    • 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.

Hi all. I have just received a rather formal letter from Interim Justica who claim to be acting on behalf of Ebay. The say I owe £46.84 and if I don't pay within 10 days a county court claim will be issued and I will have to pay the following:

Ebay £46.84

Court Fees £20.00

Solicitors Costs £50.00

Total Amount £116.84

I don't owe Ebay anything. They either have the wrong person or it's just a mistake. I have phoned them who told me to contact Ebay. I have had no response from numerous emails to Ebay and the 10 days are nearly up.

I know that they have put bad marks on my credit rating and they refuse to remove them.

Any advice would be fantastically appreciated

Here's what I sent Intrum Justicia when they contacted me about an apparent eBay account:

 

RE: Alleged outstanding eBay account

Reference: xxxxx

Creditor Reference: xxxxx

 

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I am writing in response to your letter (copy included) of 6th October 2006 in which you claim I owe the sum of £30.73 with regards to an eBay account in my name. Please be advised that I do not have an eBay account, nor will I be paying any money to Intrum Justicia or eBay International AG.

 

Please take this as a formal warning that I do not take too kindly to un-solicited letters from companies requesting money. Your letter offers no evidence (nor does it offer to provide any) of any alleged debt/outstanding account. To put my mind at rest, as I’m sure this is all a mis-understanding, I require you furnish me with a signed agreement between eBay and myself that outlines the account you mention.

 

If you cannot/will not supply this information, I will have to make a Data Protection Act 1998 Subject Access Request in order to find out how you obtained my details, and where this alleged “debt” came from. The Subject Access Request is a legal procedure which you, by law, have to follow. I fully intend to carry out this procedure if I find the documentation you supply (at my informal request) fails to address my concerns.

 

At this time - as there is no documentation to support this claim - I am unable to assist with this matter. Please ensure that any future correspondence includes all the relevant documentation – Failure to provide this will result in me having to take legal action as I consider your efforts at money extortion to be tantamount to harassment. Please also be advised that calls to my telephone number (shown above) may be recorded.

 

Due to your lack of signed documentation between myself and the original creditor, you may formally consider this “debt” in dispute – and as such, you are not permitted to attempt collection of this money without first referring back to the original creditor. If I do not hear from you within 7 days, I shall consider this matter closed and no further correspondence will be entered into.

It's fairly agressive in it's wording, but it gets the message across.

Still waiting, actually... Just outlining to them that you're no pushover is usually enough to make them cough-up some evidence, or slink off into the night. If it really is a simple case of "same name, wrong person", then you have nothing to worry about.

Hi guys!

I am new to the forum but was browsing through when i saw this thread about intrum justicia.

I have had numerous dealings with them, in particular when Virgin Media set them onto us for supposedly failing to pay a bill- when our accounts were still active,the services still being delivered, and the money going out by direct debit!

In my experience with this company,i would strongly suggest to anyone who has dealings with them to stand your ground and fight it out if you believe you have cause to..

They are a debt collection agency amongst other things- and as such they operate as one-threatening letters,uncompasisnate call handlers etc.. whatever it takes to get YOUR money!.

I congratulate the write of the letter within this thread.Its fantastically written and a brilliant counter threat to put the wind up them.

In my experience in the past, these collection companies ppray on peoples ignorance of consumer credit law to get money out of them.In part, their operations include reliance on the naivety that not everyone they threaten will know the law or their options, and as such can be tricked or frightened into paying up.

Whats more, Intrum Justicia was last night featured on BBC Ones Watchdog, over the way that it handled supposed debt collections on behlaf of Brittania Music ltd, the online company which folded earlier this year..

The compaints highlighted within Watchdog are disturbingly identical to the cases highlighted here- Intrum Justicia sending out threatening letters, which contain no proof, or evidence of the debt. This is NOT correct!

And im glad that someone is standing up to them. The letter is FANTASTIC and will warrant a meticulous reply frm the company jobsworths rather than a standard pc generated template letter, which they send out all the time.

I will follow this thread with eagerness for the outcome!

Well done again.

I have just accessed information about Intrum Justica on the web and found this forum so first let me say hi to everyone.

 

Over the last couple of months I have received a number of demands from this company. Like other other forum users I do not owe any money to the companies concerned and I have written to Intrum Justica in strong terms informing them of this.

 

My instinct tells me that this company is using illegal tactics in an attempt to scare people into paying up when they do not owe anything. I suspect strongly that it is a complete con trick. I wonder how many people, particularly the elderly, have fallen for this and paid up out of fear.

 

I have reported the matter to the police.

hi peps, i had an issue with paypal and ebay last year. i sold some wii's and xboxs which i bought in bulk to raise some cash, as we all like to do.

the items were bought by someone which was fine. a few weks went past then i get an email from paypal for a dispute against me saying the items had not been deliverd.

to cut a long story short i was conned and the buyer said he never had them, i deliverd them personaly so didnt get a signiture.

 

i argued with paypal and ebay about this but to no avail. i end up with a letter from the famous intrum justica oweing the buyer the full amount £1800. i had no why of proving that i had deliverd them so had to pay to avoid bailiffs calling which i was threatned with. i have been paying £20 a month for 9 months then when i phoned to make another payment the bill had gone up to £2600. (fell of my chair) they said it was another claim made against me. i dont even have an account anymore with ebay or paypal.

when i questioned this they said contact paypal.....i have done this numerouse times but have heard nothing back.

 

think i might just stop paying and leav it see what happens, what you think?
