    • 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.

Received a reply from MBNA to my last letter which included a demand that communication should always be in writing. They have sent the same letter on the same day twice! In the letter they say that they will write to me separately about the enforcability issue, so still waiting.

These two letters were basically the usual denials and bullying me to make payments.

There answer to the telephone harrasement issue was to quote the 'Banking Code' (which no longer exists as it was replaced on the 1 November 2009 by two new codes, the 'Banking Conduct of Business Sourcebook and Payment Sevices Regulations 2009' which is enforced by the FSA (God help us all!) and the 'Lending Code' enforced by the Lending Standards Board, so please look these up MBNA if you are reading this and pleased to be of guidance, cretins!) stating that they must keep all lines of communication open and therefore must keep the option of calling me available, but then say that they will not correspond further at the end of the letter!!

I will be replying when I hear from them about enforcabilty which they appear to be struggling with, but I expect them to deny any errors of course!

Letter turned up today saying my complaint will take a further 28 days to look into. This is the third time they have given a deadline to reply to me. What are they up to? Could it be to do with the cases in the Mercantile court?

After no calls for 3 weeks I have had a voice message left today from a mobile number asking me to call them urgently. Fat chance, will they never learn that I don't pick up their calls! This is after receiving a couple of letters reminding me that I am behind with payments and suggesting that if I am dissatisfied I should complain to the FOS. This seems to be their latest tactic having read other threads, in that they want you to go to the FOS as they are fairly confident they will get a ruling in their favour to use against you further.

I am still waiting for them to answer my enforceability issue which they don't seem to know how to answer yet.

Hello Exchange!

 

I think that your possible main line of attack, may be to take a long look at the earlier MBNA Loans.

 

If PPI was added, then most were s18 cock-ups because MBNA did not state the Monthly Payment or Interest Rates for the Loan and the PPI. They just lumped them together.

 

My point being that you should not just look at the last Loan, but all the ones that came before it. If they screwed you via PPI, and also perhaps by manipulating an MBNA Credit Card Debt at the same time, often setting you up for problems that they offered to solve via another Loan or Loan Top-Up, then you might just start to build up a case based on unwanted consolidation loans and unfair relationships etc.

 

If you have not already done so, get a SAR off to them, and ask for everything they have on you...all Loans, and every single entry on their Customer Log, or whatever they call it!

 

I hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

BRW

Thanks BRW, I appreciate your advice.

I have never taken out PPI on anything as I have been self employed for years and savvy enough to realise that it was inappropriate for me, despite assurances from all and sundry that it would be a good idea without them asking me my circumstances, surpises, surprise!

I agree that the previous loans are likely to throw up other problems from an enforceability point of view, however, I am just waiting to see how they mess things up first by not following procedures correctly, as is the case with my two credit cards in dispute with them which they seem to have given up on for now.

I have SAR'd them on my two credit cards, but got nothing on the loans which is probably my fault as I did not specifically ask for the info on the loans. Do you think I should have to pay £10 again to get this info from them, or can I get away with saying they should have included it even if I didn't ask?

Hello E!

 

The £10 is a Data Subject Access Request on you, the Data Subject, not on a per Account basis.

 

MBNA should therefore send you everything. If they do not, tell them, and then complain to the ICO that they are holding things back.

 

But the £10 covers the lot!

 

:D

 

Cheers,

BRW

Received a letter yesterday dated 17 December 2009 telling me they need yet more time to reply about the enforceability of my alleged agreement! This is the fourth time they have given me a deadline by which they will respond. Are they simply waiting for the results of the Manchester court cases to be interpreted to help them decide what to do? Is anyone else experiencing this long delay for a reply?

Occurs to me that the last reply I had after they took a couple of months to 'investigate' answers nothing and is typical of MBNA's standard response. So what were they 'investigating'?

I am not happy! MBNA have left messages for me to call them on my home, office and mobile numbers today. Both my office and mobile number are work numbers and I know this is a no-no. I also have a mobile for personal use but they don't have that number. Ignoring the guidelines as always, just have to hope my letter gets to them soon so that I get another (temporary I suppose) respite.

All other CCC's have long since got the message that I do not answer calls from them and have given up. Only MBNA persist with this harrasement and it seems there is nothing that works to stop them, other than changing all your numbers, which might be my only solution!

Threat-o-gram received today, standard one everyone seems to get threatening court action and a CCJ, etc. from Martin Supple. Says I must call them by 9pm tomorrow (don't think so!) so that we can come to some arrangement (needs me to have spare cash which I haven't got) and ends with 'Do not waste this opportunity.'

Obtaining a CCJ would be difficult for them as I am outside the UK. I do wonder if they realise that when they send letters to me outside the UK? Would mean using their brains - say no more!

Lots of anonymous daily calls received on my work mobile with no message left so can't prove it is MBNA without picking up, but at lunchtime today messages left on my office number for the second time and my work mobile and they called at home. Call to home showed as a central London (0207) number, a mobile number showed on my mobile and who knows what number, if any, appeared on my office number. They are following a similar pattern to my cc's before they gave up so I hope this is running its course to a conclusion.

Have to wait and see what they try eventually.

Hi Exchange,

 

Someone called Martin left a message on my answer phone at 8.40 this morning, but it was an international out of area number.

 

So glad they don't have my mobile, except they have if they used their initiative! Guess no one there has any!

Hi Dotty50,

 

I am following your battles still too, just not much to add!

 

I find it hard to believe that guidelines don't say no calls before 9 am or after 9 pm but have yet to find anything on this to quote to MBNA.

 

Good news is all other CCC's have been silent for a few months, pity MBNA are so persisitent, but then they probably gave out the most credit as well which is why they are struggling (i.e. Bank of America) more than others.

 

Shame!
