    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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,

 

Just to update the forum, I have been making all payments on time since January 2019. This includes contractual monthly payment plus £500 towards the arrears. 

 

As I have paid 6 months payments on time, can I ask BM to capitalise the arrears? Last week I received phone call from BM to discuss my account but i asked them to send me in writing. 

 

Can you guys please advice whether I should request BM to capitalise the arrears as currently mortgage is showing in arrears on my credit report file. I am looking to remortgage 12 months after all payments appear on time on credit report.

 

Thanks.

Usually you can only do this on first mortgage arrears, and usually only if the value of your home is a lot more than the mortgage. The amount you owe in arrears is added to your total mortgage.(Capital) Obviously your monthly payments will go up and repayment of the arrears are therefore spread over the rest of the term of your mortgage.
 

BM may be more likely to agree to capitalise the arrears if you have already kept to a repayment agreement for some months....which you have...and BM will usually view capitalising the arrears as a last resort option.

Thanks Andy. The loan on the property is about the 50% of the property value, so lot of equity. 

 

is there any harm in writing to BM to request capitalising the interest or you suggest to wait few more months? Can anyone help with the letter template?

 

Thanks.

Hi Ell-enn,

 

no they didn't apply for eviction.

They applied for extension to the reposession order that was granted in 2009.

They asked for the remaining term on the mortgage but court only granted 12 months starting from January 2019.

 

Since January this year I have been making regular payments.

They didn't agree on payments towards arrears but since i have made payments for last 6 months I want the arrears to be capitalised.

 

They in the past capitalised arrears.

Last time was about 3 or 4 years ago. 

 

I don't want to call them but email if you suggest no harm in trying.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

I made all payments on time since January this year.

August payment was due on 27th August but due to delay in payments from my client I couldn't pay on 27th August. 

I made the late payment on 6th September.

So few days late.

 

Today I received letter from Birmingham midshire dated 2nd September.

This was before I made payment.

Letter says I missed the August payment and there are arrears so I need to contact them and bring account up to date to avoid repossession as they have repossession order.

 

Arrears are about £13k. I am not in position to clear these arrears but I can keep paying normal monthly payment. 

 

I already paid August payment but few days late.

I don't want to call them to get trapped by them over the phone. 

 

Please advise if I really need to contact them or just keep paying normal monthly payments although there are arrears.

 

I have been paying regularly now for 8 months.

Can I request them to add arrears to capital??

 

Please advise if I should contact them regarding the letter or just keep paying the monthly payments?

you should never ring nor email

write using 2nd class mail.

 

typically once 6mts of required payments are made successfully most lender allow capitalisation.

 

did you ever SAR them

and see how much of this debt is unlawful penalty fees??

Hi, thank you for your reply. 

 

I haven't asked for SAR but will request. 

 

I am going to write them and request to capitalize arrears. I am worried that because of late payment in August by 10 days they will refuse my request and demand full payment of arrears. 

 

Kind regards,

Hi, I wrote to Birmingham midshire 2 weeks ago to request adding arrears to mortgage balance, I included income and expenditure with my request and sent through recorded delivery. 

 

I am very disappointed to see the attached letter from them this morning.  They have completely ignored my request and income and expenditure. Asking me to call them. 

 

Any suggestions please,  I am looking to remortgage next year and really want to be arrears free.

 

Please advise what should be my next step. 

 

Thanks

Hi, 

 

I have received another letter attached. As I mentioned in my previous post I sent recorded delivery letter to them requesting to add arrears to mortgage balance.  They ignored that letter,  sent me letter to request call them, I ignored that letter,  now they have involved this agency. 

 

I don't want to discuss over the phone as one of reasons I am in arrears is because how my calls were handled over the phone. 

 

Please advise shall I send them another letter or contact this agency to discuss?

 

 

If I don't contact them now they will have reason to take me to court that there are arrears and no repayment plan is in place.

Thank you. I didn't know but will use pdf in future. 

 

Are you telling me if I wish to write I can say to BM that  don't accept invitation by agents as I will end up paying £100?

 

Am I look legally bound to contact them on phone? How can they. Ppl persuade me to call them over the phone?

 

If I keep ignoring their request to contact them on phone can they take me to court for outstanding arrears with no payment plan in ppl place?

Hi,

 

I wrote to Birmingham Midshire few times and enclosing income and expenditure but no response from them. I complained and received the attached letter upholding my complaint and offered £50.

 

Also mentioned that they can't capitalize arrears because no payment in August and asking me to call them. August payment wasn't missed but Late by 10 or 12 days.

 

Now I have received letters from their solicitor and Birmingham midshire that I need to either pay arrears in full or contact them by phone to agree on repayment of arrears or they will apply to court for eviction date.

 

I am very distressed as I have been paying monthly payments since January and kept writing to them but because of last year's arrears they are applying for eviction date. 

 

I don't want them to apply for eviction date but if I call them their staff will again not positively deal with my account over the phone. 

 

Do I  have any options at this stage?

 

I have attached copy of letters. 

 

Please help as I need to call them tomorrow.

Very unfair

Write ba k to him

 

Tell him you do not consider the complaint closed

 

BMS have failed to research my payment history correctly

Aug 19 was met but late because xxxx

I do not believe the refusal of no cap is fair.

 

There is no legal requirement for me to discuss anything by phone and i have been very intimate d by your companies previous treatment toward myself over the phone.

 

I will only communicate by writing

Thank you, I  will reply to the complaints team but the eviction team and their solicitors will continue with their application for eviction date. 

 

I am worried that if I don't call the eviction team I will lose the opportunity to stop eviction before it goes to court. I don't want to challenge the eviction after court order.
