      SJP letter from courts - Car tax fine

      By notodebt · Posted

      I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above

      You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.

      SJP letter from courts - Car tax fine

      By notodebt · Posted

      I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke

      Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

Hi there

I received my first notice to pay £45 because I parked in a lidl's carpark last Saturday night, we were at a concert over the road, I think everyone parked there.

Am I right in thinking I ignore all the letters these people will send me even though they have photos of my registration.

Thanks

You might like to know that after sending a letter off to Athena ANPR contesting their outrageous parking "charge", composed using the helpful advice found here, I received a cancellation notice of the "charge" in the post.

 

So that's at least £45 quid saved thanks to the contributors on this site. Thanks everyone. I hope this encourages others to fight back.

 

Regards

Who knows. It's not what I expected.

 

FYI here is the text I used:

 

Dear Sir,

 

Re: your letter dated 99th November, 2010. Reference 123456789

 

Thank you for your letter dated 99th November 2010.

 

It seems that you have got my details from the DVLA and I confirm I am the keeper of the vehicle in question. I request that you take this matter up with the driver of the vehicle at the time in question.

 

I absolutely deny your claim that the amount claimed, or any amount at all, is due to you from me.

 

I note your comments about debt collectors. Given that this debt is in dispute I shall simply advise them that the debt is in dispute and they will have to refer back to you.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hi i got a letter on 27/4/11 stating that my vehicle over stayed...

I ignored this and now have another letter stating that this is a final reminder for payment and if not paid this will be past over to debt collectors.

Shall i do the same as before with this letter?

Thanks

Hi all i received this a few days ago..? I still have made no contact with the company at all just been listening to you guys.. But on this letter it says it'll be passed to debt collectors..? Any advice

 

For "debt collectors" substitute the words "tea boy" and it is just about the same effect. (actually it probably is the same person really!) :)

Yep. Everyone gets this letter, here it is again, snap! (very common, this is not mine BTW):

 

http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m604/FTPPCs/AthenaLetter3-1.jpg

 

It's a standard computerised template threatogram. Ignore it.

 

Google the words 'PPC letters, what to expect' and the result will show you pictures of Athena's whole letter-chain, that's where I got the above picture from. Then you will know what to ignore next, pathetic rubbishy letters from LRC unless they have changed their debt-collector recently.

 

Debt-collectors are just pen pushers, they cannot send the boys round nor affect your credit rating as there is no credit agreement involved. Nothing happens, it's bothersome but that's it, like ignoring annoying phishing emails.

Thank you, Will take your advice. Who are the appropriate authorities for complaint under Consumer Credit Act?

 

Trading Standards and the OFT are the best two.

M Drew Have you a debt to pay? No you just got a speculative invoice wait till you have had the rest of the letters including the last chance before court action you may get several of these and then it will all go quiet having contacted them you may get more than the usual run of letters Ignore everything unless you actually get a county court summons or win the lottery which is more likely

Hi all. A friend has received his first "Civil parking charge notice" from Athena ANPR. I have been researching and came across this site packed with great information.

I can see a lot of people say just ignore.

Is there anyone here who is no longer recieving letters by ignoring them and if so how long did it take for them to leave you be?

Also, has ANYONE been taken to court or had a CCJ imposed because of a civil parking charge imposed by Athena ANPR?

I would greatly appreciate answers from people that have been through this process before I give any advice.

 

Many thanks in advance

Paul

Hello Paul. You should find all the information you need from reading around this forum.

 

PPCs don't do court and on the rare occasions when they try, it regularly goes wrong.

I am so glad I found this site..! After reading majority of the posts I intend to email them (as the Notice had an email address)

 

 

I have received your letter regarding the overstay parking fee/invoice at Lidl – not Waitrose – Lidl. After contacting the Consumer Action Group I will not pay this extortion amount. If you decide to send me letters from legal recoveries and debt collection companies or possible court proceeding letters I will choose to ignore them. I have not broken any laws and therefore will not accept to pay your unlawful fine.

 

Your reminder letters in red, blue or black will not provoke me to pay towards your fee/invoice.

 

I will not be appealing.

 

In the meantime I will be contacting Birmingham Trading Standards in relation to your inappropriate parking charge.

 

Regards

 

What do you think??

 

 

Send some a letter something like... just remember to edit to suit your requirements.

 

 

 

 

Don't admit to anyone who was driving the vehicle, unless of course it is a different matter.

 

Hopefully someone else will come along to add some input too.
