    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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.

HMRC are making me bankrupt after there mistake. I asked for their help in filling in my tax return after my first year and had made a considerable loss, I was told where to put this and that I could claim it back. subsequently they paid a large sum into my bank even after i challenged them on the phone, I used the monies in my businesses to pay bills etc, after 2 years of trying to sort it out and offering payment plans and having sent a payment that was returned they are making me bankrupt, I am starting to wonder whether I should just give up and sign on so I get to have a nice life instead of working 15 hours a day 7 days a week and treated like a criminal by HMRC. Has anyone else been thru this?? any ideas??

hI We have been fighting these for the past three years, currently with Parliamentary Ombudsman. We are in our late 50s and registered disabled. This is their mistake again and wrong advice. lost paperwork and dow right lies. My file is 400 pages, been fined for not filling in forms that dont apply to us. Instead of Christmas cards we get threats of bankruptcy and distraint orders, called us liars coerced us into signing doc and the original adjudicator though this was fair. Now asked what file is being looked at is it ours or selected hi lightd from inland rev.

Surely if everyone starts to tell their stories of lies and treatment by them we can stop this.

I'm afraid my MP is absolutely useless as far as these matters are concerned. Debtors rank somewhat lower than dog dirt.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

As above it has worked for people in the past and in particular now that a general election will soon be upon us.

Contact their oponents as they will be interested in anything that your MP is ignoring ;)

 

I think I'm caught in the middle here .... the opponents rank lower than dog dirt. They certainly behave like it.

 

 

H-E-L-P!

I would be willing to collate everyones letters and complaints and send it all to HMRC complaints and my MP who is actually quite good and also get him to send it to the Parliamentry Ombudsman. If you all send your letters/experiences/complaints via email to me I would be happy to do this. What do you all think? We would need as many as we can get so would need to get the word out their. Email me at [email protected].

I got a letter in the door today, it said they (HMRC) were seeking to levy distraint against me.

 

My accountant filed my tax return last year but filed for 13 months instead of 12 plus 1.

 

HMRC sent it back but I did not see this envelope. I always get post from HMRC that is not relevant to me (PAYE for example). As far as I knew I had made my return and paid my tax. This delay was my mistake. As soon as it was discovered we split the return in two and sent it back to HMRC.

 

Turns out it was too late.

HMRC took my return as null and void and estimated my income. The tax calculated is just under 14000. I grossed 6000 last year (similar figure this year). I am training myself as I go so no large income yet. I registerd as self employed as I was surviving on my hobby turned profession as an IT person I wanted to do right by the tax man..

 

I met my accountant through a mutual friend and he said a company was the best way to go as there were many flexible ways of getting financial help. So I went limited.

 

In my first year I was late in filing but paid Companies house the penalty in installments. They acknowledged my return. (which was also sent to HRMC)

 

It may sound like a joke to you but my assets are nothing close to 2000. I live mostly on hope and ambition.

Does this mean that I will be made bankrupt for penalties and tax that is not connected to the reality of my situation?

 

I am sure I am not the first and "the law is the law", but is there a way I can pay in installments.

I am not sure my punishment in proportional. Is there anything I can do?

 

I came here to post as I am not totally confident in my accountant anymore, I need to know what my real options are. Each time we speak he seems more interested in covering his behind so I need to know as much as possible from a different source.

 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

 

I will call HMRC tomorrow, I am still in shock

Hi

 

Did this so called accountant not offer you any insurance protection on him getting it wrong so that he would be responsible to HM instead of you. A lot of accountants offer this sort of insurance now, my hubby used to be self employed and his accountant offer this insurance now I'm going back over 10 years so it should have been improved by now.

I did not have any insurance, my cash flow was so erratic at the time I am sure I would not have taken him up on it if he had offered it which he did not.

Is it that dangerous to file a tax return that insurance is a good idea?

I just wanted to say hello I am legal and pay my taxes how can I help you today and issue an invoice at the end?

I would be worried about the threat of distraint, but not unduly so. They do this to my wife every year but don't carry it out.

 

That isn't to say they won't do it your case of course. Keep talking to them. Unlike debt collectors they don't and won't go away, but they can be pacified if you 'show willing'.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

Thaks for your responses.

I called the collections offices who tell me that they made an estimate and I sould contact another office in central london.

I will still have to pay the penalties which amout to just under 1500.

The figure would make a very significant difference in my life but I will not complain. I know I am lucky.

Thank you for responding
