    • 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 Guys!

 

I wonder if I could borrow you guys brains and expert knowledge again...?

 

The other half brought some furniture....quite a bit as she just moved in to her new house. The furniture was suppose to be delivered and coming in, however she received a letter from the furniture company expressing their apologies and that they are in financial difficulties. HSBC have removed their support & card processing and they have tried to refund her money, but because of the problems, it may not have happened.

 

They have stated if the refund doesn't happen, that we should be indemnified by the card issuer under section 75 of the consumer credit act. However, on checking this out, this only applies to credit cards but she paid by debit card.

credit cards - issue 31

 

They are not delivering the furniture and are currently taking advice into bankruptcy legalisation. The money doesn't look like it has been refunded and it's quite a bit.

 

Does anyone know how we go about claiming the money back at? I ain't got a clue about this one other than going to court to claim the money back but I thought I'd come to you guys because your all so bloody awesome!

 

Thanks again...and btw...its took me nearly a year, but I refused the banks offer and sent the final letter, fingers crossed!

If it was a Visa debit card, she'll be OK. Section 75 still doesn't apply, but Visa themselves provide additional cover. If a Mastercard (Switch or Maestro) there's no protectiion, and she'll be one of many unsecured creditors of the company.

 

Now, if the purchase was for a suite that was pre-ordered, there is every possibility that due to their difficulties it has neither been ordered from the supplier, or made (if a bespoke item), as such, the Liquidator may have ringfenced the money paid for pending orders and you will have the money repaid.

 

Things are not good, but there's still a possibility of the money being returned. Find out who the liquidator or receivers are, and make your claims as soon as possible, the earlier the better.

Hi Buzby,

 

Thank for the advice. I rang them on Weds & today, and got 2 totally different responses. However, I'm await to speak with the boss and find out what the crack is.

 

Its good to hear that Visa debit cover purchases, so I'll tell her to get in contact with them and see how to go about claiming these charges.

 

Thank you again for the advice.

 

Cheers

 

Stuart

I am in a current situation with a company.

 

It is currently going to small claims, but apparantly they are planning to wrap up business.

 

Im now worried I will get none of my money they owe me back.

 

Any advice?

 

Do as Buzby says and register as a creditor with the receiver, if they are at that stage.

 

It may be they are able to recover more money than what they owe out.

You need to keep an eye out for an announcement (usually in the London Gazette that says the firms has gone into receivership and who it looking after this or the subsequent winding up. However, there will be many preferential creditors in front of you who will probably take most if not all of the available funds. (Govt, VAT, Banks etc).

Hi,

 

I have had a similar problem with a company going into liquidation and i don't know what to do. It was a modelling comp. that approached me via the internet, it all checked out and seemed legit, so i joined and paid a one off price of 75 pounds via a pay pal account that was set up on the website. They said that if no work had been given out in the first 6 months then you can have a refund, so 6months passed and i got no work, so i went on the website and there is a big red notice saying that they have gone into liquidation. I borrowed the money from my mum and now i have to pay it back but don't know how to go about getting the 75 quid back from the now non existant comp. the website is Home

 

I'd appreciate some help because i don't know about all this.

 

Thanks, Steph

My friend paid her deposit on her wedding venue less than 2 weeks ago to find outtoday that they have gone into receivership. Surely there must be a law in place that stops troubled businesses feeding on unsuspecting public Is there any way she could get her much needed money back and quickly?

Find out who the Administrators/Liquidators are and register your claim. If it is taken over as a going concern, then the new owner may well honour the booking and deposit paid.

 

However, there is no such 'law' to protect consumers - unless the money was put on a credit card. If the venue was privately owned , then you can pursue the owner. If it was a Ltd conpany, you'll be stuck - as that's the whole point of being Ltd - it limits their liability.
