    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in spefic terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have expained it on CAG?

    • 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.

Hi All,

Hope someone can give me some advice on what to do.

 

I've just been through my bank statement to find that I've got 4 paypal transactions listed on there - each in US $ - and each one incurring a £1.50 overseas transaction fee.

 

Each one of the payments is for about £3 each and yes I did make the transactions online.

 

The thing is...I had more than enough funds in my paypal account to cover the 4 transactions however, paypal in its infinite wisdom decided not to use the funds I had or the Direct Debit which they usually use and instead go straight for my debit card - which is why I incurred the bank charges.

 

I have just got off the phone to someone remarkably rude at Paypal who checked into my account and said that it should have come off of my balance. Then he went on to say that I must have chosen the credit card option and I then disputed this over the phone as I have 4 confirmation emails saying they will take the amount off my available balance!!

 

He then went on to say its a known issue and he will escalate it and it wont happen again, next time any transaction will come off my balance.

 

When I asked about getting back my bank charges he said thats not their problem and they wont refund them to me.

 

I am tempted to phone up my bank and say that I didn't authorise the use of my card for those 4 transactions.

 

or is there any other option?

 

HELP!

I'd be tempted to phone up the bank and say PayPal admit the transactions were in error, but refuse to help. Use the emails you have to back this up.

Yep, I've heard of this too - but it has been fixed. I'm intriqued when you say they laimsed a US$ amount from your Debit Card - this was never possible previously, and if PP have taken money in the WRONG currency, they ARE liable. I have a US$ account, but because I'm a UK registered user they will ONLY bill me in GB£ not my US$ account!

The original transactions were in US $ but you are right now I think about it as I've had several transactions in US$ but they've always converted it to GB pounds before taking the money out!

 

In fact in those cases its even stated the amount in both $ and £

 

Think I'll call back Praypal in the morning - if they are there and hope to get through to someone who is a bit more helpful.... (crosses fingers)

just found this in Paypals user agreement :-

 

Multiple Currencies. PayPal's Multiple Currencies feature allows users to send payments in U.S. Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling, Yen, Australian Dollars, New Zealand Dollar, Swiss Franc, Hong Kong Dollar, Singapore Dollar, Swedish Krona, Danish Krone, Polish Zloty, Norwegian Krone, Mexican Peso, Israeli New Shekel, Hungarian Forint or Czech Koruna. Multiple Currencies is currently available for all payments made using the regular Send Money service. You do not need to maintain a balance in the currency in which you would like to send the payment, but may choose the currency at the time of payment. If you are making a payment in a currency in which you already maintain a balance, the funds for the payment will first be withdrawn from the balance you already hold in that currency. Additional funds required for the payment will be withdrawn first from any other PayPal balance you maintain, and then from the funding source of your choice.

 

If your PayPal balance(s) do not cover the full amount of your payment, and you hold a credit card denominated in the currency of the payment, that credit card will be charged for the remainder of the payment. If your PayPal balance(s) do not cover the full amount of your payment, and you do not hold a credit card denominated in the currency of the payment, but you do hold a credit card denominated in one of the currencies listed above supported by the Multiple Currencies feature your credit card will be charged in that currency. If your PayPal balance(s) do not cover the full amount of your payment, and you neither hold a credit card denominated in the currency of the payment nor in any of the currencies supported by the Multiple Currencies feature, your credit card will be charged in the currency of your payment.

Before you complete the payment, PayPal will display the applicable exchange rate which includes PayPal's transaction fee for any funds you are sending which are not currently held in the currency of the payment.

 

 

If I've read it right...according to their own agreement as I own a UK debit card they should have converted it to UK pounds before proceeding with the transaction...

 

I may need to quote their "agreement" when I speak to them again.

will keep everyone updated

I posted on this last week.

I requested £109 from my paypal account, it went "missing" for a week, then reappeared in my paypal account.

After complaining by email, I recieved a reply that said it was because my bank details "needed updating" and would I complete the new mandate they sent with it.

Being highly suspicious, I looked into this and found that it WASNT an update for my bank details, but rather a Direct Debit mandate, which would essentially give them direct access to my bank account to remove all fees instantly - taking no account of any disputes that may arise.

I think paypal are trying to do this because of the huge increase of unscrupulous buyers lately saying they havent recieved any goods, or goods are faulty etc.

Ive now cancelled the paypal account, spent the money online (well, the wife has), and simply do not trust Ebay or paypal - better to be out of it I think.

Update :-

Phoned up praypal again and got through to someone else just as unhelpful as the guy yesterday. although the only plus side today was at least I could understand todays customer service assistant!

 

She said to me that because the transaction was in dollars and my paypal dollars balance was zero (but I have credit in UK pounds!) then the transaction would have taken place on my card as being the available source of funds.

 

I then told her that I had four seperate emails saying that the amouts would be taken off my paypal balance - no reference to anything that says that if you dont have any funds in the same currency then we will happily charge your debit card!

 

I then went on to ask why paypal didn't use the multiple currencies service which states that if I have a card in a differing currency to that which the transaction is in the transaction would be converted and charged to my card in my local currency.

 

her answer to this was that some sellers only accept US Dollars and not any other currency so as such they would charge my card in US dollars.

Again no mention of that on my transaction email and I cant find any reference to either of these things in paypals terms and conditions.

 

all I can find was that they should take funds from paypal credit balance first and they can use multiple currency service to convert sums in different currencies..so how come that didn't apply to me!

 

I then told the customer service agent that my email said they would take the money from paypal credit balance - which I agreed to but not my card which I had not agreed to. so from my point of view they had performed an unauthorised transaction on my card.

She had no answer to this and said that "A supervisor" would now look into my account about this issue and asked if there was anything else I wanted help with....

 

grrrrr

Update :-

Paypal have e-mailed me and as a good will gesture have refunded me the bank fees!

 

Sorted!

Just wish there was another way to make overseas payments without costing an arm and a leg...I notice now that paypal charge a 1% fee for gift payments to friends and family as well...

 

oh well.

its cheaper than Western Union
