    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 Brad,

 

Read through the threads for Dixon and for Schipoo as they're both ahead of your case.

 

You should find good pointers in the threads but ask here if you're still unsure of what to do next.

 

Do you have copies all all exchanges (texts or emails) between you and FTR ?

Hi Schipoo,

 

I have already raised the points I think are relevant so I'll suggest a reply for you to send to HMRC tomorrow, 8th November.

 

If you have any points you think are relevant, post them here so I can consider them for inclusion.

Hi Schipoo, Go through this carefully and ensure you agree with what I suggest, or amend it as necessary.

 

Dear [sir or madam],

 

I refer to your letter of 11th October and must raise the following points in response :-

 

1.     Under your heading Travel and Subsistence you say, “Without providing such information to your agent, I cannot see how it would be a reasonable expectation for you to conclude that any expense claims made on your behalf could be accurate.”

 

I used a tax specialist and assumed they knew what they were doing. You have seen the communications - I was told very little about what allowances were being claimed and had no reason to question what was being done.

 

2.     Under your heading Authorisation you say I engaged the agent, provided documents and information and accepted money from them. But it does not follow that I was happy with the arrangements – the simple truth is that I was told nothing about the refunds I received so had no idea of the amounts repaid by HMRC, or paid to me.

 

2.     Furthermore, under your heading Amount to be repaid you say, “You have been misled by the agent you engaged but did receive the agreed proportion of the repayment.”

 

This is wrong - I was not told about the amounts that were being reclaimed by the agent via my HMRC account and knew nothing of the percentages being paid to me.

 

3.     Under your heading The decision – EIS relief disallowed you refer to the relevant legislation, namely Section 157 ITA07 and Section 203 ITA07.

 

Regarding s.157 ITA07, were any share certificates provided by the agent to support the claim – if so, please provide copies to me. No copy was sent to me in response to my DSAR sent to HMRC.

 

Regarding s. 203 ITA07, you summarise saying, “…….  the company is required to submit forms to HMRC and HMRC needs to issue authorisation for compliance certificates to be issued to the investors, which enables any relief to be claimed.”

 

Please confirm if HMRC issued authorisation certificates for the EIS company for which tax relief was given and supply copies of any relevant documents submitted in respect of the relief claimed.

 

4.     If no such certificates were issued to the company or investors, surely HMRC was premature to allow such relief without sight of proof of investment, given the relatively rare nature of EIS relief claims.

 

5.    If the tax returns were submitted to HMRC by myself with no agent involved, why was HMRC so willing to make refunds to a nominated agent - did this not appear strange !

 

I appreciate that some of these points may not technically qualify as reasons to appeal the tax or delay payment thereof to HMRC. However, I feel HMRC are failing to acknowledge that we are both (myself and HMRC) victims of the fraud carried out by Maxwell/FTR Ltd, who used my Self Assessment account for their own purposes and financial gain.

 

Finally, I am most unhappy that your response effectively treats me as a knowing participant in the fraud, yet I see nothing about HMRC taking action against Maxwell/FTR Ltd who I believe are responsible for defrauding perhaps 20 other individuals that I now know of.

 

I continue to try and involve the police in this matter but they seem as unconcerned as HMRC in bringing the true perpetrators to account.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hi,

yes I sent it on Tuesday,

 

however the link they sent me to log it onto didn’t work, I emailed it to my caseworker asking would she forward to correct department, said she couldn’t deal with it and was very awkward with me telling me to try again as that’s how it is submitted.

 

I told her that I had tried 3 times and screenshotted the error message.

She then told me I would have to ring the helpline.

If you haven't already done this, send a printed copy of your letter to :-

 

Solicitor's Office and Legal Services Reviews and Litigation

S1755 NEWCASTLE

NE98 1ZZ

 

Send it 1st Class (if you can, post it at a post office and get a free Certificate of Posting to keep) with a covering letter saying :-

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

I tried to email my reply to you using the link provided but this didn't work and the caseworker I contacted was unable/unwilling to help me at all.

 

I therefore now enclose a copy of my reply which I trust you will consider with regard to my case.

 

Yours faithfully

  • 2 months later...

I have also sent another email today to Northumbria Police urging them to look into this case, see below

 

Hi

 
I am writing again because I have not received a response regarding this matter.
 
I called Northumbria police also and it seems you do not know anything about this case, but this isn’t what we are being told by Action Fraud and the NFIB.
 
There are many many people who have been scammed by this company who are based in Northumbria and this matter needs to be taken seriously.
 
I am at the tribunal stage with HMRC and don’t have much time left before they reach a final decision.
 
This is going to cripple me to repay the money Fast Tax Rebates Ltd have stolen by fraud. 
 
Please would someone come back to me ASAP it is now a matter of urgency.

Hi Schipoo,

 

I've already said this several times to users here - improve your chance of NOT being ignored by visiting the police station in person and making a formal complaint with details about FTR Ltd and the people involved.

 

I'll come back about the letters from the Tribunal over the weekend.

Hi Schipoo,

 

In the 2nd document above from HMCTS, it starts by referring to 3 items attached, namely :-

 

Appeal/Application

Respondant Decision Notice

Supporting Documents

 

I assume the 2nd item is the first PDF posted above but please confirm.

 

If there are any other documents, can you post them up, redacted.

 

I'm not experienced in this appeal tribunal process but we'll do all we can to support you. However, are you prepared to follow guidance, submit documents/replies in the manner we suggest and meet any deadlines. Please confirm.

 

At the risk of repeating myself, any joy yet in visiting the police ? Of all the issues likely to affect your case, I think this is crucial.

Hi

there weren’t any attachments with either of the letters. 
Do I need to confirm back to them that I am happy to communicate via email?

I am happy for any guidance. 
 

Re the police, I’m no further forward. Local police refer to Northumbria Police and them to Action Fraud

Re the police, was this contact in person or by phone ?

 

Yes, you should reply confirming your email addy but I'm thinking also of possibly objecting to them deciding if they'll accept your "late appeal".

 

Bear with me but come back 3 or 4 days BEFORE the 14 day deadline so we don't miss it. I'll seek advice on this.

I will do that this weekend. 
 

the email received today is a result of the letter I sent to the Solicitor's Office and Legal Services Reviews and Litigation on your recommendation.

 

What you suggest my response should be, and should it be the same response I give when replying to the tribunal emails?
