    • Hi Schipoo and thank you for the update.   Excellent news for you and a huge relief, I imagine. You might like to start a new thread about Independent Tax if you want advice on that problem. HB
    • Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

    • As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • 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,

 

Have been reading lots of invaluable info on the site, however, I'm at the start of what seems to be a very scary pit of 'unknown territory' and want to make sure I'm doing things in the right way.

 

Okay, so I have huge debts, which is why I'm here!! Credit cards over 10 years or so, which have been with Payplan on a debt management plan for 2 years. I've been made aware that these may, or may not, have signed credit agreements which I clearly need to confirm.

  • So, my first question is should I send Letter N to all the creditors in the first instance?
  • Second question, should I inform Payplan that I am doing this?
  • Third question, some of the creditors have passed (sold) on the debt to Debt Collection Agencies, (MBNA over to Link being one).

I'm struggling to take in anything past this first point though and am also slightly daunted by court action etc etc. I've also picked up that if there are no signed CCAs, the debt could be unenforceable but that means the debt remains outstanding. So they can't make me pay it but I am left with a bad credit rating forever? Is that right?

 

Any help is very much appreciated.

LCM

Hiya,

Q1, Yes

Q2 Don't really know although if the debts become unenforcable then you need to tell payplan to stop paying them.

Q3 Same as Q1

If any debt is unenforcable and no further payments made for 6 years then they will fall off your credit file.

Just be aware that even though the debt would fall off your credit file after 6 years, some companies can still buy this debt & persue you for it after the 6 years has passed, as I'm sure quite a few people on here have experienced.

 

Hopefully, someone with experience with that situation can give you advice on what to do if it happens!

Much too early to worry about that. Lets get the CCA's back(if any) Get them posted on here (minus personal details), let the experts have a look(certainly not me:D)

My personal feeling is to carry on with payments until (if) they default on your CCA request.

From my dealings on this excellent forum (not creeping-honest guv:D), lots of DCA's wouldn't know a valid CCA if it bit them on the a**e.

make sure you keep all letters AND envelopes.

Just noticed nobody has said this. DO NOT hand sign your letter. just print it. Send all letters by recorded delivery at the very least. Keep post office receipts and do a track and trace a few days later on the post office web site. print off the dates the letter was delivered. All proof that you have sent them your letter.

Keeps us updated please.

They can certianly buy the debt, not that it does them any good if it is STAT Barred

If you haven't made any payments or acknowledged the debt for 6 years then the debts are stat barred and the lowlife debt collectors are not supposed to pursue you for it as it breaches OFT guidelines on debt collebting.

 

Thought naughty kitten would know that as she seems well up on the creditor side of things looking at her other posts....................

You may receive different advice to your query as people have different experiences and opinions. Please use your own judgement in deciding whose advice to take.

 

If in doubt seek advice from a qualified insured professional. Any advice I have offered you is done so on an informal basis, without prejudice or liability.

I absolutely agree.

 

I would have a chat with payplan too as they are a free service that you are already using & will be able to give you very good advice.

hi to all,

i had no contact with my cc company for sixteen years after trying to resolve my debt problem. Sure enough 16 years on a debt collection company turned up on my door step and asked me to pay the £2000 i owed i declined the invitation and said if its enforcable take me to court.

havent heard from them since,

all the best.
