    • Hi Schipoo and thank you for the update.   Excellent news for you and a huge relief, I imagine. You might like to start a new thread about Independent Tax if you want advice on that problem. HB
    • 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.

Actually, I did send this recorded delivery about a week after I recieved the intention to defend, hence why I thought/hoped they would have just paid up sooner!

 

Oh well, no doubt I will hear something in the next few days, but not actually sure what I will do if I don't hear anything by the deadline??????

 

Thanks for your advice tho!

Anyone heard anything yet, my mcol is up on 19th, barbara got a full offer 2 days before the 28 days are up. I don't understand, there doesn't seem to be any consistency, some are getting full offers, some part offers and some going to AQ stage, by the way does anyone know once it gets to Aq stage how long it takes then, and am I right in thinking if I haven't heard anything by Tuesday I automaticall win?

lynseylou and claire w,

when the 28 + 5 days to serve it, so 33 days of the mcol are up, if they still have not defended - then you could press the judgment button. chances are, dg will defend within the last possible moments and you won't be able to press for judgment. if you could press it, then yes, in theory you will have won and you can ask the court to get your money for you. the reality is, they will defend. and when your mcol tells you that you can't move forward because they have defended then: within a couple of days you will receive a notice from the court moving to probably your local court, also, you will receive a copy of their defense, also, you will receive your allocation questionaire (aq), ON THE AQ, THERE WILL BE A DEADLINE ABOUT 2 WEEKS DOWN THE LINE, take note as this is the new deadline you will be working towards. just read in the step by steps about aq's and how to fill them out but my advice is don't send it off (or hand deliver) until much nearer the deadline.

the actual purpose of the aq is for the court to decide which track (probably small claims) of the court to send the claim through. in reality - it is just another time period for you to try to get the claim wrapped up before moving into the next phase.

does that clear it up for you two?

by the way , besides babs full offer yesterday, skinch and stall both got 100% offers today. so they must be in holiday mood at dg.

Hi, I have trawled through the postings to determine if anybody else has had an experience similar to mine, but have yet to find such a person. Please advise, if you can, on my particular scenario with HSBC:

 

Letter received on 21/11/06 from DG Solicitors informing of intention to repay full charges, without prejudice.

 

Letter received on 24/11/06 informing me that my account has been credited with full amount. This was not what I requested in my claim, I specifically requested payment to be made in the form of a personal cheque.

 

A variety of telephone calls to DG Solicitors and HSBC resulted in a personal cheque being issued on Monday 11/12/06, which was paid into my Nat West account on Tuesday 12/12/06.

 

Friday 15/12/06, I received a letter from County Court, advising that the time for my defendants to file their defences has now elapsed. I was sent an allocation questionnaire to complete, requesting a further fee of £100, to be completed by 02/01/07.

 

This morning, Saturday 16/12/06, Nat West informed me that HSBC have instructed them not to honour the cheque! As it is Saturday, I cannot contact either HSBC or DG solicitors to determine why.

 

So, from 21/11/06 to present, I am no further on in retrieving my money. My family and I were heavily dependent upon such money to fund Christmas for our three children.

 

It looks like I will be the test case, which I am more than happy to take on. Has anybody else had a similar experience of a cheque being issued, and then withdrawn? Can anybody else please advise?

The funds deposited were due to be cleared at the close of trading Friday. Nat West informed me this morning (saturday) that the cheque (and subsequent funds) were returned to HSBC via the Nat West fraud department, on the advice of HSBC. So I am back to square one and will need to pursue through courts once again. In a perverse way, I would love to take my case to Court and be responsible for opening the floodgates!

 

Any one else experiencing similar?

stop, hold the panic. i think, although i've no basis for this, just throwing this out there - i think they are reacting to the possibility of paying it twice - sort of left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. you got it into an account - their error -you wanted a cheque, so, at this point when you were talking to them - what happened to the money they had put into your account?

 

leave the a.q. and all talk of further action to the side for the moment -

i think you are sorted - it's a misunderstanding of where the money went.

 

so, if we are to sort it out logically - what happened to the money in the account.

 

i think perhaps you won't be able to sort this with hsbc today - although you could try one of the 800 numbers - i think you need to lay it out - then send your summary to dg, e-mail it to them as well and then call them first thing monday a.m. i think it will get sorted.

 

did you move the money in your account, did they take it back or is it still there?

you won't be a test case.

Thanks for all who took the time to post response. I feel a little easier now. lateralus, I think that you might be correct in your assumption that they are possibly reacting to paying the money twice. As for money in the account, I have no way of knowing what has happened to it - I have not used the account for years and have since forgotten passwords etc for on line banking to check. Will create a new thread. Many thanks.
