    • 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.

Hi,

 

My subscription to the above has just expired & I have recieved a mesage telling me my system is not protected until I renew my subscription. The problem is, according to the invoice I got when I renewed last year, my subscription does'nt run out till 28/08/07.

 

Has anyone else had a similar problem with Symantec/Norton.

 

I tried e-mailing the address on their website, only to get an error message telling me that the address no longer accepts mail!!!!

There is no need to purchase security software. There are free Firewalls and Anti-virus programs available, some of it better than Norton.

 

Google 'AVG' and 'Zonealarm'

 

Also download Spybot search and destroy and Ad-Aware to keep you clean.

Sorry to say but Norton sucks bottom BIG time.

In my experience it causes more harm then good.

 

Now here's my usual computer stuff:

 

When was the last time you did some serious maintenance on your system ?

 

System maintenance includes:

Defrag

FULL patching

Virus scanning

Spyware scanning

removal of rubish files

 

Defrag is an inbuilt function in XP.

Open My Computer > Right click C: > Tools Tab and its there.

 

To make sure everything is running fine run both anti virus and anti spyware apps in normal AND safe modes. (make sure that they are updated first ! ;)) (AVG is good and free AV)

(A couple of good removal tools are Spybot and Adaware)

 

ALso an on line virus and spyware scanner is Trend Housecall

 

Just a note: actively running two AV's on one machine can cause problems.

So if you are thinking about it make sure your current one is disabled first.

Same thing applies to online scanners as well.

 

Removal of junk files is easy with CCleaner a free app that does exactly what

 

If all this fails then a repair install may be in order:

 

Here's the official Micro$oft way of doing it,

and Here's one with screen shots.

 

Basically this installs windows over the top of your current setup.

So you don't loose any information you already have.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Just a thought worth checking:

 

Did you rebuild (reinstall the operating system on) your PC something like a month or three months ago?

 

Just wondering if the reason it says it has expired, is because you need to go back into the software and key in a licence code (which you might have got when you renewed last) to let the software know it is properly licenced. It may be in "Free Trial" mode.

Free Anti-Virus Protection - Active Virus Shield is better than AVG and Avast IMO

The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.

Make sure and remove your Norton before installing another anti-virus software, it doesn't like other anti-virus programs. If you don't, and install another program you computer may not boot up, Norton will attack the other program as it would a virus.

 

Do this through your control program and the add/remove program option.

If you know how to alter your registry, then remove Norton and as others have said on here, which I have used for years, AVG, Zonealarm etc are free and excellent. Norton is easily disabled by trojans and the like, waste of space and waste of money.

 

Good Luck.

 

:)

 

p.s. don't touch your registry unless you know what your doing. :)

Word of warning, NAV isn't easy to completely uninstall, do a search on Google to find you a proper unistaller. Symantec like Microsoft have a habit of wanting to own your machine, Norton in my experience used to be really good but in the last 4 years have turned bad, the sw completely grinds your machine to a halt.

 

Windows Defender isn't too bad and you can also download CA's offering which works OK, Ad-Aware have a new version which will scan automatically but in my experience, if you were to scan the same machine with Spybot S&D, you'll still find something lurking.

 

Oh yes and never touch your registry if you're not familiar with it, that'll be the death of your machine..

I was using McAfee antivirus. It was making my aging PC very slowwww.

 

I uninstalled McAfee and installed free Avast antivirus, I just use standard protection, not web, IM or email.

I'm very happy with it. I haven't seen any suspicious network activity or rogue processes

I don't have any personal firewalls 'cos my router has got one

Thanks for all the info folks, unfortunately I've already "upgraded" to Internet Security 2007, but I will be looking at alternatives as soon as I can find the time.
