    • 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.

Well Mercers showed their ugly face again today, received a nice red letter giving me 48 hours notice (posted 26th June received 1st July) failure to ring them will result a doorstep 'visitor' (again? still waiting for the last one to turn up), perhaps they'll hand deliver my cca?

 

Just going to hand it to TS, OFT & ICO - I've had enough ! ! !

 

Currently dealing with a family bereavement from yesterday, so Mercers can feck off.

Sorry to hear that Beachy, keep your cool with the letters, remember they intend to grind you down with letters/threats/passing the account around...

 

I would just ignore all letters/phone calls from them for a while and take time with your family.

 

All the best.

SF, Shadow & Spam.

 

Thank you all so very much, as I mentioned in the Beer Garden this morning I fully intended to take time away from the forum for a day or so - that was until the postie arrived with Mercers letter.

 

Although it was expected we just lived on prayers & the hope that he would pull through but it wasnt to be, his last few days was spent on a ventilator & following advice from the doctors the family took the painful decision to turn it off.

 

He was an absolute inspiration not only in my life but also that of my brother & sister despite his age was very very active up until this illness took hold. He was the last of my parents generation, I have very fond memories including the day he gave me my first 'driving lesson' down on the farm when I was eight - needless to say the lesson didnt last very long - I could bearly reach the pedals on the tractor. :eek: Ironic really, seeing that I drive for a living!

 

Once again thank you all so very much.

Hi Beachy,

 

Sorry to hear about your loss and I hope you and your OH are getting a chance to have some time to yourselves tonight and tomorrow all being well.

 

Sounds to me like the BC ignore the dispute merry-go-round is ongoing with you also.

 

All has went quiet here this last two days which feels strange! No post and no calls.

 

Even CAP1 has finally stopped calling me since the weekend...must have been my CPR letter to Miss Ellie sent in size 32 font since she has thrice previously ignored it! (or had trouble reading it - must have been illegible and unenforceable then....)

 

Take care of your family and let these buggers wait on you.

Hi Emma,

 

So good to hear from you, hope your well.

 

Thank you for your kind words.

 

On the Mercers front I had a blue envelope from them today, containing a little red card informing me that they will be inspecting our doorstep tomorrow - the mood I'm in at present they will be inspecting the step a little closer then they can imagine!

 

My sister-in-law took Mrs Beachy out for the day but when she got home she said she didnt enjoy being out because all she could think about was someone from Mercers banging on the door - told her before she went out that mercers are nothing and I would deal with them IF they turn (after all I've had first hand experience of a doorstep visitor in the past P2C on behalf of capone).

 

Once again many thanks for your kind words, although we were prepared for the worst it is non the less painful & upsetting.

Well done beachy,

 

Yup could well be a long wait mine has been with the FOS now for 6.5 months and they are only just looking at it now.

 

But remember this any award will include the 8% s69 interest on that my friend is adding on by the day.

 

So a long wait but a good reward at the end of it

 

Regards

SHOOT ! !

 

I've screwed up big time. :-x

 

Just thought I'd play around with the ppi calculator, messed up with BC spreadsheet - used the monthly interest of 1.34% which on one calculation gave me £4.03 from November '02 to May '09 however after finding the APR of 19.9% that calculation gave me £96.76 for the same period.

 

Have I shot myself in the foot or is it not too late to redo the spreadsheet, still no news from either BC or FOS.

Phew! Thanks PF,

 

I could kick myself for that error, after me saying research is power yesterday (red faced now).

 

I'll take your advice & recal. the figures - there will be a massive difference, send with a covering letter to FOS, as you said they have not started their investigation yet so I need to act quick smart.

Redone my spreadsheet - by doing it the proper way has added another £1,800 interest to the claim :eek:

 

Have written an apologetic letter to the FOS concerning my error (blamed Mrs Beachy for distracting me with her vacuuming :D ).

 

Should I send an updated copy to BC or allow the FOS that privilage?

 

Already been successful with a claim against Barclays using the same mis selling reasons & without the need to involve the FOS, so hopefully should get a result.

No need to contact barclaycard over this as you are now dealing with the fos and barclaycard could not resolve the complaint in the first instance.

:eek: Mercers have sent a third DN this year for the same arrears, and its only July (again not in the prescribed manner & sent by second class post - in a seperate envelope I been given 48hours to ring them (already expired - letter written four days ago and sent second class), failure to ring MAY result in a local collector calling at my home (not again - they never turned up).

barclaycard should not be entering into any dialog with you now as the fos is handling your complaint so everything from u and them has to go via the FOS PF

With regard to my last post, not only are Mercers still trying to beat True Call, sending a third DN for the same account/arrears and a third '48 hr Notice' or a doorstep collector will visit, I have just printed off my weekly True Call log & notice that Calders have been making calls as well.

 

3 defective DN's for the same account

 

3 x 48hr notice or you'll get a visit

 

2 x dca's chasing the same account (I know their all BC really)

 

TS dont give a toss

 

In my favour :-

 

No cca

non compliance of SAR

PPI reclaim with FOS £5,000
