    • 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.

I wonder if anyone can assist me with a debt collection issue? A number of years ago i was taken ill and had to resign from my job. As a result i had to restructure my credit payments to new manageable amounts with the aid of CAB. For the most part this has been an easy option even though i am legally defaulting on these payments i have paid the newly arranged amounts on the specified dates and at the specified amount. However, one of my creditors was awkward to say the least and it transpired upon investigation that they could not actually expect payment because of a false signature against one of the items purchased. This matter was further raised with the financial ombudsman and the creditor was instructed to freeze the account while full investigations took place.

 

What the creditor actually did was sell the account to another debt collection agency. I contacted the new agency highlighting the issue and from that time (around 4 years) to this i have received no correspondence from any company with regard to this account, until today.

 

Today i received a threatening letter stating that the company (another new debt collection agency) had found my address (i have lived at my house for 12 years) through my credit report and were now asking that i repay the debt or else.

 

What i really want to know is if they can actually still claim the payment as there is a huge question mark over the validity of the debt, and the time frame between each letter. if someone has any idea with regard to this matter i would greatly appreciate some assistance.

Who is the new DCA?

 

The debt is obviously a lemon debt, and the new owners will probably know that.

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..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Tread carefully for now and get tje full facts on the debt. Lowell are known for issuing statutory demands and ccj action even on unenforceable debts.

Thank you for your reply. I have an enormous bundle of paperwork regarding this debt, but i will maybe request they send me a copy of the credit agreement whilst simultaneously pointing out to them that the debt should have been frozen because i cannot afford to get ccj's.

The account it seems was legitimately sold a creditor/debt purchaser may do this at any time.

 

What sort of account is this please?

 

What amount are Lowell claiming exactly, Lowell are tending to use Statutory Demands on any thing over £750.00 so its is a possibility here.

 

Does this account appear on your CRA files? If you haven't checked you should do so.

 

If this account is not statute barred, yes it can be pursued, do you know when the last payment/and or written acknowledgment was made on this?

 

What is the 'evidence' you have that the debt is not legitimate? Without knowing this all is speculation on the enforceability!!!

The debt was for an item purchased from a catalogue (Kays). No payment has been made on the account since 2008. The debt does show on our CRA as Lowell have added the item to our credit file even though we have not had any discussions with the company. This item is the only blot on our file.

 

The evidence is that a credit agreement between myself and Kays was fraudulently signed as i did not signed the form and fortunately for me Kays actually sent me a copy of the form which someone else had signed using my name. The original form (unsigned) is also in my possession because i was trying to send the item back to Kays but they refused to accept it. I also have all of the letters highlighting the discussion around this.

 

The amount owing is £1500.

Ok, who signed the 'agreement'?

 

Was the item (s) delivered to you are a 3rd party?

 

Lowell as debt purchaser will have just up dated the credit file with their details as they are obliged to do when their acquired the account.

 

Has the alleged fraud actually been fully investigated by the original creditor?

Thank you for getting back me I really appreciate it. I have absolutely no idea who signed the agreement, but the item was delivered to my home and found to be faulty. Unfortunately Kays would not accept the item (for reasons unknown). When i discussed the issue with Kays after some very awkward letters and telephone calls including intervention by the Financial ombudsman, they stated that they would look into the matter. Around a year later I received a letter from Lowell chasing the debt. I wrote to Lowell at that time explaining the situation, at which point they apologised for contacting me and said they would return the debt (or words to that effect) back to Kays as the debt was questionable and Kays were at liberty to prove who signed the agreement.

 

As far as i am aware Kays have not contacted me with any findings of an investigation, and it has been quite a number of years since i last had contact with the company.

What happened to the item ?

 

Have you taken Lowell to task over this formally? Lowell are very litigious on any debts over £750.00

 

Do still have a copy of the 'signed' agreement, any detail you can provide to support your case I can draft into a challenge for you.

Thank you again for getting in touch. The item is in the attic and has never been usable because it arrived with a fault. The only time Lowell had any correspondence before the current time was when I informed them of the situation with Kays. I do have a copy of the signed agreement (with another persons signature). I was advised in the past to ignore any correspondence from any Credit companies regarding this account because of the fraud. I do not want to acknowledge anything that could restart this whole matter again. To be honest i really thought that the matter was closed, how wrong am i.

At least the item has not been disposed of that's important, very surprised Kays would not accept its return, without explanation.

 

I'll try to put some order into this for you and will post a challenge to go to Lowell and copy to Kay.
