      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By Schipoo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By stu007 · Posted

      As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

CCA request sent.The district judge will be considering the application on 27th Dec in Brighton.It also states if any person objects to the court making a final charging order he must (a) file

(b)serve on the applicant written evidence stating the grounds of the objection not less than 10 days before the hearing.

 

I have noticed what Amex call the file refferal fee the solicitors now call collection costs pursuant to your credit agreement.Bit of a mix up surely.

 

Due to my defence arriving late the original judgement did not allow for instalments if i lose this can i still vary the payments.If i object will the case be transferred to my local court.

You need to send a letter to the court outlining your reasons for objecting and advising that you are contesting the amount claimed and awaiting compliance of your CCA request.

 

You need to explain that as a litigant in person you were until recently unaware of your rights etc.

 

If you need any help with this give me a shout.

Will try to work out a letter in next few days to send.

Am also going to write to Amex accepting their offer but giving them further 10 days to cough up all the 8 pound charges they have held back plus their file refferal charge which is ridiculous. Then i will take them to court.

Will post letter when scribed- going to copy a few ideas from GRAD98s letter

when he went through similar situation.Will look at any ideas to put in letter but surely the account is in dispute will be a good start. It is well past the LBA stage having received offer. Dont understand them going for charging order when all this is going on.

I really think it is worth expanding on the whole unlawful charges argument by stating the case of Woodchester v Swain [COA 1998] which states that a default notice is defective if it is for the incorrect amount. So, by this token, if the default is defective the creditor should not have been able to take any further action UNTIL they have served a default notice for the correct amount AND it wasn't remedied within the prescribed time period.

you have binding precedant from the House of Lords & Court of Appeal that says the creditor acted unlawfully, so you shouldn't be bound by your agreement with them and the Court can't enforce the debt - not only that, but you can claim against them for £1,000 as they have effected your credit reputation and caused you damage.

 

You would need to prove that the original Default amount included collection and default charges/fees, but that should be easy.

Dear Sir Madam

I write with reference to the above mentioned claim for a charging order.

 

The letter is to object to the application of a final charging order.My reasons are set out forthwith.

 

Up until recently i was unaware of my rights but feel i am now ready to object to this order.

 

1- I am contesting amount claimed-and awaiting compliance of CCA request.

 

2- The account is in dispute and the amount claimed is invalid as it contains unlawful charges and unexplained amounts.

 

3-One offer has allready been made by Amex and the case is still ongoing.

 

4-I feel i must state the case of Woodchester vSwain( COA1998) which states that a default notice is defective if it is for the incorrect amount.So by this token if the default is defective fhe creditor should not have been able to take any further action until they have served adefault notice for the correct amount and it was not remedied within the prescribed time period.

 

5-The claiment wishes to make a unsecured debt a secured debt.Surely with the amount of interest charged on these unsecured products consideration has allready been taken that some people might get into difficulties.

 

6-I have other creditors who do not know about this hearing.A charging is not fairest on everyone as it would favour the claiment over all other creditors.

 

7-The defendant requests that these points are taken into account and the charging order is not applied.

 

Yours faithfully

Tawnyowl

Dear Sir Madam

I write with reference to the above mentioned claim for a charging order.

 

The letter is to object to the application of a final charging order.My reasons are set out forthwith.

 

As a litigant in person, I was previously unaware of my rights. I have recently been made aware that penalty charges are unlawful and unenforceable in a court of law. I believe the sum claimed by the claimant contains such charges and I am awaiting further requested documentation from the claimant.

 

1- I am contesting amount claimed-and awaiting compliance of my CCA request made under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Under the terms of the Act, the claimant is required by law to provide a true copy of the original agreement on request. I am awaiting the claimants compliance of my request.

 

2- The account is in dispute and the amount claimed is invalid as it contains unlawful charges and unexplained amounts.

 

3- The original creditor has already made an offer of partial reimbursement of unlawful charges applied to the account. However, the defendant has not accepted this offer and believes he/she is entitled to full reimbursement of such unlawful charges.

 

4-The defendant refers to the case of Woodchester v Swain( COA1998) which states that a default notice is defective if it is for the incorrect amount.So by this token if the default is defective fhe creditor should not have been able to take any further action until they have served adefault notice for the correct amount and it was not remedied within the prescribed time period.

 

5-The defendant wishes to draw attention to the fact that the loan was charged at a much higher rate of interest taking into consideration that it was an unsecured loan.

 

6-I have other creditors who do not know about this hearing.A charging order would severely prejudice all other creditors.

 

7-The defendant requests that these points are taken into account and the charging order is not applied.

 

Yours faithfully

Tawnyowl

Thankyou very much for the tremendous help you have given me.

The account i had with Amex was a blue card.

I will now finalise the letter and send tommorow recorded.

Dont know how things got this far but am glad you had finished moving

I have noticed this thread is being read by quite a few people perhaps they are heading in the same direction.If this is the case this will be a tremendous help to them.Thanks again will keep posting with any developments.

Find it hard to understand how it went against me.

Incorrect amount on charge.

CCA not sent to me.

Case still on going with Amex- even though they have made one offer.

Wonder how much costs are going to be.

Bet all the work with charging orders costs some money.

Anybody know how long it takes to receive papers from courts-hearing was on 27th DEC.

I need to get variation form off as soon as possible.

Reply to CCA request just received.

(I have enclosed a copy of terms and conditions of your account as requested).

Should you have any questions regarding them please do not hesitate to contact us on the telephone no below.

Claire Crawford

Credit relations.

08706004127.

Surely this does not comply with a request for a CCA .

No signature -nothing but a copy of terms and conditions.

Should i have a copy of the original including signature.

This was a blue card.

Papers have come back extra 208 in costs.

Just about to ring court for variation form to be sent to me.

Gutted but will still try to come up with something.

Did not even knock any money off for offer allready made .

Suppose it is turn offer down and proceed to court.

But feel like i have had enough of this shambles.
