    • 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 dx,

Thank you very much,

I could not believe that document i was sent is not classed as an out and out CCA,

i be very interested to hear what i should have expected.

 

My understanding at the moment, Terms and Conditions sent to me should have included my name,

whereas it's just a standard T&C's print off.

 

The document they sent to me as a CCA, is not actually a signed agreement as a CCA should be,

but more like the signed application, also there are no rate charges listed.

 

I look forward to any updates, many many thanks for all the help!

 

 

hi dx,

Excellent find, Halifax sent me exactly that, looks nigh identical lol

 

Only thing is .. what is the final verdict, is it deemed enforceable or not?

 

I read the posts and seems no direct answer thus far :(

 

Thank you

Thank you dx for the headsup very much appreciated !

 

As yet they have not been in contact, I will keep you posted anything surfaces.

 

What i have recently received but in relation to a different CCA request for an old BOS account,

is a request via a text message from the DCA (Idem Servicing) for me to contact their offices by telephone.

 

The letter of reply to my CCA request stated .

 

.. unfortunately, we are unable to supply a copy of the credit agreement and we acknowledge that until we do so the agreement cannot be enforced.

 

However, the balance of the account is still outstanding and we will continue to pursue this debt which will include registering any arrears with the Credit Reference Agencies (This account has already served the 6 Years as a default account)

 

I have not made any reply to this whatsoever thus far,

 

the words in their own letter NOT ENFORCEABLE says it all in my opinion :)

yep and if the default is over 6yrs old

the account will not now ever show on your credit file either.

Yes dx that is correct, none show on my record at all now, all cleared now.

 

all were defaulted and all showed as defaults for the 6 Years,

originally as i said Halifax were very late to default,

so that went on my file later than all the others did about 2 years later,

but that has also served it's 6 Years now,

and that off my file now too, so finally got a credit rating again :)

I have just received a 3 page A4 letter from PRA Group informing me that account has now been transferred to the Investigations and litigation Department.

Please see the images i have attached with my personal details edited.

 

I have not communicated with Pra concerning this.

 

Any advice on this would be very much appreciated as always

 

Thank you

''Investigations and litigation department'' You have to love the names they give themselves, why don't they just call themselves as they are, 'desk 1', 'desk 2', 'desk 3' 'broom cupboard' yadda yadda yadda...

 

Atts not attached, but IMO, and without seeing their puerile missive, I say ignore.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hi dx,

 

Their Investigation - Litigation Letter states it triggers certain time limits that effect me.

 

1. you are expected to acknowledge and answer this letter before claim by 05/06/16;

2. you are expected to respond to the invitation to refer this matter to ADR (alternative Dispute Resolution) by 05/06/16.

There are lots of things we're 'expected' to do, like looking before you cross the road, putting litter in bins, having lights on your bike at night etc etc etc.

 

IMO this is simply them trying to appear professional and failing, miserably, that CCA is hilarious!

IMO yes! Nothing for you to get excited about, they're trying to intimidate you.
