    • 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.

found this on the SCABOT WEBSITE

Why has my account been sold?

You may have stopped paying your account altogether or not kept up with the minimum monthly contractual payment. Your lender will usually have attempted to recover the money you owe which may have included action by a debt collection agent. Your account has been sold if a satisfactory response has not been made by yourself.

Why didn't my lender tell me?

You would have signed a Credit Agreement with the lender when originally opening this account with them. This Credit Agreement allows the lender to sell your account, and all of the rights under that agreement, to another company. They are not required to give you advanced notice of this.

You will normally receive a letter from the lender advising you of the sale of your account and at the same time Cabot Financial will send you a letter which acts as legal notification of the change of ownership.

What if I haven't heard from my lender?

Your lender would have attempted to contact you when you first fell behind with your payments. They may have spoken with you quite recently or indeed their attempts to contact you might have been unsuccessful.

Their lack of success has resulted in your account being sold to us. You should not therefore attempt to contact your original lender - they will only refer you back to us.

What happens to my credit record?

The lender may have marked your credit record with a 'default' at or around the time that you fell behind with your contractual repayments. This action may prevent you from obtaining other forms of credit. In addition, a County Court Judgement (CCJ) may also have been entered on the credit records in association with your account.

Cabot Financial work closely with the Credit Reference Agencies to ensure that your credit record is updated to reflect the payments made to us and show the actual status of your account at the end of each month.

If there is a CCJ on record for an account that you settle with us, we will provide you with the documentation for the CCJ to be marked as 'satisfied' on your credit record.

Hi

 

Yes, I have also seen something like that. I think it was an in-house DCA, Arrow Global who I think are listed as dormant and when the person had sent a cheque payable to Arrow, it was the bank (can't remember which one) who cashed it. They claimed that they were able to change the A/C payee to themselves!!

Priority One, banks cannot alter the payees name-but especially not when it

is a limited company that is involved. What they can do is enter anything on

the cheque that the drawer has not filled in-the date, the payee, the amount

in words or figures. But in no circumstances can they effect a material

alteration without the drawers permission.

I was told they could. My in-house DCA is reg. as dormant/non-trading, but my CCA request was banked by them. It was clearly made out to the DCA and banked with their name on it - as have other transactions. The DCA has collected payments from me for 4 years on behalf of Liars & Leicester !! I was told on Legalites that this was ok because banks could alter the payee details on a cheque.

 

Sorry if I am hijacking here... but it ties in with what Debtmountain said.

 

I thought it strange at the time... but the advice came from someone with loads of green blobs !!

I read on the Legalities thread that the bank can adjust the payee on a cheque.... I didn't think they could do this. Aren't we meant to initial any changes ?

 

If this is the case why bother with the Account Payee stuff - were open to all sorts of mishaps happening with chques then?? Something seriously wrong if that is the case??

 

But wouldn't it be the "company" banking the cheque making the changes? I can't fathom how they've got away with this as Kings Hill - Cabot's - not a "mere" typo is it?

 

I am very curious as to how this has happened.

If a cheque is for a small amount, the banks don't even check the payee. In days gone by you could have written a cheque out to Micky Mouse and providing it was for less then £5k it would mostly likely have been processed.

 

Things have moved on these days and the limits have been reduced, but for cheques for £1 (cca) and £10 (S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)) the banks simply won't even check the payee

Hi PriorityOne

 

I got my wires crossed a bit in my last post - it was actually your case that I was thinking of - Global (not Arrow Global) - well close!.:o

 

It was A&L who told you this and I've copied the part from your thread:

 

With reference to the issue raised regarding why payments made to Global Debt Management Services (no mention of Limited) are banked by Alliance & Leicester this is due to the fact that Global Debt Management (still no mention of Limited) work on behalf of Alliance & Leicester as an inhouse debt recovery team and therefore use the same banking facilities (so, what's the advantage to you of doing that then, eh?...and, why do my statements show payments being collected by Global and not A & L PF ?)

No they are not... but my bank statements show debit card payments going to them by name from 2002 - 2005.

 

Going back to the cheque issue though... even if the amount is small, say £1 - £10 to the in-house DCA or whatever, how can it get paid into the bank account of a creditor with a completely different name ? Can they really "share" bank accounts to this extent ?

Well there is no mention there that they are altering the payees name. In

fact all it says is that that they both share the same bank, so the payments

may well be getting paid into Global's account. In the recent past, it was

possible to endorse cheques that were crossed a/c payee only to be paid

into other accounts. But this practice was stopped a few years back with an

amendment to the Cheques Act, I think. But in the case of limited companies,

even without a/c payee only added, it should not be possible to endorse

a cheque from one limited company to another.

 

If you believe, or are sure that your money is not going into the account

that you have denoted as the payeee on your cheque, you could ring your

friendly Inland Revenue office and ask if it is correct that you are making

payments to a supposedly dormant limited company, but the company is

paying the cheques into the account of another limited company. If you say

that you are worried that the paper trail left by your cheques does not tie

up with the actual account it is supposed to, and you are worried that sometime down the line, they may come back to you and say they have no record of having received payments from you, and is this practice ok in their

eyes?
