    • go do a Direct Debit Guarantee Clawback to your bank if you've now got control of his bank account finny.
    • Hello, Just to check I understand things right, he moved to a nursing home, you then kept paying the rent for a period of time whilst you sorted his belongings. You have asked to give notice and asked for backdated payments of rent from when you first asked which went ignored? They are still taking rent payments.   Have I understood correct?   If I've got anything wrong please correct me.
    • I contacted Sanctury housing in August 2023 after informing them my father in law who had Dementia had moved into a Nursing home December 2022. We kept the flat for 8 months until such a time we could accomodate some of his furniture that my wife wanted to keep. I contacted them in August 2023 to let them know the situation by email as I was the named person that could speak on his behalf. I informed them that we had left it to late for POT and were seeing a solicitor for Deputyship of his financies. I asked them what information would they need in order to give notice on the flat and we could provide details of his condition and nursing home. This went ignored I left it a month and then called them October 2023. I was promised a call back from a manager over the next few days. This never happened and it was end of November when I contacted them again and they had no record of me calling them. I explained the email and again I was told the local manager to the area would call me. This never happened and I ended up emailing them in January 2024 with a copy of the email from August. Again this went ignored and I had explained to them that we couldn't just go to the bank and stop the DD as we had tried. This email again went ignored. I then had a letter written to our home address in February asking us to get in contact with them (local manager) as they were concerend nobody was living in the flat. He had an email address so I copied in the last 2 emails to say I had been trying to give notice since August 2023. I also stated that I would like the rent that was paid from August 2023 refunded back to his account as I had officially tried to give notice then and it went ignored. He replied to us about wanting to look at the flat then notice could be given once he had contacted the nursing home to confirm he was actually living there now. Notice was giving for the 22 March 2024 and this would be when rent would stop and no further payment would be taken by this point. The fact I asked to be back dated went ignored. I have since noticed on 2 banks statement for April and May that they are still taking Rent payments of £501 from his bank. Further to this which seems very strange. He was with Eon Next for his utility bill again we were having problems getting this stopped as they needed a named person on his account which there wasn't one despite me managing his online account for him. I didn't check the email address that often that I used to set it up and went to check as noticed the credit he had built up with not living there was all getting refunded in February. The email said £600 would be refunded to his account with a (sorry you are leaving us message) but how can he leave as nobody but himself had access to speak with them. I also noticed the lady in the flat above him had a letter from her bank sent to his address with his address details but his name which was dated 4th March well before we had given notice and it said (thank you for giving us your new address details) we have set all this up for your account.   So Sanctuary housing must have been aware he wasn't living there from the ignored emails for the lady above to start changing address details to move into his flat before the housing manager had even got in contact to ask if anyone was living there. What I basically want to know his do we have any legal standing to claim the rent back from when I first contacted them in August 2023? There is roughly £3000 to come back

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

I've just bought a new car (well, second-hand, new to me), and the tax runs out at the end of this month.

 

I want (well, not want, but you know what I mean) to retax it, I have it insured and it's just passed an MOT, but I don't have the V5 as that has been sent to the DVLA. I'm hopeful that the insurance cert will arrive before Friday, but what do I do about the V5?

 

I still have the green slip that I shall send to the DVLA tomorrow with my address etc...or should I keep that and give it to the post office when I go to buy the tax?

You do not need to send the green slip to the DVLA. It is effectively your 'receipt' for V5/proof of RK until the new V5 arrives in your name - in response to the previous keeper sending in the rest of the 'old' V5.

 

You can use the green slip in place of a V5 to obtain VED for up to 2 months from purchase (if you haven't received a proper V5 by then - chase the DVLA)

Excellent - thanks for that; I was hoping that was the case, as it runs out this week.

 

All I have to do now is hope that the insurance certificate turns up before then!

Yes, pat is correct. Never ever send the green slip. You're not meant to. That is what you use to tax it. You are relying on the previous owner to send the V5 to DVLA to notify change of ownership. If they never bother to, no new V5 will be issued to you. This would mean that you would have to apply for a new V5 in your name on a V62. This is normally £25, however if you have the green slip and staple it to the application it is free. So, keep it safe!

Oh, I don't like the sound of sending anything original to the DVLA. They've lost so many letters/application forms etc... of mine that I would rather send a copy.

Honestly? Wow.

 

I dread sending them anything - they lose about 75% of everything I send them. My ex partner has had the same experience. They even sent her tax disc to the wrong address, then wanted to charge her 25 quid to have it sent again.

Yes, it really is true. Often when I buy cars that have no V5 and have to apply for one they come in seven to ten days. Never the four to six weeks that they say it may take. None have ever gone astray. VED refunds, I have always received. I know of no customer that has never received their new V5. I really am tempting fate now! :(

Well, I am astonished - maybe it's something to do with the area in which you live then perhaps?

 

Don't know, maybe my name ;-)

Will the post office take it off me when they give me the tax, or do they just want to see it?

No, they will (or should) give it straight back to you. As I said, a new V5 will not be generated until DVLA receive the old V5 from the last owner showing change of ownership.

Fair play. Thanks for that chaps (and chappesses!).

 

If I tax it tomorrow (assuming the cert arrives) I'll get the full whack won't I? Not 11 months or something?

You can tax a SORN'd car to begin in the next calendar month two days before the end of the current month. He should have waited until Friday!

He wanted it on the road like yesterday teenagers for you ...... I tried to get him to wait but it's his first car ... newly passed driver
