    • Sorry about that, TJ. The person who posted it specifically said it was free access. Here's another version of the FT article. https://archive.is/KYrPa
    • Isnt there some indication in there of at least intent to inform arbuthnot? IF he wasn't then it would seem to be Vennells decision to keep him 'uninformed .. Although seems to me if arbuthnot was unaware - he was either incompetent or should have very detailed records of denials. Seems vennells is constantly at the core of all the lying about all these issues though.

    • 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 All,

 

I understand that financial advise is not to be requested but without specifics, can anyone explain this ?

 

I contribute to a group company pension and that contribution is deducted from my wages as a percecentage of my earnings. I have an o/l account with my provider and they allow me to make extra payments into my fund as and when I can afford it.

 

I have done this twice with a few hundred pound , each time I have paid a small lump sum in , the provider adds a tax relief of 25 %. So if I pay £200.00p in they tell that I get £250.00p paid into my fund. Which i think is fine , but where's the catch ?

 

Why don't I simply pay a small amount into my fund via my wages and then top it up with a lump sum payment which gives me a 25% bonus. Is HMRC really giving a dividend of 25% on monies invested ?? Or does it come off my personal allowance.

 

It just seems too good to be true. Or am I just missing something ?? Or am I just thick ?

 

TYVM.... GB...

On the assumption the money came from your salary, you already paid tax on it, this is you getting the tax on that payment back. Pension input payments are tax free

I assume you are not in the higher tax bracket, as you would principally get 40% back.

 

Depending upon your company you may be able to pay the same amount, which would come out before tax. But there is no real benefit to you.

Many thanks ...

 

So I'm claiming back tax that I have already paid through my wages deductions - That I pay into a pension that they will tax me on when I try and live on it ? And the provider will charge me to admininister the fund aswell.

 

See now it all makes sense.... Basically there is no benefit to me at all .... only to HMRC and the pension Provider.

 

No point taking out a 10 k loan and moving it into my pension then ?? lol..

 

But saying that , what if dear Aunt Maud leaves me 10 k in her will and I paid that into my pension fund ??

 

thnx again GB.

Pensions are deferred pay so you put the money in now (your lump sum payment will be after tax has been paid on it ) and the taxman gives the pension scheme the tax paid and when you retire the amount you get as a pension is treated as taxable income. The advantage of this is all of the capital gain is tax free and you get personal tax relief as well so you reduce the actual tax paid quite substantially as well as having a bigger pot courtesy of HMRC.

If you chuck aunty Maud's £10k into your fund that will attract a tax break as well ( you pay tax on the rest of your income so the taxman calls it the same income pot) as long as your earnings are above a certain threshold in that year.
