    • 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 London:)

 

Sorry, I've only just remembered you posted:oops:

 

I think it depends on when you sent the last SAR, if we're talking 6+ months I think you'll probably have to do a new one. If it's less it's certainly worth asking them to comply with the previous one.

 

I don't know much about CPR stuff I'm afraid so I can't really help on that front...

Had a letter from BOS yesterday saying my complaint has been escalated and they are looking into it??

 

I recently checked on the last letter I sent them, and it's coming up with some weird message on Royal Mail 'We have your item at' then the address of my local post office. Not the depot, but the actual post office in a shop.

 

I've never seen it before. Normally it just says 'your item can not be delivered' or something, not that it's with the shop!

 

They didn't have a clue at the PO, and Royal Mail's helpline have been about as much use as a chocolate teapot, so now with this latest letter from BOS I don't know whether it got to them or not??

 

Nothing's ever simple is it!

Wot did you send the BOS Lexis? was it a SAR request...? No, 'fraid not, it was a complaint (for a change;))

 

It could be a package with all your charges refunds in cash... :-) I'm still hoping for that one - they're so incompetent there it wouldn't surprise me if they got mixed up with what I wanted:D

 

Does it say that you need to sign for it ? if so be very creful, as with Royal Mail you can request a cop of the signature that signed for the package...

 

The way I am reading it above, Royal Mail are saying that your letter you sent to BOS is at the Post Office, but then you go there they have no knowledge of it ? or have I got this round the wrong way...?

Nope, that's exactly what has happened. Odd isn't it?

I know, it's very strange.

 

It's definitely the post office shop - it even give the address there!

 

I've tried talking to Royal Mail, explained everything in detail, said it wasn't the usual message etc and could they tell me what it meant. I had an email back (after 2 days!) saying 'I'm sorry your post has been lost, please click this link to claim compensation'. They plainly hadn't read it, and they haven't replied to my follow-up email asking them to actually read letters rather than just hit an automatic reply button:rolleyes:

 

I'm going to have another word with the PO later and see if I can grab the manager there as she's pretty good. When I asked before she wasn't there and I had to make do with one of the other people there.

I see your point, but the reason I'm confused about this is because I don't know if they've received it due to Royal Mail's odd message. I assumed they hadn't due to it saying it was at the post office, and because I have other (non-bank) things going on at the moment I decided to leave it for a minute (as you say, a bit of extra time doesn't hurt).

 

However, having pondered this for a bit I'm now wondering if the RM message was in fact a cock up, as they have replied to everything else that they can? Unless they are about to duplicate a response to a previously answered letter, this must be in relation to the one that supposedly has not reached them.

 

Honestly, why would you think it's confusing - it's plainly clear as mud?;):D

Oh, I see - it's progress:rolleyes:

 

Thanks chaps, at least that makes a bit more sense to me now. Perhaps I should just direct any Royal Mail questions to you two? You see to have far more of a clue than they do!:D

Keefy - thanks for the info! I've been off for a while, so sorry for not getting back sooner.

 

I can't believe it's not covered past the UK????? What exactly is the point of it if it's not for the whole journey?

 

I've had several more 'we have you item' messages now and it is definitely the new way they're doing it, but as has been said, this often doesn't change to 'delivered' so is next to useless. Perhaps it's a way of trying to get people to upgrade to Special delivery?

Hope you are progressing well and hope the Cat finds a more sympathetic owner soon.:D

 

Thanks vint:)

CATASTROPHE AS CUSHIONLESS CRASH CONCUSSES CAT IN CAGGERS CONSERVATORY-CASE CONTINUES...

 

Oooh, a conservatory!! I have a window (in fact I have several cos I'm right posh), will that do instead? Kind of ruins the headline though:D

back to this, did you ever get it sorted?

 

How are you after your terrible problems with the wine glass? I have that with vodka bottles - they all have leaks in them;)

 

And no, primarily because I've been a bit of a lazy git and haven't contacted rm to complain. Essentially though it seems that paying for recorded is pretty pointless if it never gets past the 'we have your item' bit. How do you prove delivery if they don't update properly?:mad:

Damn the blighters! They can have my kidneys but I draw the line at my brandy!!!

I'll fox their dastardly conspiracy..I'll officially become an adept of Freemanism, then they'll leave me alone eh...eh?

 

So that's what happened!!!! All this time I thought I had renal disease but in fact it was the bleedin' banks!!

 

I've got them though as little do they know, I have a spare. Yes, in addition to my posh windows I am that posh that I've got 3 kidneys. Better keep that one on the down low or they'll be after it as a down payment on one of my cards:eek:

 

ps - thanks for the letter CB. I can see a few books of stamps heading my way with the amount they've cocked up on!

Sorry, I was so busy staring out of my posh windows whilst opening and closing my posh door that I forgot to look in here.

 

Oh, and while I think about it - Oi Elsa - Tenamilady??? Not for another few years thank you very much. Or, you know, when I laugh a lot:D:lol:
