    • just to be clear here..... the DVLA do not send letters if a drivers licence address differs from any car's V5C that shows the same driver as it's registered keeper.
    • sorry she is a private individual, the cars are parking on her land. she can clamp the cars. only firms were outlawed from doing it bazza. thats what the victims of people dumping cars on their drives near airports did and they didn't not get prosecuted.    
    • The DVLA keeps two records of you. One as a driver and one for your car. If they differ you might find out in around a month when they will send you a reminder as well as to your other half for their car. If you receive nothing then you can be fairly sure that you were tailgating though wouldn't explain why they didn't pick up your car on one of drive past their cameras. However even if you do get a PCN later then your situation will not change. The current PCN does not comply with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4 which is the main law that covers private parking. It doesn't comply for two reasons. 1. Section 9 [2][a] states  (2)The notice must— (a)specify the vehicle, the relevant land on which it was parked and the period of parking to which the notice relates; The PCN states 47 minutes which are the arrival and departure times not the time you were actually parked. if you subtract the time you took to drive from the entrance. look for a parking place  park in it perhaps having to manoeuvre a couple of times to fit within the lines and unload the children reloading the children getting seat belts on  driving to the exit stopping for cars pedestrians on the way you may well find that the actual time you were parked was quite likely to be around ten minutes over the required time.  Motorists are allowed a MINIMUM of ten minutes Grace period [something that the rogues in the parking industry conveniently forget-the word minimum] . So it could be that you did not overstay. 2] Sectio9 [2][f]  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN does not include the words in brackets and in 2a the Act included the word "must". Another fail. What those failures mean is that MET cannot transfer the liability to pay the charge from the driver to the keeper. Only the driver is now liable which is why we recommend our members not to appeal. It is so easy to reveal who was driving by saying "when I parked the car" than "when the driver parked the car".  As long as they don't know who was driving they have little chance of winning in court. This is partly because Courts do not accept that the driver and the keeper are the same person. And because anyone with a valid motor insurance policy is able to drive your cars. It is a shame that you are too far away to get photos of the car park signage. It is often poor and quite often the parking rogues lose in Court on their poor signage alone. I hope hat you can now relax and not panic about the PCN. You will receive many letters from Met, their unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors threatening you with ever higher amounts of money. The poor dears have never read the Act which states quite clearly that the maximum sum that can be charged is the amount on the signs. The Act has only been in force for 12 years so it may take a  few more years for the penny to drop.  You can safely ignore everything they send you unless or until they send you a Letter of Claim. Just come back to us if they do send one of those love letters to you and we will advise on a snotty letter to send them. In the meantime go on and enjoy your life. Continue reading other threads and if you do get any worrying letters let us know. 
    • Hopefully the ANPR cameras didn't pick up the two vehicles, but I don't think you're out of the woods just yet. MET's "work" consists of sending out hundreds of these invoices every week so yours might be a few days behind your partner's. There is also the matter of Royal Mail.  I once sold two second-hand books to someone on eBay.  Weirdly the cost of sending them separately was less than the cost of sending them in one parcel.  So to save a few bob I sent them seperately.  One turned up the next day.  One arrived after four days.  They were  sent from the same post office at the same time! But let's hope I'm being too pessimistic. Please update us of any developments.

    • 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.

I got a letter from my local tax office the other day, 6 weeks after I sent my first letter asking if I qualified for the tax credit, saying they have sent it on to another tax office as they are the ones dealing with this. So I will be in for another long wait if thats how long they take to do anything:mad:

Hi

I have just come accross this thread. Would it be worth trying to claim for tax year 2001/2002 with the defence that they failed to advertise the fact??

It would be nice to get something back as I have a supposed overpayment of about £3000 from tax credits and a letter last august saying 2003/2004 & 2004/2005 is being reviewed. They say they wont want more money but who knows.....I still dont believe I was over paid in the first place.

Well, I have received a reply but not one I wanted to hear. They said I was to late to claim 2001 to 2002, hardly my fault when they dont tell you about it and I have only just heard about it on this site. They are quick to let you know when you owe them anything though. And they said we have already received 2002 to 2003 in our tax code, so thats that then, oh well it was worth a try.

Hi Jax63,

I thought the same as you about them not advertising that we could claim, it doesnt seem fair if we didnt know about it. I am the same as you, they are saying we have been overpayed over £3000 and am currently receiving no money from them and havent been for about a year now, with 2 kids things are quite difficult.

There was nothing wrong with the old system, I dont know why they changed it.

I have just checked old payslips and it turns out that I also received the allowance, however I know I am going off topic a bit here but when going through some old papers I found a letter from last August, re them reviewing my 2003-2004, 2004-2005 (TC954) I have never heard since so rang them. The person I spoke to reckoned she didn't know what that was, but through searching the net have found that they may have acted ileagally by changing it two years after end of tax year. We also haven't had any money for about two years and still owe them loads. So I think this is worth chasing up.

I have this feeling that out there somewhere is money with my name on it, and I intend to find it:-D

Ooh this looks like fun!

 

Two children born in 1992 & 1995 so I guess I might be eligible. I do the wages where I work so I know my tax code was the same as everyone else back then.

 

I've found the form 11CTC on line so will complete one each for the boys and send to my local tax office, unless anyone else thinks I shouldn't.

Just had an interesting telephone call from the IR in Preston..

 

I sent my form to my local tax office, addressed Child Tax Credit. The chap who called me said it should have said Children's Tax Credit. My tax office had sent the form to him (Child Tax Credit) and he was forwarding it to an office in Leeds who have been set up to deal just with these claims (Childrens Tax Credits).

 

PS He said they are getting enquiries from people who are using companies to claim on their behalves. I told him I had found out about it on this site and he said he had heard of it and why don't more people use it to get this rebate rather than paying someone else! :D

An update from me & to bump this up to the top again in case anyone hasn't seen it - deadline for this is 31.1.09!!

 

Had a letter from Salford (got an address & phone number if any one wants it) asking me to send copy of P60 for 2002-03 so they can check. Also got to fill in a P91 Employment History Form. Good job I'm a clutterbug with paperwork!

It'll depend on whether his tax code was 'normal' or adjusted to reflect the allowance. If I were you, I'd start the claim anyway. You'll need a Form 11TC. (I've got it on my computer at work so shout if you can't find it by googling etc & I'll forward it later). I would recommend handing it in personally or sending recorded or spec delivery. See below..

Hi all

 

I have just found about this, so decided to call my local tax office and they went off and checked and confirmed that I hadn't previously claimed it.

 

I understand that I am too late for 2001/2002, has anyone been succesful in claiming this years after the deadline?

 

Also when I downloaded the forms the guide notes state you may only claim for 1 child, but there is talk on here about all children born within these dates.

 

Can anyone help me with these two points please?

 

Thanks

S.B.

I have the form and will tick both years to try my luck.

 

I tried but got knocked back :(

 

Is there a letter that I could use to support 2001/2002 year?

 

I seem to recall reading about people trying to argue that we should still be able to claim that one because it wasn't our fault we didn't know about it in time. I'll have to have a look to see what new news (if you see what I mean) there is on this.

 

I think it was on MSE.

Hey all, my form for 2002/03 is away and just waiting to hear but can I pose a question?

 

HMRC seem to be relying on the fact that you cannot ask for 2001/2002 as too long has passed - statute barred argument? If this is the case the how come local government and governement taxes have a 20 year limit for chasing us but we only get the 5 or 6 to chase them?

 

Double standards or are they just hoping no-one would notice that?

I am in no way a legal advisor and only speak from my own experiences and the helpful advice of those in the same boat! :p

Wonder if anyone knows if there is anything I can do? I have a child born 1986 and another born 2002. I was entitled to this money and received a payment for the 2002 child but got a letter saying. "I regret that your claim for the childrens tax credit for the year ending 2002 was not made before 31 January 2007 and therefore was out of date."

Now, as we all know this was not publicised so none of us knew thus prob next to no-one applied before 31/01/07. I certainly did not know otherwise I would have applied.

Does anyone know of any successfull appeals? If so, how I go about doing it?

Thanks so much

Miss Lori

 

I am under the impression that we are all too late for the 2001/02 period, and from what I can gather, Revenue wont be budging on this, apparantley they are exempt from the limitation act ot what ever it is called.

 

I have ticked both years on my forms but wont be holding my breath for the earlier year.

 

Also it was one child per claim per year, you cannot claim for both children.

 

Hope this helps.

 

S.B.
