    • Thank-you dx, What you have written is certainly helpful to my understanding. The only thing I would say, what I found to be most worrying and led me to start this discussion is, I believe the judge did not merely admonish the defendant in the case in question, but used that point to dismiss the case in the claimants favour. To me, and I don't have your experience or knowledge, that is somewhat troubling. Again, the caveat being that we don't know exactly what went on but I think we can infer the reason for the judgement. Thank-you for your feedback. EDIT: I guess that the case I refer to is only one case and it may never happen again and the strategy not to appeal is still the best strategy even in this event, but I really did find the outcome of that case, not only extremely annoying but also worrying. Let's hope other judges are not quite so narrow minded and don't get fixated on one particular issue as FTMDave alluded to.

    • the claimant in their WS can refer to whatever previous CC judgements they like, as we do in our WS's, but CC judgements do not set a legal precedence. however, they do often refer to judgements like Bevis, those cases do created a precedence as they were court of appeal rulings. as for if the defendant, prior to the raising of a claim, dobbed themselves in as the driver in writing during any appeal to the PPC, i don't think we've seen one case whereby the claimant referred to such in their WS.. ?? but they certainly typically include said appeal letters in their exhibits. i certainly dont think it's a good idea to 'remind' them of such at the defence stage, even if the defendant did admit such in a written appeal. i would further go as far to say, that could be even more damaging to the whole case than a judge admonishing a defendant for not appealing to the PPC in the 1st place. it sort of blows the defendant out the water before the judge reads anything else. dx

    • 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.

According to the DVLA when selling or buying a vehicle, the road tax should be changed immediately etc. and it can all be done Online. This not strictly true as we found out on Sunday.

 

 

Our previous car was taxed in the Disabled Tax class. We traded it in on Sunday and did all the paperwork with the dealership. No issue advising vehicle was not longer registered to us as done Online. We cannot have two vehicles registered to us as disabled.

 

 

We then did insurance for new vehicle and no problem. We then tried to do tax, but we were unable to do this due to the change of tax class of the new vehicle. Although I had all the documentation etc for mobility disability etc and it would have been available "Online" from the DWP as proof, the change of the tax class can only be done at a Post Office.

 

 

This left us in a bit of a quandary as we were over 100 miles from home, the traded in vehicle was no longer registered or insured to us so we could not use it anyway. The only way forward was to set up a Direct Debit so that we could drive home.

 

 

On Monday morning I went into the Post Office and did the change of tax class etc using the new keeper slip which was acceptable however there is now a direct debit set up on my account. Cost is about £28. The vehicle should have the disabled road tax from the Monday anyway. Do I cancel the DD or leave it for the funds to be deducted and then cancel?

 

 

I feel that the system discriminated against people who are disabled and purchase a vehicle over a weekend or after hours as the change of tax class cannot be done Online.

Thanks for the advice.

They have not taken any money yet as it is a new DD which is why I was wondering if I should cancel the DD?

In effect there may be two "road taxes" on the vehicle at present.

 

However as they have our details Online, why can't a disabled person do the tax change Online as it left us on a very sticky wicket.

After all others who are not changing a vehicle to the disabled tax can do it all Online and be legal within minutes?

 

As we were over 100 miles from home, I must admit to almost panicking when we found out that we could not do the tax Online.

Luckily the sales person suggested the DD route which seemed the best option at the time.

ours was a sunday too!

and 650 miles away!

 

its got something to do with the already stamped sheet for the last vehicle [that page from the pip award.]

apparently a human has to check the stamp and that can only be done at a PO.

 

it

was explained to me but it went over my head too.

 

when you get it back just cancel the DD

ours did get used, we got the £26 back into the bank account and a letter saying the DD can now be cancelled

  • 2 weeks later...

A DD was taken out of my bank on 29th Oct for Oct month and another DD went out today. Going Online to check it shows it is taxed until Oct 2019 and a breakdown underneath "Vehicle status" as "Not due". I have the new updated V5C showing that I acquired the vehicle on 14th Oct and the taxation class as "Disabled".

 

 

I am not sure whether the Tax until Oct 2019 is because of the DD or whether it is because of the Taxation class so I am a bit wary of cancelling the DD as do not want any issues with DVLA. We don't want another DD leaving our account at end of November especially with Xmas coming up.

 

 

Do I need to phone the DVLA to confirm that the vehicle is now taxed as Disabled until Oct 2019 and that I will get a full refund of the DDs paid or should I wait until they notify me? If we still had the old paper tax disc I probably would not be asking this question.

not due means disabled. exactly what ours said.

 

the DD's they took from us took about 10days to comeback into the account.

the letter also said that if the DD still showed then manually cancel it.

 

give it 2 weeks then if you've heard nowt give them a ring.

no not due is nothing to do with the dd... it means its not due as no tax is payable...it's registered as a disabled pers vehicle = free tax.

Many thanks for the clarification. The last time we did it was in 2012 and things have changed since. I have cancelled the DD as we now have the new V5C which arrived today. Pity it did not arrive yesterday and I could have cancelled the DD before the funds left our account. :-)

Just a reminder that there have been several threads here about DVLA penalizing keepers who have not 'paid' the zero tax due on their class of vehicle. So in September you will need to go on line and compete the re-tax form although no monies will be due, assuming no change of status.

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.
