    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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.

Hello all,

Has anyone any knowledge of the dealings of the above names.

An E-Mail landed in my inbox today, headed dear client, accompanied by a rather nasty threatogramme styled content. Threatening that if no contact made with them by tomorrow, the account will be escalated and extra charges will be applied.??

 

I have had no dealings with them at all and they have not supplied any details of account nos or names of anyone that I am supposed to owe this alleged debt to.

 

All suggestions will be greatly received.

have you checked the email address the mail came from? Might give some clues. To me it sounds like a s cam email (it wouldn't let me type the word.....why is that?)

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and all is well!

Hi

 

I received the same type of communication today I have an outstanding account with Uncle Buck which I was advised has been passed to Carter Forbes. I also received a text from Uncle Buck today advising me to contact Carter Forbes as my file has been prepared for legal action. I had previously contacted Carter Forbes last month a few times by email and post but have received no reply to communication only emails to call them. I sent goodwill gesture payment in April no response then today I received the email described above from the same person who originally contacted me from Carter Forbes (wasn't from Daz Arbon but same communication). I keep receiving texts to contact by phone from them but have continued with written communication.

Carter Forbes YES! I have heard of them, a nasty piece of work by all accounts.

 

As for Daz Arbon probably a figment of their imagination.

 

We will contact the client and inform them that we are representing you as a collection specialist and looking to secure the payments as a matter of urgency. We utilise all manners of communication to ensure that we explain the current situation to the client and the potential repercussions of non-compliance. Our management team are well trained in establishing and maintaining relationships with your clients as well as feeding back the information to you in a mutually agreed time frame and format. We will collect your debt quickly and effectively.

 

Well if you don't know what it is they are after then I would leave well alone, are you aware of any outstanding debts?

 

As for adding extra charges, go right ahead, you won't have to pay them!

Also had communications with Carter Forbes, requested CCA, they didnt respond so put the account into dispute. Had to laugh at their website and the bully boy " we only give you two chances". So far I have had at least 6 emails the most recent being last week,. I have been offerred discounts ranging from 25% to 60%. Lost the CCA chaps? Re; Your Uncle Buck account, would love to a judge to see that rate of 2100%, be good to get the press inolved too, 2100% is nothing more than a loan shark. Shame on CF for getting involved, really bottom of the barrel stuff.

Just done a little more reading of their website, and it is very obvious that even these lot breach the OFT DCG, as they openly admit, to answering the phones answering "In your name" and then if a client is not paying their bill we can transfer the debt to our own debt recovery section so it looks like the debt had been escalated!

 

So that will be "unfair business practices" for a start!

I note that, as is the case with many members of the CSA, that Carter Forbes rather amateurish website does not comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The CSA code of conduct requires all its members to act within the law; whilst the CSA is just the shabby debt industry bum-licking club, CPUTR makes it an offence for a business to not comply with a code of conduct it says it is enrolled in.

 

The style reminds me somewhat of Greenhalgh's the aggressive solicitor/DCA who were made to wind their necks in by the SRA/OFT.

That bloke is horrendous. The average (non CAG) person getting an email from them and finding that site via Google would feel as if they were being doorstepped and threatened inside their own home.

Wouldn't buy a used car from him that's for sure. Probably worked his way down from extorting other kids dinner money at school, to car clamping to his current exalted position.

Thank you all for your swift input.

 

The problem that is the most annoying to me, is the fact that they call me "client", I have had no dealings with them whatsoever and no company has informed me of them acting/ threatening on their behalf and most of all, the E-Mail from them has absolutely no particulars of claim as to any alleged debt or a name as to whom they are purporting to represent/intimidate on the behalf of. It is merely an E- threatogramme with directions to phone them.

 

Why do these people not write hard copy and conduct business in a proper manner??.

Losingmymind,

 

I have not responded to them as yet, as I do not know who, or what they claim to represent.

Pay day loans are for 1 months duration plus 1 contractural interest only.

all the add ons are wishful thinking from them and are grossly OTT.

even if you was in debt with a company and carter forbes bought your debt its not legal as you have never signed a contract with them, also if YOU only sign a contract and no one on their side does its still not a legal binding contract.
