    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty Dx

    • 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  brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details  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, slightly longer than the original tax set up, 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. 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  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

    • 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 think this deserves a thread of it's own;

 

I have spent many hours looking through threads and have gained a lot of experience (relatively speaking) from the work I have put in (in a very short period of time). It is an on-going project and I am just at the beginning of a very steep learning curve. During this experience I have come across little gems of comedy genius, this is my favourite so far. I am sure you all have your favourites and the long-standing members will have seen a lot more than me. This is the best I have seen on THE DEBT COLLECTION INDUSTRY and was posted by Percival Wigglesbottom on 31st July 2007. See what you think;

 

DCA TELEPHONE HARASSMENT

 

They have recently started pestering me , for an old debt ..

 

DCA : Hello, are you Mr Percival Wigglesbottom ?

 

Percy : Alas no , that is my former name . I am now Mr Bard , so named after the many a minstrel and troubadour that have graced the pages of literature and poetry in our grand medieval history .

 

 

DCA : Can I inquire as to your Forename Mr Bard ?

 

Percy : Statute , now F*** off .

 

 

Thank you so much Percy for this little gem. :grin:

 

What's your favourite, there are loads of brilliant ones on here!

Mine is from the Bear Garden thread 'Show me a picture of ...' when Pinkduchess tried to post up a picture, but couldn't get it to work and cried ...

She will be blushing now I've bumped this up :D

 

I was crying with laughter one night at a post by Tilly and Thai on the Pontins CAG meet but I'm too tired to go and find it now :p

 

There are many other classics, especially in DMD's Rob Way thread but that's a lot to trawl through tbh ;)

 

I'll try and find it one day - probably when I've retired :o

I think its mainly due to the humor of the people who come here who I'm sure are in as much of a mess as the rest of us but have the strength of character to sit back and laugh at themselves :D and give us some light relief too.

 

May I take this opportunity to thank all my co-conspirators from the HSBC forum who I have had many many very funny evenings with :D

 

Keep it up everyone

Tell me about it Pete :D Poor Rory and ODC - they must've wondered what they'd got themselves into when I first posted :eek:

 

Strength of character comes from knowledge but knowledge comes from experience and experience is given by those who've been there ;)

 

Here endeth the lesson.................. :lol:

The post that I have found funniest over the last few years of being on CAG has to be this one. This is in response to a member that had settled with help from CAG, was not even asked for a donation but was accusing dave of making a profit from CAG.

 

£3000 per day. Ha. Yeah, quite right - you've hit the nail on the head. I hope you live on the coast, because I'm just about to sail round in my yacht and pick you up for a night of eating diamond encrusted salmon and drinking bottles of champagne.

 

 

I will confirm here and now, as a friend of Daves and someone who has spent many a night on Dave's sofa that there is no fortune gained from the work on CAG (if there was I wouldn't have had to buy my fair share of beer!!)

BEFORE starting your claim read through the FAQ's and if there's something you aren't sure of then ask.

There are a lot of funny peeps here. I remember the Dave thread and the Yacht thingy(it was very funny comment).

I think the CAG are pinks(or was it we are pink) thread with Michael Browne suggesting mud sticks when they were brown and then, when the site team had been tangoed, that they were all getting the David Dickinson look. Priceless.
