    • 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.

They didn't supply anything until the court ordered them to in Feb, POC pretty basic stuff, I do owe the amount they are claiming is just arrears, but I know it is in actual fact the entire total debt, I am happy to pay them this amount, dont feel I should because they have been a tad deceitful, but I really dont think I can do this for much longer, its so draining!

If I admit defeat and agree to pay them the amount claimed, they'll only come after me at a later date for the non existing 'balance'

so I have to give it a go really

What exactly do you have to submit tomorrow and have you got the POC handy? I will have to look again tomorrow but if you can provide a brief summary of where this is at?

Please support CAG and they will support you.

If you have a look at the 'split claim' thread, you will see that if you pay the first claim or they win it, they will be breaking the regulations if they come back at you for the balance. You could really hammer them for doing this

Yea, I had a lok through the split claim link you kindly posted last night, but I dont think it is relevant to my case. The claimant claims I owe them £2,***, which is solely arrears, hence why they say they in their witness statement, they didnt have to serve a default notice on me prior to the issue of proceedings, because the account hasnt been terminated, nor are they claiming the full balance.

 

The problem is that I know it is not just arrears but in fact the entire total outstanding balance, and yesterday, I did actually find the default notice received from the original creditor 3 years ago. I cant see anywhere on the claim form relating to the fact that they may claim the 'remaining balance' at a later date, so dont think a split claim is what thery're up to here.

 

I believe (well I know) that they have not sent me a default notice (nor do they know the OC sent one) and when ordered to produce a copy of it by the court, they couldnt, so instead invented the fact that that amount claimed was just arrears and therefore dont have to.

I hope that makes sense, and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, thats the only way I'll learn

Well, I went to the court this morning to file my amended defence, I asked the clerk if she could try and get the paperwork attached to the file before it goes before the judge today, to decide if the extention of time should be granted to the other side, as luck would have it, the judge was just about to look at the case and said, since I was there I just as well go in, as is my right to be present. Thats all I can say at this stage, but it did seem to go well. The extention was granted in order for the claimant to provide documents I know full well they will never be able to do no matter how long they are given. Judge seemed to know only too well, how this bunch work! Lets hope I get him at the next hearing.

I'll keep you posted

Urgent help Please.

 

Im so very sorry I have had to call on you guys for help again, I have spent the last 2 days constantly at the computer trying to put together a witness statement which should have been submitted last friday along with all the documents I wish to rely on at the hearing just over a week away, Im hoping due to my illness the court will be a bit more lenient on me and accept the docs in person tomorrow!

What I need to know tonight if possible please, is The credit card account in question was taken out in 2004, what should the consumer credit agreement contain to make it enforceable in court next week and where can I find it, that would be acceptable to quote from.

I'll break for a headache pill now I think and hope someone gets back to me soon. As a matter of interest Cabot are referring to a 'Reply Card' as the consumer credit agreement Thanks again M

i have limited legal knowledge.........however.......

 

have you checked your CRA to see if this debt exists and what it says?

 

i would not rely on any 'paperwork' errors to get you off this debt if it is yours

 

if a clear financial link exists between you and vanquish, and with what you already have in terms of docs from the OC/DCA/Solicitor ,

 

then i fear the worst here.

Had probably one of the coldest women DJ'S ever! combined with the sweatiest and greasiest Cabot representitive, who in all honesty I should have been able to wipe the floor with he was so pathetic! I was intimadated by the judge and my mind just went blank!

 

I will be well into my 90's before the judgement amount is paid, they didnt get the £3,000 in costs though, so that a bit of a victory for me and Im so glad its all over and done with.

I did say to the DJ, they'll want a CO, she said as long as I maintain payments they cant, but like you say they will anyway, probably wont bother to defend, tried that in the past with my husbands creditors to no avail!

 

The judgement payments work at at around £90 a year, would there be any reason why I couldnt pay the whole years payments in one go, then forget about it till the next payment is due? Any advice on that would be helpful
