    • An update! I emailed both Andrzej.Tuleja and James_Goldsmith at Whirlpool dot com. I got a phone call from their executive team a couple of days later, and a replacement part dropped on the mat a week after. She was quite apologetic, however, also reiterated the "90 day warranty" period on customer fitted parts, and did not comment when I mentioned that the CRA also applies as I was a consumer buying from them directly. So I now have a spare door switch if the machine decides to eat another in the future! Cheers all!   Note dx100 that the "Hotpoint CEO" you linked to is not related to the hotpoint appliances, but some kind of marketing app.
    • yep, throw that morality card out the window....9/10 you never owe a DCA ANYTHING!! they are NOT BAILIFFS!!
    • (See the link to DVLA’s INF188/6 document I posted above, page 4 as cited) “I have a new medical condition that I have told the DVLA about on my recent application. Can I drive? As soon as the DVLA receives your correct and complete application for a new licence and as long as you meet all the Section 88 criteria, you may drive. It is important that you are satisfied that the medical condition you have declared on your application does not stop you from driving. If you are unsure, check with your doctor or healthcare professional before you make a decision. You can also look up your condition in the ‘Assessing fitness to drive’ guide, which you can find at www.gov.uk/dvla/fitnesstodrive to see whether you meet the medical standards for driving. As this guide is intended for healthcare professionals, it can be complicated. Your doctor or healthcare professional should be able to help you if necessary." It seems that DVLA think that S.88 does apply for applications disclosing a new medical condition after all. Why might this be so, and what of “qualifying application" and "relevant disability"? S. 92(1) imposes on the driver a requirement to disclose a relevant disability. S.92(3) requires the Secretary of State to refuse such an application disclosing a relevant disability ….. EXCEPT S.92(4) requires the Secretary of State to grant such an application if the relevant disability is “adequately controlled”. Hence my belief S.88 can apply for medical conditions (if the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive) as the application remains a qualifying application IF the driver meets the medical standard of fitness to drive, until DVLA (on behalf of the Secretary of State) say it doesn’t, provided the driver believes they meet the (medical) standard. Additionally, at (or before) June 2013 (as noted in my previous post) the medical standard for fitness to drive for conditions involving excessive daytime sleepiness was changed from “completely controlled” to "adequately controlled".

    • 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.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

well I see you've read a couple of legal threads only

so your task now is to read a few to do with your claimant/sols/debt type and defence

and get upto speed

 

 

but the next move is theirs.

 

 

they might wave their arms around by sending a letter disputing the Sb'd defence

but if they want to actually proceed and pay to do so

and the inherent risks

 

 

, that's their gamble.

Just received Cabot's reply:

 

"we currently do not have the information (CCA) on file, however we have requested the relevant details, which will include a copy of the credit agreement, statement of account and the original and varied terms and conditions from the original lender.

 

What happens next?

 

We anticipate that we will be able to provide this within 40 days. In the likely event we are unable to obtain this information within those limit, we will write again."

 

What do i do at this stage? Do i remind them it is obligatory to supply the requested documents within the (Act's) specified time.

 

NB:- SB defence filed yesterday.

Received court acknowledgement letter for my defence today. It says claimant has 28 days to contact the court if they want to proceed after being served with my defence. If they fail to do so, the claim will be stayed. (Standard letter I suppose). Also says claimant may try to resolve any dispute with me directly.

 

What do they mean by "stayed" ??

exactly what they say

 

 

its going nowhere till the claimant provide an enforceable agreement

I received a letter from Weightmans LLP (cabot's solicitor) today.

 

Summary of content:-

 

"We received your defence and can confirm that our client does not accept such. Accordingly, we have written to the court to request that the matter proceed as defended.

 

However, our client is hopeful that this matter may be resolved amicably and we invite you to contact our Benjamin Davis to discuss"

 

 

The letter was dated 8 July 2015.

 

 

Where do i go from here?

Received notice of proposed allocation to the small claim track today. Accompanied with a Directions questionnaire (small claim track) form. Must complete and return form 27 July.

 

I guess this is standard as i've read similar cases here.

 

Series of questions on the direction questionnaire :-

Do you agree to this small case being referred to the small claim mediation service?

Is the small claim track appropriate for this case?

hearing venue?

Expert evidence?

Witness?

 

How do i answer these questions?

I received an email from small claim mediation service saying my phone appointment is scheduled for 19th August btw 1200 - 1700. I am not sure on some of the points stated in their statemet:-

 

Mediation Requirements

Please read the following statements:

Yes or No

I can confirm that I am willing to compromise on this matter

- (are they implying whether i am willing to accept a reduced amount from claimant if suggested; even though

(1) they haven't establish any form of relationship in terms of the CCA and CPR.31 i requested.

(2) No evidence of last correspondence/payment/acknowledgement to discredit

 

I can confirm that there has been no police involvement in this matter at any time

 

I can confirm that I have enough information about the claim to allow me to enter into negotiations

and that I do not require any further evidence from the other party before the appointment

(Again, no paperwork to show i have owe this debt despite my cca and cpr request

 

I can confirm that I can mediate on the date stated above.

 

Do i still answer 'yes' to these question and point it out during the mediation?

 

Or

 

Answer 'no' so the case goes straight to court to be decided by a judge, where i can put my case forward (what chance do i have?)

 

I need advice please, thank you

 

The whole argument is that Cabot does not have the right to enforce this debt through legal system because its SB'ed which is my initial defence.

if the debt is SB'd & you filed the SB defence...

 

 

you refuse mediation noting that there is no point

the debt is defended as statute barred I have nothing to mediate over

Hi,

I received Notice of Transfer of Proceedings 2 days ago from the court stating that the claim has been transferred to a County Court Hearing Centre where a judge would have to give a case management directions.

 

Unexpectedly, i received a letter from Weightmans LLP (Cabots solicitors) today, with enclosed Notice of discontinuance which they said have been filed in court today. They are discontinuing all the claim.

 

I am now thinking of calling the court to verify if indeed they've discontinued the claim (just to be save).

 

I am so grateful to you all.

Hi

Sorry for the late reply.

 

Got in touch with the court this morning, and was told their system hasn't been updated yet to reflect recent posts/filings. Was told to call back mid week, and that the court would write me of any confirmation/directions by the judge.

 

Yes, I did receive NoD (N279) not N292, from Weightmans with all the details crossed out (don't know why they crossed out names and amounts). It was signed and dated though.

 

Will call court back tomorrow.

 

Thanks

I just want to take a moment to say a big "Thank you" to everyone for all the advices and support. I am really grateful. :happy::happy:

 

I am going to make more donation.
