      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By honeybee13 · Posted

      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

      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By Schipoo · Posted

      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.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By stu007 · Posted

      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

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Right, Also, I Am NoW GOINGTo Get InTouch With The Moderators.......

 

WHY WE ARENT FIGHTING, SIMPLE. THE DJ SAID SHE HAD SEEN 25 CASES ON MONDAY 28TH AND TUESDAY 29, OUT OF ALL THOSE, ONLY 3 WERE SET ASIDE, HER ADVICE WAS TO NEGOTIATE...AS WE WOULD LOSE.....EVIDENCE AGAINST MY WIFE FAR TOO MUCH, SHE WANTED MORE EVIDENCE FROM US THAT WE COULD PROVE AN UNENFOREABLE DEBT...

 

AS SHE POINTED OUT, IF THEY HANDT HAVE TURNED UP THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SET ASIDE..SHE ADVISED US TO SETTLE..

 

If you/your wife were taken to court as a Defendant, then it's not up to you/your wife to prove an unenforceable debt.... it's up the Claimant bringing the action against you.

 

Are you now saying that you were the Claimant?

 

If so, then it would explain why you never posted up the POC... like you were asked to... :rolleyes:

Beaconsman, there's far too much on this (and other) threads that really doesn't add up.... this is why people doubt your authenticity.

 

If your wife doesn't want to follow advice on here, then that's up to your wife. You've said that she has a friend who is a "lawyer" (I assume you mean solicitor).... If your wife prefers to get her advice from elsewhere, then it is her decision entirely.

 

You've also said that your wife earns 3 x as much as you.... yet you work in education. The assumption is that you're a Physics teacher, but as your info. continues to be vague... you could also be a lab technician.... which might make more sense.

 

The point I'm making is that on the face of it, you and your wife appear to have an income that a lot of people would be grateful for.... yet absolutely no idea about how to manage it. Please forgive me if that sounds judgemental....

 

Bottom line is.... either you want our help or you don't. If you don't, then rather than attack the advice given to you... just go away.

 

:)

I guessed why your nick was what it was so never doubted you on that score, it's just that your wife not wanting our advice is a bit suspect seeing as you kept asking. I agree with P1 that your earnings should be enough not to be affraid of a £4000 debt.

 

If you choose the VCO and make an agreement to pay £50 a month that's upto you and your wife. Just never seen it before on here :confused:

Would someone who is not working in the Financial Sector have a case for unfair dismissal if they lost their job because of being made Bankrupt.

 

 

Not sure on that one ODC, but as I work in the education sector myself... an unqualified teacher (Instructor) would be on approx. £17K at least... so if that's what the day job is and his wife's on 3x his salary (as he claims), then he appears to be in a far better position to sort his/his wife's problems out than most people on here.

Obviously for those who critisise my wife's opinions, fine, I came on here to help her, she doesnt want to fight them, unless she registers herself on here, which I will ask her too...by the way, my laptop has internet problems plus our service is being affected by the adverse weather here in the wolds..as for others nitpicking my spelling, oh dear..u really ought to get a friggin life...as for my teaching quals, no, i am not yet a qualified teacher, and have no intention to be...I want to work in Higher education..as for those who wish to question my experience or teaching skills...carry on, silence is golden as far as i am concerned..i have posted on here before for other things, now i am not too sure as this forum is getting to be like the one on MCN,(motorcycle news)..anyway ..arte et marte....If I need anymore advice on my own finances, then I may or may not be back judging by the comments as to the sincerity of who I am, if i work for a dca...not a good ad for CAG is it?..if anyone wishes to converse to me, i have no objections to pming and giving you my number....??..hmm, thought not....typing on a forum and slagging off other people is a cowards way...mano a mano...far better...anyway, I am off now to start my motorbike up as she is a bit chilly..

 

Thanks all to the genuine replies, I am sorry but this isnt my fight, its my wifes, she has decided to drop the action for the set aside..

 

Please no more comments about my profession etc..as an ex soldier i tend to get a bit offended as to the services i have given and some of you ahve (Correction, HAVE)! the right to post freely here...others in the world are not so lucky, so think on.....

You wouldn't be the first to get a cack Judge, Beaconsman.... and nothing worth having in life is easy. I've fought many, many battles in my life.... and I woudn't say any of them have been particularly easy.... but I would have lost the house I'm in now if I'd gone through a solicitor years ago. I've never forgotten that, which is why I've always handled everything myself; DMPs the lot. As a result (I believe), I'm not in Debt Row any more... :)

 

Sometimes you have to keep on with the fight to see justice done and/or maintain a certain standard of living for yourself and your family. You also have to believe in yourself...

We can discuss this 'til the cows come home but the fact remains that you keep saying that your combined income is very high but you don't say why a £4000 debt is bothering you appart from your wife's job being at risk if she was made BR :confused:

Then it sounds as if your legal argument wasn't strong enough. A courtroom is a place where aspects of law are challenged and debated, so to speak. People who go in there need to fight their corner.... which means that the arguments need to be polished to perfection.

 

When they're not, people often find themselves ripped to shreds.

If you appeal you will win eventually. It's as simple as that, the precedent law goes all the way to the House of Lords, and nothing that a poor example of a DJ says or does can ever trump that.

 

However, you have chosen to give up the fight, as is your right, so there is no point in advising further.

This is one of the most confusing threads I've seen on CAG.

 

Can the OP please make clear which court this was, who the judge was, and exactly what the hearing was for. We might be able to make some sense of it all then.

 

 

Quoted as it seems the OP missed this one to answer whilst ranting at other forum members!

... because underneath it all, he might actually need some help, not have the confidence to take the system on right now and be lashing out at anyone and everyone instead. It's easier for some people to do that sometimes...

 

If he needs/wants help, then people will try and listen to him, but at the moment he's not making much sense.... so no-one can.

 

I'm not entirely sure of the story, I'll admit.... but am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt if/when he responds to some of the questions that have been asked.

with respect , firstly, stop shouting.

 

secondly if you posted up the documents that you spoke of it might go some way to showing those who doubt you that you are indeed genuine

 

they will (rightly) assume that if you cant show the docs you may be disingenuous

 

personally i remain neutral on the issue
