    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke
    • Thank you both for your expert knowledge and understanding. You're fighting the good fight by standing up for people like me and others with limited knowledge of this stuff. I thank you. I know all my DVLA details are good. I recently (last year) renewed my license, and my car's V5 is current with the correct details; the same is valid for my partner. I'll continue to ignore the love letters 😂 and won't let it bother either me or my partner.  I'll revisit this post if/when I get a letter of claim.  F**k ém.

    • 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.

Top US magazine slams Britain after 14 years of Tory ‘psychodrama’

The New Yorker’s excoriating report on the state of the UK lays bare how Britain’s withdrawal from the European Union (EU) “catalysed some of the worst tendencies in British politics”.

“The only way to think about it is as a psychodrama enacted, for the most part, by a small group of middle-aged men who went to élite private schools, studied at the University of Oxford, and have been climbing and chucking one another off the ladder of British public life"

I see the poops are still trying to deflect from their own criminality and and abuses by whinging on about raynors buying her council house - now about election registration

- anyone who owns a flat or house understands that you dont give up your and your childrens home just because of a new relationship

and while we are on about that ..

 

lets start with

When is jenrick being revisited for both lockdown abuses and self admitted (claims estate is his main home - not the property in his electorate or his london property) 'possible (lol) electoral registration abuses as he claimed he was at his estate 'main home' away from both London and his electoral 'home'  - much of which paid for by the taxpayer

 

 
WWW.MIRROR.CO.UK

Key Cabinet Minister Robert Jenrick drove 150 miles to his 'second home' after urging the nation to remain in their homes in a bid to...

 

... perhaps follow with more self admitted lobbying while in a potion where they shouldn't

“A few of us in parliament have lobbied the government – and with the help of the Treasury select committee, the chancellor has listened,” John Baron wrote.

 

WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM

Co-owner of investment management firm called for ‘urgent’ post-Brexit changes to City rules at committee meetings

You could also ask about Jeremy Hunt and the multiple flats purchase he didn't declare properly. Or Lord Ashcroft about how much tax he saved while he was a non-dom.

According to Private Eye, in Ashcroft's book he says Rayner avoided paying £3,500 to HMRC. Meanwhile he's estimated to have saved £112m by being a non-dom between 2000 and 2010.

too true HB, but those two I referred for starters - appear to be self admitted -

One to excuse other lockdown law breaking, by claiming his estate away from his consistency and London abode was his main home

the other if he claims to have 'not told the truth' in his own words via that quote - to have mislead his investors rather than broken lobbying rules

 

- seem to be slam dunks - pick which was your law breaking - it seems to be both and much more besides in Jenricks case

Starmer was director of public prosecutions yet the tories are using seemingly baseless allegations for propaganda and starmer is missing pressing apparent blatant criminality in politics

add to the ongoing genocide (not used lightly) reported on most news channels of Israels actions in Gaza, there have been well over 400 murders of Palestinians in the west bank by illegal Israeli settlers; with the active support of Israels IDF; clearing Palestinians out of their homes so as Israelis can illegally settle on the land

Most of us have looked the other way for years over Israels abuses and murders, but this is Genocide, war crimes, International crimes, murder of children and women by the thousands,  and gross inhumanity

Seems clear to me that what Israel has eradicated is any 'right to sympathy or consideration coming from the monstrous atrocities of the holocaust. They should now and forever more be judged solely on their actions - as a rogue state and as a state performing mass murder including thousands of children, forced civilian displacement, starvation as a weapon of war -  genocide.

That should keep them out of power for at least a decade

The right wing nuts might point the finger of blame at everyone else, including 'lefty money market capitalist establishment', but they shold look in a mirror. The only time the wing nuts do well is when a moderate has been voted in.

They should all (paraphrasing Anderson) sod off to ukip/reform and stop pretending to be Conservatives.

We the British public require that Liz Truss is denied British public funding for her nut job preaching and refuse to be used as a personal ATM for extremists, especially when they are breaking all requirements in place that define decorum for ex Pms or current ministers

and i see Israel has again bombed a clearly marked aide convoy killing international aide workers (per aide org member), just like they seem to have deliberately destroyed the main Gaza hospital complex with explosives.

Just like they block aide at borders, and have targeted and murdered health care workers, journalists and children.

 

Supplying weapons to Israel is nothing less than aiding and abetting war crimes murder and genocide.

 

I see Israel has also bombed what is effectively a foreign embassy - quite clearly intensifying Israels attempts to drag the US and its allies (us) into a war in the middle east. I dont doubt Israel is using the threat of unleashing its nuclear arsenal if the US doesn't support them. Seems to me its long past time Israel was treated like Iran, and Israels nuclear armageddon weapon capability taken out in a strike. That netanyahus' Israel (allegedly) has that mass destruction capability should frighten sensible people, not just prophecy aficionados.

New tariffs are set to hit British firms exporting to Canada from Easter Monday, after attempts to extend the trade exemption failed.

As of April 1, industries including car manufacturers, processed foods and chemical exports will lose the tariff-free access to Canada they currently benefit from

The exemption from rules placing tariffs on goods with parts from the EU was temporarily agreed under the trade deal rolled over with the North American nation post-Brexit in 2021.

But now the status is set to expire and the UK has been unable to agree a deal with Canada to extend it – or to negotiate a new Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

The evidence seems to be pointing at yet another deliberate targeting of unarmed aide trucks/workers by Israel - in addition to the hundreds of highly credible reports of Israel deliberately targeting health/care workers, aid workers, and journalists. They might not be deliberately targeting children - but they certainly are murdering children by the thousands

Past time the west put protection in and warned Israeli planes/drone control sites will be shot down/bombed if they target civilians and aid workers. If there were even a hint that Syrian forces were doing anything like this, there would quickly be significant air strikes against Assads infrastructure and military.
