    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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 everyone.

Im new to the forums so not sure where to post this.

 

Got a tv and washer from perfect home nearly 3yrs ago now.

 

In October 2011 my TV stopped working.

 

I went into store told them the problem and was told they would come and collect it to have it repaired.

 

After numerous phone calls to them TV was finally picked up for repair 6 weeks after it stopped working.

 

I then was told I had to carry on paying my account which I did.

 

They finally brought TV back at the end of Jan 2012 to find they had smashed the screen in transit.

They just left it with me saying my problem but they still wanted the payments of me.

 

After numerous arguments and buying another TV I went to FOS.

 

After perfect home was contacted by the FOS they contacted me to offer a replacement.

 

I accepted offer but few months down the line again the TV has stopped working.

I have now refused to pay them another penny for the tv as I went so long without one,

had to buy a new one and now left with another that don't work.

 

I have tryed paying for washer still but they are refusing payments saying they want the full amount.

 

I am getting about 20 calls of them aday +2 home visits all that for 2 week non payment!!!

 

Can anyone give me some advice on this matter I am so stressed out at the moment recently had a baby and suffering with pnd so situation really not helping.

 

Thank you in advance.

you should not be paying for something on HP THAT DOES NOT WORK ..

 

as for the washer, pay what you owe PCW/PCM by your internet banking site

 

they cannot refuse it that way.

 

time t go back to the FOS me thinks.

Thankyou for reply.

 

The only problem if I pay them for washer that way is they have told me any money recieved would be put towards the arrears first including charges

I will get evey week for still been in arrears for the TV.

 

Also the service cover on washer will remain void until the whole account is up to date

but I still have to pay for it every week.

 

The TV is payed off fully in January

 

I just don't really want to pay another £400 plus to them for a broken TV.

 

Im a little wary of them saying they will collect to fix because if it takes as long as last time

they will still be wanting payment for it and when the agreement is over I don't think I will get me TV back.

you REALLY need to read some threads in this forum on perfect homes...

and their antics

PENALY charges are unlawful...get them back reclaim them.

 

your TV and Washer are cover by SOGA.

http://www.oft.gov.uk/business-advice/treating-customers-fairly/sogahome/forcustomers

 

you DONT need ANY extra service cover on either - these are HIRE PURCHASE agreements too.

 

and if you got their 'compulsory' insurance too, get that all back as well.

Spoken to them again yesterday same story want full payment. I explained I am not paying anymore for faulty item but will gladly pay for washer. They told me they need full payment before they can order a repair on tv.

 

Not sure what to do as don't want to pay for broken TV and even if they do repair it I proberly won't see it again. Even if I return it I still have to pay because I didn't take out service cover.

 

They have also started making up lies saying I haven't reported any faults so I have told them not to phone me anymore I want everything in writing.

treat them as a credit card claim on PPI/PENALTY charges.

 

but 2 sep claims

 

one for OSC

 

one for PENALTY charges.

 

This second spreadsheet is a compound interest calculator and can be used both for PPI claims and Charges Reclaims on Revolving Credit Accounts such as credit cards. Compound interest is not an award that foslink3.gif will give in respect of PPI claims but it can be used in PPI cases that are pursued through the courts. It is the standard sheet that is also used for charges reclaims both on credit cards and loan accounts where interest in restitutionlink3.gif is claimed.
