    • Actually there wasn't a massive amount of work to do on the WS.  The "meat" was there because of the great work you'd already done. Here is a version which I think is nigh-on finished. However, with Easter there are a few days for the other regulars to suggest tweaks. Defendant WS.pdf
    • Hi all, We bought a part to fix our washing machine approx 13 months ago direct from the manufacturer of the washing machine via phone. This part then failed 13 months later, as confirmed by their own engineer, who was sent by the manufacturer (who is also the retailer for the part) FoC. The engineer actually installed a replacement part, the machine came back to life, but they then removed the part used for testing (and ours reinstalled) as "we would be charged for it". The retailer are refusing to replace the part, stating that they only warranty parts for 90 days. When I stated that I believed the Consumer Rights Act gives me longer than that, they insinuated that it did not, and this was repeated by many representatives. AIUI for goods bought more than 6 months ago, I need to get an engineers report to confirm the part has failed? Or that it has failed due to manufacturing issues? Or would the companies own engineers report suffice? Also, does anyone have any other decent contact details for Hotpoint (or the Whirlpool group)? Thanks, GH
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.

    • 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.

My wife and I have a joint bank account

 

I have monthly SO’s set up for my grandchildren for regular Pocket money...

I want it to be arranged as payments from me,

although coming from a joint bank account(the contents of which is mainly my monthly pension fund payments).

i.e to be seen as gifts from My income for Hmrc purposes.

 

If I get my wife to write and sign a note/letter for my records,that this is the case(the SO’s are from me and not from jointly or her) would this suffice for HMRC?

If the total value of the gifts to the grandchildren do not exceed £3000 in total each year, there would be no inheritancelink3.gif Tax issues. In addition, if the value of your estate falls below the IHT threshold (currently £325,000), there wouldn't be any tax to pay anyway.

 

From a joint account, with your wife's consent, you could increase the total gifts to £6000 each year by combining both your annual allowances. This link provides some information on the subject: https://www.saga.co.uk/magazine/money/personal-finance/giving/tax-and-gifting-money-to-children

Hi.

 

Is the small gifts allowance of £250pa per person enough to cover what you're doing?

 

I'll check the HMRC website for gifts out of income, but you may need to ring them with your specific question about the joint account. They're very helpful on the phone.

This is what the HMRC website says about gifts from normal income, but I think there may be more to it than this. I wonder if it might help to set up your own bank account so the gifts can be shown to be just from you, but as I said you probably need to check with the Revenue or talk to an accountant.

  • 1 year later...

With the knowledge that £3k can be gifted annually(not from inc.but as annual allowance),..would the following gifts be acceptable by HMRC as gifts from income...Yr.1 Dec, gift is £5k,but want £4k to be regarded as g f i;Yr.2,May,gift is £4k,Yr.3 July,gift is £6k,but want £4k to be regarded as g f i.   My claim would be regular gifts of £4k made each tax year but in different months in that tax year. 
Would HMRC regard these gifts £4k as regular gifts from income?

Hi. I've merged your new thread with an old one about gifts out of income.

 

My understanding is that gifts from income are OK as long as they don't affect your standard of living, but that may not be what you're asking.

 

In terms of the timing, I don't know if anyone here will be able to answer your question but I could be wrong. Did you get round to speaking to a lawyer or accountant about this?

I’m aware that when gifting from income, my normal standard of living should not be affected.

This post is different from previous posts,...and I have not discussed with lawyer/accountant.
