    • 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 am completely new to this site, so please move it if it is in the wrong place.

 

I am really hoping to get some personal advice.

 

I have used this forum over the last year taking advice from other peoples similar situations

and managed to start getting my debts reduced with F&F payments.

 

Ok this is what I still have: ( well between us).

 

All these debts are pre 2007!

Currently managed through a DMP

 

Wescott Credit; OC MBNA with CCJ on file since 2012(as struggled keeping up with arrangements in 2011) debt £7988

Wescot offered an F&F payment to me of £4055- I refused

 

Lewis Bradford; Aka CL Finance GE Capital ( Santander) debt £1075

F&F payment offered £900 - I refused

 

Apex credit ; littlewoods catalogue debt £2600

Wants I&E - which I have sent awaiting response

 

Apex credit; RBS loan; debt £9800

As above

 

Triton credit services; RBS loan debt £19,508

F&F offered as in offers of 16k - I didn't respond as I had offered them originally 3k

 

RBS credit card still with OC debt £5805

RBS refused my offer of £800 so offered £1800 max awaiting feedback

 

RBS credit card still with OC debt £ 5200

Same as above

 

Total debt £51,976. Have 23k to offer! And would like some change. Is this possible? Need to pay these off by 2014.

 

It appears I am getting no where at the moment?

Any advice??

 

I am currently at Uni for a year studying so have no income, but this lump sum to clear my debts!!

 

Do I need to get any SAR's on them?

 

Would that push them along??

 

Not sure where to turn now.

 

I need all your great advice.

If they offer you F&F (If DCA --> You) then 95% of the time there is something wrong with the debt.

That sounds interesting... with Wescot & Lewis....

 

SAR are used for collecting information held by a company on you...

This could be interesting to say the least so I would SAR them all to the OC

 

Also Triton are RBS's Inhouse collection team

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi fkofilee,

thanks for your reply,

wow very speedy thanks.

 

Sorry I forgot to say I did use the forum letter on F&F offers.

So I initiated the start of F&F payments, ( they didn't just contact me out of the blue).

 

My offers to them started back in January this year by offering originally 20% of the debt

and they were the offers back to me.

 

I have held back from contacting them again in the hope they will say ok we will accept it!

( this strategy worked for one debt and managed to get that settled in full on 30% of the original debt).

 

So you think I should SAR them all.

 

Also I have done all PPI on them and kept the money towards paying the said debts off.

The best way to deal with multiple accounts such as these is a separate thread for each Original Creditor listing the 'story so far' on each one, this will get clearer and more specific advice for each one.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Hi the DMP is with B&E,

I know I hear you say why?

I realise it's a fee paying company.

 

Soon to be changed to a free DMP.

 

Ps can you answer me this question?

 

Can't find the answer anywhere?

 

All of the said debts apart from the CCJ in 2012, have fallen off my credit report.

 

Once my F&F settlements have been agreed and paid.

 

Does this update go back in the report as a settled marker this year or won't it show as the debt fell off the report 9 years ago?.

Once a defaulted account has been removed from CRA files after 6 years no further reporting to CRAs can take place.

 

If defaulted account is paid in part or in full the CRA entry remains for the balance of the 6 year default life.

A defaulted debt paid by F&F will be marked partially satisfied and remains on file the balance of the 6 years.

if a debt has fallen off due to the default hitting 6yrs

then it CANNOT return.

 

one wonders why you are considering or have

F&F'd any debt that does not show

 

its not harming you

 

your F&F money is being wasted if you are doing that.

 

all very well to 'pay ones debts'

but the money could be put to better use

by clearing debts that are on the file
