    • 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.

Just had yet another letter from our friends at Robinsons Way, a very bland affair I might add:

 

"You have not paid the sum you owe. Until it is paid your account will not be closed, but may stay registered as an unpaid debt in your name. This may adversely affect your credit rating.

 

We urge you to settle your account - now - and clear this up once and for all

 

Ring us today ........... we may agree a special settlement figure you can pay to clear your account."

not completed

There is no such thing as a 0% credit card....... someone out there is paying for it, and for once its not going to be me.:razz:

Another threatogram from Robinsons, but no offer, what should I do?

 

Notice of intended legal action

 

Your debt is still unpaid in spite of previous letters, and calls. YOur account may be passed to our solicitors for legal action to be taken.

 

WITHIN THE NEXT 10 DAYS YOUR ACCOUNT MAY BE SENT TO SOLICITORS AND IMMEDIATE LEGAL ACTION MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU.

 

If you prefer to avoid legal action, call or write to us without delay and we can agree a payment plan with you.

 

 

etc

 

 

Please advise what I should do??? :(

hi

it looks like their previous letter was maybe indicating some kind of possible reduction offer available, ie '....we may agree a special settlement figure to clear the account'?

it does seem that the above letter is a threatogram - they 'may' do this and that. looks like they are coming to the end of their 'activity', and there may be a final 'contact us' type letter to come.

imo.

so do you think an offer in writing by them could be on its way

 

not sure tbh. the wording of your letter in post #206 is v much the same as the template letter offering a % reduction in settlement, except there was a paragraph about this. the 'Notice of Intended.....' threatog. was next.

hi. no, no calls. looks like the 'in writing only' proved effective, surprisingly! their letters are templates, regardless of whether there have been calls or not. from their previous template letter, it 'may' be that they are open to some kind of reduction in settlement (as per consult'n/instructions from the o/c)? maybe a ploy to get one to ring them perhaps? rather than now actually offering a specific reduction? as suggested, there may be at least one more letter to come. as robbers are 'collecting' (is that correct?), then if they don't 'agree' anything with you, it will go back to loyds. loyds will probably then either; pass it on to another dca to 'collect', sell it, or start litigation. depending on the circumstances. don't forget that you can make an offer if you want to try for a settlement.

IMO.

Thanks Ford

TBH I would like to start the ball rolling on a F&F, but dont know how to start without admitting the debt etc. Also I am reluctant to pay any of the interest and fees acrued whilst being in dispute. If they would deduct them I could potentially offer xx% max. Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.

hi

an offer can be made 'without prejudice' and 'ex gratia', without admitting liability.

what interest has been applied? did they not stop the 'contractual' interest after 'termination'?

have you had any further correspondence from them since their litigation threato?

imo.

Hi Ford, yes they stopped interest at termination, but not at the point of dispute which was about 9 months. Therefore they were applying interest whilst we were arguing over the lack of an agreement and default fees.

Hi all

 

Just received this from Robbinsons Way:

 

"****SPECIAL INVITATION *** SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTION ****SPECIAL INVITATION

 

Our client has today authorised us to offer you a substantial reduction to help you clear this debt.

 

CALL 0800 78 3417 TODAY TO FIND OUT WHAT DISCOUNT IS ON OFFER TO YOU

THIS OFFER IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO YOU FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS

 

If settling your account is not currently within your means, you must still contact us to agree a repayment plan; we are wiling to accept a minimum of £30.00 per month, but you must contact us - without delay. if you do not wish to talk to us, you can log onto our website at www.robway.co.uk to pay or make an alternative payment offer.

Just had my first letter from Horwich Farrelly. Yes I know its desk next to the guy that was previously sending me the letters. I think they are playing good cop, bad cop....

 

"We may advise our client to commence COurt action against you as a result of your failure to settle this account.

 

Even at this late stage ou can avoid COurt action by making payment to us, or by making a proposal for payment you can afford.

 

If you wish to make a payment proposal, please set out a simple statement of our means and any circumstances you wish us to consider.

 

If you have any queries, please call us, or our client Robinsons Way on 0845605 1366 to agree an affordable payment arrangement".

 

Whatever happened to my Special Invitation before xmas???? and since when was Robinsons Way their client? Their client "RW" has no NOA and therefore cannot do anything surely?

 

 

Advice anyone? Still tempted to make an offer, but a little afraid of them playing dirty.

imo, the contents of their previous 'invite' letter would still stand? ps. it could be that the 'client' they are referring to is the O/C?

HELP

 

Letter dated 31st Dec, just received today!!!! from LTSB

 

"I feel it is important to let you know that our agents have been in touch with us in connection with your account. They say that they have been unable to agree a repayment programme and suggest we take legal action against you.

 

You can prevent us taking legal action by paying off the full outstanding balance of this account within 10 days.

 

If you are unable to sent payment in full, please complete and return the questionnaire overleaf to enable us to assess your financial situation."

 

 

 

So much for the 30 days and special invitation then, or could this be an attempt to make me get in touch with them? What should I do?
