    • Thanks all. Think I have come to a plan dx please correct me if I am getting you wrong but I am going to go down the route you suggest. simply stop payments for now until I receive a DN and it gets marked on my file. Then contact each lender and start making token payments to each one. i then assume most like they will then at some point sell to DCA. Once they are sold I’ll be coming back to see how best I deal with it.  Let me know if I am making some error in judgment or missing anything with my plan 
    • while politicians trough at subsidised bars and canteens, claim thousaands in expenses while letting out their properties and tories vote to leave UK children hungry That ALL needs to stop
    • J&P Credit Solutions are specialists on debt recovery. Either way they seem to be swapping between the JandP and IDR whatever their exact definitions are.
    • Primary and secondary teachers are supporting pupils with their own money, buying food and warm clothing. Eight in 10 primary teachers in England spending own money to help pupils | Education | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Increasing numbers of children hungry and lack adequate clothing, with two-thirds of secondary teachers also supporting pupils  
    • 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?

    • 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.

my husband has a current account with the halifax and an overdraft.in the past 2 months we have had £240.00 charges without including previous charges from the last 6 years.

are we still able to try and reclaim the charges,even though the bank has made the direct debit etc;sometimes a matter of a few pence over.as i am concerned that if we try to claim the charges back,their argument would be that they made the payments anyway.

please help,as i have just joined this forum

last week ,we incurred £90.00 of charges.on querying them by e-mail on logging onto our account online,i received the following e-mail back from their online helpdesk

=

thank you for your e-mail dated 1st march 2006

please accept my apologies for the inconvenience that this charge may have caused you.i am aware that charges are an issue that many customers feel strongly about.i can also understand that charges automatically applied to your account may sometimes seem a little excessive,however the fee reflects the administration and processing costs involved.

 

 

in order to assist you further,please contact bank accounts on 08457203040.our lines are open 24 hrs a day,7 days a week.

 

i trust this matter will be resolved by one of my colleagues regards

(blah!blah!blah!)

 

does this mean that the administration and processing costs were manual?

No, it means they don't know whether they're coming or going: "automatically" & "administration and processing costs involved" in 1 sentence? Boy, I'd like to see them try prove THAT one! :evil:

 

I like the semantic evasion: "however the fee reflects the administration and processing costs involved. " Note the "the fee reflects". Not "the fee accurately reflects", no.

Hi, i sent a request letter to halifax for 2 a/cs and enclosed 2 chqs for £10 each. They sent i chq back to me and kept the other. Apparently you only need 1 chq for £10 for each bank not each a/c (Maximum fee is £10). Are they charging £5 per a/c? I was reading another thread earlier and they were charged £15 in total for 3 a/cs. very confusing!

I have recieved statements for 1 a/c but not the other. 40 days run out on Sunday! Wonder if they will arrive tomorrow?!!

received statements yesterday(1/08/06.sorry only now have i had time to post).

problem is ,statements sent are only backdated to October 2004. I have no idea if we had incurred charges before this date.Should i write and ask if they would send the remaining statements,or are the charges shown on the statements I received,the only ones we incurred,as requested by the D P A letter?

Total of charges =3345.00

Hi Maggie,

Did you request 6 years worth of statements? If you did you should ring them and ask for the rest. Or they may arrive in the post tomorrow-mine arrived in about 42 envelopes!!(They did all arive together though)

Good Luck

Nona
