    • 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.

Written to MBNA to point out agreement unenforceable due to incorrect prescribed term, but decided to let them work out where there error is rather than pointing it out. Why should I help them?!

 

I have also demanded a refund of interest for the last year as they have failed to send me an annual statement which became law on the 1 October 2008. The legal requirement is, for existing agreements at 1 October 2008, a statement must be sent by 1 October 2009 and then each year. How many people have not had one from MBNA I wonder? According to what I have read, interest can be reclaimed:D.

 

I don't expect them to cough up but I like to cause them more work as they continue to harrass me with unidentified calls and messages despite me telling them to only communicate in writing.

Letter from Global Vantedge (correct spelling-clever name eh!) today. Stopped paying loan as have written to put account in dispute.

The main issue is the passing of information to a company in India where data control is not a strong point. I know they do it all the time, had Aegis onto me re credit cards in the past, but this is flouting rules as usual, surely.

Here it is rondodiver.

 

This should be used by everyone who hasn't had a statement which I'm betting is a huge number.

 

Hope it works for you.

I have posted the same info in a thread on the General Knowledge forum regarding loan agreement annual statements. It does say that the creditor cannot enforce the agreement if an annual statement is not supplied which makes it very powerful.

I have also alerted the site team as I have seen no other info about this on here.

Annoyed that Global Vantedge are now calling my mobile 3 times a day and I believe attempted to call my home number as well.

As Global Vantedge are in India, can I not report MBNA for passing my info outside the UK and EU breaching the Data Protection Act?

Received today a Personal Loan Statement from MBNA. Only 27 days late and it is deliberately undated by MBNA.

On the second page it says 'My Transactions' and talks about a table of payments made, interest charged, etc. Problem is it is blank! The table is not there. So the statement is incomplete.

MBNA's incompetence is truly stunning!

As this agreement is online and from May 2007 (unfortunately for me!), does this make it more difficult to argue about presribed terms being incorrect?

 

Exchange - I think you should investigate this properly. My understanding is that, because your agreement is dated May 2007, even if your prescribed terms are incorrect this doesn't render the agreement irredeemably unenforceable any more.

 

In the earlier CCA legislation if the prescribed terms were missing or mis-stated then even a court could not enforce the agreement.

 

But with the amended CCA that provision was eliminated for all future dated agreements. This means the court CAN order an agreement to be enforced even if prescribed terms are missing or mis-stated.

Thanks Redfish, I realise that, but they would still have to go to court to enforce it. My understanding is that it doesn't take away the fact that prescribed terms should be correct.

It's complicated for them (even more so because MBNA don't seem to have too many braincells between them) as I am not in the UK. Did you look at the new regulations for annual statements?

On the back of mine the table of payments and interest is missing. Have another look to check if it's all there!

There is something called a 'European Order for Payment' which is new this year but it is for debts which are not disputed, so difficult again!

Just had a new statement from MBNA with the missing figures. Still, 3 November isn't the 1 October, is it?

 

They have also acknowledged my complaint and say they will get back to me within 28 days, from......you've guessed it, Gail Powell. Boy, is she busy!

  • 2 weeks later...

Global Vantedge continue to call daily and I am also now getting voice messages left on my mobile by MBNA asking me to call one of their many 01244 numbers. Let's see if they do anything different when they get the telephone harrasement letter.

After sending me a letter in October to say they are investigating my complaint another letter has turned up today (with a second class postmark to a foreign address?) saying they need more time. If they use second class again I won't see it until after Christmas! I wonder if they are waiting for results from test cases?
