    • Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

    • 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.

Hello all,

 

I have a difficult problem I think. I bought a bike from e-bay in Jan 2013 and after waiting about 4 weeks I had not received the new V5C for it. I had the current tax disc which was to expire on 31 March.

 

I called the DVLA to tell them I did not have the V5C yet and asked if the new keeper part had been sent to them byt the previous owner, they confirmed that it had not.

 

I asked what to do, they said print a form from their website and fill it in and send them the small green part that we had been gievn by the previous owner, they would then issue a V5C.

 

So I did this, but I put the wrong chassi number on the form (i have never owned a bike before and didn't know where it was!) so I got a letter back saying the chassis number was wrong and to find the correct one. This took a bit of time as I did not have a manual for the bike, so tried to find the info online, couldn't find it.

 

Called the DVLA when the tax was about to expire and advised that I was having problem finding the chassis number on the bike, they suggested taking the bike to a garage so they could find it but the battery was dead and I had no way of transporting it. I explained to them that the tax was about to expire but the bike is in my back garden not on the road and not running at the moment due to dead battery! They said not to worry about that I just need to get the V5C sorted out and I could tax it after that.

 

So I had an idea, I lloked on the number plate and it had a garage name (probably where it was orignally purchased from) called them and they were very helpfull and described to me where the chassis number is. sent the info to the DVLA around mid April (I know this seems like a long time butI have been extremely stressed and busy!)

 

Anyway I got the V5C approx a week and a half ago, and then on Monday this week I receievd a fine from the DVLA for no tax or sorn - £40 to pay by 4 July or £80 after and to pay the outstanding tax which isn't much.

 

But I do not feel that this should be MY fine, it should be the previous owner, had he sent the form off to the DVLA then I would have had the new keeper V5C back in time and taxed it straight away - also I was TOLD by the DVLA not to wrry about it till I had the bike registered in my name!

 

Any advise please??

Hi Conniff,

 

Not really, if you look at my other recent thread then you might understand why I haven't made this a high priority! but I was also told by the DVLA when I called them and explained that I was having trouble finding the chassis number, that i didn't need to worry about the tax untill it was registered to me.

There seems to be a lot of excuses in there of why you didn't make a priority of this.

 

Sorry Myfamily but I have to agree with Conniff. There is a lot of excuses as to why this didn't get done in the 2 months+ you had to do it.

 

You won't be able to prove what was said on the phone so I would just pay up and lesson learned.

 

I would have also typed into Google: 'Where is the chassis number on my moorbike'

I have noticed as well as the fine you have been asked to pay outstanding tax. I think this is why you have been fine even though the DVLA said you would be ok. In the past I have purchased my tax late and always been asked if I am backdating to expiry of last disc. That is usualy within a week or two. I think because you case is months, then you could only pay back to start of month of purchase and you have been fined for the missing month or two.

 

Also, if the bike was in your garden and not being used, why did you not just request the DVLA sorn it until the tax issue was sorted?

None of us are here to criticise anyone, so forgive me if that's how this comes across.In your initial post you said you put the wrong chassis number on the form because you didn't know where it was. Where did you get the number from?I'm surprised you weren't told to just apply for a Registration Document in your own name. It costs around £20, you send it off to DVLA, they contact the previous owner to confirm they no longer have the vehicle and you get one back in your own name.Don't rely on DVLA, or anyone for that matter, to confirm something in writing that has been said over the phone.Best to just pay the fine/charge.RegardsSignaller

PS: If you had the green slip from the previous owner, you could have used that to tax the bike. You wouldn't have had to pay the £20 (ish) and you would still have got a V5 in your name!!!

Hi Signaller,

 

The first number that I put on the form I found under the seat where the battery was (not on the battery, but on the bike) it seemed to fit in the number of characters needed. DVLA got back to me asking for the chassis number so I assumed the number I had given them before must have been wrong.

 

The form that I completed was a V62 which is the application for a vehicle registation certificate which normally costs £25 but there is no fee in some circumstances, the form states "If you are the new keeper and the previous keeper failed to tell us

about the change, you must have the New keeper’s details section (V5C/2) from the V5C and send it to us with this application form"

 

And this is excatly what I did after waiting initially for about 4-5 weeks and then ringing the DVLA who advised me to fill in the above form etc.

 

I did have the green slip and sent it off with the form, but when I rang near the end of March after getting the letter asking for the correct chassis number and I advised them that the tax was about to run out and that there was a mix up over the chassis number, I was advised "not to worry about the tax!"

 

What am I supposed to do when I was just following advise, I always kept in contact to try and get it sorted out but they couldn't tell me where to find the right number and other circumtances at home were stressfull enough! .

 

Anyway - they have had my letter of appeal for about a week and half now, so will hopefuly here from them soon, I advised them also to check with the person I was dealing with regarding the new registration and issues with the chassis number, so when I hear back from them I'll update you.

Hi Surfer,

 

I'm already too late! mis-read the letter it was 2nd July not 4th.

 

I suppose I'll have to wait then to see what they say!

 

While you are here, I wonder if you can help me? On my other thread re First Plus, I am looking for the firstplus complaints group, their website is now gone but I remember that they said they had created a facebook page but I cannot find it.

I believe you were a member there too, do you know what the group is called?

 

Thanks

No idea. It seemed to die a slow death as hardly any posts in several months.
