      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By Schipoo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By stu007 · Posted

      As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

After sending letters and spreadsheets to Barclays, they have offered me £1125 out of a claim of £1500. What should I do? I could really do with the money right now, and can't really afford to take them to court, so should I accept or try my luck a bit more??

 

Thanks

I wouldn't take it personally, but if you dont you will have to go through the courts. which will cost a mininum of £120.

 

so it's up to you. my advise would be to continue you'll get the full ammount plus interest and cost's back.

 

barclays seem to be offering quite high settlements just lately, to try and put people off.

 

stick at it!!!!!!!

No-one can TELL you to pursue it, if you have reservations about continuing then I suggest you sleep on it tonight and rethink tomorrow.

If its the nerve side of it, being scared of taking on the big boys, dont worry, there are loads of threads I can point you to where the young ladies have been petrified to continue, but they did and they have won.

 

remember your amount will increase once you file at court with the added interest AND you will get your court fees back.

 

If you do continue I for one will promise to follow you through to the end and I know lots more on here will do the same.

 

As I say, have a think and come back, either way we will congratulate you.

Think of it this way, yes take the money now and enjoy it, if that is what you have to do, but, how many opportunities will you get to spend £120 and get about £550 back in return? It will take longer, alot longer, so it is a delicate balancing act - just do what you think is right...remember the only wrong here is Barclays!

 

I don't think that helps at all, but good luck with the decisions!

Well, I have decided to decline their offer, partly because we received a letter on Friday informing us they are charging us £30 for going £26 over our overdraft limit, even though my wages went in on Thursday. The problem with my wages is that I am paid on the last Thursday of the month, this can be as early as the 25th or as late as the 30th, makes it hard to budget. Have downloaded template letter, ready to amend and send off. Will let you know!

Posted a question on the Abbey forum a few days ago but no reply, so hope you don't mind if I post here.

 

I have completed the N1 form and aloNg with schedule of charges have copied 3 times. There seems to be conflicting info, do I send 2 or 3 copies to the court and do I have to send a copy to the defendant (ie Abbey?)

 

Thanks

Thanks, have completed & saved claim. Need to phone Barclays tomorrow to find out date we opened our account.

 

This is the wording I have used, is this okay?

 

1. The Claimant has an account xxxxxx with the Defendant, opened May 2000 2. Since 15/09/2000 the Defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract. 3. Defendant is aware of all details, as a list of charges has already been supplied. Another copy will be sent. 4. Claimant contends: (a) The charges exceed the Defendant's losses caused by the breaches; (b) The Term permitting the Defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the amounts debited of £xxxx; (b) Interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £xxxx continuing at 8% until judgment or settlement at a daily rate of £0.34; 6. Costs allowed by the Court. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service then they must be reasonable under S15 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.

Thanks!

As with most claims I guess, mine has been suspended pending the test case. Just wondered if it is worth writing to Barclays to ask if they would reinstate their original offer?? We really need the money at the moment.
