 

It wasn't that my driving was that bad, although obviously rusty, but more the fact that until I can prove I was always entitled to drive 7.5t on a public road the trainer was a bit worried!
