    • 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.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

The total claim will include fees and some interest although I thought that was 8%.

 

Getting the CCA request off could slow things down although I would also be writing asking for the details of the debt . I would be nice and civil saying something like you are not sure what the account is but if they can tell you , should it prove to be yours , you will want to make an arrangement.

 

I know very little about BR but should you actually get that SD while the CCA is outstanding you should be able to get it set aside

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Ok, I have done the CCA letter to Cabot, I will now write a letter to WrightHassall Solicitors explaining that I do not know what debt they are referring to as it only names JDWilliams (no account number, or catalogue company) and my name.

 

 

Am I able to email their Litigation email address and does that constitute as a legal document like a paper letter would?

 

 

I usually deal with my debts by just paying what I consider a sustainable figure monthly, every month by standing order, without negotiation with the DCA. In the end they usually give up protesting as the debt is near paid. Is that a good way to deal with it or should I negotiate in future with them, I just don't want to end up using all my available money and would rather be an affordable reliable amount.

I would not be starting letter tennis with WH.

 

just do the CCA request

 

as you should be doing with ALL the debts you pay.

If I need to get a letter urgently I usually email them from a non primary email address and say that there is a hard copy in the post. I know some DCA's refuse to deal with emails unless they have that as your confirmed email address.

 

If you have a look at NDL and my moneysteps that allows you to do a budget with prorata payments in it. DCA's will often argue and whilst there is no reason that you must send an I&E to be honest in my opinion, if you can make it work for you then why not do it.

 

https://nedcab.cabmoney.org.uk/quickfs.asp

 

That link is also quite good as I think it gives acceptable amounts for each category although I am sure NDL would help you with the advice on what amounts are acceptable . I know that I spend far less on food than is "allowed" but slightly more on telephone . Equally I do not need a TV licence but I include it as I may do at any time. So long as your figures are within what they class as acceptable you are ok, if they are higher , give the reason....it might be you travel 75 miles each way to work and thus your travel costs will be high

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Again IMO the priority here for now is to avoid that SD . As this account was opened online after April 2007 there is little doubt it will be enforceable unless technicalities can be found such as faulty DN's etc.

Typical threat, see bold bit.

 

No idea if its on my file I gave up years ago bothering with that.

 

Debt is originally JDwilliams.

It is around £2500.

 

Debt being chased by Cabot who have handed it to WrightHassall solicitors.

 

Solicitors sent me a letter saying they have been instructed by their clients to review my case

with a view to serving me with a bankruptcy petition and obtaining a bankruptcy order.

 

The letter ends with I have 14 days to contact or they will issue a Statutory Demand.

 

Taken me back a bit to be honest,

 

I am tackling my debts but one or two at a time,

 

mostly when at court so its fixed in stone.

 

Bit worried I could lose everything now :-(

Maybe , maybe not.

 

Need some evidence that they are not just idle threats. Do we know how many have been issued and not followed through with or is it too early to say yet?

 

They really are quite specific threats, no may do x,y,z...just may make you BR. The may is of course their get out clause should they decide not to.

 

I am still of the opinion that getting the CCA request off is the best route forward and if it is a post 2007 debt to get them to clarify exactly what the debt is

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
