    • Thanks all. Think I have come to a plan dx please correct me if I am getting you wrong but I am going to go down the route you suggest. simply stop payments for now until I receive a DN and it gets marked on my file. Then contact each lender and start making token payments to each one. i then assume most like they will then at some point sell to DCA. Once they are sold I’ll be coming back to see how best I deal with it.  Let me know if I am making some error in judgment or missing anything with my plan 
    • while politicians trough at subsidised bars and canteens, claim thousaands in expenses while letting out their properties and tories vote to leave UK children hungry That ALL needs to stop
    • J&P Credit Solutions are specialists on debt recovery. Either way they seem to be swapping between the JandP and IDR whatever their exact definitions are.
    • Primary and secondary teachers are supporting pupils with their own money, buying food and warm clothing.

    • 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?

    • 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.

Hello Toni

 

I only picked up the info on the above post from another thread I saw last week.

 

I think you may be OK to put the total amount of your claim as the total amount of charges, because if I'm not mistaken, you tick a box on MCOL advising them that you will be claiming the 8% interest under the County Courts Act 1980.

 

At the end of the day, Toni, you ain't even going to see court, so when you eventually get a court date through, the shABBEY will be calling you to settle anyway, and you can include/add the interest then.

 

Hope this helps!

Phil:)

This is only my personal, honest opinion!

I've filed it online with the interest thanks to my Mum and her card. Keep you all informed. I have sent the claim details to Bankfodder.

 

 

Well done toni,

 

Thank goodness for Mums!!

 

Actually I think the cost of court restricts quite a few people from pursuing their claim. I've had to lay out £350 so far and I'm still months away from seeing any return. Which leads me to think I should be claiming 8% interest on the £350 and adding it to my claim!

Claim issued today, wow this is getting so exciting now, best I get reading up on the next step.

When I first started this I found it easier to not read too far ahead and confuse myself. Just take it step by step and file everything.

When and if you get to do court bundles, then you put in a claim when they contact you to settle

Recieved my notice of issue today. They have until the 7th May to reply.

I'm guessing Abbey will leave it to the last minute and then another 28 days for the next step.

And now I have found out why I couldn't open another account. Our local council have wiped me off the electrol roll, and put 2 strangers in my house. They can't see how it happened as the other 2 are registered elsewhere as well. At least they have moved them out of my address but can't add me till begining of June!!!!!

Hi Toni,

 

I'm at the same stage as you.

Abbey have untill the 8th of May to reply.

I haven't received a goodwill payment yet tho!!

I am begining to think that any day now there're going to take my overdraft away. I've stopped all DD's and standing/orders from coming out the account.

But heyhoo I don't care!!:p I'm gonna win!!!:D

Will be following your thread with interest!

Strange I was told they would put £1375 in my account but it was £1190 listed as individual Miscellaneous Fee Refunds of various amounts ie £20, £30 and £35's.

As it was a refund of some charges do I need to send them a letter (there was no mention on the letter saying it was an offer or final payment). Also when do I tell the court?

  • 2 weeks later...

So now the next bit. According to MCOL Abbey are defending, no doubt I will get the usual defence in the post any day now. Any pearls of wisdom for my next step?

Hi toni,

 

No great pearls of wisdom I'm afraid, just keep on going down a very well-trodden path.:)

 

Two things spring to mind, did you send a schedule of your charges to the court because you can't add to MCOL? and MCOL have dispensed with the AQ stage to speed up the process.

 

I know it's a pain and slow, but you're making good, steady process with no obvious difficulties.:)
