    • 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 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 - 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 Everyone

 

 

Good news regarding my complaint against Quickquid. I referred it to the Ombudsman after receiving their standard response they did all the necessary checks etc, etc. I loaned from them constantly from Dec 2008 to Sept 2013 when I requested a repayment plan. Had a call from my adjudicator at the Ombudsman to say Quickquid are willing to refund all interest paid from October 2010. Just waiting for her to confirm the figure. My initial loans were fairly small so I can accept they were affordable but from 2010 onwards the amounts escalated each month. If their figure is anywhere near mine then I will probably accept it.

This is the last payday loan company I have a complaint against. Had a 100% record against the 10 claims I made and am happy to say have been debt free for 2 years.

 

 

Just want to give encouragement to others just starting their claims, its a long process but keep at it, it will be worth it in the end.

Had an e-mail from adjudicator confirming the figure Quickquid have offered which is roughly what I worked it out to be so I have accepted. Just waiting for Quickquid to confirm transfer, not sure how long they take. Ombudsman say they have 28 days.

Payment received from Quickquid on Saturday. Sent it in 7 different payments. That's me finished with payday loan companies forever. Reclaimed a lot of the interest I paid over the 5 years I used them. Doesn't compensate for the 5 years of hell I suffered but my life is back on track. Good luck to everyone currently claiming, stick at it. Its a long process but worth it in the end.

Excellent news, I will amend your thread title to reflect this.

 

Strange they should make it in 7 payments though, is this because it was 7 loans they were refunding on ?

Hi JEC, well done!!

 

 

Could I ask how long it took and what info the Ombudsman asked from you? I just spoke to the adjudicator today so wondered roughly how long before you got an offer?

 

 

The amount I'm looking at is in the thousands and just wondered if that would drag things out.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

 

I sent my complaint to the Ombudsnan in November. The adjudicator asked for a copy of my credit report. It was about a month after that she contacted me to say Quickquid had made an offer. Reading other threads Quickquid generally seem to make an offer once the adjudicator gets involved if you have a valid complaint. I received just over 4k so don't think the amount will delay things.

 

Good luck, shouldn't be too much longer now you have had contact from.the adjudicator.

Thanks for the reply... If I get all mine back I've calculated 13k with interest!!!

I'll be surprised if I get that as an offer...

Hi,

Unsure if this thread is still running or if anyone actually still posts on here? Do you mind me asking, did they email you prior to giving you your refund? Reason I ask is because….they offered to refund me ‘some’ of my charges, so I asked FOS to investigate, the adjudicator ruled that ‘all’ interest should be refunded, QQ were unwilling so it has gone to ombudsman. This process has already taken over 3 weeks (when I told it would take 2-3 weeks maximum), so I have asked my adjudicator to tell QQ I will now accept what they offered. This was on Tuesday, it is now Friday & QQ have not been in contact. Adjudicator isn’t being that helpful either L I look forward to any help. Thanks

Why would you want to accept an offer that you had previously rejected just because the Ombudsman has taken over 3 weeks! Some cases can take up to 2 years?

 

 

If the Adjudicator has already ruled that ALL interest should be refunded then that is what the company should be doing. Hold out there, I doubt the Ombudsman will let the PDL get away with it.

The adjudicator said that she would do the same as me. I wasn't asking for any opinion on my decision, I was just asking how long it would normally take for me to receive my refund. Thanks

Oh right, well if you look at other threads, then as regards to the Pay Day Loan companies they are coughing up reasonably quickly.. some of them. I suspect you might just have to wait and see. Not make any plans for the money.
