    • 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.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

Hello. I am new to the forum and need some advice/help.

 

Received a letter from restons Re an old credit card debt seeking payment and issuing a county court claim against me.

 

It should have been statue barred Dec 2017 but apparently I have made payments.

It is possible as this card relates back to when I got divorced.

 

I was advised to send a practice direction letter which I did and received a response from them.

 

Can someone please advise what this means and is it worth defending in court.

My friend has offered to pay it off for me as it is making me stressed.

 

I have a mortgaged house and a car which I have been told they will put a charge on.

Is it worth paying this off or defending and if I did what are the potential court costs, would it add a lot to the debt.

 

Any advice would be appreciated. have until 5th Feb to respond.

Thank you for relying.

 

 

It was a colleague at work who suggested it.

 

Something about there is a process of 3 letters to send or something like that and it can maybe stop the debt.

 

I have searched on the forum here for Restons and is seem there is a lot of issues with them.

Hi......not the best advice given by your friend...in particular " the 3 letter nonsense"

 

You cant request any of the above until a claim is actually issued...and a claim shouldnt be issued until the Solicitor issues the following.....

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?481827-The-Pre-Action-Protocol-for-Debt-Claims-is-made-by-the-Master-of-the-Rolls-as-Head-of-Civil-Justice.-1st-Oct-2017.

 

 

With regrads to requesting a copy of the agreement...its only legally valid if you follow the following link.....and it goes to Carboot not Restons.

 

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387435-CCA-Request-Consumer-Credit-Act-1974-**Updated-January-2015**

 

Send the above now to Carboot...no more letters to Restons until you receive a LBA as described in the first link above.

 

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy

 

 

I am confused. I have had a look at the Pre-action document and is that not all the in the bumf that Restons have sent in their claim letter dated 5th Jan or am I missing something.

 

 

I can send the letter to Cabot with a PO. Does it go to their registered office address at the bottom of the statement that is in Restons ream of paperwork. Apologies but what is an Iba that you mention. I have looked at the link about small claims court but cannot see iba :-(

H Andy

 

 

Done the letter for Cabot and will send it to their Registered office in Kent as I don't have a letter from them only the copy of the Cabot letter in the Restons pack.

 

 

Strange I will try to upload the Restons letter again as there is about 18 pages.

 

 

I am just conscious that Restons only gave me till 5th Feb and then they are starting proceedings and Cabot wont have replied by then. Will Restons just go straight to issuing court proceedings if I don't respond to them before 5th Feb as that is my understanding.

 

 

If it goes to court how much more am I likely to pay.

Yes you do have the form...dont use their version ...complete the one in my first link.

 

Send your CCA request separate as advised to Carboot...its not legally valid unless you send it to the claimant.

 

If you wish to defend...then there will be extra costs....claim issue fee (£100) and Sols fee (£50 - £75)..

We could do with some help from you.

I am confused here. I didn't use the Restons form but the one on the link on here.

 

 

Why box D on a separate sheet when there is more wording on box I? I don't have anymore text to go in box D.

you should also be sending a SAR to the original lender so you can see what payments were made and when

 

also be able to tot up what was owed what was interest added to fees and thus not actually allowed etc so you are in a position to challenge the actual value of the debt.

Thanks for the info.

 

CCA sent to Cabot and IBA letter to restons have gone today.

 

Will look at doing a SAR just need the £10 to do it.

 

Is there anything else I need to do or do I just sit back and wait for their responses now.

 

If they proceed down the court route what do I need to do?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

Quick update -

 

Response received on Fri 9th from Restons after sending back the completed pre action reply form.

 

Nothing received from Cabot in respect of the CCA request (with £1 PO enclosed) which they signed for on 2nd Feb.

 

Just 1 question are Cabot supposed to respond within 14 days which would be 16th Feb going off the date they signed for the letter.

 

I presume I just wait now for their next move.

Hi

 

 

It has now been 15 working days since my CCA request to Cabot and no response from them.

 

As they have passed the legal time limit does this debt become unenforceable or can they still produce the documents further down the line.

 

Do I need to write another letter to them informing they have not complied to the CCA request or let sleeping dogs lie?

 

Also no further response from Restons after their last letter on 6th Feb.
