    • 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?

    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Thought I'd start a new thread re Clydesdale!

 

Story so far.........

 

26th May....sent prelim letter. Got standard reply telling me 'sorry you're not happy. Please s*d off!! HAve a free complaints leaflet!'

 

11th June....LBA sent. Absolutely no reply (even though I asked them to treat the second letter as an appeal!)

 

23rd September......Summary Cause forms sent by registered post to Dundee Sherrif Court claiming £1024 plus interest!

 

Now awaiting the next stage. Would anyone disagree that the delay between sending the LBA and submitting the court summons can be construed as a reasonable period during which the bank could reply? Must admit, I'm starting to get a little bit nervous

 

Mods, please feel free to move this if I've accidentally posted in the wrong place! :-)

Hi,

 

I hope you get everything you are due from these charlatans.

 

I am at the very start of taking them on.

I visited the bank and requested bank statements going back 6 years and was informed that I would be charged £5 per statement!

that's £360 just to get information that I am entitled to.

I will keep you informed with my progress and will be keeping an eye on how you get on.

 

Best of luck!

Hi,

 

Thanks for that.

 

Tell them to get knotted, it would've cost me about £185 too!!!!!!

 

I can give you a copy of the letter they sent me if you like? It clearly states that the required information is available for the £10 fee. They MUST comply with the DPA letter!!! If they keep up this ridiculous demand, threaten to report them to the Information Commissioner!

 

If you're in Scotland though, you can only claim back 5 years. Give me a day or so, I'll get the letter scanned in & I can e-mail it to you?

 

Just send me a PM if you'd like a copy :-)

Phoned the Court on Friday! Forms have'nt been processed yet so still waiting! Has anyone had any experience of claiming using the Summary Cause forms as opposed to Small Claims? Read on another thread that this procedure was intended for lawyers, but it's what the clerk at the court advised me to do as the claim is over £750. Slightly worried that this may incentivise the bank to lodge a defence

Used Summ cause, won first, waiting on settlement for no2. Not much difference in the 2 actions, sheriff Officer to serve summons and higher costs if you loose, but that ain't going to happen.

You havn't done anything wrong, Ordinary action requires a solicitor but not summ cause.

Hi Quixote,

 

Just wanted to say good luck with claims.

 

I'm going through small claims route in Dundee Sheriff court too with Barclays( i have thread in scottish section also). In process of first claim, have return date for 30/10/06 and hearing date for 06/11/06. Getting a bit nervous, keep putting off getting court bundle organised!!

 

Summary Cause did sound easier to get it all back at once, but i re-thought too and went small claims route.

 

I will check in to see how your getting on, fingers crossed, not that we'll need it!!

I don't think he actually went to court :-) They just rolled over & paid out when the summons was served on them!!! I'm pretty sure the banks now they're on a sticky wicket, & the recent upsurge in consumer awareness (and justifiable fury!!!) is going to eventually result in a test case. In the meantime however, I think they're of the view that the majority of their customers are'nt aware that a course of redress exists (or if they are, they view it as too much trouble)

I've got a hearing date!!!

 

News came on Friday........Return date, 12th December, Hearing date 18th :)

 

Should I expect a letter from the bank before then, do you think? Starting to prepare my case already. NOT going to be caught out by any fly lawyer if it comes to appearing in court!!!!!

They've offered to settle!

 

£744 to drop the action (which is the capital amount I'm claiming for. No offer of expenses or interest though) Not sure what to do & could do with some reassurance. I've considered settling, but as I have a further claim (for around £350) I would'nt want to predjudice it. I'm of a mind to write back telling them I will settle all claims (without prejudice to future action) fo the full amount I intend to claim (£1096, plus 8% interest and expenses of £39) What would you guys/gals recommend I do?

In my case they initially offered a settlement of only the charges, which I then rejected. Subsequently they offered the interest as well (although in my case I added the interest to the claim, which I'm not sure you have done).

 

As for trying to bring the rest of the money into it, I personally would not do that. Stick to doing it one claim at a time. Just be patient and you will also get your other money.

 

You could always give them one last chance after this action has been settled and before you put your court papers in for the next one.

Oops!! Too late :-(

 

I replied to their letter stating that I would be prepared 'in principle' to settle prior to court action. I've asked them to settle the total sum of charges (£1094) and remove all default notices applied as a result of them, but offered (in good faith) to waive the interest & expenses. If this is'nt acceptable to them, it's off to court we go!!! I did state that the letter was written 'without prejudice', so that should ensure that it's a 'between me and them' matter at present. I'll let you all know what their response is...........

Phew!!! Thanks for that. I kinda thought that if I demonstrated that if I was willing to settle, the bank would see the light & just cough up. Hope I made it clear to them that I was perfectly prepared to follow it through though

  • 4 weeks later...

Letter received 2nd December offering settlement of the capital sum! I returned the letter accepting the settlement. As part of the terms I dictated to them (see my post of Nov 14th), I should have received payment prior to today! I'm fizzing mad as they appear to be playing silly buggers yet again!

 

I'm seriously tempted to contact Neil McKirdy (customer relations) & tell them that settlement prior to court action is now not an option, and that I'll see them in court on the 18th!!!

 

Would somebody please tell me to take a deep breath? Or should I push back as hard as they seem to be doing?

Does anyone know re the legislation which applies in Scotland for claiming charges on business accounts as opposed to personal accounts. Partnerships - not Ltd liability companies.

Does the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 apply or is it something else ??
