    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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 there and welcome to CAG.

 

Not everyone here knows about tax credits so you need the right people to turn up and see your posts. So please bear with us, you've only been here since 2pm :).

 

I'll start a new thread of your own and flag it for the site team's attention.

 

My best, HB

have you been invited to an interview under caution.

 

hmrc mostly likely got their evidence together and need to hear what you have to say.

council tax and electoral: your partner should have been removed from these. your ex should not have stopped over night except in emergency circumstances. from what you have said its going to be hard to explain why you didn't do it. there argue you would have known about it for the 25% discount

 

again your partner staying overnight is a big no no. except in emergency circumstances and i don't think you have met that

 

using a joint account: again is a big no no. and i guess they wont believe you. part of their check now includes who puts money in and who withdraw its

 

joint mortgage is no so bad as its hard to remove one name from a mortgage because the mortgage want to protect its investment

 

we can only go by what you are saying

my advice is if your partner is living you then come clean and explain why you did it. a £5000 overdraft is one factor. you will have to repay every penny back but hopefully you would avoid the courts

 

beware the fraud team collect vast amounts of evidence so beware they could have other evidence for example job application forms for you ex giving your address catalogue companies delivering stuff to your address and loans all taken out at your address

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.

first offence: no but as i said we can only go by what you tell us. if he has his own address in london then maybe he has evidence to prove it. does he pay council tax or rent. has he had loans etc at this address and insure is own car from this address.

if he can then you properly get a warning about letting your ex stop over night. dont know how you can explain the joint account

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.

Hi folle.

 

It's easier said than done, I know but you need to calm down - you will drive yourself to distraction worrying what may or may not happen.

 

Tax credit very rarely prosecute. Very rarely. To reassure you about that, I've helped people with hundreds of tax credit cases where an allegation of fraud has been made. Of those hundreds, I've seen only one prosecution. In most cases the investigation is a civil one, where the aim is solely to recoup the money lost - sometimes with an added financial penalty. Requesting a years worth of bank statements is perfectly normal; this happens in almost all compliance enquiries when they are investigating a potential undeclared partner. They also usually ask for a host of other documents such as utility bills, mortgage docs, wage slips, council tax bills. The issue that I forsee is one of proof, as a previous poster said. All the paperwork available appears to point to him having a partnership with you. Even in cases where it's been decided fraud has occured, prosecution is rare with tax credit. However, if you haven't already spoken to your husband, I would suggest that you do if he's approachable. He may have some documents which disproves their allegations and which could help you. Also, if you are legally seperated then the paperwork in relation to that would help.

 

As a consumer forum, we'll help where we are able to with your tx credit issues. Also because we are a consumer forum, we are unable to assist you with your the feelings you are experieincing at the moment. I know that you have gone to your GP and have obtained medication but if you are feeling in despair, I would urge you to contact the Samaritans. You can link to them here: Talk to Someone

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

 

 

Please do not seek, offer or produce advice on a consumer issue via private message; it is against

forum rules to advise via private message, therefore pm's requesting private advice will not receive a response.

(exceptions for prior authorisation)

as above. tax credits rarely prosecute and if i'm right the ones that are prosecuted are the ones were they have damming evidence and they still refuse to admit guilt. speak to the CAB they are best to help and right now they are the best to help

:???: what me. never heard of you never had a debt with you.
