    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

    • 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 Folks,

 

Looking for some advice.

 

I've been unemployed for 15 months. I have had an arrangement in place with Nationwide to just

pay the interest on my mortgage, for about 8 months or so. Normally every 3 months they extend the arrangement for another 3 months after getting me to go through my income/expenditure.

 

Last time they only extended it for 2 months as I was unfortunate to speak to a stroppy adviser

on the mortgage team. She said it can't be extended indefinitely and I would need to call again in August.

 

I've a couple of weeks temp work coming up and the two questions I have are:

 

Could I not just switch my mortgage to Interest-Only, I'm currently on a standard variable rate of 2.54 %. I briefly spoke to someone on the desk at my Nationwide local branch, and he said to do that I would need to take out an endowment policy as I do not have 150K equity in the house.

My significant other, who has her own house, went Interest-Only about a year and a half ago, and she was not required to take out an Endowment Policy at her Mortgage Provider. Is that requirement set-in stone somewhere, or does it vary from bank to bank Is it worth me talking to a mortgage adviser at the Nationwide. I'm not in a position to afford a policy.

 

My second question is with regard to Mortgage Interest Relief (MIR) that the DWP pay.

If I work for 2-3 weeks, when the temp work is over, I was told I could do a Rapid Re-claim for

JSA and that my claim for MIR would also be linked to the re-claim and I would continue to get

it. Is that the case?

 

Any advice would be most appreciated.

 

Cheers

 

Tez

Nationwide require a repayment vehicle for interest only mortgages, as does every other lender now. They will accept the following as -

will accept the following repayment vehicles:

 

  • stocks and shares ISA including one previously known as a PEP
  • endowment policy
  • pension plan
  • sale of second property- Must have 120% equity of your loan in a second property, you need to be on the deeds for this
  • sale of main residence- Again you need a huge amount of equity
  • UK FTSE listed securities
  • unit and investment trusts
  • capital from Trust funds
  • Premium Bonds
  • sale of foreign holiday home - From what I can gather they have never asked for any evidence of this.

what is your home realistically worth and how much do you owe on the current mortgage ? Unfortunately this is the time when an MPPI or a PPI plan would be useful to you . I would suggest going to the local branch and asking if there is anything they can do to help you

I've only about 19K equity in the property and none of the repayment vehicles above. I'll arrange an appointment with a mortgage adviser at the local branch to discuss my circumstances.

 

I've just about managed so far, but if they will not extend the payment arrangement again, I'll be in serious difficulty.

 

Cheers

I'll have to leave the mortgage questions for others, but regarding your MIR with your benefit then yes, if you do a rapid reclaim following a short period of employment then your new claim will be linked to the old one. In effect, it will be treated as not really a new claim at all. So if you were entitled to MIR before then that will continue.

 

If you need to speak to the DWP about MIR, you should ask for a callback from a member of the Mortgages team - it's a specialist area within the department and most staff aren't trained to answer queries on the subject.

Usually lenders suggest you have a repayment vehicle in place if you take out an interest only mortgage - but I've not heard of them insisting on it. However they are usually satisfied if you tell them you intend to sell the house at the end of the term to repay the mortgage.

Any claim within 26 weeks of the end of your last claim will be an RR, provided your circumstances have not changed. But even if you're not able to make an RR, the new claim would still be treated as "linked" to the old claim for, I think, 52 weeks. As such, your entitlement to MIR would be on the same terms as before.

Hi Folks,

Hi,

 

Update:

 

August was the last month the Nationwide agreed to me paying the interest only.

 

I have two questions:

 

When my payments go back to paying off the interest and the principle they would normally

go back to £254 per month and increase of £154 per month.

 

Will that amount now increase due to the fact that I have been paying £154 less every month for 18 months?

 

Also, would it be worth me asking them to re-capitalise the arrears. I've been two and

a half months in arrears for the period the payment plan has been in place. If they agree

to re-capitalise the arrears it may buy me 3 more months to try and get myself sorted.

 

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Hi,

 

I am having to sell my house as the Nationwide have taken me to court due to arrears.

 

I have had an offer on my house (which is ridiculously low) and the estate agent keeps asking me

if I have informed my mortgage lender about the offer.

 

Am I obliged to inform the Nationwide that an offer has been made on my property?

 

Thanks in advance.

Can you give a bit more detail please i.e. are you in a position to pay a bit towards the arrears each month?

 

Would the offer you have clear the mortgage ?

Could the estate agent just be asking this to help you? Hopefully Nationwide would stop repo proceedings if you have a firm offer?

 

Hi, that could be why they are asking.

 

What I'm not sure about is whether or not I'm obliged to tell the mortgage company I have an offer, as basically it's far below what I think my property is worth and I'm holding out for a better offer.

I think you should write to the lender telling them you have put the house on the market - include a copy of the estate agent contract, that way if you have to defend court action you can show you are in the process of trying to clear the mortgage.

 

If you need help with a letter let me know.

 

What date is the court hearing for possession ?

Thanks for the reply :-)

 

The hearing is on 7 September.

 

The lender is aware the house is on the market.

 

I have been to court twice already and had it adjourned twice to give me time to either get it sold or there is a very small chance I may have my benefits increased pending appeals for ESA and PIP, but that is in no way guaranteed.

 

When I was last in court the judge said it wouldn't be adjourned again and he would be looking to grant re-possession to the lender. I had a 6 week adjournment this time because I stated that I should know the result of my appeals in 4 weeks and it was a mistake for me to say 4 weeks as its taking longer.

 

What no one has clarified for me is do I have to tell the lender an offer is on the table? The estate agent keeps asking me if I have told the lender, which I haven't - do I an obligation to tell the lender?

I wonder why the agent has told you this. I don't know the answer but unless you have something from the court or lender which confirms this I wonder about the agents reason for this. I have heard of unscrupulous agents who work with developers and property investors giving them the heads up when properties are likely to go cheap due to repossession or quick sales being required. I suspect if you tell NW they will want you to accept the offer. I would ask the agent to advise why they think you need to tell them. Seems to me you should be trying to negotiate a better offer. The agent works for the seller not the buyer so should want to get the best price for you.

 

Are there any similar properties on the market or recently sold that you can find to compare prices?

Sorry for late reply, didn't get a notification like I normally do!

 

The agent seems to be more on the side of the potential buyer. I have decided to terminate my Sole Agency Agreement with the current agent. I am now putting my house up for auction as I think I will get at least a price nearer to what I want, even though I know it will be far less than market value.

 

Last time I spoke to the agent to say I wanted to terminate my Sole Agency Agreement, he said I would have to pay him the £99 + VAT for the EPC they did for me before they will take it off the market.

 

Their Terms and Conditions state I have to give 28 Days Notice in writing to terminate the Agreement. I have to get that to them today to get it in the Auction in a months time, or I'll be liable to pay them a fee if it's sold.

 

Are they right when they say they will not take it off the market till I have paid for the EPC? Even if I give them 28 Days Notice today.

I 'm with caro on this.

Your "Estate Agent" has a "client" in mind.

Read the "Terms and conditions" on the contract you signed with regards to the EPC.

 

You may be better off marketing it with another agent or agents rather that going to auction. ...

 

Your going too have to move fast though.

Good Luck.

I decided to reluctantly accept the offer for my property and I attended court on Monday 7th Sept.

The judge granted repossession of my property to the lender after 56 days.

 

Since the court appearance I've had an estate agent value my property to see what I could rent it out for. She says she could get me a tenant and the rental income would more than cover the mortgage.

 

Is it worth asking the lender to consider this option at this late stage or are they likely to just point blank refuse?

Hi,

 

The bailiffs are coming to re-possess my home next Tuesday.

 

I owe £58,000 on the mortgage and the house is worth roughly at least £74,000.

 

Someone that offered to buy it awhile back may be interested in buying it from me but only for £64,000.

 

If I just let the bank re-possess it, are they allowed to sell it for less than £64,000? I did read somewhere that they have to sell it for a reasonable price around about the market price.

 

I also have someone that would rent it, but apparently, as I owe arrears, I couldn't rent it out until the arrears are paid.

Is that a legal requirement?

 

I'm just not sure of the best course of action.

 

Any advice will be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Terry
