    • 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 everyone,

I have received a " CHECK YOUR TAX CREDITS NOW" letter from HMRC.

 

I stopped claiming tax credits back in (I think!) April  2018. 

They have sent me this letter which mentions an overpayment pf £4324.46

Although I believe there may have been a slight overpayment (possibly between jan 2018 and march 2018), I'm sure it is somewhere in the £1500 region.

How can I get more info on this, particularly details about when they believe the overpayment started?

 

They have mentioned that "if you want to dispute recovery of the overpayment of £4324.46 for the year 2018-2019" i should contact them as soon as possible, and that I have until 01/11/19 to dispute recovery.

 

I dont understand how there can be an overpayment for a tax year (2018-2019) during which I have not been paid any tax credits!

 

Also, they have my weekly childcare costs as £5 which is incorrect since I have been paying close to £400 every month. 

 

If I report the change in childcare costs, will this increase my child tax credit award? Will it have any effect at all?

As dx has suggested, request a subject access request on the HMRC website, to get hold of your records.

 

Also register a formal dispute with HMRC in writing. There may be a way of doing this on the HMRC website. Ask for a breakdown calculation of the amount they have stated.

 

Once you know the basis of the HMRC calculation, you can then go back to them with details that are wrong or have not been considered.

 

 

We could do with some help from you.

 So are you still getting tax credits, because your last questions reads that you are, but your earlier part of the post, states that you aren't?

 

If you aren't getting them, why would you need to declare a change in your childcare costs?

They were probably taking a small amount off your award to repay your 'overpayment' without you even realising.  It's only when your awards stop, when a dreaded turd brown envelope drops through your letterbox with some random insane debt.

 

So the SAR is the most important thing.  It took me about 2 minutes to find a phone call that had been made up, and my Salary had been inflated by them also.

I am not receiving tax credits.

 

The information they have for childcare costs is incorrect.

By a large amount.

Is this not something that I should rectify?

 

Okay. I have requested the SAR.

Hopefully I can find something in it that would explain how they have got this humongous sum! 

 

I will also check back on bank statements and calculate exactly how much I have been paid by them..... wondering if I need an FA for this.

 

Disputing this is going to be difficult as I have not kept a record of dates and times that I have been contacted by HMRC or I have contacted them. :-(


The TC846 form on the gov.uk website asks for dates on every single point and details.

I'm unsure as to what I need to include in these fields.....

Hmm. Looks like HMRC are going the way of Eon. They've sent a letter in the post asking for "more information and identification"; basically, a letter that asks me to sign that I am, indeed, requesting this info!

Hi 

 

I missed one of your earlier posts.  Call them, let them know about your childcare costs, they may ask for receipts, so be prepared.

 

Also make sure they have your correct current income too.  They are notorious for having the wrong information.  

 

It may well be that the childcare changes everything.

We could do with some help from you.

Have you had a detailed look through the SAR that you asked for?

 

You are looking out for, things like.

 

Them having your income wrong, Conversations that never happened etc.

 

Also you will be able to see what they think your childcare costs are. On that basis it may well be that you can prove otherwise and probably get most of the debt wiped off.

 

You will be wasting your money on Tax accountants, there is nothing that you can't do yourself.

Just because you have requested an SAR will not stop them sending out ridiculous automated letters asking for payment.
