    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

Last month my Dad lent us his car and we have now bought it from him and are officially the new owners.

However, I've now come to tax the car and it says there was no tax on the car for August (we bought it in the last week of August) and it can only now be taxed from September 1st, leaving a month gap without a SORN.

 

 

I realise now that my Dad must have had August refunded but we didn't realise this until now.

Is there any way I can backdate the tax?

that's quite usual if a car is sold

you wont get a fine for it

happens everyday.

they might even backdate it automatically

just fill it in

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thank you. I've set up online monthly payments now but there is still a gap for August that I can't backdate.

 

 

I've been driving the car now for a week though without tax as the website wouldn't accept the old ref number so we had to wait for the new V5C to come.

 

 

How sympathetic will the DVLA be if I phone and offer to pay for August?

 

 

I've been reading how strict it is now and I'm worried we've already incurred a fine.

All of this has crossed my mind but if I'm honest we have used the car and may well have been caught on ANPR camera so I can't think of anything to do other than be honest and say we messed up. I tried to phone them to see if we could pay for August but couldn't get through so I've tried to message them on Twitter and they haven't replied. No idea what to do now!

We know but not for 1 MTS missed during sale

Would be very unfair

Alicat,

your post #1 is a little confusing. You say that you borrowed the vehicle last month, which would be August and later purchased it (still August) Yet you imply that your father Sorned or submitted V5c for change of ownership and obtained a refund for August. This must have been in July, as no part month is refunded.

 

Can you please give a date/time line :-

a) When you borrowed vehicle.

b) When he sent off the V5c for change of ownership.

c) When you received the new V5c in your name and the date of change shown on it.

d) did he at anytime submit a SORN before you used the vehicle?

 

There is provision on the DVLA website for new owners to apply for tax using the 12 digit reference number as shown on the V5c/2 'green' slip that he should have given to you before he sent in the V5c.

My time as a Police Officer and subsequently time working within the Motor Trade gives me certain insights into the problems that consumers may encounter.

I have no legal qualifications.

a) When you borrowed vehicle.

Around the 16th August.

b) When he sent off the V5c for change of ownership.

25th August

 

c) When you received the new V5c in your name

4th September

 

and the date of change shown on it.

24th August

 

d) did he at anytime submit a SORN before you used the vehicle?

No, the car was always taxed and in use.

 

We tried to use the 12 digit reference number as shown on the V5c/2 'green' slip but it was 'invalid'

we assumed we had to wait for the new one.

 

 

With hindsight we should have asked for advice at a Post Office but we thought

- wrongly

- we'd be ok waiting for the new new V5C.

 

 

I'm assuming they have refunded him for all of August and we were expected to back date our tax payments.

 

 

I'm happy to pay but this but have no idea how to and still can't get through to the dvla.
