    • Hi Schipoo and thank you for the update.   Excellent news for you and a huge relief, I imagine. You might like to start a new thread about Independent Tax if you want advice on that problem. HB
    • 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.

    • 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

    • 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.

Jenny I just realised you said waiting for Barclays defence, if you are referring to the hearing for application to uplift stay, they won't have to submit a defence will they? is it possible?

Hi Val, hows the bundle going? I printed & photocopied more today.. but with the possibility of yet another postal strike next week I will ring the court Monday to see if I have managed to get the same oral hearing as you. Im going to Lancaster sat/sun to see my sister so wont be able to do anymore for my bundle until next week. I just thought, do we have to submit all the actual bank statements x 3.... hope that the soc's are enough for this hearing

 

 

If you do take bank statements only take the ones with relevant charges on them, as the judge will not be best pleased with wading through reams of them, but you will prob not need them as it is only a hearing. just take them if you intend to refer to specific charges. Hope that helps. Stone

No sorry Val if I alarmed you, I was referring to the 8 Banks who have apparently put in their defence papers re the actual test cast, they are supposed to be published and cfrx is going to post them on the main site. :lol:

Hi olden,

yeah you put your own figure in there, The skeleton argument is just as it says a skeleton argument just giving the bare bones of your claim, the best way to use it is to just read it out to the judge at your hearing, if he asks for further detail the you can check back to your POC, So basicaly it is a script for you to read out, when the judge asks you to outline your case just read it out to him and offer him a copy and one to the banks rep. ( you can tell him that you have written it all out as you do not want to appear confused or overawed by the fact that you are in court, a new experience to you. ) you should not need a new POC as this is already with your claim. and the POC for the application is the letter that you sent with the N244 .

Once again many thanks stone you are a gem;) ;) I have done most of it now had to go out one of my grandsons birthday, back to the grind.

As I say i have the feeling there is no hope as Barclays are not paying out at all, even if the stay was lifted it's no go

Hi Olden,

 

Listen, you may not succeed with getting the stay lifted but at least you're having a go and good for you for sticking at it.

 

Don't, however, lose sight of the bigger or longer term picture - YOU WILL be getting your charges back from Barclays - not IF but WHEN!

 

You'll be pleased you turned down their partial offer - just keep your chin up.

HI slick, thanks for that, so you think I should keep at it do you? I am not kidding when I say that after putting all of this together I am not sure I have a sufficiently extreme case of hardship, after reading that you need to prove that the penalty charges are directly responsible for your debt. in all honesty I could not.

Like slick has said just keep at it, at least then if you do not get stay lifted, at least you did your best, and did not roll over and give up. I do not honestly expect to get my stay set aside, but I am going to give it my best shot. WE WILL ALL WIN IN THE END,:lol::lol::grin:

Hi Olden and thanks for the pm.

 

My feelings are:-

 

1. You could put together the best hardship argument there is, and you STILL might not get stay lifted by judge.

 

2. Good for you for all your efforts.

 

3. Don't be surprised or too downhearted if the stay remains.

 

4. In your own opinion, you're not convinced that you have a strong enough case legally (not morally - different matter entirely).

 

5. If the anti stay appeal is not costing too much financiallly or emotionally, stick with it. You may at least be able to ask judge to rule that banks stops adding further charges until after OFT case, if you advise re your present income.

 

6. If you hit a brick wall, sit down and rest your back, don't bang your head! If not now, then after OFT, you'll get your money back.
