    • HI DX Yes check it every month , after I reinstated the second DD I was checking every week. Also checked my bank statements and each payment has cleared. When responding to the court claim does it need to be in spefic terms ? Or laid out in a certain format? Or is it just a case of putting down in writing how I have expained it on CAG?

    • You have of course checked the car is now taxed and the £68 is stated against  the same reg?  If the tax for the same car did over lap, then I can't see you having an issue pleading not guilty Dx

    • Afternoon all Looking for advice before I defend claim for car tax payment that the DVLA claim I owe £68 from an idemity claimback from my bank and unpaid tax  brief outline. Purchased car Jan 30th ,garage paid the tax for me after I gave them my card details  first payment £68 out in Feb 24  followed by payment of £31 from March due to end Jan 24 Checked one of my vehicle apps and about 7-10 days later car showing as untaxed? No reason why but it looks like DVLA cancelled it , this could be because I did not have the V5 and the gargae paid on my behalf but not sure did not receive a letter to say car was untaxed.  Fair enough I set up the tax again staight away in Feb 24  and first payment out Mar 31st , and each payment since has come out each month for £31 , this will end Feb/Mar 2025, slightly longer than the original tax set up, all good. I then claimed the £68 back from my bank as an indemity refund as obviously I had paid but DVLA had cancelled therefore it was a payment for nothing?  Last week recieved a SJP form dated 29th May stating that DVLA were claiming for unpaid tax and a false indemity claimback which of course is the £68. It also stated that I had received two previous letters offering me the oppotunity to pay that £68 but as I had not responded it was now a court claim that I must admit guilt for or defend. My post is held for weeks at a time from Royal Mail ( keepsafe) due to me receiving hospital tretament at weeks at a time that said I did not receive any previous letters from DVLA. I am happy to defend this and go to court but wondering what CAG members think? In summary I paid an initial amount of £68 and then a DD of £31 , tax cancelled  I set up a new DD at £31 a month all in the month of Feb 2024, I claimed the £68 back from my bank. DD has been coming out each month without issue and I have paperwork to show the breakdown for both DD setup's plus bank statements showing the payments coming out . The second DD set up has extended payments up to Feb/Mar 2025. DVLA claiming the £68 was ilegally claimed back despite the fact they cancelled the original DD for reasons unknown. Is this defendable ? I will post up documents including the original DD conformations

    • 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.

I will double check his paperwork but pretty sure I am right with the dates.

 

i think he is out of time to submit a response. the hearing is on Wednesday, he received their disclosure on Friday.

 

he obviously sat on their application for some considerable time, i wish he had come to me before he even sent the POC in, always had great advice on here from you guys.

Not out of time.....is this a telephone hearing or actual court attendance ? You can submit a statement in response not less than 3 days.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes Email the court and Defendant..then post/hand deliver hard copies also. Find the county courts email address from the paperwork and in the address bar mark the Claimant V Defendant names claim number and heading Hearing to determine change of track.

 

There is no fee

 

The response must be formatted as a witness statement and concluded with a statement of truth and dated.

Hey @Andyorch, my friend sent the witness statement in based on what I messaged you after I made a few amendments.  Within an hour their solicitor emailed him and the court back and withdraw their application for fast track.

Yes, im not sure what point in the witness statement I wrote for him made them change their mind, but they did.

Maybe they will come back with a settlement offer.

The court would have rejected it anyway......their application contained no justifiable reason...apart from allowing them cart blanche on their costs,

So perhaps their only chance was of gaining it was from  no response from the claimant to the application

Ok, so he made himself available for the phone  meeting today which he was called.  The defendants "legal manager" was there also who confirmed they were withdrawing their application.

However, he did say they were intending on making an application for something else, but didn't say what, so not sure what that will be?

Hi @Andyorch, so he recieved a letter from their legal manager today, see attached.  What are your thoughts and is it relevant that they haven't used "Without Prejudice" on it?

It does not need to be marked as such as its your friends request for settlement (he should have marked his " Without Prejudice" ...they are simply rejecting and counter offering £1000.00. The fact they have not marked theirs as their offer off is with regards to their alleged costs which is simply laughable as that is yet to be determined and still not an admittance to any liability of the claim.

And thinking about the Strike out application, it comes straight after their derisory £1k off to settle, maybe they thought using a strike out was a good tool to get them to accept the offer?

Hi @Andyorch, attached is the full document, I have messaged him and asked if there was also a N244

App4Strike.pdf 

 

Funny how one minute the case is so complicated that it needs to go to fast track and now its so simple that its obvious it should be struck out.
