      Caught with Childs 5-10yrs railcard

      By BazzaS · Posted

      I (and other respondents) always advise “not getting caught in a lie” it hardens their response. Why would they now believe protestations of remorse and “I won’t do it again” if they've already seen you'd lie and say it was a one-off when it wasn't..  You can try approaching the prosecutor on the day, but "I wouldn't hold my breath" …..

      I told them that it was an accident and that I used the oyster card as my debit card was lost. However, they did an investigation and realised it was not a one off. I have told them how remorseful I feel and how a criminal conviction would result in expulsion from my degree but they still want to take me to court. I have received the court summons letter

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

I had my partner move in April of this year and been claiming as a single parent. He earns less than me 14,000pa and has been paying the rent on the house.

Had a letter today from HMRC and they want bank statements, bills etc....everything in my name still but just so wish id told them. Feel ashamed of myself .

Hello everyone

 

After much searching online today decided that this would be the best one for advice by non judgemental people.

 

I have been claiming tax credits both working and child tax credits for 6 years as a single parent , which indeed I am.

In April of this year my partner had to leave his rented home and he moved in to mine.

I informed the council and immediately stopped getting the housing benefit and the 25% single person council tax claim.

Im ashamed and very embarrassed to say I did not tell HMRC.

I have now received a letter asking for bank statements, utility bills etc so will clearly see that my partner has been paying me each month an amount which fully covers the rent.

 

My question is, if anyone can tell me , what is likely to happen to me. I feel very angry at myself :evil:

Thankyou for reading

This is a start for you and a good one. 6 years is a very long time to have done this. The amount could be significant and this may be seen as 'so serious' there are a number of options open to HMRC which includes penalties and prosecution in a criminal court.

 

There are a few options for HMRC on how they can recover the overpayment too. If you are called in for an interview under caution (IUC) you should always make a full and frank statement. Depending on the amount the amount of time it will take to recover could be substantial.

 

You could get sanctions and lose the ability to claim benefits in the future too. I will post this up when on a PC...

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

Hi Mikey,

 

Thankyou for your reply, and im sorry if I didnt explain properly.

I was on my own for 6 years ,, but my partner moved in in April this year and I have been wrongly claiming as single since then.

Thanks for the update. When HMRC asked for your statements they may be seeing if you provide a false document, by this I mean the may have already had this information by asking your bank and have it already. Please don't be tempted to do this as it could cause more issues in the future.

April is only eight months ago and still part of the current tax year. Whilst there is probably an overpayment, I wouldn't get worked up about it. At the worst, HMRC will want the overpayment paid back in full but you will be able to negotiate an affordable repayment plan.
