    • I think his point is renewing his season ticket shows it wont happen again. using contactles doesnt.
    • Thanks dx for your guide. Yes, I will use their services, but not often. I usually spend around 80 per month, but the season ticket price is 160. I plan to renew it as long it could help me to show that I will not do it again.
    • if you are going to be using its services yes if not no. STOP PANICKING........ yours is not the next move. dx  
    • You could try this and include a copy to the SRA who are being particularly tolerant to this bunch of jackapes. This also shows that you are not to be messed with and are capable of stirring up trouble for them when they step out of line. Dear DCBL, I am in receipt of your letter of 18th April 2024 regarding CPR1.1 After studying the whole section I cannot see anywhere that I am required to furnish you  with my mail address or my phone number. Perhaps you would be kind enough to provide me with a reference to it. I suspect that your subterfuge is designed to allow you to bombard uninformed litigants with last minute information on the day of their Court case which appears to occur at times with your company. I notice that you are asking for proportionality at the same time as you are demanding  an unlawful £160 when you are aware that under PoFA the maximum that can be demanded  is only £100. You will note  that I have included the Solicitor's Regulation Authority into our conversation in order to ensure your reply. And your old excuse of "admin. error" is surely wearing a bit thin even with the SRA. so I look forward to an apology for your error and a declaration that you will desist from trying to hoodwink other motorists in future.

    • 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.

Got the letter yesterday, not slept and been sick several times, I know it's my own fault though.

 

Letter arrived yesterday asking why I was claiming as a single parent when they have info from a credit reference agency that my husband stays here-he does.

 

I started claiming as a single parent when we split three years ago- he only moved out a few weeks but we never changed any bank info etc and obviously there is no proof he did move out.

 

The letter that came through only says 2011/2012 at the top so I'm wondering if that's all they are bothered about or if they will start to investigate further?

 

I have been stupid and the only excuse I have is money was so tight at the time that I did not want to give it up then as the lie went on it got harder and harder to own up.

 

I have already renewed (and lied) again this year which will also go againsed me.

 

I am terrifiied of going to court and prison.

 

Am torn between calling them and admitting everything but I dont know what date they think my husband moved back in and dont want to land myself in more trouble.

 

Also thought about waiting the three weeks until they stop my payments but would they still investigate me or just send me a notice to pay back all 2011/2012 payments which I could hopefully set up a plan for.

 

I really don't want to make a joint claim, I want to pay this back and never claim another penny again.

 

Any advice about how much trouble I am in or what the best thing to do would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm going to phone cab tomorrow but not sure if I should fess up to the three years or hope I get away with it just being 2011/2012

Wondered if I should just phone and say I have taken advice and realise that in my situation I should have made a joint claim and how can I pay it back but if they ask when my husband moved back in I either have to lie or face landing myself in more bother.

Hi Cat2212

tax credits have full records and can view your husbands credit file and yours so take a deep breath.

You know you have made a mistake but you cant undo this now

all you can do is start to put it right.

First thing you will have to tell your husband, he will find out its best coming from you.

Next thing dont phone them yet, if I were you I would sit down and think,

remember if you can the date he moved out and back in.

If he stayed with family, you can get a letter from them to support this....

People do move and dont inform anyone so this is common...

We see it everyday;

Next step CAB or Welfare rights they will help you, they are good.

You will not go to prison, not by a long mile so stop worrying there.

When you remember all your facts, be honest with them, it will help your case.

After seeing cab ring them.....

Why dont you want to make a joint claim, if you are entilted then please apply,

they may assess you as a couple and you may be entitled and they can take the OP out of this new award...

Again chill, think, dont panic and just be honest...

Its can be put right

 

They will investigate and it could take some time

 

But you will have tell your husband............

I am sure he will not leave you surely he must have noticed the extra money

I hate to say it but my experience with these people is they will always investigate as far back as they can,they will always try to recover the money,dont worry about going to prison,the chance of that happening is astronomical,they will do a big investigation and they will want the overpayment back

No he never noticed any extra money. In all the time we have been together I have dealt with the money.

 

I am terrified he may be dragged into this though, is that possible? What if he lost his job because of me :(

Hello and welcome to CAG. I think you should slow down a bit and stop jumping to conclusions. I don't see why your OH would lose his job?

 

I think you should tell the truth, because if it comes out later, it will look bad for you.

 

I'll move your thread to the HMRC forum, where tax credit problems are dealt with.

 

My best, HB

your payments will stop, the case will be investigated to determine when they believe the overpayment due to nonreported change of circumstances began, an amount will be calculated that you have been overpaid, and this will either or both be handed over to debt collectors, and the fraud prosecution side.

 

Not engaging with the process is almost the worst thing you can do, as it leaves them open to make decisions which you may not later be able to effectively challenge as you are out of time to lodge an appeal.

 

See CAB, and tell your husband.....

What is likely to happen to me?

 

Will it be made public? Don't care about me but my poor family are innocent.

 

I can actually now understand how these things drive people to suicide.

Cat2212, as it stands, my understanding is that the HMRC are less trigger happy when it comes to prosecution than the DWP. This should be evident from the post that Mikey linked to. On that post, it does state that there are two 'wings' for dealing with suspected fraud, a civil and a criminal one. If you want to fall under the former, then the best thing that you can do is get in touch with them and lay down what has happened over the last three year and why, and be straight up about it, expressing a desire to repay the money that you are due them.

 

I think you should seek professional advice about this- a CAB volunteer told me they see tax credits overpayments all the time. I would personally try to speak to them or to Welfare Rights if you have them in your area.

Sat in cab just now. Admitted everything and he is now away getting advice from his manager.

 

He does not seem to know much about this, can't be many lying cheats in my area :(
