    • Wait for more replies, but that letter to me can be interpreted as a letter before action. Ignoring it can have consequences. The court to impose sanctions for failure in responding to a letter of claim.
    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂

    • 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 have been ill for 2.5 months, with stress and gastric/gallbladder issues

 

I had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks ago. I am about to return to work.

 

I get severe chest pains from stress still, and I am concerned how I am going to cope back at work

 

my gallbladder operation has been successful. I get the odd twinge of pain on right side, but nothing like before. I feel like I am still on mend from this, but is going in right direction

 

stress levels at work were high when I became ill. I fainted at work, had viral infection, had terrible GERD.

 

thing is I have not had any official communication from HR about returning. Only brief conversation with my line manager about what day I would return.

 

I feel low on energy at minute so forgive me if I have not given more detail, but I would like to hear from others who have been off sick, even if in part due to stress at work. How you were treated when you went back?

 

Did stress levels reduce? Did you end up staying with employer?

 

all advice welcome. I am not sure what I should say to my colleagues when I return this week. My line managers are out of the office this week. It is a large company I work for

Sorry, because your aren't going to agree with this. Unless you have a specialist opinion from someone who has observed you at work, you have an unspecified anxiety disorder. PROOF that your workplace has caused "stress" (an entirely not useful diagnosis) is required. And that is very hard to obtain. So what have you done to discuss with your employer the fact that you allege they are fully or partially responsible for your condition? They aren't going to stick their hands up and admit it. So of course they aren't interested in anything other than "you were off sick and your return date".

 

Why do you need to say anything to your colleagues? You were off sick. You had an operation. Beyond that it isn't any of their business. And I wouldn't recommend going any further than that. If you have a dispute with your employer, that isn't anything to do with them. And you don't say anything they may repeat.

 

In my experience, stress levels won't reduce. What I'm not clear about is, why you expect they might? There's a gap in here somewhere. You are suggesting its their fault - but you don't appear to have told them that, proven that, or done anything to say that you are not happy with the situation? Not getting at you - but nothing changes if you don't say something!

Hello Janus,

 

If I were you, I would be asking for a 'return to work' meeting, preferably before you are actually due to return. This will give you the opportunity to discuss things that have happened during your time off, discuss how best to get you to settle back into your role and a chance to air any issues. I would avoid going down the "it's work's fault I was stressed" route, even if you can prove it as they will not admit to it. A better strategy will be "I was finding this difficult before I went off sick, can we see if there are any better ways of doing this?"

 

I don't know your colleagues, but I would think that most of them will just be happy to see you back and will not be particularly interested in the details as to why you were off.

 

Having been in a similar situation, I feel for you. But your employers will want to see you present them with solutions for dealing with stress levels at work rather than present them with problems and expecting them to fix them. It was only after I started to think about the things that *I* could control and that *I* could change (and I'll be honest, I started looking at my own personality traits) that I started to see better results at work. Admittedly I've also had some good fortune with a bully colleague leaving and getting a change of duties but I wouldn't say my stress levels are reduced, just that I'm dealing with them more effectively.

 

I presume you are currently on a fit note which is due to run out? Have a chat with your doctor, they may be able to suggest a phased return to start with, and they may be able to suggest some ideas on dealing with stress/anxiety (something like CBT maybe?)

 

Good luck.

Any pearls of wisdom that I give on the CAG forums is based on previous experiences and knowledge I have gained from being on these forums.

I have practiced CBT, is very good

I did return today and my colleagues were pleased to see me

 

my line manager back next Monday, we will have positive chat. I have expressed my areas of concern about my job before I went sick. I think there will be a mutual understanding and a way forward

 

thanks
