    • 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

 

I bought a car from Approved Car Finance in 2008 for around 6k,

 

Back then I couldnt afford it and it got repossessed (illegally according to Stephensons Solicitors).

The Funding Corporation took me to court,

 

Back in those days there was no websites like this to help so I hid my head in sand and lost....

 

I had the odd letter from them,

a year or so later a solicitor sent a nasty letter which I wrote back with a load of complaints,

 

I trying to rebuild my life, as my wife passed away a few years back

 

I met a lovely lady and we started a family together,

but we need to move on,

I decided to sort all my debts out and look to move...

 

today this is in tatters as Funding Corporation want £27k to settle this debt, which I truely believe is all miss selling.

 

PPI, Warranty on Car which was not fit for purpose, GAP Insurance, I was without the car for the first month as it was faulty, illegally repossesd...

 

Where can I go from here, the CCJ was recorded in 2010, and they put a charge on my house.

well, you can reclaim the PPI and so forth.

as for the charges added at the time that were unlawful or without foundation you will find hard to get rid of because they took you to court and won.

 

I presume that they claimed interest as well that is still being added.

I dont think they can do this for more than a year after the judgement if you havent paid them anything at all.

 

illegal repossession

- well, agian you are too late as you have 6 years after the event to take action so that has passed by as well.

 

you can claim interest on the PPI and that will claw you back a goodly amount from that time

but you are likely to ony get 6 years worth

but if they have added interest to your bill then they will have to reduce their debt accordingly

so after this time the amount the PPI is worth will be double what you paid out.

 

Others may know more about the illegal repo and whether you have any comeback there after all this time.

Go check that charge. Check if its an actual charge or something like restriction K. You can check it at the land registry.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

CAG was founded in Jan 2006 .

 

Have you retained the original court claim N1 ...in particular the the particulars of claim ?

 

Also a coy of the Judgment Order informing you of payment ?

 

This is important to check the validity of this interest being charged.

So how do I go about this, it's been a burden on me...

 

what gets me is that a car finance company repossessed the car and then Acf at same car at auction for a pittance..

when they could of sold it in their own dealership to another mug like me for the Same price...

 

I also discovered that someone has been playing around with the mileage !

if I were to be totally honest

that's why I asked someone in the know to pop in..

the Court order was from 2007

but if it now appears the Agreement was void as I point to p'haps the case above

 

i'm not sure if there is a route or not to over turning the whole thing and getting money etc back out of them..

 

not seen a case like this

first forget about where and why they sold the car

You owned a property, they took the route of least resistance

Similarly the mileage irrelevant to your current situation

 

The problem here is you believed or were advised that you had a defence to the claim eight years ago.

 

Whilst there is no time limit to set aside a judgment , the court would want to know

a) why you did not submit your defence at the time given you had the opportunity,

b) you have known about the judgment for eight years,

but have done nothing about it till now

Burying your head in the sand would not be an acceptable reason

 

I cannot on the face of the facts see a good enough reason to attempt to set aside the judgment

 

Your best route is to mitigate the amount owing by reclaiming the insurances

 

However let's see the rest of the paperwork you hold especially the default notice and the exact date of repossession
