    • 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.

    • 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

    • 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.

OK update on the Monument claim.....sent prelim & got the standard "sorry you're not happy we'll get back to you in 6 weeks"......then within the 14 days got another letter offering me 50% of my claim.....thought it over & sent a letter saying that I would accept this as a partial refund, but wanted the rest too & would hold fire for 14 more days to allow them to reconsider, and asking them to provide a full breakdown of costs incurred if they were to persist with their lie that their charges are a fair representation of costs actually borne by them....and have heard nothing from them since!!my account is now back in proper order, but there has been no refund.....so I wrote to them (the second letter wasn't sent recorded- slap on the wrist for that!!), saying that as I had not received either a refund or any correspondence from them, I assume that my previous letter did not reach them, and I am prepared to allow a further 14 days before taking the court action....did I do the right thing & does anyone think I will ever see my money again, or have I just made an absolute **** up???

AS an aside ask for the original agreement I did, they haven't supplied it so they've broken the law. I'm waiting for the statements to organise the claim at the moment its over £700.

 

If you keep extending deadlines, they will stretch it as far as they can. Be strong, draw a line in the sand.

this is their last chance!! the only reason i sent another letter was that i stupidly didn't send my second one recorded delivery, so if it had gone to court, they could easily have said they didn't get it which i think would have looked bad for me IYSWIM???:-) trying my best to look like the level headed, fair & reasonable party here!

Hi Monkeygirl

 

You should send them an LBA (Letter Before Action) and state in the letter that they have'nt replied to your first letter.The banks have so much mail and cases to sort out now,it is taking time.Send it recorded delivery and then give them another 14 days.You have to show that you are reasonable when writing to the bank.I had the Halifax on the phone today,they called me.They are so far behind my claim is 16 days from my LBA. I still won't hear anything for a few days yet.

One thing i have noticed,you keep getting phone calls from them requesting payment. You still have to pay your bills on time.I would'nt wait for the refund to clear that debt,it could take a few months to sort out.

Sorry if i made an error on the payment side,i just wondered why they keep calling.

 

Hope this helps
