    • 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.

I am having this problem with KJK Investments/G Loans.

 

My situation is very similar.

I have been trying, so far without success, to appeal a hefty tax penalty over a pension-backed loan I took out (perhaps naively but in good faith).

 

With these companies now in liquidation and virtually no hope of recovering the rest of my pension, I could face bankruptcy.

 

Would be very keen to get in touch with others who have been victims of this firm.

Ok thanks, I haven't had any correspondence regarding the appeal as yet, I did however have a good talk to FCA, and they say we might have a case against the sip provider Guardian Pension Consultants for lack of due diligence.

ok they did use other sip suppliers. You would of had to get a sip then you would of told them that you wanted the pension invested in KKJ Investments.

 

Have you had any correspondence from Aaron & Partners Solicitors regarding the liquidation of KJK and G-loans.

They first wrote to me in 2012 and it's been an ongoing battle since then. At the moment I'm making a final attempt to appeal the whacking great tax penalty they imposed (which I have no way of paying). Have you been in contact with any other victims of these two firms?

After The Telegraph secures a £10,000 rebate for a reader, questions remain over why taxpayers face such a struggle for justice

A 64-year-old pensioner who faced a shock £10,000 tax bill because of blunders made by HM Revenue & Customs has won a belated refund following the intervention of The Telegraph.

O thank you, in my case I loan from G-Loans was take out in tax year 2009-2010, first contact made by tax was 2012, as far as I was concerned my tax was up-to-date and didn't know KJK and G-Loans were connected, I was only working P/T so I didn't even pay tax.

Thanks - that's very helpful.

 

 

I'll have to do a bit more research as I don't know exactly how that would affect me.

 

 

My G Loan was taken out in July 2011 and HMRC contacted me in 2012

(I presume you also got the letters from G Loans at around that time, including a barrister's opinion saying the loan was perfectly OK?)

 

 

However, it was only a couple of months ago that HMRC told me the amount of tax I have to pay as a result of the loan.

  • 4 weeks later...

am also in the same situation and facing bankruptcy.

 

The situation is incredulous as Guardian are now chasing me for annual SIPP fees which I cant pay and they are threatening legal action, they will not accept any responsibility for the situation

 

will be interested to hear more about the process of reporting them to the FCA for not completing due diligence.

 

have correspondence and copies of accounts which were monthly management accounts which I requested from KJK as I was getting nervous about their financial situation for the 6 months before they were wound up.

 

They are clearly completely fabricated and may help in any case against them.

 

you may also be surprised to learn that Greg Garratt from G loans has set up another Financial Services company,

 

s much for regulations!

I also had a letter from them for fees,

I asked them for a break down of the fees,

 

I asked for a copy of the agreement which said I had to pay these fees,

I haven't had a reply,

 

I also stated that their lack of due diligence had a part to play.

 

How much tax are you having to pay mine is about £19k

 

Donmac4 have you been or are you on going with an appeal.

I may ask the for the same information.

I know Guardian are being investigated at the moment by the FCA

I am sure they will be keen to hear that they are chasing fees.

 

My bill is about £34k

I was also told that there would be no tax liability,

there is no way I can pay as the loan was used to pay off debts so bankruptcy is the only option.

 

I am going to approach a firm of solicitors to see how we may be able to take further action

I will let you know how I get on.

 

Also considering going to the press in view of the fact that the directors of the companies seem to be living it up on our cash
