    • 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 am currently paying Lowell for a defaulted vanquish credit card debt.

(No issues there really, I owe it and pay less to Lowell than vanquish with no interest)

 

However Lowell have now decided to add that I am in default with them via the credit reference agencies.

(I have nothing relating to the original Vanquis default on any CRA file)

 

Can Lowell say that I am in default with them even though I pay and am up to date when actually I was in default with Vanquis ?

 

Hope that makes sense?

 

Cheers

has this ever shown on your CRA file?

 

you say its not there now?

 

how old is this debt

when did you take the card out?

 

what made you start to pay lowlife..you fell for the threat-o-grams?

 

have you ever sent them a CCA request to check they have the LEGAL RIGHT to demand money from you?

 

something smells here

If vanquis registered a default then all lowell can do is substitute their name .

 

Do you have a notice of assignment to lowell?

 

Did they send you a default notice or intention to file a default?

 

What is the default date on your credit file?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Thanks for the quick replies,

 

I originally defaulted with Vanquis about 12 months ago, But there has never been ANY record of my account with them with the CRA's

 

(I started with a standard Vanquis card then was upgraded to a Gold Card- at this time the original card shows as settled and then nothing else from Vanquis has ever shown on the CRA's reports)

 

I decided to start paying Lowell about 4 months ago (through choice, I owe the money so should pay it back somehow) and a default has appeared on my CRA for May of 2013.

 

 

Yes I did have a letter of assignment etc and it does relate correctly to what I owed vanquis.

 

Cheers

I knew I'd ready something somewhere (From Lowells website) .

It is likely that your original creditor will have registered a default with regard to the outstanding debt on your credit file.

When the account is purchased by us, we are legally required to transfer the default into our name.


So if there was no registered default by Vanquis - then Lowell cant add a default as long as I am within my agreement with them ?

Who do I contact, Lowell or the CRA's ?

Cheers

Clarification please, in post 5 you state the original card show as settled (on CRA Files?), and now shows on CRA with Lowell?

 

The ''settled'' entry will have been when Lowell acquired the debt after which the original entry would be removed and Lowell will report to the CRA and must show the original default.

 

So as far as I can see the entry is correct.

Brig, if the default is recorded as happening in May 2013 it cannot be correct, as the account at this time would have been owned by Lowell. Lowell were not in a position themselves to default the account.

 

But it’s best to check with enrico again – can you confirm that Lowell have recorded a default that BEGINS in May 2013, rather than simply taking over an old default? What is listed as the actual default date – is it May 2013, as you stated? This is important.

So the true default date is 30th April 2012 as shown above NOT December 2013

 

You are reading the status history the 2013 is the start of th is years status history NOT a later default date and has not yet been updated with this years status from January 2103 onwards.

So the entry appears correct!

I am confused as hell. Where does it say April 2012.?

I think that what the op was saying is that when his card was upgraded they marked his original account as settled. Not the time of sale.

Has a post been removed?

 

If not maybe the OP could post his credit file entry.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I would appear that the OPs post showing the CRA file details has been removed, it clearly showed the APRIL date.

 

May have had personal data???

I've never mentioned April 2012 ! I edited post 11 for date accuracy.

 

Simply put, the default has never showed on my CRA files until May 2013 when it has been added by Lowell with a default date of 30th April 2013.

Last entry above clearly shows default date 30/04/2012 not 2013 what you are reading is the status history as previously advised, December D. 2013 D history not up dated.

Sorry - Just realised it said 2012!. Old age creeping in

 

So, Its OK for Lowell to show that I have a default with them even though I never had a default registered by Vanquis?

 

I only started paying Lowell about 4 months ago and have not missed any payments with them (if that makes any difference)

 

Cheers

Vanquis are not known for selling accounts with out them being defaulted, the dates seem right for default and sale D.D April 2012.

 

My intuition tells me that between the settled card and the reporting of the upgraded card the default was placed and the account sold.

Hmm,

I think the settled card is a bit of a red herring - It's marked as settled in Aug 2009 when I did a balance transfer between my old Vanquis card and the new Vanquis card that then defaulted.(different account numbers)

However since the settlement in 2009 the has been no record of ANY vanquis transactions on my CRA's - its as if I never has the new card!

Hence my query about Lowell adding the default now

 

Cheers

Vanquis always when upgrading cards mark credit files on the 'original' card as settled when the balance on the old card ids transferred to the new card.

 

I don't think there is any further I can advise, unless you seek archived credit reports for the period the data is missing, the default will have already been place before Lowell acquired the debt.

 

You could expend £10 on a SAR to Vanquis.

OK thanks but as a last throw of the dice, I keep a reasonable eye on my CRA files, and I know that there has been no recorded activity at all (even when I was paying them) for this defaulted card and no default ever registered by Vanquis - So if I can prove this, then Lowell have acted improperly by registering a default in their name for an agreement that I never had with them?

 

Thanks for your advice. :-)
