    • 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 part exchanged my car yesterday and about an hour of driving the new one I felt it wasn't driving well. Not sure what the problem was but I just wasn't happy with it. I drove back to the dealer and requested to have my old car back.

They told me I wouldn't get the £99 administration fee back as it was non refundable but also that they would give me £100 less from the extra money I had paid on top of my car as they had already cleaned my car and listed it for sale which had cost them money. I left £199 short but couldn't really say anything as I'm not sure of my rights on this. Can they do this?

Hi

The consumer rights act is your friend here. you are entitled to a full refund if a car is faulty within 30 days of purchase so 1 hour of use certainly qualifies.

 

If you can record a call, ring them and get it on 'tape' otherwise write and tell them you want a full refund of the amount outstanding or court action will follow

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

What about if I just changed my mind?

Do I have to lose this money?

Also.. They said they returned my car manual and wallet but it's not in the car and they are telling me they put it in there. I'm starting to think they've taken it to use for the other Volvo in the lot. This whole episode has been a complete nightmare.

Ps.. The mot the dealership gave the car was completely dodgy and had something to do with my decision to reject it. Basically the faults on the mot previous to theirs.. Which they did 8 months before it was due to run out were still present on the car despite their new mot not showing any faults. Also the car engine warning light began to show when I was driving the car back. I spoke to the consumer rights advice line who told me it was up to me to prove the car was faulty and that the fault didn't occur whilst I owned the car. So for such a dodgy company as theirs.. I'm sure they'd manage to worm their way out of it. What gets me is that some poor bugger will buy that car and when I comes to the mot, will have a big bill to pay for just because the dealer wanted to make a few more quid

As I see it, this makes no difference. You felt there was something not right so you took it back. There is no way an admin fee of £99 can be right nor can £100 for a clean be correct either.

 

I have moved your thread to our motoring forum. More experienced people here will offer more advice (hopefully)

I believe that they are within their rights to charge for betterment but I cannot see that they could have valeted or cleaned the car within the alleged hour. Ask them to prove it. Of course it is area dependent so if central London this would not be unreasonable as opposed to say north Yorkshire. You need to be a bit careful about the MOT as it sounds like advisories which are not the same as fails. Advisories can go on for a number of years depending on what they are. For example, my Focus gets the same advisories every year but it has yet to fail. One day it will but until they do or the tester considers them too bad to continue that is what they will be, advisory.

Irrespective of what has been done to the car, you are entitled by regulation to a full refund. If the px car has been sold and a nice profit made on it, you are also entitled to that profit as well.

I'm not so sure you are correct Conniff as if what you say is true a dealer could take in part ex a wreck, spend a load of money on it and sell it at a small profit and then under the law as you portray it the original owner 5 months later can reject and claim the profit,.....I don't think so???

I know I read that in the regulations somewhere and am trying to find it again. I will put up a link when I do.

 

There is no guidance on this in the new regulations, so will dig into the older other acts.

Basically they had the guy who works on the yard give it a once over with the Hoover.

The mot was done so that any buyer looking at a car with no advisories wouldn't be put off when looking at that car so for me it has an impact on my descision to buy the car or not. Anyway,I think it's up to me to prove the car was faulty and I'm a bit concerned they will just make the car disappear or even sell it if I attempt to take them to court. Or they could just deny everything and say I have it back because I changed my mind. I'll give it a go anyway. Does anyone know the procedure for claiming my money back please?

One of the problems here is that the OP's opinion is that it is faulty without stating what he thinks the faults are. Irrespective of the new regulations the sellar still has to be given the right to rectify and so far we don't know what is wrong. It's all pointing to buyer remorse at the moment !!
