    • 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.

hi

don't bother sending lba through post, print 2 copys and take them into local branch, get them to date stamp and sign both, have an envelope with address on and leave 1 copy with them to go through their internal mail. it's cheaper this way and you have proof of delivery and the clock starts ticking straight away,

Could do, but it does'nt really matter either way. All the charges complaint correspondance goes through 'customer care' in Birmingham anyway.

Received this today. Bit concerned about this especially as I didn't mention credit card defaults -

 

Dear Carrera74

Thank you for getting in touch with us. I am sorry you are unhappy over your account charges.

Like any business, we do make a charge for some of our extra services. When a customer doesn’t have enough in their account to cover a payment, this always means additional work. We must either make the payment for you via an overdraft or send the payment request back. Either way, it has to happen speedily. We feel it’s only fair to charge for the extra work involved.

Of course it is only fair, too, that we’re completely open about any charged-for services before you take them up. That’s why we take care to provide every new customer with the latest guide to our charges. You can also get up-to-date details about fees and borrowing rates at all our branches, via our helpline and on our website.

Just as importantly, we do everything we can to help our customers avoid charges altogether.

I’m sure you’ll know how easy it is to keep a running check on how much is in your account. You’re free to get an up-to-date balance at any of our cash machines, over the phone, online and nowadays even by text to your mobile.

If you know a payment is going to take you over the limit, you’re welcome to see if we can raise your limit - and we can usually give you an answer straightaway. You might know, too, that we don’t usually charge fees if it’s the first day in 12 months that you’ve gone overdrawn without agreeing it with us beforehand. And we never charge an overdraft excess fee more than three times in any one month, however many times you go over your limit.

You’ve mentioned the new guidelines from the Office of Fair Trading on credit card default charges. We don’t’ agree with the OFT’s thinking on this and we’re still talking it through with them. But the important point is that the guidelines only concern ‘default’ charges. The fees we charge for going over an overdraft limit and for returned payments are not any kind of default penalty. They are fixed standard prices for the service we provide in these situations. So according to our legal experts, the OFT’s guidelines on credit card default charges to not in any way apply.

I do hope you can see that we make our charging system as fair as possible - and why I cannot agree to cancel your charges.

This letter is the bank’s final response, which means that if you remain dissatisfied you may refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. If you decide to pursue your complaint through the Financial Ombudsman Service you must do so within 6 months from the date of this letter. I have enclosed their leaflet that outlines how to contact them.

Thank you once again for taking the time to raise your concerns with us.

Yours sincerely

Howard Callanan

Send them a letter telling them you're happy to accept these charges *if* they are truely representing the cost to them for your breach. Then ask them to give you a detailed breakdown of how these "costs" are worked.

 

Then restart your clock :p

 

Since all banks seem to be unwilling to prove that the charges are true reflections of the costs they incur (I wonder why! :D), this letter should shut them up.

 

Ofc if they DO provide a breakdown of their costs, I'm sure we'll all be thrilled to see them!

Although these are all good points, to send a further letter would be a complete and utter waste of time and paper. The prelim in the templates already asks for a disclosure of their true costs, and to start the timetable again is playing straight into Lloyds hands and ultimately would only cause you another months delay. Why enter into a protracted exchange of correspondance? The response would be the same. Lloyds simply won't pay up untill you file a court claim and the quickest and most effective path to that stage is prelim then 14 days, LBA then 14 days, then file a claim. To delay the pre-litigation period is pointless.

Oops I didn't mean restart the clock as in from the beginning, but to send the letter then continue the countdown from where it paused. Sorry for the confusion.

 

The point being that this would show that they are the ones slowing the process down, not us.

Oh, ok fair enough. Even so though, there still is'nt any point sending any further letters. Lloyds would dismiss it as they do with any letter regarding charge complaints. The prelim and LBA are worded specifically to cover all the necessary bases prior to litigation.

Help with Letter Before Action :(

 

Am I okay to just delete this bit of the LBA "I am very disappointed that you have failed to respond to my letter of the 9 October 2006" and replace it with something like "Further to your letter dated 4 November" or do I need to re-word the whole letter?

 

I'm worried I'm going to trip up and make a mistake so just want to be really careful :confused:

I was scared off by the TSB claim that went in the banks favour but have decided to go for it. I've nothing to lose! I'm getting very confused reading up again. It's been a while since I've been on here so going to read up loads this weekend and get my form sent off to court.

 

Wish me luck! :)

As I sent the letter before action off back in January do I need to do anything else before I fill in the form at Moneyclaim? I'm a bit worried that it's been that long since me giving them 14 days and then going to claim that they can use that against me.

 

I have been looking around here and through my paperwork and I am confusing myself no end :(

I've just double checked through my statements and have found another £80 worth of charges. Should I just add these onto the spreadsheet and send with my LBA? Or stick to the original amount I asked for in my last letter before action back in January? Sorry to sound dumb, I just want to get this right :(
