    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

I went to re-tax car after 12 months tax was due to expire,

only to be told that although tax had been purchased on 25th October 2015,

that they had back-dated this to the beginning of October.

Not very pleased about this since I have effectively lost almost a month of tax!

 

 

However DVLA clearly don't care, and I imagine they make a lot of money off this discrepancy when a car changes hands.

 

 

luckily we had not been stopped during those 24 days that I thought we were covered.

 

 

When I rang the DVLA though,

it turns out that the reason they had not sent any reminders at the right time,

and that I had been left to remember the date myself,

was that they had not received the new keeper supplement from us via the post,

and therefore did not have our details as the new keepers.

 

 

They had apparently been informed that the car had been sold by the previous owner at the time.

We had given the old owner our details of course,

but this information at least is not on DVLA database relating to our car.

 

I was wondering though since we did send it a while back,

are there any penalties for this should we get stopped by the police in the meantime?

 

 

I did at some point phone the DVLA about the new log book, but back then they said that sometimes it takes a while to process, so ultimately I let it be and did not chase it again.

 

I am really not happy that the DVLA have washed their hands of the matter and simply say that we will need to get another form and pay an extra £25 since they or Royal Snail have lost the original form.

 

 

Is there any comeback on this, or would I need to have proof of posting or 'signed for' proof to qualify for any redress?

 

Also out of interest since it didn't happen to us, if we had been stopped during those 24 days of backdating, would there have been any way to avoid a fine/car getting impounded etc?

 

 

I have looked carefully at all the email and online notices of vehicle tax/proof of payment that I made copies of at the time , and it at no point says that it was only taxed from the beginning of the month!

 

 

It clearly says 12 months tax from 25/10/15.

 

Thanks

It seems that mail addressed to dvla is carefully selected by royal mail and burnt, unless is recorded delivery.

Hundred of cases on many forums online.

Unfortunately they have power to say that they never received the v5, so your only option is to pay the £25 and register the car in your name (send everything recorded delivery, well worth spending a couple of pounds to avoid more trouble).

So I sent them my bit of the form too (which it sounds like I shouldn't have needed to), but kept a photocopy, and they obviously got the original form sent by the old owner since they took him off their records. It seems though that they did not put my details on their computer - clearly it didn't get lost in post at all, and is probably some sort of clerical error, but I still have no way around this extra 25 quid?

Unfortunately not, only if you had kept the New Keeper Supplement and attached it to the V62 application form. It may also take about six weeks for them to send your V5C if they make enquiries of the old keeper.

Well I am not surprised, just annoyed that they can do this when it's obviously their fault in the first place.

 

Do you (or anyone else here) know what could happen if in the meantime I get stopped by the police when the vehicle is not registered in my name? Is it enough to say that the log book and my new keeper bit of the form were sent? I did also phone them many months ago to chase it, but at that point it was still within their usual processing times, so they told me just to wait.

You need to apply for the V5C using form V62.

 

 

The instructions on the New Keeper Supplement are that it is to be kept by the new keeper and not sent to the DVLA, unless the new V5C is not received within 4 weeks, and then to apply for it free with the supplement and the form V62. As you don't have the supplement, it will cost £25.

 

 

One thing to check when you do receive your V5C is that they have not cancelled the vehicle licence and refunded the previous registered keeper.
