    • 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.

From the FAQs:

 

 

Q. Do I have to send a letter before action?

 

A. Yes, you should give the bank written notice that you will be suing them.

 

From the step by step guide:

 

(4)

 

If you are not offered a FULL refund then proceed to the Letter Before Action (LBA) in the library.

 

However do make sure that you understand that there is a possibility that the Bank may decide to defend and that you may have to present your case to a judge in a Small Claims Court. This is very rare, but you should be aware of the possibility.

 

If you have to issue a court claim, the spreadsheet mentioned earlier will also calculate interest at 8% as allowed by s.69 the County Courts Act (1984) and which you will add to your claim at that point. NOTE: you do not claim the 8% unless you put in a court claim.

 

From the Bank Template Library:

 

3. Letter before action - Consumer version - asking for it back

Hi bennet,

You seem to have 2 threads going, both with the same content. Ask someone if they can either merge them for you or how to delete one of them.

HI

As you have started the process of reclaiming the charges you should write to Shabbey and say that the account is in dispute and therefore they should refrain from adding further charges until the dispute is resolved.

Hope this helps

 

Thank you but have tried this over the phone. They said that it a seperate issue but if successfull in my claim i will be paid this back. in the meantime they said i will have to pay and still gain further charges.

Hi

Get your money claim in and add all the charges up until day you enter the claim. WRITE to Abbey and inform them of your pending court case and that this puts the overdraft amount into dispute and that they should refrain from adding further charges until resolved.

This shoulkd work but if not keep track of anymore charges that they add and either asked them to be refunded as well when you get to the settlement stage or just start a second claim for any new ones.

Once they know you mean business by issueing court claim they should stop.

there at it again as said in a thread yesteday they have closed my account has to my overdraft £700 they will not accept the £40 pound per month they will only accept min of £75 I told them this is too much i am on low income. + the further charges of £183 +a further £230 both these are overdraft and interest om my £700 overdraft in one month IE Octobers. the person I spoke to was dan at the dept management dept Milton Keynes. however this chap said the only way around this is for my wages to go back in to the abbey and he would give me a £1.300 overdraft to pay off what I owe.and then each Month to pay off this one. thus reducing the interest each Month on this new one. but in the next sentence he said no this would not be posible because this would take 18 months to pay off and we only allow 3 months to pay any overdraft off.

I have also put my request to pay of the overdraft in righting and have sent this on friday yesterday. In the end he said the will contact Dept Management Councillor it is the only solution to my problem then I reminded him if it was not for this bank taking between £200 and somtimes £300 a month and every Month from my account

I would not be in this situation and only take home £200 per week. I have sent in my LBA on the 17/10/06 3 day to go before court action but I dont know were to go with the above.

please help Abbey has given refund of £555.00 week did check my account to see but what the crafty devils had done is paid this of the full balance overdraft at £700 +charges+interest came to £1.109.63. so they paid £555 of the full balance which in avect was their charges but then reducing the overdraft by only 153.25 so the mony that was pain in there so called refund was taken back in charges. could someone please explain to me if i have misunderstand there good will gesture. and they have taken my overdraft away but still say that i have £546 75 to pay of the overdraft and the charges and interest will continue on the £546.75 remaining. and after talking with them today and being a little obstinate i asked the question if you have taken the overdraft away then i dont owe money so the £546.75 is mine then of cause this person said you have gone over your overdraft so you still owe this money. my comment was please explain to me because my brain is not working, you have taken away my overdraft this no longer exist and dont have one so why do i owe this money.woman then said i can not talk to you if you continue to be obstinate. but all this time i was very polite
