    • 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.

My GF has some debts and we decided to CCA them for the sake of it. On replied so far, eversheds with the following letter.

Im aware that I could well indeed CCA the original finance company but im wondering what this letter means from eversheds point of view and any ideas as to what any of you pro's would do next.

 

I was under the impression they should be in possession of this paperwork to be able to legally claim this debt. We are not trying to squirm out of the debt, i just want to cause them as much stress as I can in my free time.

 

Note they also kept the £1 postal order.

They are trying to slope their shoulders and fob you off.

 

You could write to the OC and ask for a copy of the credit agreement, however I would be inclined to write back to Eversheds and state that under s175 of the CCA they have a legal obligation as the agent of the OC to pass on your CCA request. I would also ask them for a copy of their complaints procedure as they seem to be ignoring this legal obligation.

 

If they don't resolve your complaint you can report them to the FOS who will charge them £400 for just investigating the complaint.

Looks to me like a standard letter where the link to the name of the 'original finance company' should have been in a mailmerge. I have sent CCA letters to several DCA's (not including eversheds) and in each case they have written back to say they have asked the original lender for the documents. Looks like serious laziness on Eversheds' part. Incidentally I have had three replies today where they regret (!!!) they can't find the agreement - that added to the two who have already replied including MBNA who have said i won't be hearing from them again :D I suppose you will have to contact the original lender yourself and send another pound - disgraceful!!

BANK CHARGES

Nat West Bus Acct £1750 reclaim - WON

I asked the missus and she says she does not know wheather the DCA is acting as agent or have purchased the debt. Im inclined to think agent as she only started struggling to pay it 1 year ago when it was passed on and has kept up the £1 a month payment since then.

 

Funny thing is this debt is for £7k and they accept £1 a month ... How do these people make money ??

I dont want to be a pain but im not very good at wording letters.

 

Could someone give me a idea what to write with regards to the DCA saying to contact the original finance company.

 

Im aware that they should have this paperwork so I want them to know that I know they have a legal obglation to supply me with this information and for them to send it.

 

Will there 12 days still run from the first letter I sent if I send another request ?

 

Thanks for any help.

Or should I just sit and wait for the 12 +2 +30 days to pass and then contact them.

I agree with Ben, just give them a little rope and they will hang themselves. Your complaint always looks better when they have chased you after failing to provide an agreement.

My missus recieved another letter today from cabot who we also CCA'd

 

Could someone advise if this is just a standard template cabot use and should I disregard it and continue counting the days. They also returned the £1 postal order and its been added to my files incase its ever needed to make a complaint against this company, which if we can we will.

 

Has anyone else had this letter and what happened in the following weeks ?

Standard template....just file it. Again you don't need to do anything until they produce an agreement.

Another thing, why have they returned the fee starting they do not accept this staturory fee.

Is this done in good faith or is this done to complicate things or try and worm out of it ?

Some accept it some don't, it makes no difference to their legal obligation to comply with your request.

  • 3 weeks later...

OK the nice people at Cabot replyed today.

Now im pretty sure (around 99.9%) that this is an application form and NOT and CCA.

But my missus needs her arm twisting to believe me so could someone please comment on the following scan.

Please note the clue that its an application in the bottom left.

 

Is this enforcable ?

 

There is no APR, no credit limit, the form was filled in by hand by my missus.

 

If not what is the next corse of action to take.

 

many thanks.

 

Ash.

Well if you can't read it it doesn't comply with the Act anyway. Copies have to be legible.

Lets assume its an application form which im pretty sure it is. I cannot see the APR or a credit limit.

 

It says on it (which you cant see in the scan but I can make out)

If your application for this credit card is approved blah blah blah

 

So what would the next step be ? SHould we write to them stating this is not a CCA ?

 

Thanks
