    • Thanks dx and jk.   I'll just ignore them. I did check the advice given in other threads but wanted to be sure that was still relevant to my situation.  Thanks again. Appreciate the support 
    • I've been on this site for eight years and I haven't seen one PPC case where a DCA turned up at the motorist's door. Even if they did they couldn't do anything, but in any case it's never happened. If you read this short thread you will see all the stages of the legal procedure all the way to winning in court, which is highly unlikely to be necessary in your case  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/406892-highview-parking-anpr-pcn-claimform-urban-exchange-manchester-claim-dismissed/#comments
    • They upped the quote by £120 in the end, forcing me to go elsewhee
    • thanks I’ve not used this website before haha is the DCA the furthest they’d take this case? didn’t know if there’s a step up as they are affiliated with the FA. im clueless with this sorts of stuff so as expected it concerns me and would your simple advice be to simply ignore even though we’ve had a physical lettter through from soccersixes themselves 
    • a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's type. moved to the gyms/Health clubs forum. not sure where you get the idea that any ole debt passed to a DCA gives them some magically power to make it appear on credit files..

    • 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.

HMRC asking for rebate back - Fast Tax Rebates Ltd scam again


Mickla

Recommended Posts

Interesting Posts, I am a Debt Advisor with Citizens Advice and I have recently been contacted by someone who was told by a friend to contact Fast Tax Rebates and claim for 'his uniform and the laundry of it' as he had done it and got money back.

 

Similar to others on here they promised him money, got access to his Government Gateway, had photocopies of his Full Passport and got him to apply for a UTR (never been self employed works in telesales).

 

He then received £1900 from FTR,and has now received a demand from HMRC for nearly £8000.  He never knew anything about EIS and cannot get hold of FTR for love nor money

Our client wasn't aware of any EIS and does not know which one was put on but I have asked him for any further docs he may have.

 

Our advice would be pretty much as you have explained previously on others in reporting this has a scam to action fraud an lodging a claim against the company and speaking to HMRC to advise of his situation and ask for time to pay, but similarly to one of the other posts (Dixon) I think, he's local paper would be Blackpool Gazette, so I think the 'referrer friend' could be the same person

It Certainly would be Honey Bee and we will be referring him to out Consumer Group to advise him further and they will most likely forward details onto Trading Standards
