    • 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,

 

This is my first post.

 

I am currently chasing Barclays for charges totalling over £2600 accrued over the past 6 years.

 

I started off with the usual.. sending out the template letters found on thisismoney.co.uk and through the money expert on GMTV's website. Barclays denied any fault but offered me £1000 in full and final settlement.

I was not prepared to take that given the full value of the charges I had incurred. They didnt even offer me 50%!!! Tight Gits.

 

Anyway having declined their offer and giving them 14days to get back to me, I heard nothing and so started the claim on the moneyclaim website.

 

On the second to last day they finally filed a defence and the case has now been passed to Bow County Court.

 

I received an acknowledgement from the court along with a copy of Barclays rather detailed defence which has left me feeling slightly worried. A few weeks passed and I heard nothing until just 2 days ago when I received a note from the court asking for more information. The court have now ordered that I file and serve a properly particularised claim identifying

 

1) the bank account

 

2) the period during which the said bank charges were incurred (I have provided this already so no idea why theyre asking again?!?)

 

3) & by reference to a schedule itemising the said charges which are to be reclaimed

 

4) & the basis upon which the claimant alleged the charges are recoverable from the defendent.

 

They have given me until 27th June to provide this info.

 

If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it as I'm not quite sure what they are expecting me to provide them with.

 

I am assuming they would like copy bank statements with charges highlighted. This is not a problem. Its mainly point 1 and 4 which confuse me.

 

Within their defence filed Barclays seemed quite determined that they will not be paying back my charges!! Its all a little scary. Can anyone offer any advice or has anyone been in a similar situation??

worth sending a message to a MOD I think, some courts have been striking out claims at this stage, so you may find it useful to look in the forum section above that has AQ as it's title, there are several things in there that are worth using, plus there are the recent defence strike outs, and if you ahve the original terms and conditionsm, that would be great - if not, check again in the forum pages above, under T&Cs and see if anyone else has posted them.

 

But def contact a mod! Oh and DAR£N...where is he...?

I may sound dumb but its been quite a while since I used a forum, can someone point me in the direction of a moderator who might have time to talk me through it? A lot of this stuff is going waaaay over my head!! :confused:

I think after re-reading it Kirsty, you should be fine if you go through the AQ link that Dar£n has added above, and drop your details into it where needed, and send off. I think the important thing is that the court want you to show that Barclays have something to answer to, so you need all the info you can get, which that AQ link will provide. After that, some strike out data (see threads below) will also help, if you can get the claim numbers from them, and an up to date SOC. Did the judge ask for anything from the bank? If so, can you type that here as well please, bcause it may be that the judge has ordered them to supply some info as well, in which case it may be very good news for you!

Do I have to send that AQ thing off to the court?

 

I have the SOC thing because I went thru all of my charges and inputted the dates and amounts onto an online interest calculator and printed off the lists. Is this what you mean? It shows the dates of the charges and the amounts.

 

Sorry for asking so many questions. This is all new to me and I feel a bit out of my depth.

Not at the moment - I think this is where the advice from someone else is needed. You need to send something similar to the AQ off to the court, but it may be that the court you are dealing with has dropped the AQ altogether, and has sent some quite good directions out to Barclays and yourself. that's why it's useful to see what the court have asked of the defendent. If they have asked (in more words) for standrad disclosure, then you can ring for a settlement, if only you have been asked to provide these details, then you need to send something that contains the AQ info to the court before the 27th.

 

Dar£n..any ideas?

Yes, but if Barclays have been orderded to supply the long winded standard disclosure info, as per the new style AQ system, then creating a deeper POC would be pointless, as Barclays won't file anything about their charging system.

 

I think before going through a lengthly indepth POC/AQ creation, it's worth checking that disclosure hasn'r been ordered...?

This is the trouble ordinary guys like us have to face....Some of these judges simply assume we all know what the hell theyre going on about.

 

Easiest way Kirsty is phone up your court and say, Hey, what is it you actually want me to submit?

 

Dont be intimidated, these people are very good, they wont talk down to you, they are there to advise you.

Ummm it was on money expert. You just type in the date and the amount that you were charged and it then calculates how much interest you can also claim from the bank on top of your charges.

 

Thanks for your help guys. You're really quick to respond. I appreciate this!

No probs Kirsty,

 

Post your first post in the link Dar£n just added, and see what response you get in there, also copy the link to this page (the bit in the address bar) and paste that in as well, so people can come here and read what has been put already.

 

That may help a bit more

Kirsty, there is the chance that you have the 'cheap' version of the spreadsheet, you will need to check that it automatically updates everytime you open the file..If the interest amount is the same as the day you completed it, then you will lose out what is rightfully yours.

The sheet on this site calculates the interest right to the day of settling.

 

It might mean you will have to download ours from the link I gave you and re-enter the details of charge description, date and amount.

[dont enter anything into the other columns]

dar£n - just saw this one another thread:

 

1. To the extent it is alleged that Claimant incurred bank charges on the Claimants account for unauthorised borrowings (whether unpaid fees for returned cheques, "Paid Referral fees" or any other such fees), the Defendant puts the claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof.

 

2. The Particulars of the claim are summary in nature. Accordingly, this defence is summary in nature and the Defendant reserves the right to amend this Statement of Case in due course.

 

xxxxxx

 

This is the same as point 1 and 2 that Barclays put on the defence filed for my case also. (I can remember because I read it so many times trying to make sense of it LOL) So I would assume that the defence filed for my case is the same as the defence filed for the case I was reading about earlier on here. Does that shed any light on anything??

Yeh, thought so, this is why you have been asked to submit the details.

 

Send in your SOC's with you acount number/s and sort code clearly visible.

and also the POC's from the link earlier.

 

send them recorded delivery to both parties. [you can hand deliver to the court if you want]

Whats a POC?

 

Do I need one to send one of those things to strike out their defence or whatever it does?

 

All of this is so confusing!! haha Sorry for the questions but your help is appreciated as always.

 

The court also asked for some information on why I think I have the right to claim these charges (but not in so many words) so what sort of thing can I send them? Is it worth sending to them a copy of the letter from Barclays offering me £1000 in full and final settlement? I know that in these letters Barclays state they are not accepting any liability and its a good will gesture but surely this proves they must have a guilty conscience about something? - or is it not worth including this?

Sorry to keep bothering everyone but I am at work and its hard to read thru the threads to find information without my boss seeing!

 

With reference to the New Strategy for AQ's and the below points:

 

The Claimant shall within 14 days of service of this order send to the Defendant and to the Court:

  • a) A schedule setting out each charge repayment of which is sought, showing the date, amount, and reason given (if any) for that charge being made;

  • b) Copies of any statement or other document relied upon as showing that each and every charge has been made;

  • c) A statement of evidence of all matters relied upon as tending to show that the charges are irrecoverable as penalties or otherwise;

  • d) Copies of decided cases and other legal materials to be relied upon.

Exactly what documentation should I send to the court for points C and D?

 

Again.... Thank you all for your help! xx
