    • 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.

Is it possible that they could wriggle out of things by using bullet point 3 ?

No, hang on here. This document is originated from RBS or the original creditor

 

Kingshill No1 Ltd buy the debt, only they could be included in this statement, Nobody gave Kingshill No1 Ltd the right to transfer data TO ANYONE. not even to their sister - Cabot Financial (Europe )Ltd

 

There has been some recent postings suggesting Cabot Financial xxxxx? have bought the debts in which case it would be that company and not Kingshill. but for all the older accounts you can guarantee it is Kingshill No1 Ltd.

... but could they still argue that these other companies are providing a debt collection service... in the bullet point (3) above ?

 

Yes, but we are talking about the original creditor RBS and the debt being sold to one company -kingshill no1 ltd. They can only sell it to one company and pass your data on to one. Cabot Financial (Europe)Ltd are, if you think about it the 'third' party once removed and Kingshill No1 Ltd have no right to pass it onto anyone without Your permission.

Everything seems to be happening at the same time. Finally had a response from the Information Commissioners Office today.... I need to get back to them though for further clarification.

 

25th January 2007

 

 

Case Reference Number ENQ0140575

 

 

Dear tbern123

 

Thank you for your E mails of the 3rd and 18th of November 2006 regarding your dealings with two financial companies. Please accept my apologies for the delay in providing you with a substantive response; this is due to increased volumes of correspondence being received by the team which deals with finance based queries.

 

You ask whether Kingshill (No1) Ltd can transfer information about you with Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd without your prior consent. You state that Kingshill have purchased an alleged debt and without providing notification or seeking consent, they have supplied the information to Cabot. You wish to know if this practice complies with the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

In general terms, it depends on the reasons why the companies have decided to share this information. It may be the case that the alleged debt has been sold on from one company to another as both companies deal with debt management/administration. As far as fair processing information is concerned, the initial lender should provide individuals with this information when they sign a credit agreement or contract.

(Doesn't really answer my question , but I will email them back, really looking for a yes or no answer)

 

According to our internal database, Kingshill and Cabot are two separate data controllers for the purposes of the Act. As such, if you made a request to one company for the personal data they held about you, it would seem unusual if the information in question was provided by the other company.

 

I hope this response is useful and helps to clarify the issues you have raised with our Office based on the information provided.

 

Yours sincerely

I know, we all knew this already, but it is nice to get official confirmation. Now this is where things can get really fun.

 

Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd, is a client of the CRA's and Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd have been registering defaults on behalf of and in the name of Kings Hill (No.1) Ltd

 

Can't wait to see Kings Hill headed paper.....

tbern, just remember something I posted a while back. When I telephoned Experian & Equifax, both had different clients one said Cabot the other Kingshill ( can't remember which ones though now - it's the grey matter failing me!) you might like to try them for yourself.

 

From the jist of their letter to you, it appears that they are assuming Kingshill gave you the credit in the first place and passed your data to Cabot which is not the point here. Make sure you clarify who gave the credit in the first place, who Kingshill are and who Cabot are.....(as if I need to tell you) sorry I don't mean to be patronising - you know more than most on here :oops:

Thanks Andrew1, I have emailed them back and outlined the circumstances.

 

I have only been dealing with Experian. I previously asked them to remove the default, but they came back and said that Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd (their client) would not agree at this time.

 

Before anyone says it, I know I should have SAR Kings Hill already, but I didn't really feel the need. I am going to do it tonight and send the a copy of the email from the ICO...

Well when Hodsons filed their court claim against hubby - they filed on behalf of Kingshill No1 - who the the people who are writing to the CRA's about default etc.. every month since 2002. So we sent CCA & SAR to Kings Hill and Cabot's

 

Today we got a pack of stuff from Cabot's (for two card account's and in the covering letter they say they are relying on the original card companies for the CCA's & it's unlikely they can get them in 12 days!!! (this was a request made early December 2006 they have already had 12 + 30 days) Should they be taking this to court while no paperwork supporting their claims exists?? And should it be Cabot's sending info rather than Kingshill?? Seems they are a little muddled in West Malling??

 

At the front of this bundle was all the stuff we'd sent to court - (we'd sent court copies of requests made for the SAR & CCA's etc.. showing court we were relying on Kingshill for data relating to the said claims etc..) - then there were a bundle of letters all dated 9th January 2007 - these we'd never seen before!! Then what looks like some sort of payment plan type of thing relating to an installment plan leading up to 2011 - we are in arrears apparently!! Oh!! and there were loads of pages showing all the annoying phonecalls they made too!! But don't display where calls came from!!

 

Give them enough rope ???

I find it really annoying that the Information Commissioners Office appear to be sitting on the fence. No response like, "yes this is not normal practice and we are investigating"!!!! just "well.... suppose so, but what do you want us to do about it"?

 

Whats the point in having rules and regulations set in place when they mean nothing at all.

 

Sorry to be having a rant on your thread but it just p*sses me off!

Before anyone says it, I know I should have S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) Kings Hill already, but I didn't really feel the need. I am going to do it tonight and send the a copy of the email from the Information Commissioners Office...

Tbern, I was the same as you. I only did this last week. But I did Cabot not Kingshill. Cabot should not have any info on me as they don't have my permission. I will also do Kingshill today to see what comes back. The cheque has been cashed. Wonder what headed paper will be used for the reply, assuming we get one?

 

Nice reply from the Information Commissioners Office, shame it wasn't the yes/no we all want to see in black and white, but great job..

When I did that they cashed just one cheque (for Cabot) and sent the Kings Hill one back as said it had already been paid. Has anyone CCA'd the Message Service in Rugby. Be interesting to see what response you get from them? It just gets more and more tangled.

Well - I just opened a letter and we got a 10 quid cheque back off Cabot's for the SAR we paid for by postal order back in December!! ;etter clearly says it is a refund.

 

We did send cheques for SAR to King's Hill No1 and to the Messaging services too - but we've not heard anything back yet

Seminole - I would think that's how it would work - they'd refund the money if they couldn't supply data.

 

For ourselves this could very well be why they refunded our money as what they sent doesn't in any way fit as any SAR cause there is no statements from the original lender etc.. all there is - is info that CABOT's had themselves and their letters all dated 9th January 2007. So that could very well be the answer why they refunded the 10 POUNDS !!!!

Ok sent this to the Information Commissioners Office last night:

 

Dear Mr Information Commissioners Office

 

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. Would it be possible for me to ask for further clarification.

 

I appreciate that Kings Hill, purchased the debt and as per the terms of the original agreement, may have my authority to process my data. However, they are still the legal owner of the debt. Taking this into consideration, are they allowed under the Data Protection Act, to disclose my personal data to Cabot and for Cabot to then start processing my personal data.

 

Regards

 

tbern123

 

I thought that this was a straight forward question..

 

Nope, I was wrong... Or are they hinting at something and just not saying it ?

 

26th January 2007

 

 

Case Reference Number ENQ0140575

 

 

Dear Mr tbern123

 

Thank you for your follow-up E mail which I received yesterday.

 

From the information provided, it is not clear whether Kingshill are still the legal owners of the alleged debt, it depends what they have done with it. If, for example, they have sold the debt in its entirety to Cabot, then Cabot will become the legal owners of the debt and have a basis for processing your personal data.

 

As they haven't sold the debt to Cabot, does this mean they shouldn't be processing my data ?

 

In general terms, if an individual owes money there must be an expectation that debt administration agencies may become involved. If a debt is sold on, then clearly the third party organisation which purchases the debt needs personal data about the individual concerned in order to pursue the matter further.

 

I would suggest you need to contact both Kingshill and Cabot to establish the current situation. You should ask them to clarify who is currently dealing with the alleged debt and try to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Gary Jones

Re: Barclaycard account

 

We write in relation to your letter dated 20 January 2006 in relation to the above account.

 

'We' ???? did they need help to write it.... ?

2006.... Hmmmm easy mistake...

I note from our records that on 20 November 2006 the above referenced Barclaycard account was recalled by Barclaycard and confirm that Cabot no longer hold the account.

 

20 November 2006 ???? It has taken them more then two months to tell me...

Cabot ????? Surely they mean Kings Hill (No.1) Ltd

We are currently investigating your matter further and shall provide you with a response to your letter in due course.

Anyway... Just sent this response to the ICO:

 

 

Dear Mr ICO,

 

Please forgive my prior lack of clarification. They have confirmed in writing that the owner of this debt is Kings Hill (No.1) Ltd and that they have appointed Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd as their agents. Since taking ownership of this debt, all correspondence and copy statements have been sent by Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd.

 

I appreciate and do not dispute that as the legal owner of the debt Kings Hill (No.1) Ltd have the right to process my personal data. However, my concern is that they have disclosed this personal data to Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd and that they have now commenced with the processing of my personal data.

 

The question, I need answered is:

 

Under the DPA, are Kings Hill (No.1), as a "Data Controller" permitted to disclose personal data (as defined by the DPA) to another "Data Controller", in this instance Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited and for this second "Data Controller" to start processing my personal data without my consent or my knowledge ?

 

I would really appreciate a clear and concise, answer to this question. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for your time and assistance in relation to this matter.

 

Regards
