    • 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 :)

 

I'm trying to help my partner,

who's been living with me but has ignored debts of approx £10k for a minimum of 6 years

which accumulated before my partner arrived in my life.

 

My partner with encouragement has tried general counselling but it wasn't long enough time spent to get to the root of the problem.

 

Is reluctant to seek further help.

 

With a MH condition I'm wondering if it might be possible though to get MIND to help....

 

Doesn't want to file for bankrupcy though.

 

Been out of work, then my carer so can't afford to pay loans back.

 

Is there a risk at my home of bailiffs?

 

Are there any other options I can steer my partner towards?

 

Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

In order for bailiffs to visit your home the creditor would of been to court and got a CCJ

even if they got a CCJ there is no right of entry no force for a high court enforcement officer to a residential address

You do not need to open door to them

 

If your partner has gone 6 years with no payment on the accounts they may be statue barred

 

If there was going to be any court and CCJ I expect they would of done it years ago

 

Check the credit file noodle is free

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

Thanks for your replies, I'll check his Noddle credit file. (Having a look at the moment... it wants to identify him by his bank card and wants numbers is this normal?)

 

No I'm not getting any letters, phew!

 

I'm so glad to hear there is no right of entry to a residential address. I had contemplated I could get stress at my front door. Big phew!

 

There has definitely not been any payments made.

 

This 'statute barred' looks very interesting.

Ahh okay thanks. It looks like a clear Noddle report at current address but need to check on a previous address which seems to take a further month to obtain on this account. Then hopefully we will know if there were any court actions.

Trust online will show up any current CCJs ( there is a charge for this).

No there's no linked addresses, we've had a look through all the different sections. We've had to edit his current profile address on Noddle to an old one where he had the loan so that when it does a monthly update it will show anything outstanding at his previous address.

How much do they charge for checking CCJ's?

I believe it's around £4.00 per address, But the system is accurate and up to date.

I've searched Trust online in the Orders & Judgements section and I'm pleased to find there is nothing registered.

 

But what if a CCJ was registered prior to these 6 years? I guess I can't check anywhere prior to 6 years can I?

 

I found this article through Googling 'statute barred'.

 

http://www.debtwatchdog.com/statute-barred-debt-england-and-wales-Article-215.html

 

So have I got this right?

 

If a CCJ has been registered before (but not currently on the list) this means statue barred does't apply, so the loan company could pester him in the future.

 

But if a CCJ has never been registered before statue barred does apply, the loan company could still pester him in the future but would only be successful if he was to admit he owed them in the first place.

if anyone does not enforce a CCJ in the 'allowed' 6yrs

then it extremely rare for enforcement to be granted outside of 6yrs

 

I think you are worrying about nothing.

I think you can safely ignore any threat of court action now, there has been plenty of time for any action to be taken.

*Shocked.......* Wow!

 

I can't understand why they wouldn't have registered a CCJ.

 

But I guess if my partner didn't respond to any letters and no payments were made

and then my partner moved to a different address they gave up trying to find him.

 

Wow thanks for helping me put things into perspective. *Relief*

the CCJ will always be registered

 

however it over 6yrs so drops off CRA file.

I've got the dates muddled up.

It was Sept 2008 my partner was made redundant due to the company closing the branch. This was when my partner was unable to make payments. So if a CCJ was registered it would have been just in the period after redundancy, so it would still show on the list waiting to come off. So then a CCJ might not have been taken out against my partner? :???:

Possibly yes. Did you check previous addresses (if any)?

Yep I checked his address where he was living at the time and nothing was registered. (It just sounded like too much of a miracle ending, I couldn't believe there would be any law on the side of the people in this day and age.) Thanks so much for putting my nightmare problem into a new perspective. Much, much appreciation.
