    • 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.

Hi, thought I would post this incase any of you are having dealings with this Glasgow based DCA.

Allied International Credit (UK) Ltd or AIC, are not very competant. Which we all know is a pre-requisite for being a DCA.

Yesterday OH rec'd a card stating that AIC's client (in this case LLoyds), has informed them that full payment must be made immediately. Ok nothing different here...apart from OH was made BR a few months ago!!!!!

Then, on the same day as receiving the card, I receive a phone call asking OH to call them urgently on a "personal business matter".

I advise AIC that OH was made BR by their client in May 07.

They say "I know, but we still need to speak to him"

Well actually AIC, you are unable to speak with OH, as OH has no debts, and does not owe you or your client any money, and is not allowed to discuss this or any other matter with you.

MUPPETS.

Would have loved this one to go to court....sadly, don't think it will get to court as OH phoned them back, and was a tad sarcastic, and they hung up on him.

So if any of you receive anything from AIC - dont panic.

Think they need to learn how to do their job properly!!!

Just a note to say that she in glass houses should not throw stones, as AIC registered office is in Basingstoke. Red's muppet status restored. Might see if they have any jobs going for me. Takes a muppet to know one!!

I blame Lloyds really. They seem to like using these muppets. I gave up bothering to reply to anything AIC send me a long time ago (it's a waste of a stamp).

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

 

BEWARE OF CLAIMS MANAGEMENT COMPANIES OFFERING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS.

Its only really now that I can really acknowledge just how incompetant these DCAs are!

And would Lloyds really be that dim to pass on a debt? Especially as they have a special invitation next monday to a creditors meeting following OHs BR?!

I agree CB, nothing suprises me any more where DCAs are concerned!

Oh well, it made me laugh so thats a bonus. And that was without a tickle :p

hi

 

i've had dealings with AIC also, (recently sent a CCA request to them). Lloyds passed my credit card debt onto them about 4 years ago and periodically over the years I've had letters from them offering me a one-off reduced payment with the promise that I will never hear from them again followed by a letter from them a week later saying that they will not accept my offer of a reduced payment!:rolleyes::p they don't seem very bright!

Well, it seems that the banks don't really care who they pass the debt data to as long as they get paid for it. So it may well end up with Allied International Credit DCA.

 

The banks have already declared these debts to be a bad debt (in most cases) and they have written the debt off. They have the compensation for this from the insurance covering bad debts and they have also got the "tax break" from HMRC by offsetting this loss against their profits.

 

But they also sell on the data on the debt (i.e. your identity, phone number, address etc.) because it gets them a few more quid (usually they sell the data for about 10% of the full account value, sometimes less, sometimes much less if the data has been sold from one DCA to another).

 

So why are the banks allowed to sell on data for dead debts?

 

HMRC recognise this as a dead debt (hence the tax break). Do banks regard themselves as a higher authority than the Crown?

 

The debt is DEAD - so how on earth are they allow to sell information regarding that dead debt?

 

What we need is a new law - a Debt Data Assignment Act - to prevent this data from being sold to muppets like Allied International Credit DCA in the first place.

Hi Maggieboo!

 

I am also interested in the results of your CCA request - Keep us posted

 

Now back to AIC. I had one of my ever so polite conversations with them this morning. No issues, but as a result, I decided to google their name in. As AIC, I got very little other than their website and of course a referral to this forum.

I then googled in: Allied International Credit. On the top of the list I saw www.moneymanagersuk.co.uk/, so I had a look. They specifically refer to AIC and all people who have bad experiences or are being chased by AIC, and they promise to speak to AIC on your behalf to reduce your payments and even reduce your debt to zero.

 

Be warned!!! Yes they are muppets, and the real muppets would be insulted if we compared them with this lot. On the website I decided to look at their contact information, and much to my surprise, I found the same company name and address as AIC in Glasgow give you.

 

There is a slight case of conflict of interest I would say, and I wonder if this is illegal. The company that offers to help you with your debts (for a very stiff fee of course!!!!) is offering to help you to reduce your debts with themselves!!!! Maybe one of the guru's can have a look at this and report it to the FSO if I am right. I don't think I have enough knowledge on this subject to do this, but it would be interesting

 

Good luck with your CCA request and keep us posted please

I tried the same but didn't get that result at all.

AIC has a Glasgow office but their Registered office is in Basingstoke.

Money Managers' website gives their registered office as being in Derbyshire.

There does not seem to be any connection between the two.

 

Checking AIC's website shows that it is a Canadian company with operations in the US and UK. I wonder if that explains their aggressive approach to debt collecting.

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Well, my word, I am flabbergasted and have to apologise to MoneymanagersUK.co.uk. I have no idea what happened when I googled it, I cannot find the page I landed on back, neither under AIC nor under Allied International. So, herewith an unequivocal withdrawal of the statement I made earlier.(see post 9) MoneymanagersUK.co.uk and AIC are not connected (apparently) my apologies to fellow caggers and thanks to Palomino. Shows you how careful you must be in this game.

Aah, Royds and AIC - no two entities in the entire financial sector are as stupid as these two.

 

 

Just had a CPR request and CCA request both sent to AIC returned by Lloyds. Lloyds state that they know nothing of the account and don't have any records BUT if I would like to forward them copies of correspondence and documentation I hold this might help them be able to recreate whoops can't believe I said that erm LOCATE the account.:rolleyes:

 

I suggest they may be waiting some time.

As of 03/03/12 please do not under any circumstances wait for my further input or guidance on any current thread or defence of a court claim I might have been involved in on or through Cag.

I CCA'd AIC and sent letters yesterday. I am waiting with baited breath. The more I see from these muppets the more I like it. Just had one of the DCA's on the phone. Told them that I do not wish to speak to them anymore and that if they wanted anything they could write. He was asking why I suddenly sent a CCA request and suggested that I was trying to wriggle out of paying my debt. Yeah right! I told him 'of course not. I do not wriggle out of any debts, but I am in the process of organising my financial life, and found I have no documentation, hence my request!' He was not a happy puppy and threatened, you know, repo, bailiffs, enforcement orders and all the usual. I just think that he was trying it on because he can't produce. One day down - 13 to go!! Patience!!

Just a quick update . . . .

6 sent - one returned including pucker Credit agreement (including ppp) Need to check this on legality but all seems in order - just goes to show that you cannot win them all. Also shows that in the case of Aktive Kapital First Investment - are not as big a muppet as they are painted - they did have the agreement and although I need it to be checked, it seems in good order. more to follow . . . . .

Hi

 

Had two messages on 9th Feb 2010, from AIC, one on the mobile and one on the landline asking me to contact them. They quote a referrence number, although it is an automated message. Do i contact these people or not. Any advise on the best way forward would be appreciated.

 

Thanx Smouk for answering my above questions.

NO! Absolutely DO NOT contact them via telephone. Keep it exclusively in writing. If they phone, and you get someone human - I mean this in a very broad sense (not an automated call, I mean) - refuse to continue the call and hang up.

 

Take it from me - AIC have nothing to say that's worth listening to.
