    • 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.

Couple of stories;

All this PPI buzz was kind of going over my head as I didn't think it 'applied' to me; yes like some, I had credit and I had credit problems, but had never seen PPI as being on my radar.

 

So, out of the blue last October, I got a letter from BoS, telling me that they had been applying PPI to a credit card account I had through Sainsbury's and as they couldn't find a signed application for it on my account, they had decided that they were going to refund me.

A month later, I got a cheque for £890.00.

 

I then started looking at other accounts I hold and came across an account with Black Horse Finance and their subsidiary Cardif Pinnacle.

Looked on this fine site, found the letter template and sent it off - suitably modified - to BHF. a week later I received a questionnaire which I completed and sent back and today received a letter and an offer in full and final for just over £1100.

 

Not sure if I'm going to accept this - no goodwill or 'consequential' payment - and they took £60.00 in tax from the interest which was something the BoS settlement didn't do.

 

Anyway, thanks for the good advice, letters and general pleasant experience which abounds on the CAG site; I shall be donating from my ill-gotten gains in due course.

 

Many thanks

they can only take tax from the 8% portion, not the rest

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I did, the figures are slightly different - in fact, mine are lower - but the difference was only £20.

 

And yes, they only took the 8% from the interest.

A question, as the BoS settlement didn't take the 8%, do I have to tell the taxman and ante up the tax?

Carried on from 'Successes' at the behest of DX.

Hopefully the mods will cart the rest of my posts over here to save me re-writing them!!

 

Anyway, an update is that I have written to BHF telling them that I like the offer, but am disappointed that they haven't ante'd up any compo.

Letter only went today, so I'll post outcome when it comes.

 

Because the BoS settlement kinda came out of the blue, I didn't realise that compo might be a part of it so didn't ask for it.

Might I go back to them retrospectively and ask for compo?

I've re-read the letter BoS sent and there is no mention of tax being taken, so does that leave it to me to settle with the Inland Revenue?

Hi

 

So with the BHF offer....does it not conform to fos guidelines? What does your spreadsheet come out at?

 

With regard to both of them, what compensation are you looking for? The bank won't offer anything over and above a regulatory based award.

 

All the interest you receive (the 8% bit) must be declared to the tax authorities

As far as compensation is concerned, I'll take anything that is offered; goodwill would be enough.

 

FoS guidelines? Not something I'm overly familiar with, but (oh God) I'm assuming BHF have adhered to them.

There's is 1168, mine are 1184 but that could be a date related thing and for the sake of the odd £20, I'm not overly bothered and mine didn't take into account the tax deducted which was 60 quid (this is BHF).

BoS didn't deduct any tax that they told me about.

  • 3 weeks later...

Just to update this;

BHF offered all the PPI back plus interest but no compensation.

I wrote back to them saying that I wasn't happy that they hadn't offered any compensation, but they wrote back saying 'tough', basically.

So i'm going to try again to them but ante up a letter of complaint to the FOS/FLA. Funnily enough, in their settlement offer letter, they tell me that this complaint can't be dealt with by the FOS as it was issued between 01/12/01 & 31/03/03 and from 14/01/05 onward and that I have to go to the FLA.

However, in their rejection of compensation letter, they tell me I have to go to the FOS if I'm not satisfied....
