    • 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.

As you know I keep score on the DCA's I have binned.

Now I don't count multiple accounts with the same shower, so each of these are unique, separate "companies". Well different letter heads anyway

Bear in mind that this is for a total of 8 accounts between me and the missus and 4 for my brother.

 

Enjoy:

 

In no particular order..

* 1 Lowell

* 2 RED Debt

* 3 Hamptons Legal

* 4 Aktiv Kapital

* 5 Thames Credit

* 6 Wescott

* 7 BCW

* 8 Capquest

* 9 Mercers

* 10 RMA

* 11 NCO

* 12 Credit Security

* 13 Scottish Bureaux

* 14 CL Financial

* 15 Lewis Debt Recovery

* 16 Droyds

* 17 Debt Managers

* 18 Machenzie Hall

* 19 EOS

* 20 Reliable

* 21 DLRS

* 22 Scotcall

* 23 Moorcroft

* 24 Fire

* 25 Cabot

* 26 Ruthbridge

* 27 Direct Legal

* 28 JB Debt Recovery

* 29 Hillesden Security

* 30 Credit Resource Solutions

* 31 Phillips

"Solicitors"

* 1 HL Legal

* 2 HC Cohen

* 3 Golds

* 4 Nelson Guest

* 5 Letham-Locke

* 6 [problem]

 

These are all over the last THREE years, since discovering the joys of charges reclaiming and CCA.

 

Pretty sad really.

I laughed when I seen the length of that list until I started to check off the ones I have dealt with also, more than I realised!

 

I currently have the pleasure of Cabot, Droyds, Lewis, reliable & Cohens.

 

The OFT should take a random cross section of a/c's and follow their journey from DCA to DCA and see just how often their 'guidelines' are followed and ridiculous and widespread this is.

I am in no way a legal advisor and only speak from my own experiences and the helpful advice of those in the same boat! :p

A number of these are DCA A acting for DCA B.

Now as I have already told DCA A to naff off you would of thought they'd get the message

 

Hi Curly, not seen you for a while.

 

So...........................which one came up with the most laughable bullsh*t?

 

David

 

The best one was Phillips acting for BCW who are acting for Thames who are acting for AK on a SB'd debt !!!

Threaten all the usual and then some.

I even called this shower and tore them a new one and finished off by saying I'd see them in court for overt harassment.

Ferguson Vs Britsih Gas makes them run a mile ;)

 

Had a nice grovelling letter of apology from them as well.

 

The next DCA that cross my path, I'll answer their DPA question as Curlyben and see how quickly they run orf...

 

The only one of this list that had me slightly worried was [problem], but seeing that the account is in serious dispute they soon backed off while it was resolved.

Could you name the OC(s) to which they related? As a matter of curiosity?

 

Just for you Bookie I'll do a couple of the more interesting ones:

 

Barclaycard > Mercers > RMA > NCO > Letham-Locke > Alliance One > Credit Security

 

GE Money (store card) > European Collections and investigations > Wescot > Nelson Guest > Thames Credit > Aktiv Kapital > BCW > Philips > BCW > Muckie Hall > Meritforce > BCW

 

Next > Scotcall > Scottish Beaureaux > CL Financial > Lewis > HC Cohen

 

Freemans > EOS > Golds > Wescot > Nelson Guest > Capquest > HL Legal > Wescot

 

 

NO CCA's anywhere in this lot !!!

Dare I asl why [problem] had you worried, as I'm doing battle with them on several fronts:(

Thank you

 

They're the only "real" solicitors out of the whole bunch.

The others are simply Solicitors-For-Hire and completely ignorable.

Admittedly Cohen does have a tenancy of filing court claims before the assignment paperwork is dried and likes to ignore pre-action protocols.

You didn't have Debitas listed.... they are my favourites at the moment, they rang up work after somebody and I gave them another DCAs phone number I had handy as the contact.

 

The list is impressive and I bet each company would blame the next for the 'lack of information' in chasing the debt, 13 x the debt sale fee would possibly mean the original company paid itself back!

Thanks I think:(. Panic levels now up 1 notch

I did have Debitas, but that was before I started this whole adventure.

They happily passed the Cap1 balance to Lowell/Red/Hamptons who I successfully sued for my charges ;)
