    • 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  So brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details so 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 so slightly longer than the original tax set up so 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. So 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 so 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
    • Do you also own land the garages on and the private road? Or is it shared freehold with right of access to all freeholders or why?  Dx

    • 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, I sent the letter saying that this was a unlawful agreement to Freds, they have written back saying that Nat West have advised them that that all documentation regarding the CCA has already been sent to me so they have fully complied and if i'm still disputing i should contact them directly. Do I send the same sort of letter saying that it should have been 2 seperate agreements for the loan and the PPI? Not really sure where I go with this now so any help gratefully received. Thanks:roll:

I don't let banks and DCAs muck me about. It is with a DCA when it suits them then when it is challenged it is referred back to Natwest. They don't pull the strings, you do. Frederickson is dealing with it so they get the reply. Write back to them and tell them that as you have given them your reply, it is their responsibility to inform Natwest the agreement is unenforceable and in dispute, not yours. I doubt if you will hear from Frederickson again. Next stop Moorcroft - and they usually give up!:-D

All 3 cases are currently with the ICO - and they are taking forever, which I see as a positive sign, not having been knocked back as a matter of course. In all 3 cases the ICO asked for loads of additional information. My thread has been taken over for the moment but as soon as I have updates I will post them.

Hi all, Update. Last week received a letter from Fredricksons, it was the same as the first letter just saying this debt will not go away, contact us now. Today I've received a letter from Bryan Carter & CO Solicitors saying that full payment must be made within 14 days or they will recommend to their client Nasty West that proceedings be issued without further notice including court fees and solicitor costs of £290. It says that if I dispute this debt, state my reasons in wrining and supply them with documents to support the defence of my claim. I have googled the firm and found that they seem to have some sort of relationship with Freds (surprise!!) but am at a loss as to where I go from here, any ideas? Please help, am getting very worried again

Report them to Trading Standards and the OFT for persuing a disputed alleged debt.

 

Normally I would recommend ignoring the DCA after reporting them,, but you have to watch Carter, he likes to try it on in court. So the best thing might be to send the "bemused" letter:

No - I was never going to take CRAs to court? I am going to take a 2 banks to court if they do not remove defaults but at the moment it is with the ICO and it could take up to 6 months for their reply.

Hi everyone, thought I would give an update. Wrote to Freds about them passing it on to Carters and they wrote back saying that they were awaiting instructions from Nat West on what to do after passing my letter on to them. Wrote bemused letter to Carters, sent it twice, once ordinary post and once signed for but got no letters back from them - however- got reply from Freds on both occasions saying that they were waiting for Nat West. Odd. Maybe they were short of paper and borrowed that peice from Carters? Had letter from Nat West asking me to send £10 for the paper work if I'm disputing the debt but have already got them, thats why I think its disputed. They also said that the account number was wrong on the letter but thats because the letter was sent to freds who passed it on to them and so I'd only put freds reference number on it. Nat West say I should tell them why I dispute the debt but I thought I'd made it clear so I don't know whether to write to them or just wait now. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone, just a quick update. Having not heard anything from Fredricksons or Nat West for quite some time, I was thinking they would just leave me alone ( Very naive I know, but I was hoping!! ) Anyway, got a phone call at 8.28 this morning from Westcot Credit Services, I did not speak to them as they hung up before I got to them and I dialled 1471 and rang back and heard their name and hung up. When I googled them its looking like my debt has been passed on again but not sure yet until I speak to them or they write to me. I thought that if I said it was in dispute then Nat West or freds were not supposed to pass it on, is this right? Seems to me they just keep playing pass the parcel with it, it makes no sense. Thanks :-?

They prefer to bully you by phone but they will write. Then you can send them the Account in Dispute letter to their complaints department and add that you are sending a complaint about them to the OFT for pursuing an alleged debt in dispute, which is a breach of OFT guidelines. After that you can completely ignore them.

 

Yes it does go the rounds before it disappears but there is nothing they can do so enjoy them throwing away their money trying to collect the uncollectable.:D

Hi HH,

 

As Pinky says, they all ignore the guidelines about passing on an alleged debt, and of course when they pass it on to a new one they don't pass on the related correspondence so the latest idiots start calling and sending letters really believing that they are going to get paid as soon as they make contact.

 

The good news is that Wescot are usually seen off quite easily. :D

Hi, have an update . Have just received a letter from Wescot after writing to them telling them that the account is in dispute. They say that they have contacted Nasty West and NW say that they complied with my request for CCA (which they did, but they did not send me a signed copy of agreement, just a generic copy.) NW say that they do not consider this account to be in dispute and requested Wescot to continue collection. Wescot say that they now consider the dispute resolved and the full balance or monthly repayments be forthcoming. Am after ideas of what to do now as cannot afford to pay this unless they agree to very small instalments, which I can't imagine them agreeing too. Please help :(:confused:

Has anyone else had a look at what they sent regarding the CCA?

 

As BB says. it's not for them to agree or disagree as to what you pay them, it's for you to decide, if they don't like it, tough cheddar.

 

Personally I would just pay them a £ a month, let them work for it.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

The "agreement" is unenforceable - just one signature box in a multi agreement and no signature. NatWest at their best. You can pay them £1 a month or pay them zilch - there is nothing they can do about it. Personally I would pay them zilch and let it run until it is Statute Barred. Eventually they will all disappear.

I would agree with Pinky. For as long as you pay them £1 a month you are lengthening the time before it becomes statute barred. Without a signed agreement there isn't a lot they can do. Write back to Wescot and say it certainly is in dispute as they have not sent you a copy of the alleged signed credit agreement.

Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I last posted but have been waiting and waiting in case I heard anymore from Westct. I wrote and told them that I definately thought that the account was in dispute no matter what Nat West said because no signed agreement had been sent to me. Westcot said that they would get back to nat west and let me know the outcome. They have never got back to me, nor have i heard anything from nat west. Its been seven months now and have not heard anything (Bliss !) I'm hoping I've heard the last of them but thanks to this forum I feel better able to deal with these things. I only wish i'd found you all sooner, it would have saved me an awful lot of stress. Thank you all for your help over this . You've been brilliant.:-D
