    • 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.

Hi, I have a problem with Motormile finance, they have trashed my credit file with a default. They have registered it in June this year without sending out a default notice or any letters. I don't even know what the debt is for.

 

says on Experian £350 account started November 2013. I have no records that show what it is, Experian claim its a pay day loan.

 

Experian are going to contact MMF that I dispute it.

 

Should I SAR them or is there a CPR request that would be more appropriate. My credit file has been looking up recently and this serves a blow to it.

Hi,

 

Don't Subject Access Request MMF, all you will get back is a couple pages of worthless printouts for your Tenner.

You only ever SAR the Original Creditor.

 

Place a notice of correction against the Default.

 

Have you had any letters at all from MMF?

Have had a payday loan in the past?

Have you moved address in the last few years?

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

Thanks for the reply. No letters at all from MMF. I did do a couple of PDL's but must of been back in 2009/10. Nothing since as I have been doing really well with finances. I have not moved house for over 11 years.

 

Does a notice of correction actually have any impact on my credit file.

100% no idea who the original creditor or debt is with, in my current position I wouldn't chance a default and a further 6 years of poor credit for £350..

 

 

I have sent them a letter headed complaint today. I am fully prepared to take this all the way......

usual MMF MO then I see...

 

write to them

give them 14 days to removed the default

else you'll complain to the ICO.

 

a debt buyer/DCA cannot default debts.

esp those that they themselves put up or put back up on a creditfile

 

they know the score and have already been fined and had their wings clipped for doing the same to 1000's of people

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Thank you Dx, I missed that they had their own thread.

 

Letter sent recorded delivery titled Official complaint, giving 14 days to remove the default.

 

Experian are also contacting them but I doubt they will be up to much.

 

If they don't remove do I need to do a letter before action or just crack on with it?

Ok its been 16 days, no response from motormile from my recorded delivery letter of complaint, i have just sent complaint and evidence to ICO. Can i go on moneyclaim website and start action?

 

The courts will expect you to get a response from the Regulator (ICO) first before starting any legal action. It comes under pre-action protocol

Let it run. It may take time, but the linger MMF dont comply, the higher the chance at compensation.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

So it seems they think they can register new defaults, check this out that I have received by email:

 

 

Dear Mr #######

 

Thank you for your recent communication.

 

We understand your concern to be:

 

1. We have incorrectly entered a default on your credit file on the ##/06/2016 for the amount of £350.00

2. You have never had any dealings with our company and have not received a default notice or any other notice of the outstanding debt.

3. You dispute the registered default notice as this was not applied by the original creditor and demand this to be removed.

 

I shall address each concern, individually, below:

 

Concern 1

 

The account we hold in your name relates to a high cost short term loan which was obtained with Cash Genie. The amount borrowed was £350.00 in November 2013. We purchased this account from Cash Genie in April 2016, the outstanding balance is £350.00. The default has been entered on your credit file as the terms and conditions of the loan have been broken, the amount borrowed has not been paid back within the timeframe agreed with the lender.

 

Concern 2

A Notice of Assignment (NOA) and a goodbye email was sent to you on the 06/05/2016 to the email address #######. This was to advise you that Cash Genie were no longer dealing with the account and it had been sold onto ourselves and we were now the legal owners of the loan.

 

The Notice of Default (NOD) was sent to your home address of ########## on the 15/06/2016. This was to advise you of our intention to register the default on your credit file. We apologise that the default date was reported incorrectly we have now rectified this.

 

Concern 3

MMF are the legal owners of this debt and maintain all rights including reporting an accurate default on your credit file. We are therefore unable to remove the entry from your credit file as it will not show an accurate history on your credit report.

We hope this response has brought the matter to an acceptable resolution and the action taken is to your satisfaction. However, this is our final response, if you remain unhappy with the response I have attached a link to the leaflet about the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). Should you choose to contact them, you will need to do so within six months from the date of this email, enclosing a copy of the final response, which they will need for their investigation.

 

If you would like a copy of this response by post including the leaflet please let me know by return email.

 

FOS Leaflet: http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/publications/consumer-leaflet.htm

 

Kind Regards,

Complaints Department

Honestly DX I am not sure, I was in financial difficulty back then and did use several payday loans. I have no memory of cash genie but I cannot rule it out. If they had sent a default notice I wouldn't screw up 6 years of history for £350
