    • 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
    • The boundary wiill not be the yellow line.  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.

Just when I was thinking I needed someone new to go after my data arrives yesterday. Spent the evening going through with marker and sent off prelim today. This is great 'cos they only sent me data from 2002 so I can now request the rest back to the 1980s (in theory anyway) while proceeding with this claim. Any idea how far back Halifax data goes people?

Oops. 14 days are well and truly over. Never mind, waiting for my new WTC/CTC award letter to arrive so I can claim remission. LBA going in post tomorrow. At this rate I will have 4 seperate claims to file in a fortnight. That'll keep me out of mischief. Will all 4 settle before we go on holiday in August? Come on as usual Howard, I need my extra. 8)

It does help Lorraine if you don't send them a bouncing cheque!!!! Silly me. I was busy with other claims so didn't get round to sending a non-compliance letter. I have claimed late/overlimit/unpaid cheque fees and don't forget to add your £10 sar fee. I like Vampiresse's spreadsheets and I have used nos 14(a and b?) which works out 'bank interest on penalties' in last column adding quite a bit onto my claim before I file at court. I only go for statutory as I couldn't get my head round contractual 100%. Now I'm curious so off to Vamp's chambers to see what I will be claiming when I get to court. All the very best with your claim, Sally

Hi Sally

 

Just caught up with your own thread. Incidently I am also on a payment arrangement through CCCS which includes the Halifax credit card. Assuming you are keeping up the monthly payment to CCCS, there is no way they should have issued a default notice.

 

Have you had any response to LBA?

In my own case, knowing they would never meet the deadline, I gave them a couple of extra weeks and then made a chasing phone call which seemed to do the trick - xtra patience for xtra money!

Yes, today. It just says I am not going to have the charges refunded as they were applied as per my original agreement. Quick turnaround - I only wrote on the 19th. I will just have to check they have not defaulted me and proceed to court then. I had kept up the payments via the cccs but apparently the arrangement should have been reviewed sometime in the last few months. News to me.

Thanks Brett. Wonder why I need a review then. They probably do a spot check now and then. Whe this postal strike is over I have a second request going off for all data going back to the year dot - well as long as they have records for that is. The cccs will be very happy for me.

Can I throw my toy out of the crib then!!! Just used the rejection letter offering them 10 days to settle. BUT I WANT MY 8%. Still, fair play and all that. Hope they don't settle. If they do offer to but refuse to remove default notice can I still proceed to court as this is one of my conditions? Seems fair to me.

Dont worry Sally,

The chances of them settleing as you know is small, so then you go all the way...:D

 

Have a read of Doos cap one thread, she has had her default removed, and she has taken it all the way.

As a 'goodwill gesture' they have offered me half what I am claiming. Just like the currant a/c then. Rejection letter going in post tomorrow. Will be filing at court next week.
hi sally nice to here from you again !

They did the same thing to me last week and offered me half of what i was claiming and before i could know the money was in my account , i then phoned them straight away and told them to take it back .mentioning to them that i have started court proceedings, and written a rejection letter. Then they changed and said that was a part payment so eh! i have a feeling they are loosing the plot!

I M just waiting for them now !:twisted:

You're a hard woman ND. Remind me not to cross you - ever!!!

 

Thanks SSL. I had completely forgotten about Doo's cap one thread. Will look it up later. 'Course they won't settle.

 

All this lovely rain and what am I doing in the garden? Digging up and removing bog garden 'cos it got too dry last year and creating lavender garden in it's place. Bog garden going at the bottom of the garden where it is shady. Should I ask Monty Don's advice do you think? I still think the planet is warming up so there.

 

2 of the kittens went to one good home and I only have 2 adults and 2 kittens now which makes the food bill much better. They all get on well too.

Hello again Sallly

I was in exactly the same position as you, with the initial half offer on credit card having previously had a full settlement on the bank account.

I made a specific point in the rejection letter of stating the precedence of a full settlement from their brothers in banking (quoting the account and settlement reference) and expecting similar treatment on the credit card front.

This did the trick and they coughed up a full settlement, although admittedly it was some way past the deadline stated in the letter and I was hovering on MCOL. I did the same with MBNA with the same result, saying my son had previously received a full settlement.

The 8% interest can be quite chunky if some of the charges go back awhile so my advice would be stick to the deadline, knowing Halifax hav'nt a chance of making it, and go for court!

Thanks Brett. I have another claim going through for currant account so I might use the strategy you have employed when it has been served next week. Could do with some extra for summer holidays.

 

Not used to this early start. My youngest has gone off to France for the day with school and I have to pick her up around midnight.

Filing at court tomorrow - and this time I remembered to ask for default to be removed in my POC. Another one to bite the dust then. Strange to realise I sent off for data last November, but what with other things in the pipeline and issuing 'bouncing cheque' it has taken this long. Note to self - read 'Doo's cap one' thread

Hi Sally, have finished my cap one claim now, think I have taken it as far as I can BUT got default removed plus the late markers on my credit file, it all shows a lovely row of 0's now, in my POC as well as asking for default removal I also asked for all negative info to be removed. Good luck, I will be watching, just stay firm and don't accept funds till they confirm they will remove default.:D

No, Cap One in no-uncertain terms told me that the £200 GOGW more than covered this. Just did not think it was worth carrying on with - a big part of my decision was also that my local court send claims to Southend which is quite a way away from here - not worth the hassle. Anyway, I now have Barclaycard and Abbey to fight lol :D
