    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty Dx

    • 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  brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details  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, slightly longer than the original tax set up, 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. 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  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

    • 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.

Hiya, i did recieve something through the post with the complaint response, which they claim is their notice of assignment. It is on 1st credit letter headed paper, the date on it is 31/08/2006 and it basically says that they give me notice that Lloyds tsb has assigned 1st credit ltd all of the banks rights in to and under the above detailed account. Thay say they have been appointed by Lloyds tsb to administor the account. It says the full outstanding amount is owed to 1st credit. I should contact the office immediatly blah blah blah.

 

However in August 2006, Connaught was the DCA (i know they are the same vultures). And in August 2006, Connaught knew of my current addreess, so why is my old, old address on this stupid excuse of a 'document'??? They know full well that i didn't live there at the time, or they would have done if they were the true owners of the debt. If they were going to send a NOA back in 2006, then wouldn't they send it to the address i was living at?? In other words, do you think that this is a genuine NOA?? (i don't really know what one looks like). I think they are taking the micky.

 

Also, i certainly will be reporting these low lives to anyone and everyone i can think of, including OFT, TS, CSA. If not just for me, for everyone else that has been bullied by these muppets.

 

Still no SAR from Lloyds, that may take time.

You need an NOA from LTSB on LTSB letterhead - and legally (Law of Property Act 1925) it should be sent registered post, although recorded delivery is now regarded as acceptable. Again you need to tell 1st crud to "prove it". Any DCA (or indeed any fraudster - same thing?) - could knock this sort of thing up and demand you pay them now instead of the OC. If the OC hasn't confirmed this you would be taking a risk paying any third party.

 

IMHO it has NO legal standing whatsover - and since it was clearly sent to a long outdated address it wasn't even "served". If you want to rattle their cage a bit more then ask them to prove it was sent registered post (as required) and show proof of who signed for it. Don't highlight it was sent to an out of date address. You may even get something back with your own signature - which WOULD be interesting!

 

You need to SAR LTSB and see what that throws up - send Account in Dispute letter to 1st Crud.

Bigdebtor, u are fantastic, I thought it looked a bit dodgy when i read it. I will most certainly send an account in dispute letter, i'll have a look for a template on this site, as my writing skills are awful. I have send an SAR to Lloyds, will push it with them for a response if i don't hear from them.

 

I will certainly not be giving these clowns anymore money until i have cast iron proof of the debt, i can't believe that they tried to pull the wool over my eyes. Fraudsters!!!!!

 

Well we'll see what they come up with now.

 

Thanks again for that advice

You're welcome. I'm pretty sure there is a template- but let me know if there isn't and you want a copy of one I've done (but I think I did it from a template from CAG).

 

Google 1st Credit and you'll find out about how the OFT views them! They seem to be the OFT No. 1 target for not playing fair.

 

Good luck

I am not surprised the OFT is on to them, i watched the Panorama documentary and was sickened at the way these agents treated the debtors. I have done loads of research on 1st credit and they're website makes them look like a nicey, nicey bunch of samaritans who 'only wants to help the debtor' and who sympathises with the debtor, i had to laugh. because when i googled them, i did not find one posative comment on the muppets, i read about how the OFT are closely monitoring them, i hope they get theie lisence taken straight off them!!

 

I can't seem to fand a template specifically for disputes, do you mind if i use your template? To be honest with you i don't think 1st credit have got hald the paper work they need in order to take me to court, they are useless lol

You should look closely at any default notices, termination notices issued by LTSB.

 

I have seen some on here where the amount to rectify the situation is not given properly by LTSB (ie £xxx + interest up to the date paid in). I am sure that makes the default invalid & everything following rather dodgy. They might even decide that they don't need to send any copies of DNs etc - maybe for that reason.

 

That might make the sale of the alleged debt rather interesting ...

We need to see what the SAR to LTSB throws up.

 

Dodgy DN's don't seem to be as helpful to the debtor as they once were - according to some recent posts on Pinky 69's "Invalid DN thread".

 

In the meantime 1st crud should be given enough rope to hang themselves by monitoring how they behave after getting an "Account in Dispute" letter.

I agree - but they still don't have the sense to read and understand what we say and use our superior knowledge to put right their dodgy ways. As long as we don't mention specifics about any particular cases I think such general comments can be made quite safely.

 

After all, the Banks have known for 34 years what SHOULD go into a compliant DN - it's public domain information - but they STILL get it wrong - and I place 1st crud a long way further back in evolution than the Banks!

 

I do hope they read this!

ps...if they do trawl this forum, then they probably won't have the intelligence to understand half of what is said. I will be on to them big time. Thanks again peeps, hopefully this experience i'm having will work out ok in order for me to pass on the knowledge and help other people on this site, i've learned a hell of a lot.
