    • 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.

Oh no, how awful, how could they do that??

 

My card is suspended cos I went over my limit and and then got behind with payments cos of the charges so when they credited the account with my £300 they said they were taking it off the balance and not the arrears so I was still in arrears even though my balance is showing less than my credit limit. When I sign in to my online account it says card suspended but I can still check my statements.

Hi Ukianib

 

I received a identical letter from MBNA. The first offer I rejected but didn't cash the chq. They then offered a second settlement which excluding the first offer, offered the full amount without going to court. So I accepted the first payment and second payment in full.

 

This may I add to be payed to ME.

I thought I read somewhere that Bryan Carter were 'not quite whiter than white'? :confused: I think we should be careful dealing with them because I also thought Bryan Carter had been removed from the Solicitors Roll...need to check this. MBNA are very keen to use YOUR money :mad: to pay to the DCA - why? If the debt has been sold then they already have (a) money from the sale of that debt, and (b) an amount by way of tax relief from the Chancellor! ALL WITH YOUR MONEY!!! It is about time these bullies were taught a lesson they won't forget! :-x

Apologies for that...feeling much better now.

BEST WISHES TO ALL AS ALWAYS...............

Hi Dougal16T,

 

Yep I read that thread as well about Bryan and Carter but after sending it.

 

Nice to know the way they work, and use our money, was wandering why they offer a quick settlement, if you can pay it in one lump sum......sneeky blighters.

 

A good rant is welcomed anytime ;)

How on earth do you work out the APR, statments say 1.8735 so you times this by 12 to give you 22.482...but this is wrong, as it should be 24.9%

 

24.9% divided by 12 is 2.075...now I am getting :confused:

I sort of cheated on this bit as I couldn't work it out either. I modified a spreadsheet which originally showed 8% interest with a daily rate underneath. If you change it to the rate you need it adjusts the daily bit accordingly. I think it was one of Vamps, but it was a while ago so I'm not 100% sure. :)

Hi DizzyI done the same, as it uses the day of the offence(as when they charged you) to the day you put the date in the spreadsheet.I wander what I will go for £81 as a one of 24.9%, or £570 for CI from 04-06-04 till the date on spreadsheet.....hummmm I wander if you can call it theft?

Hi Wednesday1867,

just thought, I am sitting here going through my file for MBNA and noticed the postal order is still sitting here, where they returned it to me, suppose I could send it back to them, as a payment towards the remaining debt, rather than putting £10 in the bin.

well letter drawn up and posted, with the postal order, below is the letter..hopes it is in order...if its not then please someone shout.

Response to settlement offer.

Dear Emma,

Thank you for the letter’s dated 18th and 20th June 2007

Enclosed is a postal order for £10 which is payable to MBNA, I have returned this to you for crediting the account, as it is crossed, and can not be transferred.

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, one final time, that you return to me the remaining compounded interest imposed on this account, which has now an outstanding amount of £550.07.

In order to avoid litigation against you, I am prepared to temporarily accept the sum offered as partial settlement on the clear understanding that the remainder is paid within the next 10 days. Failure to comply with this request will result in legal action against you for full recovery plus cost’s and fee’s occurred.

For avoidance of doubt, I wish to stress that I do not accept your offer under the terms stated in your letter.

Also enclosed is an updated report of the charges, and the repayments you have paid.

 

Yours faithfully,
