    • 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.

Dont be to quick to judge mkdp/mkrr/tradepro

as i have been in contact with these regarding the debt welcome sold them..

They are a bit worried that i still have all paperwork from when i sent copies to welcome

outlining what i paid out to repair car and the faults with the paperwork

i have now told them i am looking to claim that money back and sue for harassment and maybe a bit more the young girl i am in contact with she is asking why i would do that to mkrr who have just sent 1 letter out(statement of account)

and i told her that they now own the debt so they are the ones in the firing line

and welcome know they have cocked up

as they have already told me they have this paperwork but yesterday they said they never

and when i rang the head office they also have records of phone calls from me going back to 2006 asking for there help to have the car sorted and repaired WHOOPS WELCOME

I had a letter from Welscum, saying they had passed a DISPUTED account to MKDP. However they hadn't got my written consent, which is required under OFT Debt Collection Guidance (2006). Passing the matter to C.A.B to get their opinion.

I NEVER GOT THAT EVEN

They sold my settled debt to mdkp without sending me any notification

CAN THEY DO THAT AND IF NOT WHAT CAN I HAVE THEM FOR

Could there be an element of truth in Bailiff2 thread (Below)?

 

 

I reading these forums and you are all slagging off Welcome Finance. The reason you are all screwing is that YOU are so rubbish in saving money and have the worst credit rating. If you paid your debts in the first place you would be able to get credit elsewhere. I work for Cattles and we refer to you lot as scutters, with a live today-pay tomorrow attitude.

For your info Cattles which is Welcome Finance and is winding up. This means only one thing Accounts that ARE paying - These debt will be sold onto decent banks for collection. Accounts that DONT pay or are in arrears will be passed onto to debt collectionlink3.gif agencies

This bit I will look forward to as you will get more hastle and greef from them. But I will put my wages on it, most of you cop outs will go to debt managment agencies or CAB just like the advert between Trisha tells you too.

 

 

PMSL, they really have no idea just what you are talking about, the assumption that we all used welcome because we did not pay our bills shows how ignorant you are. In our case we used them after a period of unemployment, not a case of wont pay but couldnt pay accounts from the small unemployment benefit, prior to this we never had debt.

 

I stopped paying welcome after I realised their blackmail at an unwarranted gap insurance but at the time a car was needed to take a new job and get back on track, and thats what they prayed on.

 

As for watching Tricia? haha I think they are more likely to see that than me as they may well end up unemployed out of a job and falling victim to the same problems as others on here, but as for me watching it? hmmm I dont think so, a few years on and our lives are very different , really should take their incorrect judgements else where!

We told them to take off the unwarranted gap insurance and charges and we would settle in full straight away, also pointing out we have ALL paperwork to which they concured they have non so can not take further action, however 4 weeks on and no contact from them except statement of account, dont think they know what to do but theres my very resonable offer, They even defalted the account in 2009, yet I have notice dated 2006 so hmmm.

Odd company though, I mean after admitting they have no paperwork and theres nothing they can do to enforce it youd think they would just take the gap insurance and charges off and get over £1000 instantly, I am left scratching my head as to why they wouldnt do so, however despite the fact we pay all our accounts I wont be contacting them again, as for getting more hassle as the welscum worker said, it takes 2 mins to delete any messages and set light to letters, hardly hassle now is it?

 

must cost them more in stamps/phone bills eventually. :)

They just try to bully people

Ask the question why wont they lose the gap insurance..

Because the pound signs are in there eyes and they think they know the law...

There hard burning letters and deleting messages if that is all the training you need then lets apply for a job

i am really good at deleting stuff

and i can easy light a lighter..........

i will apply forthwith

I give up

You give up on what exactly? That no-one has answered a question you haven't asked (as far as I can see) on this thread?

 

However I do notice an inconsistency in what you are saying. You keep saying your debt is settled. Yet in your last post you say that on your agreement it is annotated as "not collectable". Have you actually ever agreed with Welcome a full and final settlement for the debt? Do you have their letter agreeing to that, or a write-off of the debt?

Personally I can't see any lack of fighting spirit!!? If that were the case, there'd be no threads and no replies. Everyone on here is regularly appalled by the behaviour of this abominable company and do all they can to help others.

I do agree that when people get to a crucial stage the advice from some members does seem to peter out. I find this very unfair, it happened to me too. I wanted to take on welcome and thought I was fully supported, but when it came down to it I found some members to not be as good as their word :(

 

This is why I decided to research my case myself so I couldn't be let down by anybody, but I did this by reading other peoples' threads and receiving lots of constructive opinions from other members as well as my best pal, Google! It's the best way forward :)

 

There are countless people on here willing to share their knowledge and fighting spirit, myself included.

 

"Knowing your stuff" is not exclusive to one or two members. We are all learning everyday and as long as we keep on sharing what we learn Welcome will find it increasingly difficult to continue their deceitful ways and get away with it! :D

 

A massive thank you to all those who have been a consistent support to me and others. Keep up the good work and we'll continue paying it forward ;)

I believe the `Fighting Spirit` is Still about!!! All the information needed is somewhere On CAG, you just need to look to find it!!! Of course it is then that opinion of `Some one Who Knows Their Stuff`/ Expert is needed, to show the best way to utilise what you have discovered through that research!!!

 

We need to be mindful that most of the `Experts` started in the very same position of knowing absolutely *UCK ALL! They where at one time in Exactly the same position as Us. Instead of Relying on others they have Done their Research and Enabled themselves to Deal with their Problems. And then realise that the Knowledge they have can Help others.

 

There are also a lot of people who have Gained Enough Knowledge to Help Others and give Limited Advice, who might be looked on as `Experts` by (for want of a better word) `Newbies`, but they Consider Themselves far from the `Expert` level, and can not in all honesty Give Advice they do not know enough about.

 

I for one can only Give from My Own Experiences and what I have learned in my many wanders around CAG, but I would be really Scared of giving advice that was incorrect or mis interpreted, and which eventually led to some thing going terribly wrong !!!

 

What is Important is to Remember is that some of these `Experts` have and Do put in a Lot of Time for Others when they still have Their Own Ongoing Battles, and I am Certain they believe things are Under Control, before they Commit the Help they can give to another another person or cause, at a certain time.

 

In my opinion what can be lacking is Communication between the `Experts` and us `Lesser Mortals`. It may be crucial for someone to know If and When they can expect there to be some Input from a Cagger they consider to be `Expert`!

 

That is not to say they are meant to `Report In`, No one could expect that, but it would be Very Helpful for someone who finds themselves at `Crunch Point` Or Quite Rapidly Approaching a Situation that needs `Specialist Knowledge` Or some Quick Sound Advice from an `Expert`, to know if `Their Expert` is likely to be available at some point, or if they are indeed on much needed and well earned Holidays or if they are Ill.

 

I would say that We Do Actually Worry about Our Fellow Caggers enough to want to know their Status. People would then have no reason or need to keep `Bumping` every 5 Minutes in the hope that their `Expert` will appear with some One Touch, Cure All, Super Answer to their problem,and they would be much more inclined to `Help Themselves` Or to Even listen to the Advice Some one else may be in a position to give.

 

Lack of Communication can cause all sorts of Rumours and Speculation which in turn can effect Morale and can lead to people making Snap Decisions that could wait a while longer, until `Expert` help is available.

 

Communication makes people aware of a situation and enables them to plan and deal with the situation better. I think if people are made aware some how that the `Expert` can or can not make themselves available, may be Ill, on Holiday, Or Otherwise engaged, would also lead to people taking a Much more Pro Active Route to dealing with their problems and Actually Doing some of their own research and may be not just Dissing otherwise Strong Sound advice from some of the lesser known Caggers who do a lot of hard work here in order to help others, therefore lessening the load on the `Experts`. this would also lead to a more`In Depth Data Base` of Knowledge between Caggers!!! :)

 

Sorry about Waffling On!!! I Love you All. Just My Opinion!!!:cool:

 

Cheers, MARK
