    • 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

    • 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

    • 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.

I've heard from a friend who works in a banks head office, that there is a court case going on at the moment to close this site down.

In fact he thought it was in court yesterday or next friday!

Any truth in this?

If it's true then what an abuse of the law that would be.

I cant imagine on what grounds they could do that, anyway isnt freespeech allowed in this country anymore.

 

I havent heard anything i expect its just gossip

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

Even if it were true (which it won't be - no bank in their right mind would even try - can you imagine the publicity it would generate for CAG!) all you would do would lift the content and stick it on a server somewhere else (Japan has some wonderfully strict e-privacy laws) and your up and running again.

 

Not gonna happen in a million years!

 

EDIT - Whilst I cannot think of a single basis for this site being closed down (what next shut down CCCS and CAB?!) I think the general public might think that there are a few other sites on the internet that should be shut down first!

This is a heavily moderated site so you can forget free speech.

 

BLair Oliver & scott are a useless set of **EDIT**

 

See what I mean

This does mean that nothing can be posted that would close it down.

 

What angers DCA's and banks is by providing information you enable people to fight back and they really don't like this.

 

If they did close it down it would be put back up with 'bullet proof hosting' that not even the banks could touch

We live in an unmoderated country why should the net be any different?

Bring back free speech we miss it!

There is no truth in this (which will come as a major disappointment to some!)

 

We're going to be a pain in some very royal behinds for a long while yet.

I think it's a bit of wishful thinking on the part of the banks. They would certainly LIKE to see us gone........ We've been a thorn in their sides since CAG first started.

it 's ok cag if they do then you can use my server let them try it with me

 

Unfortunately it would be your ISP they would attack. You would find your internet connection had disappeared.

 

But I don't think they would or could do that. Be interesting to find out what this purported court case was about.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Rooster, I know this is a slight digression but of the 190,00 odd members you quote how many are active?

I suspect that a large number of members sign on to discuss their own problem, and when that is resolved, don't come back.

There really is no way of answering that other than to guess. Firstly, it depends on the definition of 'active' - then we would have to trawl through records of each user to see when they last visited so that we could determine the figures.

 

Perhaps it means 'how many ever post' but that would just be a very high percentage, but again we're not going to trouble ourselves finding out.

 

The truth is that some come and go quickly, as soon as they have read the snippet of info they need , others come and bring a sleeping bag ;)

 

I doubt that anyone would be troubled by the thought of people coming and going quickly if it meant they had actually been helped - that is always the most important thing for us.

 

The site still grows at a very respectable rate and I doubt that it will be too long before we pass 200,000 users. If nothing else, that would be a great many people who have taken the consumer revolution to their heart.
