    • 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.

Hiya

 

I recently sent all my creditors (5) a CCA request letter from the template here on the forum. As the CAB office has set up agreements for me a year ago I sent the request to the DCA's dealing with my accounts. So far I have only had a response from Moorcroft about 2 of my accounts (1 loan, 1 credit card).

 

Re the credit card they sent my letter and postal order back with a compliments slip saying " please find attached. We are unable to loacte this account. Please can you provide the Moorcroft reference number".

 

The reference I had given them was for my actual credit card from Lloyds. What should I reply to this letter?

 

Re my loan they sent the attached letter. I'm not sure what I should do now?

 

I've not heard from my other creditors yet so I assume I should send dispute letters if I don't hear from them in the time limit?

 

Thanks for your help :)

Yes, send the account in dispute letters from the template library

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...ibed-timescale.

 

As regards to the other letter, is there a Moorcroft reference on their letter? If so re-send it quoting their reference.

 

Loans and credit cards are covered by the CCA, but if any of them were current accounts, overdrafts, mobile phones they are not. You would need to send a prove it letter

The letter is for the loan and basically says that their client (lloyds) can't provide a copy of the signed agreement but there is no point disputing and the debt still stands. It talks about some recent court case where the judge ruled that debt still stands even though no signed agreement.

 

The comp slip sent about the credit card didn't have their reference. They are saying they can't find that account. I pay every month the amount arrange by CAB to them for the caredit card but they can't find that aco**** without moorcroft ref.... i don't know the reference and can't get on my internet banking to find out what it is on there.

This is rubbish. No agreement means they cannot enforce the debt until they provide one . Put the account into dispute and you are not obliged to pay anything while it remains in dispute and they know that. Have they produced a re-constitued agreement? Or a statement of account?

Is there no reference on their origional letters to you?

Re: the credit card

 

I can't find the original letters. Since the CAB set this up for me a year ago I have since moved house and been unemployed yet again and my paperwork is all over the place. I have been looking for the original letters and stuff from the CAb office but not found them yet regarding this particular card. I knew my credit card number so sent that as the reference. I will see if I can get to the bank this week and work out what the reference I use on the payment is. I haven't missed a payment all year from my CAb arrangement.

 

Re the Loan

 

The court case they refer to in their letter is the McGuffick v The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (2009)..They said the judge ruled "although the Consumer Credit Act may render the agreement unenforceable, the agreement remains a valid and subsisting contract and rights and obligations under it continue to exist".

They are misleading you, the DCA's only seem to quote the bits which are favourable to themselves. It used to against the law for them to ask you for payment or trash your credit report when an agreement was not produced. Sadly now it is not.

 

However, even though the OC or the DCA can ask you for payment now, you do not have to pay them as they cannot enforce it. There's a lot more to the McGuffick ruling and the Carey case on this forum. But Moorcroft are deliberately misleading you.

 

When you can scan the letter , then post it up. You probably have grounds for a complaint

The clue in this sentence is unenforceable. They cannot enforce this is court. They can however ask for payment, register defaults (if they haven't already), and update your credit report.

Not a problem, there is sooo much info on this site. Try and read the most recent threads as the law has changed quite a bit since CAG started, so some info can be out of date. There are some great Caggers on this site (who know a lot more than me, im just a novice in comparisson) all of whom have been through all of this and some.

it's difficult to know what to do so this forum is a great help. I'm not denying the debts either. I borrowed them when i was in a very well paid job and could afford them. I was then made redundant and everything went pear shaped and it's been a hellish couple of years trying to get back to normal. I just don't like being threatened by DCAs as if I'm just someone trying to dodge debts when it was circumstance that made me get into this mess. Alot of the debts is interest and charges too I think. If i just paid back what I borrowed orignally then that wouldn't be so bad.

 

I'm unemployed again now though so can't afford even the payments the CAB set up for me last year and i've been waiting a month for my JSA claim to go through so not got a penny as that is taking ages too :(

Sadly, your case is not unusual. I look at that I would of paid the OC back if they had kept the debts and given a little more time. But they sold them to the DCA's, they received a nominal fee and tax relief.

The DCA's are fair game however, no one forced them to buy the debts, they do so out of greed and a lack of morals. They then hound people, make their lives miserable and charge them money they are not entitled to. So I don't loose any sleep over these buggers,

Well looking at your letter, they pretty much know that they can not enforce the debt without it.

 

They are just trying to scare you by telling you that they can still trash your credit file.

 

Your options now are completely up to you. You could not pay them anything and wait six years for the debt to become Statute Barred, unless they come up with the agreement in the mean time. You are still not obligued to pay them until that time.

 

You could wait awhile until you are better off and offer them a full and final settlement in relation to the origional amount (not their charges).

 

When was this card taken out? When was it defaulted? There could be charges that you can reclaim, or missold PPI which will reduce the balance. So it could be worth a SAR request. The default could of been incorrectly served, som there are a few more avenues to go down.

You could reduce this debt down by quite a bit more.

thanks :)

 

So in response to the letter they sent should I sent account in dispute? Or suggest a payment of £1 a month or something? The 14 days isn't actually up yet

 

Wait until the time is up, then send the account in dispute letter. You do not need to pay them anything until they have sent you an agreement.
