    • I believe it is helpful to seek guidance from a range of places and decide on the validity of the sources and frequency of responses which are most helpful. A single voice can be a dangerous thing. As, of course, can groupthink. Scott, it feels like £4k on a solicitor for a £1.5k bill is overkill. Were we back in time I'd suggest small claims court as your claim sounds like it may be straightforward? By all means add that phrase on. I also suggest you contact the court and go and sit in on a couple of similar cases to get a better understanding before you shell out.

    • 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.

Hello cranberry and welcome to CAG.

 

It's kind of you to post up your experience and I hope it helps the others.

 

My best, HB

 

 

no worries!

 

tbh, i am so glad it is out in the open, it has made my other half address his problems - which i wont go into on here - these problems were the reason i carried on claiming as a single person - and i feel a weight has been lifted from my shoulders after a very panicked weekend.

 

on a more serious note, i want to emphasise how many claims they must be checking and correcting - and the majority of these that is ALL they are doing - CORRECTING - i seriously doubt any one will be going to prison unless they have majorly denied / made up false people / laundered serious amounts.

 

i am so glad that i found this forum, i looked at another but felt if a posted there i would of been eaten alive.there are some good threads here, keep up the good work.

they said they had to back date it to the start of my claim which was july last year, even though i said he had only been here a couple of months they said the credit file showed longer so they had to do it that way, i felt it was best just to go along with it, if i denied it they would of looked further into it and the process probably would of taken longer (probably) and i just wanted it sorted.

 

he was a really nice chap, you could tell they were snowed under. i think they were just happy that i came clean - less for them to do maybe?

 

i then had to ring the 0845 number to make new claim, it will be back dated 3 months for some reason?

 

we will be getting a lot less and obviously the overpayment will be coming out of it too, but the sense of relief is immense for me.

 

i am sure it will be ok for you too,keep us updated, i reckon there will alot more posts like this in coming weeks/months due to the HMRC's new checks,so it would be good to give other worried people our stories!

 

 

i only joined today but was reading as a guest over the weekend, i do hope folle reads this - i was quite concerned about her.

Good news Cranberryjuice. Yours does seem to be the way the story goes with tax credits the majority of the time. It's just a shame that it can take longer to sort out for other people. It's good that it's getting sorted now because come april they will only have backdated your claim 1 month & not the 3.

I only joined yesterday after reading over the weekend too.

It's a shame not many people post the outcome of their situation.

folle, i have been popping back in to ee how you are, glad you came back.

 

right, at the top of your first letter, did it say which claim dates they were looking into?

 

mine said 2010/2011 and then 2011/2012 - this is when i thought to myself 'oh sh!t'......but he only said to me about the current years claim.

 

i take it you are disputing it?if so it could be more complicated. i suppose mine was different becaue i admitted it ?

 

try not to worry too much, honestly.

I haven't got as far to speak to a case worker yet.

I got my letter last Saturday phoned Monday and was told I would be called back because of high volumes of calls and was told the same again on Tuesday.

So it's all yet to come for me and it's doing my head in not knowing what to expect.

It's all a mess.

When did u send your stuff in??
