    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

okay okay, I admit I was vague but you did make me giggle :p

 

It seems difficult to navigate (even though its the same) and the colour is glaringly painful so maybe a different skin for people to use who do find the white too bright, other than that its mainly because I hate change.

 

edit: oh and the stickies need the blue bar back under them to separate them from the regular threads

Ok

 

Minuses:

1. No 'New Posts' button

 

2. Search facility has no:

a) 'Find posts/ threads started by User'

b) 'Find threads with At least/At most replies, so impossible to look for 0 reply threads

c) 'Show results as post/thread'

 

3. No 'Mark Forums Read' button

 

4. Thread titles are far less distinct, less easy to skim, so far more time consuming to read

 

5. Not having the Forum title in a separate column, again makes it far more difficult to filter out forums that you're not interested in

 

Pluses

Still looking for any

 

In short, as a downgrade, a resounding success. As an upgrade, an unmitigated disaster

Most of your stuff Michael is probably being sorted. As for the plusses, although maybe not as apparent there is greater security with V.Bulletin 4.0.0 over 3.7.0 and also the integration of Youtube is going to make posts more interesting. There is also a "blog" facility integrated (I don't know if webby has any plans to use it or remove it)

any posts like this I'm sure webby will be looking into. I think it would not be beyond the realms of posibility to add customisable colour schemes... I think that would be pretty low on the "To do" list tho :p

Yes, I can see that's a vast improvement on the previous one click button at the top of each page

I'm sure that will be added soon enough

You still need to alter the search parameters though, otherise it shows forum by forum.

 

MB, I didn't say it was a vast improvement, I was merely trying to find a way to keep on helping people instead of bitching about the new outlook, which let's face is is here to stay, and until the kinks have been ironed out, people are still going to come here and ask for assistance, so in the meantime, my post at least may assist some people, know what I mean? ;-)

Can you please make the difference in the varying shades of blue for threads showing read and unread posts more pronounced?

 

Can you also alter it so that things like links etc in posts stand out more?

 

I'm finding all these dulcet tones of wishy washy grey-blue, the lack of deinition & the sameness of everything a bit over whelming tbf.

I've got the same thing now as midenmess - that bailiffs book has just appeared on this thread, page 7 and pushed everything out of shape.

 

Even as I type this, the text goes behind a blank grey bit where the pge 7 of 7 then

 

Something is very wrong with the layout.

 

It's only working for certain pc/laptop/mobile set-ups and a whole load is just not visible.

 

As for youtubes in posts????

 

Ghastly - and I think they'll cause more problems than ever.

Press PrtScr button, open paint and press CTRL + V. that'll give you a screenshot of the problem. Load that into an image hosting place like "imageshack.us" and post here for everyone to see.

As a big fan of smilies, I'm disappointed that the ones I like have disappeared apart from a few :( (like that one!)

 

I'm sure I'll get used to the new software but when you're in a middle of a court case and you get up early on a work day morning to read posts, it's a bit of a shock to the system.

 

It would've have been nice to have had a little notice that things would be changing though! On my old lappy, it looks like all the fonts have corrupted and it's just taken me ten minutes how to work out how to send a very important PM.

 

PS - sorry but the new smilies suck :p

I don't have 'paint' or anything else like it.

 

And something else has changed since this morning - the text fontsize in all the posts is bigger - whereas this morning some posters were complaining about it being too small I was not having a problem with that.

 

Now, everything is scrunched up or misssing at the sides - it's become a total mess and very hard to read/ post etc.

 

And - it's slowed right down again.

Webby will be off my Christmas Card list then Loco !!

 

I like the "nice" smilies, they make CAG seem more familiar when you've been away for a while - it's like coming home!

 

There is another forum I nip on occasionally (nothing to do with consumer stuff) and I don't go on there very often because of those crappy smilies - they put me off!!! Perhaps it's a wummmaaannnn thing LOL

 

PS - CAG is constantly "loading" which is a bit gggrrr too !
