    • 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 guys,

 

I'm currently self employed as an 'Entertainer' and 2016/17 my income was £2000 with expenses of £2500. I'm also on a 0 hour contract as a PAYE in an office where the tax gets taken automatically.

 

2015/16 my earnings for my self employment were roughly the same, I made a loss but I managed to get a tax refund on this. This year however, HMRC are saying that I owe them £1.50.

 

I'm thoroughly confused and yes, I obviously need an accountant, ha. I'd just like to hear any reasons why this is? My options were exactly the same as last year so could see what I put online on the last assessment.

not enough info, we would need to know what your tax code is and more about what you put on your SA form for earnings, expenses tax paid in your employment etc. HMRC may have tweaked your tax code for the year so taking everything into account it may be true that you owe £1.50 becasue they have undercollected from your employment.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Firstly, I just want to mention that I understand that I obviously need someone who know's what they're doing here (And I plan too!) It was just because the circumstances were not to dissimilar to 2015/16 so I used similar options with the different numbers.

 

Anyway, some more info for you.

Sole Trader

Income £2000

Expenses £2500

It says you owe as i think it is do with the rounding down/up throughout the year as i has the same problem. If you want to offset your self employment losses against your PAYE you need to complete one of the boxes by putting in your net loss and this then generates the refund

Thank you.

 

Under the self-employed section 4 - I've filled out profit with loss £2500 Which shows (Net business loss for tax purposes: £ 435.00)

 

Even if I removed my "employed" section the results are still the same with how much I'm owing. Which section am I missing here?

Just to add, the paper returns seems to be different to online. (capital gains section)

a couple of sections up, the main title is something about losses, the first question is Loss from this tax year set off against other income for 2016-17, the second is loss to be carried back to previous year(s) and set off against income (or capital gains) third question total loss to carry forward after all other set offs including unused losses brought forward. You complete the first box putting in the £435 and this then calculates at the end.

Thank you. That seems to be it, it's now telling me I'm owed £85. Which obviously needs to go towards "Tax for dummies"

 

I'm going to wait until my p60 comes through to double check the details and send.

 

Thanks for your help. Hopefully business should be better next year, and yes I need an accountant.

 

Appreciated.

:-) no problem, it is the one box I keep forgetting to fill in every year! :oops:

 

Indeed, I'll know for next time now.

 

and, any tax refund can either be re a cheque, or on the paye. the form shld give you the option.

 

Mine have anyways come as a check, Ive not seen an option online. It does ask for my bank details but the last one was via cheque.
