    • 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 guys,

I'm new here and need some help please.

I started to do MCSE+CCNA on October last year and I only have had received an A+ book as well as a workshop from Advent so far. I got my account with Barclays and was paying by DD for a few months and then got my account on hold.

This morning I received a latter from Barclays which explains that I have been in contact with the allocated provider which I have never been !!!!

I had no idea what they were talking about !!

They also said that the hold has been removed and payments now become due in line with terms.

Anyway could anyone help me please here? What should I do? I don't want to go through this course any more.

Has any one taken any legal action or could anyone show me the right direction?

Do you know any solicitors or anyone else to help me with this issue as I don’t know what to do at all L

 

Hi Masoud,

You will have to write a letter to put your account in Dispute there's a template letter if you go back a page here if you put the account in Dispute it will stop BPF from reporting to the CRA's and will freeze the account. or above here there's a letter you can also use just adapt it to your own details

You can also contact consumer direct and CAB for immediate advice

Thanks joyhouk :smile:

 

For anyone that is getting their accounts taken off hold or having to start paying and do not want to accept computeach you must write letter to BPF stating you are placing the account in dispute as they have failed to provide a SUITABLE alternative provider state your reasons why

( plenty in this forum previous pages.)

Report a complaint against BPF to the FOS who will deal with your complant 8 weeks after your first complaint letter to BPF or they may send a letter for you if you haven't done so already.They have been helpful so far.if your 8 weeks are up they give you forms to fill and return to them.

You may also contact Consumer Direct or Citizens Advice Bureau

 

I found this wee list of what can't be done to an account in dispute hope it explains a bit clearer. You can also add this list into your dispute letter to BPF

 

You may not demand any payment on this account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

 

You may not add any further interest or charges to this account.

 

You may not pass this account to any third party. (Credit Reference Agency)

 

You may not register any information in respect of this account with any of the credit reference agencies, any information must be removed immediately.

 

They may not issue a default notice related to this account either...

 

Stick that in there pipe my friend & tell them to choke on it, :lol:

 

Hope this info helps you in some way?

absolutely furious just got off the phone with bpf to extend the interest free period from next month to july like some others have and they point blank refused and said to comence payments on the 7th may. Even spoke to the supervisor who gave me the exact same spiel. told him that I will not reactivate my dd and as far as Im concerned the account is in dispute and I will be seeking legal advice and not continuing my training with computeach as they are not like for like. worst thing is just check my credit score which is now rated good from being poor a year ago so that was a waste of time unsure now whether to ignore payments or to pay it off before the stupid interest takes place and my credit score is affected and claim that back through the courts. what does everyone else think would be the best option.

 

we know how you feel about this.. but I cant help thinking that once they have your money they will drag this out even longer.. they have less incentive to conclude.

 

I waited for Barclays to come up with a alternative provider I told them that I do not concider Computeach as an alternative even if the was the only company left.. I also told them in no circumstances are they (Barclays) to hand over money on my behalf to Computeach... I would rather burn my money than give it to them.

 

I am just in the process now of writing in my first letter.. yes I know its late.. but I hoped that Barclays would have given us more options than they have done.. Computech or Else ? .. they is not acceptable alternatives

No tHElIZARDkING I am not and I take offence at the suggestion.

I am in the same situation as you!!! In fact I have probably spent more than most with my bills still coming in as I have recently spent £250, on a solicitor letter to BPF, whilst also my solicitor seeking advice from a barrister, which will also be an additional charge.

 

Check-out my previous posts, see for your self!

 

I just wanted to know what that new site was about as I have not read all the latest posts at the moment and thought that someone would be able to explain rather than going through the past couple of pages!

Yesterday I finally received a letter from the Financial Ombudsman. They said they are investigating my complaint and will be in contact with Barclays Partner Finance. They also said in the letter that they may take longer than usual because they have received an "usually large" number of complaints. Well done guys! Another nail in the coffin for BPF!

Ok understand that everyone has to be cautious.

 

I hope that one of us get a breakthrough soon, i'm fed up of this waiting game.... I hope when we do win and get our money back we will be paid the intrest that I would of gained having the money in the account.

 

fair enough a4ron i apolgise! but we hav to be suspicious and by the way FUZZBUTT seems to be having success with the no win no fee

Had another email from PKF (I imagine most of you have), which says, "We understand that certain BPF Students may be entitled to make claims under the terms of the CCA". Funny how BPF seem to be the only ones that think the CCA doesn't apply in this case
