    • 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?
    • Come and engage with homelessness   Museum of Homelessness MUSEUMOFHOMELESSNESS.ORG The award-winning Museum of Homelessness (MoH) was founded in 2015 and is run by people with direct experience of homelessness. A very different approach. If you're in London you should go and see them
    • 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.

She informed me that they don't send anything by post and everything is done via email - and that they couldn't resend that information as I should have "already received it".

 

I've been looking through my emails and the first email I received as soon as I hit submit on the site was the TOCs. Funnily enough this is what's stated:

 

9.2 Any notice or demand we give will be assumed to have been properly given if served on you personally, or left or sent by prepaid envelope addressed to you at your current address or last known business or private address. If sent by first class post it will be assumed to have been received by you 48 hours after posting.

 

Really? Wow... and I thought they done everything by email including default notices!

It still has a questionnaire I need to fill out and return by the 8th April. Is this normal? Questions basically ask if I want mediation, I am happy with the SC track and do I have a preference as to which court it is held at.

Sorry Andy, there's two sheets. The defence confirmation is a N152 and there is a N149 questionnaire attached.

 

How long should I be waiting for them to serve their form? Do they send it directly to me?

 

Thanks again. Much appreciated

They may not serve a copy on you (they should but not mandatory) If you have not received theirs by say - 4 days to submission of yours then you will have to complete it without sight....and dont serve a copy of yours on them just file yours with the court.

 

What date must it be submitted by?

Not really....... try not to use the AQ as a further defence its purely for allocation purposes only.Two things to watch I advise you always select settlement..this is encouraged by the Court and in G you can state anything additional that may assist in the allocation.

Morning Andy! Thanks. Which section of the form relates to a settlement? I was thinking of making them an offer at this point via a letter. Is this something that can be done.

 

Do I need to request any documents via the aq in relation to my specific case?

Morning Andy! Thanks. Which section of the form relates to a settlement? The very first Question (A) I was thinking of making them an offer at this point via a letter. Is this something that can be done.Not with the AQ you simply tick A and the court will stay the matter for mediation....then you can then discuss offers

 

Do I need to request any documents via the aq in relation to my specific case? Did you not complete a CPR 31.14 as advised early in your thread?

Cheers

Thanks Andy.

 

I have not requested any documents via CPR 31.14 as there was nothing specific mentioned in the POC as per your advice

 

]2) Should I have issued a CPR request for any information (non were mentioned in the POC)? Then there is nothing to request vis a CPR 31.14

A yes quite right ok in G write something similar to this :- Edit to suit

 

'The Particulars of Claim provided by the Claimant are inadequate in order to fully appreciate the case I have to meet, in particular the agreement relied upon, the date on which it was made, the terms thereof and whether regulated and if so by what statutory provision, the means by which it was terminated, the manner by which the claim is calculated, and the Claimant's entitlement to interest.

 

1.Unless the Claimant file and served upon the Defendant fully particularised Particulars of Claim comprising but not limited to particulars of the agreement relied upon, the date on which it was made, the terms thereof and whether regulated and if so by what statutory provision, the means by which it was terminated, the manner by which the claim is calculated,and the Claimant's entitlement to interest, the claim shall stand struck out.

 

2 In the event of compliance with paragraph 1 of this order this case shall be allocated to the small claims track and there shall be a stay of proceedings until for 1 month to enable the parties to settle using the small claims mediation service.

Hi Andy,

 

Hope you are well. Just working on my section G for my AQ as we speak. I have a couple of questions which I hope you don't mind answering.

 

1) I know there is no mention to any documents in the POC, and as such no CPR request was issued. Should I be requesting documents using a Draft Order for Directions, or does the section G you wrote above cover this? Will they have to provide me copies of the documents that they will be relying on before taking this to mediation?

 

2) Should I make any reference to changing my defence if they provide a a revised POC, and will I have a chance to change this before the hearing if they decide against mediation?

 

Thanks

Good Morning Lancer

 

OK the N149 does not facilitate the option of draft directions...this being small claims track..so you can only suggest withing G that the disclosure of documents would assist the process of claim and hope the DJ agrees and issues said direction.

 

You can raise the matter of disclosue within mediation but they are not compelled to respond.

 

If they wish to amend their particulars they would require court permission and yours so if that happened you would be allowed to submit a particularsed defence...but by reply because of their action so no you dont need to refer to this as this time.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Thanks for the info Andy. I've now submitted by N149 and sent a copy to the Claimant.

 

Received nothing from them though :x No surprise there...

 

I want to try and bring this to an end sooner, rather than later. I am looking at making them an offer before mediation to see if they will accept. Should I use the standard template letter for a F&F within the CAG Library? I have been reading around this a bit, but the only thing I can seem to find is in relation to part 36. Is this the way to go, or can I use a standard letter template?

 

Thanks

Part 36 is not really applicable to small claims and irrelevant to your current position.Any offer can be made verbally or in writing without prejudice...I personally would not advocate making a F&FS at this stage.
