    • 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.

Hi there, do you have any idea on filling out self-assessments (uk) - My background..

 

Basically, I had an injury with left me unable to work before the 2015-16 tax year started. I was self-employed with my own business which I officially ended a few days into tax year, and had a day job but didn't work the entire year due to my injuries so was on SSP (Statutory Sick Pay). My boss held the job open for when I recovered after the tax year, the SSP ended, and went in to ESA and then also later in that tax year PIP.

 

So my query:

1. At the end of the year instead of a P60 my boss sent me a P60U, was I meant to be given a P60 as well, seeing as I was just on SSP?

 

2. Does the P60u cover the ESA & PIP, or was I meant to be sent something for PIP as well to put in my self-assessment?

 

Many thanks, even if you can just answer 1. or 2. !!

When I received SSP the DWP sent me a P60 as the money is paid tax free but is liable to tax. on your SA form there should be a space for other income so you can specify it and any tax already paid by either PAYE or collected as an advance against the year's total expected tax take.

thanks for your info - I already have the figures from my P60U in the later part of the SA. But for the income amount for the 'total pay' of my day job 'from P60' and 'tax taken off' part, I have just got '0' amounts - as I didn't get a P60, so does anyone have an idea whether it would be okay to leave it as that?

you could ask the tax office using either your NI number as a reference or the number on the P60 that identifies the tax centre. they will be able to tell you what tax has been collected on that particular employment.

If the true answer is 0 then put that in the box and the calculations will take that into account. (if online)

^Thanks (yes, online):

1. Am not a fan of ringing them up as the time/cost getting through in the past, etc. am not in a rush atm, so would like to explore whether an alternative method if possible?

2. For my PIP, didn't receive any forms/annual statements so would have to look at my bank statements to work it out but am assuming its not a taxable benefit as I can't see anywhere to put it on the SA anyway, so atm I'm leaving it out. Hope this is right.

..My thinking would be to use my pay slips or amounts gone in to my bank statements in that tax year till my SSP ended, for the amount of the 'total pay' of the day job 'from P60' part, and for the 'tax taken off' part to leave as blank. Though my dilemma, not 100% sure the SSP would already be part of the ESA to leave out? I'm also using the PAYE reference code from my P60U as my 'day jobs' reference. I think this strategy is correct.

all benefits and pensions are taxable but they are paid without tax being deducted as most people dont actually have to pay tax on them because they are too poor to reach the tax threshold. Therefore you should put them down on a tax return. I believe that unless you agree with them to take any overpayment of benefit/underpayment of tax on said benefit as an adjustment to your tax code they will find it very difficult to recover any monies due if your pay is below a qualifying threshold.

Sorry i don't understand, would my current strategy for 1. work?

For 2. would it matter that I made '0' from self-employment work as I closed it on the 12th April, and that the benefits started well after I ended self-employment (but in the tax year)? I have got ESA on, but is there a spot to put the PIP on the self-assessment I can't find it? Many thanks again.
