    • A never ending torrent of **it Outrage as ‘tidal wave’ of sewage floods historic market town’s unique chalk river WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Exclusive: Water firm pumps sewage into river Misbourne, Amersham on 21 ‘dry days’ during nearly five month period  
    • Worth noting that all of these firms - either the alleged EIS investment, the rebate company themselves or the payee were all registered to the same address. Clavering House is 3 miles away from HMRC Benton Park view offices.   Wardrop - unfortunately unsuccessful due to late appeal - assessments opened by HMRC in March 2019. Scammed by Richard Hall (Capital allowances consultants ltd - Clavering House) investments into Cryoblast Limited 15/16 (Paul Huggins - Clavering House) and Eco Cooling solutions 16/17 (Anthony Fitches - Clavering House).    Mccuminsky - scammed by Capital Allowances after providing his details to Stefan Brown Alpha Tax Consultants (Clavering House) payment made to Eco Cooling Solutions.    Robson - scammed by Capital Allowances - 15/16 paid to Cryoblast 16/17 paid to Eco Cooling.    Myself - scammed by Allan Maxwell - MaxTax (other business Maxwell electronics) registered to Clavering House.   Cryoblast Solutions and Fast Tax - Alan O’Hara    Please note there are two Cryoblasts involved - Cryoblast limited (Paul Huggins and Clavering House) and Cryoblast Solutions Limited (Alan O’Hara also director of Fast Tax).    My return simply said “Cryoblast” another thing that should have been clarified as part of HMRC guidelines before paying out the claim.    Cryoblast limited was already suspected to be involved in fraudulent claims before my investment as Huntly had open assessments issued in November 2018.    Cryoblast Solutions, the same company director as Fast Tax where my money was sent was dissolved before my claims were submitted.

    • dont need them.   let the defendant play the terms game
    • I am reading the thread now and think although its probably very similar to my predicament,  I have no way of obtaining the terms anymore due to MyParcelDelivery having being dissolved and their website not being active now. I have nothing to quote from and they didn't send me a copy at the time of order, the website that I believe they reinvented themselves as P4D has terms I am looking at now but however similar they may be I wont be able to quote from them in this case. Thanks

    • 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.

Anyone help??

 

I withdrew £15000 from my bank account then another £15000 2 days later. I then closed the account. This was to pay loan sharks off for my son. I was then broke with no job so I went on Job Aeekers Allownce untill I can start work again. I have been told from a member of my family that the DWP will be informed of this and that I could be in trouble. Does anyone know if this could happen. I am worried sick and don't know what to do. I somehow don't think the loan sharks are going to give me a receipt!!!!

I think it would be relevant for means tested benefits such as Income Support, Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.

 

Think Job seekers will be ok, it's just if you're receiving anything else that may cause you problems. If they believe that you disposed/deprived yourself of your capital in order to be able to claim benefits then they may treat your claim as if the money was still in the bank.

 

Are you receiving any other benefits Ally?

The DWP can treat it as if you still had the money, which could disentitle you to income based JSA. It's referred to as "deprivation of capital", and it can be applied even where the money was used to pay debt.

 

There is no cut and dry case in regard to this; it is down to the Decision Maker who will make a determination based upon the evidence available.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

Again it will depend which type of Jobseekers Allowance you are on, if you are on the means tested (income based) JSA then capital over £6000.00 affects the amount of benefit you are entitled to and if you have £16000.00 or more then its deemed that you have too much capital to claim the income based JSA.

 

If you are claiming Contribution based JSA then the only things affecting this is an occupational pension and part time earnings. It is based on your national insurance contributions and lasts six months.

 

There is a department that matches people on benefit with payments of interest due to them in the tax year that they are claiming and it could be that until you withdrew the money you accrued some interest that they would be informed of, this being the case they would need to see all your statements in order to establish how much was withdrawn and a statement from yourself telling why you withdrew the money and how you disposed of it.

 

Eriika is right, if they deem it unreasonable for you to withdraw £300,000.00 from your capital and give it away they could consider it as deprivation of capital and then they would treat it as though you still have it but that is down to the decision maker and the evidence you provide to back up your case.

 

If you can find out which JSA you are getting it would be easier to judge if it will make any difference.

Advice given is my opinion only, I am not a legal or financial expert (far from it).

Thanks to everyone for your replies which were helpfull. I only had the £30.000 in bank for a week as it was a cheque from premium bonds so hopefully it may not have been detected unless anyone knows different???

Are you already receiving JSA or have you applied?

 

If you have made an application they will want to see bank statements so will see the money was in your account and then withdrawn. They will want to know where it went and as obviously you don't have proof of the payment this will cause difficulties with your claim.

 

However, if you are already claiming then they may never find out. It appears although they can ask banks, etc for info they can only do this when they suspect fraud is being carried out. So if they have no reason to think you may have received extra money then they won't check. But you have to think about who knows you received the money, etc as they may report you for fraud.

The bank statements I gave them were from another bank account I have and they were satified with these, hence the decision that they said I am entitled to JSA and housing/council tax benefit. Only a couple of close friends know I had the bonds whom I trust. Just wasn't sure banks/NSA inform DWP of such things.

Hi Welshmam,

 

Yes I think that sounds right, they woulnd't be concerned the fact the cheque was from National Savings. Again thank you for you time,

 

Regards
