    • 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.

Do you know if any charges have been added to the account?

 

Have you received a Notice of Assignment?

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Hi

 

My partner is being chased by "RESPONSE" for a £56.85 Sky debt. This goes back about 18 months. I did do a CCA request way back and never heard anything then it seems they sold it on to Response.

 

Not sure if CCA applies to Sky though, had no Notice of Assignment either. Another letter going their way today.

 

Sky are terrible they overcharged us more than £300.00 in a year, finally got it back, as for their £56.85 they can go whistle!!!

 

S.B.

A CCA request wouldn't apply to your Sky account, however there are other ways of disputing the amount claimed as owed such as reclaiming charges on the account and reclaiming any billing they have applied when no service has been provided.

 

Also you should receive some form of notice of assignment as realistically I could just fish your details out of the bin and send you a letter stating that you owe me money. It wouldn't mean that you do or that I have any right to collect it.

Maybe Rory could answer that one for us please?

 

I have checked my paperwork and I actually requested a copy of the service agreement not the CCA.

 

Got a bee in my bonnet today so put a reply to RESPONSE CREDIT together, not very official but I think it gets the point across. All for £56.85!!!! Think I am hormonal today!!

SKY'S NEW TATIC THIS EVENING!!!!!

 

Sorry don't want to hijack this post but thought I'd let everyone of our call from Sky tonight!!!!

 

They have obviously received our letter see post #13(via their DCA) ~

 

They asked the necessary, partner wanted to talk to them, and then go on to say how they will cancel the existing debt if we decide to go back with them for our tv package.......lolololololololol.

 

As if, after all the inflated charges and problems we had with them...2 words NO CHANCE!!!! Funny thing was my partner asked for 5 mins to decide and they said that the offer to cancel the debt(alleged) only applied NOW..not even a 5 min grace.

 

Just wanted you all to be on your guard.

 

Has anyone else heard of this one???

 

S..B.

Sky do seem to be on a bit of a mission today.

 

Had a nice chap on earlier regarding the £78 disputed charges on our account, I'd threatened to cancel the contract citing a breach on their behalf.

 

Within 15 minutes we have had the entire balance wiped out to zero.

Three months HD film and skysports package added at no cost.

Next months services bill (HD+, second box, broadband, telephone line rental and call anytime package) wiped out to zero.

The following months broadband wiped to zero.

And get this.....

12 months talk anytime service charges wiped out. No service charge until April 2010

 

Quite a pretty pennies worth of services there for nothing.

 

 

Sky seem that desperate for new business that they have wiped literally £100's of our bill just to stop me from cancelling the order.

 

In summary they appear vulnerable at the moment and very keen for custom, so keen that they'll press the neccesary buttons almost before you even ask so if anyone has an outstanding issue with them it might be a good time to get in touch.:rolleyes:

You have the right to food money.

If you don't mind a little investigation, humiliation, and if you cross your fingers rehabilitation..............

Sorry, not with you on that one. Mine was a serious question, I have letters from Sky where they quote CCA 1974, I just wondered why CCA requests don't apply to them.

 

 

Right, apologies all round here I'm afraid. It had just dawned on me (call me thick if you like) that you're talking about Sky, as in satellite TV, I was talking about Sky as in Credit Card, that's why I couldn't understand why CCA didn't apply to them, serves me right for not reading the threads properly.

To be frank, they could offer all the tea in China, I would defo not go back to them after being overcharged more than £300.00 in a year, leaves me with no faith in their company!!!

 

Good Luck

Just to note sky do actually send you the letters stating they are passing to dca and are supplied with the sar.

With the credit crunch and more and more people having to tighten their belts I suppose Sky multi-packages will be looked on as an unnecessary luxury and either cancelled or dropped to a cheaper package.
