    • 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.

Stab, If they have run to form they will have also posted defaults on your credit record. This means you will be unable to get credit off any other card companies too.

Might be worth getting a copy of your credit record to check. I think Experian and the other companies do a one off for free service on the net or they do a statutory one for a few pounds in the post.

I did miss payments (3 I think) and I don't think they actually added any extra charges in that time other than interest, so I can't really argue the defaults at any case.

Unless maybe I argue that I only had the credit card as a result of being charged unlawfully on my regular account.

TBH I just want to get my unlawful charges back and pay off my HSBC OD, CC and eventually, loan and get rid of them forever!!!!!!

 

I still can't believe they never told me the account was closed since September and that had I not queried it today I may not have found out for months on end!!!! Such a circus!!!

The argument to use is that if they hadn't levied unlawful penalty charges, subsequent payments would have been met without a problem & therefore defaults would not have been entered. If you do pursue this, make sure they remove them completely rather than mark them as satisfied.

 

If you go to the experian or equifax websites, it can be a little difficult to find the link for ordering your statutory £2 credit report as they prefer you to buy a monthly subscription.

So here are the links for each.

  • 3 months later...

Hi To All,

 

I started a claim initially back in March. I sent my prelim and LBA with a full breakdown with each letter and sent them recorded delivery. I followed all the guidance from this (fantastic) website and used the template letters.

 

Following my prelim, I received a standard 'we'll look into your complaint', after two weeks I sent my LBA to which I received an offer letter. My claim was for £3069, the offer was for £1681, explaining how I was clearly misguided, their charges being lawful and so on.

One week later they sent another letter stating they had not heard from me and presumed the matter was closed.

 

Now, to explain, the delay from sending my LBA and taking any court action AND the reason I didn't respond to their offer was, that of being seriously ill and in and out of hospital after major surgery in December and being diagnosed with cancer which obviously required treatment since. And only now am I well enough to be able to deal with this again.

 

 

So, before I begin any new correspondance, I wanted to seek any advice you guys could offer.

 

I was thinking I would send another LBA style letter acknowledging the offer and incorporating the 'response to settlement offer' letter.

 

However, I recently learnt that my credit card with HSBC was defaulted and closed in September. They did not let me know at all, I was making a slightly reduced fixed fee each month after missing a couple of payments. Three days after my surgery HSBC insisted I go to a branch to discuss my account and had frozen my current account as a result until I did.....I hadn't even been discharged at this point and needed money for my prescriptions and food for when I was.

 

 

So I was also wondering if I can now incorporate the 'removel of default' request into my claim for my current account, considering HSBC can link the two accounts when they see fit.

 

 

Any advice you guys can offer will be very much appreciated and extremely valuable to me. As you can imagine finances have been very tight theses last 6 months. Thanks and good luck to all fellow fighters.

First off welcome, you've come to the right place. Secondly, I'm sorry to hear of your illness, HSBC's attitude sucks in all honesty.

 

If it were me, I would send the second LBA-style letter, giving them the standard 14 days to reply in a satisfactory manner, acknowledging the offer and rejecting it outright, unless of course you're happy to accept it as a partial settlement on the understanding that you WILL be pursuing the balance. I find it easier to reject outright.

 

As for the removal of default, I'm not 100% sure on this point but if as you say you were seriously ill and unable to manage your finances at that point, I personally can't see why they wouldn't. Someone may well of course come along and correct me on all of this so please don't take just my word for it.

 

I wish you well in your fight...stick it to'em, stick it to 'em good!!!!! :)

 

Best of luck

Hi Rayne,

 

Thanks for the reply and your support. I think that's the route I'll take, but I'm going to read around a little more and wait a couple of days for any additional advice before I send the letter, just so I know where I am. I'll let you know how the draft goes!

 

Fingers crossed!

Did I hear my name mentioned ???

 

Hiya Stabilo, glad to hear your feeling well again... you go get the Sh*t bags :)

 

As Rayne said send off a new LBA, just change the first line to "you are disapointed with their negative response to your claim" and give them 14 days before you file your claim.

 

Have you done a claim schedule for your credit card yet ?

 

as always, anything your not sure about let us know and one of us will jump in and help you

Hi Pete,

 

Thanks for your advice again!

Think it would have been best to keep my thread seperate....but it's been mashed together!!!:confused:

 

Anyway, I've not started a schedule for my CC with HSBC, because oddly enough they have never added any cherges other than interest...no penalty fees at all when I missed payments & I've never been over my limit on it!

 

I'm going to draft my new letter to HSBC on Monday, after I've done my homework....slowly but surely.

 

Thanks all!
