    • 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.

Hello All.

 

I'm hoping someone can help.

 

Before I started university, I racked up some debt, which as a course of being unable to repay, I was issued a CCJ at the the beginning of the this year, by the debt collection agency that the debt was passed on to.

 

I start a summer job next week, which will contribute towards my living costs as being a student. I will also be getting my student loan in September.

 

After researching that DCA's can freeze bank accounts, I am worried that the money I earn as well as the money I receive in my student loan will be frozen.

 

I recently opened a basic account and I am wondering how the DCA will find this account.

 

It's putting me under a lot of stress and I'm literally considering withdrawing every penny as soon as it hits the account just o avoid this.

 

Can you guys offer me any advice please?

 

Cheers in advance.

They probably will not find out about the other a/c, as that is what I have done. They might see it on your credit rating, but my bank told me for a basic bank a/c they do not do a credit search...

If you liked what I said, and if it helped in any way, please tip my scales..... thank you:)

Freezing an account isn't as easy as you make it sound, they have to go to court and have a good reason, enough to convince a judge that it should be frozen.

 

How much is your debt ?

The CCJ is for just over £3000.

Then they wont touch the other account. Chances are teh DCA wont even contact you again about the debt.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Just have a basic bank account somewhere which is not subject to credit searches and use that.

 

Have you checked whether the student loan people do checks for CCJ's before they sign off on the loans ?

We could do with some help from you.

The student loan people don't do credit checks no, as it is income based.

 

Well yes I have a basic account, which I've had since April. When I recently checked my credit report online, it stated that the bank did run a credit check on me (in the section where it says which companies have recently run checks on you) , so the name of the bank will be linked on my file I guess :sad:

Some of the checks are sometimes called 'soft' checks, which are not actual credit searches, but are simply done for the purpose of checking identity. If this is the case, it would not be visable to others.

Yes it appears it could of been a soft check in that case.

 

The other thing I heard was that the DCA can submit a general search with all the banks and the banks inform the DCA if the debtor has any accounts with them?

 

Sorry about all the questions!

DCA's don't have any powers. They can do credit searches, as can many different entities. The only powers they can possibly have are via a court judgement. So they would have to make a relevant application to the court and you would be advised so you could deal with it.

 

Can I suggest that you contact National Debtline or the Stepchange debt charity about your situation. They might suggest ways of dealing with any debts that you have, so they are not a long term issue or won't bite you on the backside when not expecting it.

See this Citizens Advice guide on third party debt orders.

 

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/wales/debt_w/debt_action_your_creditor_can_take_e/creditor_takes_money_from_your_bank_account.htm

 

If you are getting a student loan paid to an account, I think you could argue about this being touched, because this is purely to help you as a student. Taking from this would be in my opinion found by a court to be unreasonable and could cause hardship. On the otherhand if you have a part-time job, you would probably have to make payments from this, if ordered to do so by a court.

 

You really should call National Debtline to talk to them about this. They might suggest contacting the claimant to advise of your circumstances, that you are a student and do not have the means to be able to pay more than say £5 a month. If you then pay £5 a month which the claimant is happy with, then you at least you don't have the worries about any further court enforcement. But obviously paying regularly does mean that any statute of limitation barring is kicked into the future and you will have the remaining debt still to be settled. Perhaps talking through your options with National Debtline is going to be the best thing for you to do.

Well im surprised because the DCA are legally allowed to enforce this apparently once they have the CCJ.

 

Well the debt is a credit card debt from 3 years ago.

 

I went travelling and buried my head in the sand,

 

came back and started university,

 

obviously I moved address so didn't receive anything in the post.

 

I checked my credit report a couple of months ago and saw the CCJ sitting there.

Name and shame the DCA. If you never recieved the claim forms, getting rid of the CCJ is pretty easy.
