    • 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.

Hi all

 

I recently requested from the Halifax a copy of my credit agreement with them (credit card) about 2 months ago. last week they finally sent me a response. In it, they enclosed a standard credit agreement which was just a print out, with no signatures from anyone.

 

They also enclosed a letter stating that this is all they are required to provide under Section 78 of the CCA.

 

I know this is not true and that they need to provide a true signed (by both parties) copy of the agreement. In the meantime, they are still demanding payments from me even though, under Section 78 the debt is unenforcible.

 

Can anyone please give me some direction on how I should proceed from here?

 

Thank you in advance.

Dear xxxxxxxxx

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER:

 

I have this morning **Date** received a copy application form from you.

 

My original Statutory Request to **Bank**, made on **Date** was for a copy of my credit agreement conforming to Section 61 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

**Bank** had a statutory time limit in which to reply with the requested information; that limit expired on **Date** at which point **Bank** entered into Default under Section 78 (6)(a) of the Consumer Credit Act.

 

A further statutory time limit expired on **Date** at which point **Bank** failed to comply with Section 78 (1) and thus committed a criminal offence under Section 78 (6)(b) of the Act.

 

The document I have now received (X days after the second time limit expired) does not comply with the Consumer Credit Act requirements for a Properly Executed Agreement. The Section 78 default alone would render the agreement unenforceable and the incorrect documentation merely confirms the fact.

 

I therefore do not acknowledge any debt to **Bank** and do not consider that I have any obligation to make payments to you.

 

I now consider the matter closed.

 

Your faithfully

Hi,

 

I think the Crminal Offense part was removed under the 2008 revisions - I've been told this now by a few people...May be one to check?

Yes it was repealed with CCA2006, but bear in mind that's a direct quote from '74 regs and is designed to ram the point home. If they want to argue the toss over the differences then let them.

In all honesty it was never used anyway, so was quite pointless.

I didn't say that at all.

They have failed to comply with your CCA request and until such time as they do the debt is in default.

They shouldn't take any further action until such time as they comply with your request.

I took out a Mint credit card in 2003. I requested a copy CC which I received. I beleive the agreement is unenforceable. On the credit agreement they sent it states my credit limit as £4500.00. However on the seperate terms and conditions , unsigned, it shows credit limit as £9400.00. These cannot be the terms and conditions sent with the agreement from 2003. Also they are on a seperate piece of paper, not the reverse of the agreeement. The agreement is not signed my them and it only shows interest rate, the rest is data protection stuff. Also the apr is idfferent to the agreement.

 

Also they applied the £1.00 to my account? Whrer do i go now?

Well, firstly ... you will need to start your own thread, as it will be considered bad form using someone elses thread. Oh, and it means it will confuse issues for the OP as well. Then, so that others here can see whether it's enforceable or not you will need to scan the document, then post it on CAG.

Nothing at all...Just save your payments up if you can - I have just incase..;)...

They obviously are ignoring your letter that states the account is in dispute..So in dispute it stays until they send you an enforceable agreement...:D

 

However, it will probably get sold to a DCA at some point so just let us know when that happens and we can give you a couple of letters to send to them too...

 

But other than that, the onus is on them to respond and until they do you can't do anything - Enjoy the silence my friend...

Hi

Got an update on this

 

 

I've had a reply from Halifax. They have apparently investigated the issues I have raised and they do _not_ accept my following "claims":

That their automated phone system broke any regulations

That calling me every hour from 8am to 9pm is harassment

That the unsigned copy of the credit agreement does not comply with the relevant

They have also enclosed another copy of another unsigned credit agreement plus all statements since I took out this card in 2004.

I have received further correspondence.

 

1 letter saying that I am in arrears. Then 1 letter saying they're taking me to court and then 1 letter basically repeating what their last letter (which I posted about on 11 Dec 2008 in this thread).

 

They have still not provided a signed copy of an agreement, but they have enclosed copies of my credit card statements.

 

Where do I stand with this? Do I have a snowball's chance in court?

 

The phone calls have stopped, so I'm not too bothered about that - I'm just worried about the court. I don't mind going if I know I can win. Is it time for me to find a solicitor?

this should do the trick:-

 

 

Dear Sir or Madam

 

 

On (date) i wrote to you making a request inder the consumer credit act 1974, this request was for you to provide me with a signed true copy of my credit agreement with (name of company).

As you should be aware, when such a request is made, you have 12+2 days in which to respond by providing the document, your deadline for doing this ran out on (date), and, as you have not provided me with the document i requested, i now place this matter into a state of default.

 

You should note that while this matter is in default...

 

You are not allowed to request payment from me, nor am i obliged to make any offer of payment.

You may not add charges or interest to the account for any reason.

You may not attempt to instigate legal action against me.

You may not pass or sell this matter on to another agency.

 

Any attempts by yourselves to pursue any kind of legal action, as described by yourselves in your letter dated (date), will be considered both unlawful and vexatious, and will result in a counter claim being made against you for harassment.

 

Also, having taken legal advice, you should note that until you can provide me with a valid credit agreement, any pursuit of this matter by yourselves is in violation of the administration of justice act 1970 (section 40), and thus is punishable under law.

 

From the date of this letter, any furthur correspondance or attempted contact from yourselves, in whatever form, with regards to this matter is refused until such time as you can provide me with the requested documentation as proof of your right to collect on this alledged debt.

 

 

Goodbye

(print name dont sign)

 

print off, send to them by recorded delivery, they cant do a damn thing, especially take court action against you, as all that would happen would be the judge would ask them to provide a valid CCA, which they wont be able to do, then the claim would be thrown out of court, youd be awarded costs and theyd look very silly.

Post up the agreement they sent you. They only have to send you a 'true' copy of the original agreement and the regulations specifically allow removal of any signatures or other security info. What they have to do is produce in court an identical copy with signatures. Wee need to see the agreement to see if it fails as an agreement on its content with or without signatures.
