    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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.

Ok ! Here goes, i signed up with experian for their 1 month free trial. Thought i would get my free trials worth and checked it regularly. Anyway, since signing up i have got an out of the blue letter from Capquest re- a old debt with capital 1. Having checked my credit reference again this am, i am astonished to find a default from capquest for the sum of just over £500. This was'nt there a week ago ! They say on the report that the default occured in 2005 (not sure if this is right). Are these CRA's working hand in hand with the DCA's or what ? Additionally, i have been bombarded with e-mails and letters offering me quick loans. Needless to say i'm absolutley fuming over this :evil: (the fact that the CRA's appear to be responsible ). I shall be putting forward a CCA requst to capquest but i also want to add the fact they need to remove this default. Does anyone know if i can do this ? Does anyone have a suitable template which includes both requests ? Has anyone else had this problem. Sorry for all the questions but just when i seem to be getting in control of my financial worries !

Most of this debt is proberbly down to unlawful charges anyway so i will def be pursuing that one ! Lets hope they've just dropped themselves in it !!

Hi DD,

 

What is the nature of the debt and how old is it?

Hi there. I did'nt know what it was for at first but it says on the letter capquest frmly capital one which is a credit card debt. I had'nt heard from them for absolute ages so dont know if what says on credit reference is true that default occured in 2005 although has only been put on in the last week since signing with experian. I'm not disputing i had a credit card with cap 1 just ded annoyed now and gutted. I'm gunna take them to the cleaners for the charges as i'm sure it will clear the debt. Anway thanks for replying and any further help will be gratefully received. x

Yes, they do work hand-in-hand. One of them owns Westcott DCA for a start. :mad:

Unbeleivable ! and then to have the cheek to pass my details onto loan companies !!!! This one's from capquest though not Westcott but hey ! who knows who they deal with !

All comments very much gratefully received. x

DD,

 

This link is so you can CCA the DCA, use letter N, enclose £1.00 postal order and don't put your signature on the letter. They have 12 working days to respond at which point the debt is in dispute. After another 30 days they are comitting a criminal offence if they continue to pursue the debt whilst it is in dispute assuming they have not replied.

The next link shows how to S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) the original creditor, enclosing a £10.00 postal order, don't use your signature on the letter. They have 40 days within to reply. This will show what was owing when transferred to the DCA to have any unlawful charges removed.

Send them off via recorded delivery, USE POSTAL ORDERS NOT CHEQUES..don't want them having any more financial details on you.

 

Hope this helps.

DD,

 

I would. The CCA goes to Crapquest and the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to Crapitol One.

 

Crapquest are obliged to send you a statement of account (will show charges added since they took it over), compare it to the statement as part of the SAR from Crapitol One and you will probably find a discrepancy. Could be unlawful charges that you can have removed.

 

Think my 'r' key keeps kicking in whenever I type in a creditor or dca....very strange.

Hi there. Yep i would def think carefully about doing it now. Especially if you may have something which might just pop up. I suppose some would say its just a coincidence, but i dont think so ! I never receive letters or e-mails like that and all of a sudden hundreds of them and thats no joke, as soon as signing up to experian. I intend to ring experian on Tuesday to see what they have to say. If you still want to go ahead i def would'nt go with the free monthly trial, i would contact the other one equifax and do it by snail mail ( the £2 way ) and not online as this gives them access to your e-mail and anyway they dont offer a free trial so less likely to mess with you ( i suppose anyway ). All opinions still gratefully received as knowledge not very good ( learning fast though ! ) xxx

Does anybody think an S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to all 3 Credit Reference Agencies would show more than they put on the normal report?

Also - can you do the same with the Land Registry?

I know you can get (Land Registry) house info. - we've just done it - but what about the details of other people accessing your information?

We will not be intimidated.

Can we actually SAR the CRA'S and what info would this give us ? sorry if sound a bit thick. x

In theory information from a SAR request should show the names of companies who have accessed the register of the individual concerned.

 

By applying for the credit check, the individual is giving permission for their details to be gathered and more importantly (but not made clear by the CRA) used to update the register which is accessed by DCA's.
