    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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'm new here having only just discovered this site

 

I have a residential property with a mortgage in only my name which is all upto date with no arrears.

there is about £145,000 equity in it.

 

However i have 4 other charges on the property ( so total 5 inc initial lender)

 

these 4 arose out of BTL props that "went wrong",

banks sold the properties off way cheap, leaving shortfall debt which they then turned into secured charges.

 

the total of the shortfall debt is approx £390,000, yes i know , its huge, ( as i said the banks gave the props away)

 

so i have £145k equity v £390k shortfall

 

some questions:

 

If i try and sell the property what will happen?

 

( from a maths point of view if i did sell the property the 1st (Original) and 2nd chargeholder would be paid in full but there would no be anything left for the others)

 

and if i try sell the property, can the 2nd,3rd,4th or 5th chargeholder block it?

 

what else could i do?

 

 

TIA

How did they manage to secure the shortfalls on your private residence ? and why not on the BTLs ? After all the mortgages would have been secured already on the individual BTLs?

Andy, the BTL props were possessed by the lender after the mortgages were defaulted on. ( Long story (personal), not really relevant now , fact is they all ended up in default)

Then they were sold very quickly at way under market price, hence the shortfall on each BTL property

 

there were actually 2 separate lenders , one had 2 props, the other had 2 props as well

 

How they managed, i'm not sure , i wasnt living in the private residence property at the time, that was rented out, i was living in cheaper (rented) accommodation

 

but they managed to turn unsecured shortfall debt into secured charges ( the courts just rubber stamp almost anything as regards to mortgages/charges i've been told)

So basically they issued court claims...you didnt defend for what ever reason...default judgments......now secured on your personal property by way of charging orders ?

The actual possessions were over 6 years ago, not sure exactly.

 

I would have to check as to when they finally sold/completed

, but the charges only appeared 18 months ago

"Some people tell us the mortgage company didn’t get in touch at all about the shortfall until months or years after the repossession - or has suddenly got back in contact. We’ll consider whether it’s fair for the lender to continue to recover the money - taking into account the time limits that apply and any contact that’s been made in the meantime."

And you didnt do anything when you received notification of the charge from the Land Registry re Interim Charging Order ?

 

With regards to your initial question...the first mortgage always takes priority and is the main charge.

 

If there not enough left after sale...tough they should have done their due diligence and checked the equity.

 

But there are still further options open (subject to the age of the CCJs) for the Judgment claimant to execute the judgment...Attachment of Earnings (unless your self employed) Warrant of control to recover personal goods to sell...or..Third Party Debts Orders or even Bankruptcy.

 

See what the OB advise.

Answer: no i did not

Answer: yes that i understand but can they ( 2nd/3rd/4th) stop a sale initiated by me? because if they can then only way out then is to default on the first mortgage to force the sale, which may create more shortfall ( but it shoudn't as there is enough equity) but it will remove all the charges for the new buyer, and turn all the secured charges back into unsecured debt

 

But there are still further options open (subject to the age of the CCJs) for the Judgment claimant to execute the judgment...Attachment of Earnings (unless your self employed) Warrant of control to recover personal goods to sell...or..Third Party Debts Orders or even Bankruptcy.

They could make it difficult...shouldn't stop the sale if an agreement can be reached with the others..but you need a good conveyance solicitor and research primary mortgage lender....and priority.

Not sure how an agreement can be made with the others, if the property is sold at market price, the other charge holders stand to receive almost nothing so why would they agree? i/they can't make the property worth more than its market value.

 

On the other hand, if i just stop paying , hand the keys back (as in go down the Voluntary Repossession route) the primary mortgage holder can sell the property without recourse to the other chargeholders so they (the other chargeholders) will end with nothing anyway, i would imagine.

It is possible...if you can get the " others " to accept a payment arrangement and explain the alternative option if they dont..they may agree by consent order to remove the charges....they always have further options if you failed to honor the agreements as stated in post #11 above.

 

But see what the OB advise if you can show that the judgments were placed after 6 years from the repossessions.
