    • Better version attached with the late appeal explained more clearly for the judge. This will sound silly, but I think it would be a good idea to e-mail it to the court and UKPC on Sunday.  It's probably me being daft, but Sunday is still March, and as it's late, sending it in March rather than April will make it sound like it was less late than it really is.  if you get my drift. You can still pop in a paper version on Tuesday if you want. E-mail address for the court: [email protected] And for UKPC: [email protected]   [email protected] Defendant WS.pdf
    • Update 15th March the eviction notice period expired, and I paid my next month rent along with sending them the message discussed above. After a short while they just emailed me back this dry phrase "Thank you for your email." In two weeks' time I'm gonna need to pay the rent again, and I have such a feeling that shortly after that date the contracts will be exchanged and all the payments will be made.  Now my main concern is, if possible, not to end up paying rent after I move out.  
    • they cant 'take away' anything, what ever makes you believe that?  dx  
    • The text on the N1SDT Claim Form 1.The claim is for breaching the terms and conditions set on private land. 2. The defendant's vehicle, NumberPlate, was identified in the Leeds Bradford Airport Roadways on the 28/07/2023 in breach of the advertised terms and conditions; namely Stopping in a zone where stopping is prohibited 3.At all material times the Defendant was the registered keeper and/or driver. 4. The terms and conditions upon  entering private land were clearly displayed at the entrance and in prominent locations 5. The sign was the offer and the act of entering private land was the acceptance of the offer hereby entering into a contract by conduct. 6.The signs specifically detail the terms and conditions and the consequences of failure to comply,  namely a parking charge notice will be issued, and the Defendant has failed to settle the outstanding liability. 7.The claimant seeks the recovery of the parking charge notice, contractual costs and interest.   This is what I am thinking of for the wording of my defence The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and are generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is denied. It is denied that the Defendant ever entered into a contract to breach any terms and conditions of the stated private land. 2. Paragraph 2 and 4 are denied. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was only contracted to provide car park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. 3. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of the vehicle. 4.  Paragraph 6 is denied the claimant has yet to evidence that their contract with the landowner supersedes  Leeds Bradford airport byelaws. Further it is denied that the Claimant’s signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 5. Paragraph 7 is denied, there are no contractual costs and interest cannot be accrued on a speculative charge.   I'm not sure whether point 4 is correct as I think this side road is not covered by byelaws? Any other suggestions/corrections would be appreciated.

    • 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.

now i have submitted an appeal they are really pushing me to agree a payment plan and i find that very suspicious.

 

Wait until they have carried out the appeal.

 

Any notion of a payment plan before then is a bit premature.

 

But do your own I&E and then you will be able to tell them what you can afford to pay back as part of a payment plan if needed.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Good advice.

In the appeal letter request that they consider holding recovery until the outcome of your appeal is known.

had a reply after my appeal

i will send the full content when i get home.

 

basically they are saying i cannot appeal because its law and sent me a DWP document stating regulation 23 of the housing benefit regulations 2006.

HB/CTB circular A30/2004 overpaid tax credits

38 if an overpayment of tax credits has occurred during a period i which HB/CTB was also payable, and the overpayment of tax credits is subsequently recovered, there is no provision in regulations to reassess the HB/CTB awarded for that period.

i have looked at regulation 32 and it dose not mention anything about overpayments

this is the actual document they have sent.

Regulation 32 Calculation of average weekly income from tax credits

(1)

This regulation applies where a claimant receives a tax credit.

 

(2)

Where this regulation applies, the period over which a tax credit is to be taken into account shall be the period set out in paragraph (3).

 

(3)

Where the instalment in respect of which payment of a tax credit is made is—

 

(a)

a daily instalment, the period is 1 day, being the day in respect of which the instalment is paid;

 

(b)

a weekly instalment, the period is 7 days, ending on the day on which the instalment is due to be paid;

 

©

a two weekly instalment, the period is 14 days, commencing 6 days before the day on which the instalment is due to be paid;

For the purposes of this regulation “tax credit’ means child tax credit or working tax credit.

 

 

 

 

 

HB/CTB Circular A30/2004

Overpaid tax credits

38 If an overpayment of tax credits has occurred during a period in which HB/CTB was

also payable, and the overpayment of tax credits is subsequently recovered, there

is no provision in regulations to reassess the HB/CTB award for that previous

period

The A30 means that the overpayment stands as it's the income you received at the time that they use. This also works in some people's favour as if you were underpaid tax credits for the period, they don't go back and decrease your HB.

Is your overpayment from your increased wages when you went self employed?

The overpayment was only a small amount I'm talking a couple of hundred. That's my gripe a couple of hundred over and they want thousands back

 

Have you spoken to your local MP or councillors?

 

Have you exhausted their complaints procedure?

 

Have you got them to explain FULLY, in language you understand, HOW they have arrived at the figures they're quoting you to be repaid??

How long ago was it calculated? If it's thousands it might go to the investigation team.

They are correct. The law has been correctly applied & they can not intervene.

Did you preside over this case then??

 

crock, you say your local MP isn't an option, so that tells me you've not exhausted all avenues of complaint, regardless of your opinion of your local MP and Cllrs, they have a DUTY to their constituents.

 

You need to tell them that the LA they preside over is failing its constituents, and failing to answer complaints in a language YOU understand.

 

You could of course, roll over and accept being royally shafted, which makes this whole post pretty pointless?

 

You asked for advice, some have given it, but you seem keen not to action any of it.

 

IF the LA has given you its final response, or a ''deadlock'' letter, then they will tell you who you can escalate your complaint to.

 

From what you say, this hasn't happened?

 

Go back to the LA, tell them you do not accept their response, and wish to escalate the complaint further, once its reached the top of their complaints process, they will issue you with a deadlock letter, or their final response, and it will give you the address or contact details of who you're able to escalate it to.

 

If you're unhappy with the response you get from the LA, then copy in your local MP and councillors along with your complaint, so as you can escalate this further, out of the LA's hands and onto the local government ombudsman.

 

The previous post is flippant at best.

No I didn't. What I'm saying is the councillor can't do anything and appeal is the only route.

 

What I am also saying is the law says that the HB can't be retrospectively adjusted because tax credits are which appears to be the crux of the matter.

It's a clarification of reg 32, which is law. You can challenge the circular but if you are going to go down that line you need to get professional help. What I would add is it sometimes works in people's favour - tax credits were underpaid but they don't go back and amend HB.

The crux of the matter is you had the income at the time the benefit was awarded and it was awarded and calculated on the correct circumstances at that time. i.e. you received the tax credits as an income.

 

You now have to pay it back, but you still had that income to spend at the time the HB was awarded and calculated, regardless of the overpayment that has now be calculated. as such you received the correct amount of HB at the time.

So all being said, there is a repayment that needs to be made, BUT, you disagree with the total amount yes?

actualy the crux of the matter is that i have not had the money ! its unfair unjust and probably illegal. they only target people who are not in a position to defend themselve. i was overpaid by a couple of hundred and they expect me to pay back 5k do you think that is fair ????

the system is intended to support people in need and at the time i was in need. but the LA are now manipulating the system making up rules and lying to raise revenue.

i disagree that what they are doing is legal. i know for a fact that if a judge says you owe money you owe money. but if you have paid the money back how can you still ow it and have it added to another debt ?
