    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".  
    • Anyway, I've asked my Booking.com flat-rent-out-bloke what needs to be done on the Booking.com portal to cancel a reservation. I got a late message "I'll let you know tomorrow".
    • I see that at the start of your thread you said they hadn't sent a Letter of Claim.  And in fact in all the uploaded material there is no LoC.  This is great news.  Even were you to lose - you won't - the judge would chop off a chunk of the money for their non-respect of PAPLOC. However, I'm a bit confused as you've named the file name as a SAR.  Are you sure about this?  Did you send any other letters apart from the one dx advised which was a CPR request (not a SAR) to DCBL (not Group Nexus).  I'm not being pernickety, this will be important for your Witness Statement further down the line.

    • 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 people,

 

I made the decision to reject the car and ask for a refund. The car is presently at Bedford Landrover in thier compound. Ive informed Luton Landrover (the dealer it was purchased from) of my decision to a ask for a refund. Ihave been told that I have to speak to the Regional Sales Director on monday. Conveiniently, no one in sales was available today.

 

Anyway, as mentioned before, £4500 is on finance and the other £6000 was paid to LR.

 

Can someone advise me as to how I approach the whole refund situation?

Obviously Ill tell the Sales Director of my decision, but what do I do regards the finance company. Do I tell them before the Sales director? Do I write to them?

 

How does this process work? I dont know where to start.

 

Do I also have to put everything in writing to the Sales Director(luton)?

Do I have to explain all the events that have occured and why Im rejecting it?

 

The ironic thing about all of this is that the last thing Luton LR said to me is that they are now willing to pick the car up and fix everything at thier own cost.

 

Too little too late in my opinion. What if something else goes wrong? Ive lost all faith in them. Just imagine if I hadnt of spotted the leak and the engine seized or something else just as bad. What would happen then? New engine?!...more phonecalls...and so on....it would have been 100 times worse!

 

Gotta say, the Bedford LR Garage have acted brilliantly and tried to do everything to help - both myself and even tried to help Luton to find a solution, but they was having none of it.

 

Any help on the process of this refund procedure would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Put your decision in writing to them & give your reasons for rejection whilst at the same time placing deadline of say 7 days on a refund as you need to purchase another vehicle.

 

Therefore advise them if they fail to refund your money promptly you my have to ask for compensation because you will be forced to hire a vehicle to meet your daily needs

 

Send copies to the FC but don't stop the payments until it's agreed you can & once done demand a refund

 

It's vitally important that you stick to the golden rule & put everything in writing & if they do phone write back confirming any matters discussed or agreed

SD80,

Don't ask anymore questions reject the vehicle in writing to all parties involved in the original purchase also explain reason for rejection backed up by engineers report and your own account along with any other correspondance and a diary of events finally tell them location of car and if you have another set of keys drop them in by hand to dealer principal of supplying dealer. Do not enter into further correspondance and do not cancel direct debit if on credit until you have spoken to finance house as this could compromise your credit file. You may also claim any expenses you have accumalated in this episode... Good luck YOU WILL SUCCEED the law backs you up 100%

  • 2 weeks later...

I will agree... my mum is on her second CRv now starting with the 04 shape and now on the latest model...not a SINGLE problem in either car despite her being lazy and missing almost two services on the first one

 

Second one I am making sure she does get it done but its just so reliable!

Looks good too and has a kick to it

 

If you do get one, I can twist hands in a branch up north for some discount so let me know :)
