    • 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 guys, first post, nice site and once the money comes in they'll be contribution going in for books/hosting/coffee whatever!

 

Well I've got the ball rolling by sending off the DPA request with £10 for Barclaycard statements, I only have copies going back to mid 2002, sent the first letter on 4th April and received a response yesterday 13 april with statements back to May 2004 and the microfiche standard fob off letter, and also an invitation to buy the rest of the statements at £3 each. Its cleverly worded to just state the statements before then are not held on a computing system or a structured relevant filing system and as such are not covered under the DPA, its a shame the charges are covered, so I'll now be asking for a list of those.

 

I've calculated that theres at least £160 of late payment charges, most were just 1 day late, I just know theres going to be more, next letter will be on its way this week requesting 'the requested' information.

 

Just wanted my own thread here to show progress.

Data Protection Act disclosure request

 

Dear Simon Walker

 

Re: Account Number: 4xxx xxxx xxxx xxxx

 

I am in receipt of your letter dated 12 April 2006, outlining that you could only provide me with statements covering transactions onwards from May 2004, because any earlier information has been archived onto microfiche. (*I also acknowledge receipt of the information you forwarded.)

 

My request was for a complete list of transactions and charges relating to my account since April 2000 – in short, a list of charges with dates and amounts – alternatively, a complete set of account statements for that period will be acceptable. This should be retrievable from your accounting systems, and easy for you to produce. I will accept a computer print out of these transactions.

 

I am aware that you have been willing and able to provide other customers with a print-out of transaction information covering this period – and am ready to bring this to the attention of the Information Commissioner should it prove necessary. I would also draw your attention to Smith v Lloyds TSB Bank plc (2005) EWHC 246 (Ch).

 

This letter has been sent by first class recorded delivery, and therefore should have reached you by 19/04/06 – as you will be aware, as of this date you have just 26 days in which to comply with my request. As stated above, a complete set of account statements for the period in question will be acceptable; however, I expect this to be provided within the initial 40 day time period for DPA compliance.(Initial DPA request submitted 5/4/06.)

 

Should there be any further attempts to delay compliance, I will be left with no alternative but to escalate this matter into an official complaint to the Information Commissioner and/or the County Court under s.7 and/or s.13 Data Protection Act

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Kruger x

Hi Kruger,

 

We are at exactly the same stage. I got the same fob off letter from Lindsey Hilton at Bstardcard legal blah blah team.

I did the same searching on here and have replied with the same letter.

The only other change I made is to include a line that states that i have already paid the statuary £10 fee for this entire service and therefore their request for an additional £3 for statements is invalid. No idea if this will work but lets see what happens?

Good luck and I'll keep you posted.

Bob

I was going to add something similar into the letter just to cover that aspect but left it out as the 40 days is ticking away reardless, but after they received mt second letter they cashed the original cheque, not sure if it was just a coincindence though from the initial dpa request, looks like they are going to drag this out for a while now so I'm not expecting anything until the middle of May :rolleyes:

  • 6 months later...

Wow it was the end of April since I last updated this thread, its been a busy 6 months, with the stress and depression a dissertation brings, finished uni with a 2.1, have moved house twice since as my partner got a decent job for which we've relocated 250 miles away, left my job as a result and have been unemployed for 2 months, but things are looking up I've got a job to start in 3 weeks,

 

Been occasionally lurking here and very slowly plodding through the steps and have just eventually filed a claim on Money Claim against Barclaycard.

 

So that has brought my situation right up to date heres a summary of whats been going on inbetween.

 

After the initial DPA and SAR farce I decided to claim based on the statements I had which go back to mid 2002, when my account unfortunately was conducted much better.

With all the information BC provided and what I had kept myself there was only 1 statement missing for which I thought there was a late payment charge pre May 04, so a quick call to Barclaycard to request this 1 copy statement, the lady said that will be £3, I said thats fine, and then she realised as the account had been closed she could not charge the £3, even onto an alternative debit card, she agreed though to waive the fee, and within a couple of days I had the copy statement, a real poor microfiche photocopy - at least there is some truth from BC as I seriously doubted the use of Microfiche post 1986, lol.

 

Mid August

Prelimanary letter sent

 

Standard "were sorry your not happy" reply recieved, have a read of our customer service leaflet and we'll aim to resolve matters and contact you within 4 weeks.

 

Mid September

1st Letter Before Action sent

 

Replied with;

Part settlement offer of the difference between the charges and OFT £12 reccomendation, they credited £32 to my CLOSED Barclaycard account and sent me a statement telling me I'm in credit. Someone wasn't too good with their sumds that day as the offer was only the difference of half the charges.

 

Mid October

Settlement rejection sent, said I would take their offer as part settlement but would need the money as a cheque as I dont have access to the closed acoount as I have no card, and also reminded them that I would start a court claim after a further 14 days.

 

Today

Moneyclaim filed

 

So its taken a while to get this far, and its only for a couple of hundred pounds but I want it back!
