    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 All,

 

Hope you're well!

 

I've been helping a friend with letters she's been receiving for a few months now.

She's had letters from Santander saying she owes money, though she swore blind that she's never had any dealings with them. We sent a "prove it" letter a while back and heard nothing.

 

This was then taken up by Rockwell - CCA request sent and the case sent back to Santander (postal order refunded).

 

Then Wescot tried their hand - CCA request referrred to santander, who have now sent the letter attached below.

 

Rockwell and Wescot didn't "own" the alleged debt - they were "acting on behalf of..."

 

We've checked "Noddle" - she has absolutely NOTHING on her credit file - no searches, no defaults, no CCJs, etc.

 

Now as Santander are alledging that she took out a loan in 1999 (before changes in April 2007) - therefore technically any agreement produced in court should be the original, rather than a reconstruction.

 

I've since dug deeper and have ascertained that this COULD be a loan she took out with Alliance and Leicester - it starts to make sense as they were taken over by Santander...

 

There's been no payments or acknowledgements for five years, so it won't be statute barred.

 

I'd welcome any thoughts as to how she stands, bearing in mind the content of the letter below.

 

Thanks

EDIT: I would have thought that the "legitimate reasons" that Santander mention in their letter would include proof that any alleged debt was actually owed? All seems a bit dodgy to me! If they have no way of proving it...

  • Confused 1

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...

Thanks guys, pretty much what I thought.

 

I know people are always advised not to play "letter ping-pong" but I thought a last letter to Santander stating "no proof, no payment, further contact will be rgarded as harassment, any further responses will be charged at a rate of... etc."

That letter makes no sense whatsoever.

 

They have to keep all paperwork for 6 years after the account is closed (money laundering) So if it's been more than 6 years, the account is Stat barred anyways.

 

Tell them to bog off.

Thanks Havinastella :D

 

The following will be sent on Tuesday (12 + 2 working days)

 

Dear Ms. Speed,

 

Reference Number xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Account Formally In Dispute

 

Thank you for your letter of 18th March 2013, confirming in writing that you have no proof of any agreement or amounts owed on the above alleged account.

As you have failed to comply with my CCA request, the above alleged account entered default as of today, 26th March 2013 and should be regarded as being formally in dispute.

For your ease of reference, you were, according to the terms defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments, legally obliged to send me:

“a true copy of the executed agreement that contained all of the prescribed terms, all other required terms and statutory notices and was signed by both your company and myself as defined in section 61(1) of CCA 74 and subsequent Statutory Instruments.”

 

Please note that I do not recognise or acknowledge any debt to Santander, its subsidiaries, nor any third party that may be currently or in the future, nominated or employed by your company.

 

You state in your letter, “ information can only be retained for legitimate reasons.”

 

I’m sure you will agree that proof of any legally binding contract or any amounts owing could reasonably be considered as “legitimate” and therefore any pertinent documents would, and should have been retained.

 

Due to your written, stated inability to comply with my legal request, I will now expect no further contact from your company or its representatives, other than to acknowledge receipt of this letter or to confirm that the alleged account has been closed and no further action will be taken, including, but not limited to, the resale of the above account to any third party.

 

Any further correspondence in this matter, other than that outlined above, will be regarded as harassment and as such, any written replies will be formally invoiced to your company at my standard rate of £30 per hour, plus any reasonable expenses incurred per reply. Non payment of such will be rigorously pursued via small claims court.

A formal complaint will also be lodged with all relevant regulatory bodies should the need arise.

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Halibutt's Mate x
