    • Afternoon all Looking for advice before I defend claim for car tax payment that the DVLA claim I owe £68 from an idemity claimback from my bank and unpaid tax  So brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details so first payment £68 out in Feb 24  followed by payment of £31 from March due to end Jan 24 Checked one of my vehicle apps and about 7-10 days later car showing as untaxed? No reason why but it looks like DVLA cancelled it ,this could be because I did not have the V5 and the gargae paid on my behalf but not sure did not receive a letter to say car was untaxed.  Fair enough I set up the tax again staight away in Feb 24  and first payment out Mar 31st , and each payment since has come out each month for £31 , this will end Feb/Mar 2025 so slightly longer than the original tax set up so all good. I then claimed the £68 back from my bank as an indemity refund as obviously I had paid but DVLA had cancelled therefore it was a payment for nothing?  Last week recieved a SJP form dated 29th May stating that DVLA were claiming for unpaid tax and a false indemity claimback which of course is the £68. It also stated that I had received two previous letters offering me the oppotunity to pay that £68 but as I had not responded it was now a court claim that I must admit guilt for or defend. My post is held for weeks at a time from Royal Mail ( keepsafe) due to me receiving hospital tretament at weeks at a time that said I did not receive any previous letters from DVLA. So I am happy to defend this and go to court but wondering what CAG members think? In summary I paid an initial amount of £68 and then a DD of £31 , tax cancelled so I set up a new DD at £31 a month all in the month of Feb 2024, I claimed the £68 back from my bank. DD has been coming out each month without issue and I have paperwork to show the breakdown for both DD setup's plus bank statements showing the payments coming out . The second DD set up has extended payments up to Feb/Mar 2025. DVLA claiming the £68 was ilegally claimed back despite the fact they cancelled the original DD for reasons unknown. Is this defendable ? I will post up documents including the original DD conformations

    • It's not a private road.  It's a small public street (with Resi houses) that leads into and from public road/ highway. The garages have land in front of the doors.  Then there's a yellow line. So there's a clear marker on what is private and what is public.  These people keep parking on the private land side
    • Do you also own land the garages on and the private road? Or is it shared freehold with right of access to all freeholders or why?  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.

Oops I've inadvertantly become a rogue trader, describing an item exactly correctly but mistakenly adding an extra style name (together with the correct style name) eg "A-Style B-Style Jeans" instead of "B-Style Jeans". In absolutely every other detail the photograph, description, measurements, styling details etc are exactly correct as per the B-Style jeans I sent to the buyer 2 weeks ago. The buyer contacted me yesterday saying "there is no such thing as 'A-Style B-Style Jeans', they are either A-Style or B-Style" and asking for my address to return the jeans and get their money back, as she wanted the A-Style jeans and thought that's what she was buying. As my description was exactly right in every other respect, correctly describing them fully and completely as the B-Style jeans, whose responsibility is it? As the jeans were otherwise correctly described in every detail, should it have been "buyer beware"? I suppose the buyer must have read the A-Style name and didn't read the details. Unfortunately I now realise I made an innocent mistake by calling the jeans "A-Style B-Style" (the style names are not shown at all on the jean labels and I just thought the B-Style was part of the A-Style range), but otherwise I correctly gave the style number and correctly described the jeans I provided. The jeans are brand new with tags; apparently the current price in the shops is £155 for Style-B, £170 for Style-A and I sold them for £99. I don't want to upset anyone, but also I don't want the hassle of selling these all over again (I'm a private buyer that bought the wrong size jeans and am selling them on). How about if I offer a discount of the £15 difference in price between A-Style and B-Style?

Offering the discount is entirely up to you, and might not work. I find it strange though, that the buyer only now decides to tell you after receiving the goods, and (I assume) reading the item description. Admittedly, you made a small mistake, but its also up to the buyer to check the description at least. Personally, I would ask for advice from ebay on something like this, and if you like their reply to you, ask them to contact the seller about it, or apologise profusely and then (maybe) offer the discount. Otherwise, try the discount route if ebay dont answer in your favour.

 

Have you had a look at the buyers feedback? I'm not suggesting that the buyer is doing this at all, but, some buyers insist on perfection when they buy something, only to be disappointed when they get the goods, and so whinge and moan. It is just a thought, but check the feedback about this person. It "might" give you some ammo when you contact ebay. However, dont accuse, just say you suspect that possibly, based on previous feedback etc etc

 

I would send ebay almost exactly what you sent in your post to here, as it describes every last detail, but obviously taking out things like the discount you mentioned, and the fact you are a rogue trader lol. And make sure you are asking for advice only, if they allow you to do that.

 

Try ebay first, and then come back after they have replied to you if you have no joy with them. Some other people may have posted other suggestions in the meantime.

 

I'm sure that ebay will say well, everything other than the slight mistake is in order anyway, but thats only what I'm thinking at the moment.

 

Good luck with this anyway.

Patti, I have moved your post and response to its own thread to keep the 2 issues separate, as it will get quite complicated otherwise. Please use this thread from now on to keep us updated and to ask questions. :-)

Lol.. now can you go back to the previous thread and click on "edit" on your acknowledgment and change all the text to something like ..... or something like that please. Sorry to be such a pain.

 

I saw you are new, and wasn't sure if you knew about Private Messages (PM's), and so thats why I left that message in the previous thread

Hi Patti,

 

 

From reading your OP , you have said you have made a slight mistake. If you want to offer a discount, then certainly do it but if the buyer paid by paypal they can open a SNAD and will be refunded their original postage and cost of item but will have to return the items to you first.

 

Offer the discount but if they do no accept and have paid via paypal then you will need to ask for the return of the item and refund the original postage and cost of item.

Here is another thread from the opposite end. It's the original thread you posted to Patti, but there's been more discussion since this thread. By the way, I still contend that the buyer was in the wrong in this case. You provided a more than adequate description, and if the buyer can't see that, then that's their look out.

 

Regards
