    • do you ultimately want to keep the car?
    • Thank you!    It was bought on my debit card    
    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .

    • 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,

 

i have recevied a letter from hmrc stating they are reviewing my 'income tax position' and wish to do a 'compliance check' ('make sure customers are paying right amount of tax and receving right allowance & tax relief') as i am listed as director on 2 company's.

 

the 1st company was already un the process of closing and the 2nd only opened a few months ago. all company accounts are upto date have been submitted & all tax payments to them have been paid.

 

however the letter states they wish to update thier records and confirm source's of income for upto the last 3 or so years.

 

I have never come across these type of checks and not sure why they would be doing this & not sure if thier is anything to watch out for.

 

has anyone else been through this ? what should i do?

I've not heard of this either. I don't think you have anything to worry about as long as you are honest with them.

HMRC are desperately trying to collect revenue these days and seem to be coming up with all kinds of new tricks to catch you out.

If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about though.

Sounds like you'll be fine, although i'm not sure why they are targeting people that are registered with them. They should be starting to go through places like eBay & get in touch with the sellers on there that aren't registered with them. Like they do in USA, over there Paypal notifys their tax office when someone earns over a certain amount in sales. In my business I am not making enough yet to even pay tax, but there are numerous others been doing the same thing longer & fetching at least a couple of grand a month on there & not paying tax.

That does rile me.

thanks for the supportive feedback guys.

 

here are one of the lines on the letter

 

'we are undertaking review of your income tax position because you are currently director of 2 business's and according to record you ceased employment in x year. so therefore to update my records and ensure they are accurate pls confirm source of income since that date'.

 

i understand this really, i have updated them already, so not sure why they are doing this, and wonder if they are trying to catch me out, even though thier is nothing to catch.

 

just annoying cos naturally you begin to get worried and i have always filed all my accounts and any monies owed to them in good time.

 

:-(

 

just a little stressted and annoyed with them at the moment. ruined my weekend.

I am afraid I can't give you the reason why you have been chosen for a review, but I can hazard a guess!

HMRC have many compliance projects on the go at the moment; one of them is directorships of close companies ( less than 5 directors and/or family run)

The reason for this project is that directors control the purse strings of the company and can manipulate those purse strings (not that I am for one second accusing you if this)

As I understand it, the OP is a director of a Ltd company.

Directors of Ltd Co. are classed as an employee of that company. The Ltd Co is a separate legal entity from the director.

Sole traders are in a different position. There us no separate legal entity from them.

If they go under they could end up losing everything.

The losses for a Ltd Co will be limited to the amounts that the directors put in to the company.

Hi,

 

thanks for taking time to respond.

 

ok - but i have submitted all accounts for the business...and they would have access or able to obtain this information? or not? (i.e they already aware of the account information about the company, but want me to confirm it to them directly?)

Basically, although you are an employee (because you are a director of a Ltd Co) you are in a unique position, unlike ordinary employees, whereby you are in a position to manipulate payments to the company such as a directors loan account, goodwill payments etc

Payments such as these may constitute wages but may not always have tax/NI deducted.

This is what HMRC are interested in; the question they ask themselves is this, is the payment a reward for services past, present or future and if they are then tax and NI should be deducted

In answer to your second question, it is possible that some of the expenses/deductions might appear (to HMRC) to be non business related and they want to check to make sure.

ok I see what your saying, I spoke to the accoutant earlier as they are more in tune with this, so have got a appointment with them and will go through this. all the expense side of things are all backed up with the paper work, so if this is all this is about then it should be fine...I just hope they havent changed a rule and they are trying to catch me out on it.

 

thanks for your feedback guys. :-0)

Sometimes these checks are just random and mandatory so don't stress too much.

Im sure your accountant will go over everything at the meeting so if there are any issues he/she will be able to advise you on them.

hello again,

 

a little update so far,

 

I spoke to the accountant and they simply stated figures will need to be provided to the Tax Compliance team over the periods they have requested, this was confirmed and supplied to the Tax Compliance team.

 

A few weeks later, I received a response back from the Tax Compliance Team & they are now requesting

 

- actual amounts received for those periods

- employers reference

- bank statements for those periods

 

and they also state

 

'director will typically receive benefits in kind' ....

 

I am not sure if thier is some hidden agenda here at all....and what do they mean by employers ref & what a cheeky comment they made 'director will typically receive benefits in kind' thats a little out of order I thought....at the end of the day I am just a 1 man team & feel they are un-necessarily stressing me out.

 

im just putting together my bank statements...is their anything I should be weary about at all

& has anyone else gone through this ?

Hi

Just supply the information they've asked for.

Make sure that all the items are business related and that you have receipts/invoices to back them up.

If you have put private items through the business then they should have been reimbursed; if that's not the case, then all you would need to do would be to disclose that to HMRC and pay the duties thereon.

I agree, the wording is a bit cheeky, there's no need for them to say it quite frankly!

Hi

 

Can I have any update on your situation regarding the compliance check please....??

one of my friends received compliance check. We are not sure why this is sent to him as he does not own a company not he is a PAYE or contractor. He is on permanent role at a company and only earns one salary and no other household income. He pays tax promptly which is looked after by the employer who pays his salary. Donno why he was chosen for the complaince check as I assume the compliance checks are done for self-employed or a business.

 

your experiences and inputs will be of great help.

 

Thanks in anticipations
