      SJP letter from courts - Car tax fine

      By notodebt · Posted

      HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in spefic terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have expained it on CAG?

      SJP letter from courts - Car tax fine

      By dx100uk · Posted

      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

      SJP letter from courts - Car tax fine

      By notodebt · Posted

      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

    • 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.

Hello, I'm new here and hoping for some advice.

 

I'm not looking for sympathy as my situation is my fault. I have received a letter today from tax credits saying the household income I stated for renewal is incorrect to the records they hold for my 10/11 award(I declared 2500 less). The letter isn't threatening as such it just says that I should ring them if I disagree, if they don't hear from me before the end of this month they will amend my award.

 

Obviously, I have been overpaid and will have to pay this back in my next tax credits year, but my question is, will I be prosecuted? is it likely to go further? I feel so sick to my stomach and so angry at myself for cheating like this. I will be devastated if this is made public and my children are hurt.

 

I'm so ashamed of myself, but things have been very tough for my family over the past year, no excuse I know :sad:

There are a lot more people on here that are probably able to give you advice, but have you thought about ringing them up ? If you know you have incorrectly claimed then it will look better if you ring them and explain? Just a thought anyway. I am here with a problem and the guys on here have been fantastic...put it this way I think I would of cracked had it not been for people on here.

Thanks Annie, I feel sick with worry. The letter I got says they already know the correct salary and that it is different to the declared. It then says 'What to do now?' and goes on to say that if I disagree I should ring then and send my P60, but if they don't hear from me my award will be amended with the info they hold. I assume they will lower my payments this year to claim back the overpayment.

It is easy for anyone to say do not worry, blimey have had it said to me so many times, but doesnt stop you from worrying does it?

 

Well I am not sure what to advise to be honest, just thought if you rang them and said, that the annual income they have now is correct and could your tax credits be reviewed, but if you prefer to leave it, then its your choice to make. There are more and more tax credits posts on here, just in the last two weeks I have been here, so it is happening to a lot to people, and in coming here it shows you want to sort it out, by asking advice. I am sure someone else will read your post and help you.

Hello there, welcome to the forum. It's up to you as Annie says, but my thought is that you might as well ring and tell them how it is. That way, you can start to put life back in order.

 

I don't think they're going to tell you off, and you're certainly not the only one. But it isn't going to be sorted unless you make contact.

 

My best, HB

With the greatest of respect, there is no attempt here to sort anything out. The poster wants to know what action HMRC will take now the false figure has been corrected.

 

In answer to the original poster, tax credits will likely reduce your future public funding (tax credits) to pay it back

I'm really sorry if that's how I have come across, I do want to sort it out having spent a sleepless night worrying. I am going to ring them today to confirm the details and apologise for my mistake. Thank you for your help:-(

Hi, just to update you. I have just rung the office in Preston where the letter was from, and spoke to a lovely lady. I told her that I had given the wrong information when renewing. I apologised profusely, managing not to cry and told her the correct details. She said my claim would be amended as advised in the letter and thank you for ringing to confirm and that lots of people get information wrong (I think she could hear my wobbly voice)

 

Panic over, lesson definitely learned. Thank you for your help xx

Great :)

When(if) you get ann overpayment letter, someone will see if it's correct.

 

Tax credits are normally easier to deal with and just want their money back (with or without a penalty)

 

If it was other benefits such as housing, then you could have been looking at a IUC, and a wait to see if you were charged with fraud.
