    • Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

    • As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • 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.

there you go..thanks andy..

 

 

The following defence is all you need if it is SB

 

1 The Claimant's claim was issued on (insert date).

2 The Defendant contends that the Claimant's claim so issued is a claim in contract and is statute barred pursuant to the provisions of section 5 of the limitation act 1980.

 

If, which is denied, the claimant contends that the Defendant is in breach of the alleged contract, the default date being March 2010, in excess of 6 years have elapsed since the date on which any cause of action for breach accrued for the benefit of the Claimant.

 

3 The Claimant's claim to be entitled to payment of £[insert figure from their POC] or any other sum, or relief of any kind is denied.

Hello,

 

Update on my case. Following submission of defence based on SB, I have received Directions Questionnaire.

 

Speaking to Court, the Claimant has given no response to the defence and has asked to continue to the next stage of the claim process. Also I have not received any response to my CPR and SAR requests.

 

Question is can they ask to continue to next stage while they haven't responded to my defence, replied to my CPR and SAR? Can I ask the Court to halt proceedings until I am furnished with these?

 

Please advise.

Thanks. I did CPR to Cohen and SAR to Nationwide. No replies to date.

 

I shall fill out the DQ.

 

Can I still ask the Court (as part of DQ or a on separate letter) to halt proceedings and not give a date for hearing until I get all the requested information?

No....the DQ is to allocate and transfer the claim to your local county court.......disclosure comes after allocation.

Hello,

 

I have received a copy of the claimants DQ and a letter stating they have filed it with court. They said they have opted for TELEPHONE Mediation service and that their client will accept any reasonable offer.

 

And in their submitted DQ under section D3 (number of witnesses including yourself giving evidence at hearing) they have said "NONE".

 

Does this mean that no one from the Claimant or their Solicitor would be attending the hearing (as and when it goes to hearing)?

 

Thanks

Lowell always seem to struggle with D3 as did their predecessor Brian Carter..it either means no attendance or they will attend...as they dont seem to understand the question on the DQ

 

How many witnesses, including yourself, will give evidence on your

behalf at the hearing? Should be 1 if they have submitted a witness Statement.

Hello,

 

An update. I didn't receive any response from Nationwide to my SAR request with the £10 fee, although it has been almost 100 days.

 

Now I am not waiting for it, however I received a letter from Lowell thanking for the £10 payment. This is absolutely not true as I didn't make any payment.

 

Can it be the case that Nationwide had simply forwarded my SAR request to the new debt owner and Lowell have simply ignored the request and intentionally applied the £10 SAR fee to the account?

 

Or is it a complete phantom payment put on the account?

 

Please advise

Respond with a letter to Lowell and inform them that that payment was sent to Nationwide with your request for a Data Subject Access Request..ask that they either return the payment back to Nationwide or to yourself and that under no circumstances must it be credited to the assigned account.

 

Failure to comply will leave you no alternative but to bring this to the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) attention and ask why the Data Controller is disregarding a legal request and why payment is being misappropriated.

 

Copy to Nationwide

Thanks Andy. I have sent letter to Lowell and await their response.

 

In the mean time I would like to start drafting my witness statement for use as and when I get the court notification for hearing.

 

Could you please provide any examples or template which I could use.

 

Thanks.
