    • 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.

My home was repossessed following a relationship breakdown in 2008 by Birmingham Midshires.

 

I was contacted in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013 by BM debt collectors chasing the shortfall and each time I did not acknowledge the debt but i did request clarification on how the shortfall came about in a letter from a solicitor I received in 2010.

 

In all my correspondence I highlighted I was not acknowledging the debt to BM or to their representatives.

 

Two weeks ago I received a letter out of the blue from Moorcroft chasing the same debt again and then the weekend just gone I got a chaser letter from them again threatening further action.

 

I do not know where I stand now with this as BM or their representatives have not contacted me for over 6 years and I have lived at the same address this entire time only recently moving house. ir

 

Do I contact them not acknowledging the debt and requesting further info on how the figure was arrived at?

 

Or have they lost there chance to chase this debt as its been over 6 years since they last contacted me? Help!:-x

for mortgage debts the 6 years SB doesnt apply, they have 12 years to chase you.

 

Moorcroft are more than likely just a gopher so you can either ignore them for the moment or you can demand various paperwork under the CCA.

 

If they dont have it then tough luck to them but it may mean they try a bit harder to find it and they still have a couple of years to chase you

Thanks for that

 

. I will ask them for the paper work as I did that in 2010 and then never heard from that particular collector again but got another fishing letter from a different collector2 years later.

Suggest you check online to see if Birmingham & Midshires signed up or agreed to a scheme where by they will not chase Shortfalls after 6 years,

 

from memory it was a not a legally enforceable agreement,

 

but worth checking

Hi

Received a letter this morning from Moorcroft stating that their client has provided a completion statement for the repossessed property account and a copy of the signed declaration when i took out the mortgage. They state they will hold the account till 18/7 to give me time to contact them to discuss payment arrangements and if i require anything further in relation to information to contact them.

 

What should I do? Any advise will be greatly appreciated as the statement is dated 3/9/2008 and i really do not want the 12 year clock starting again or getting a CCJ.

 

Thank you in advance.

We consider whether it’s fair for the lender to recover the money if they haven’t been in touch for a long time. MCOB 13.6.4 requires residential mortgage lenders to contact their customer within six years of the sale date (five years in Scotland) to say whether they intend to recover a shortfall.

Moorcroft send thousands of chasing letters every week. They are normally employed by original creditors, as a light touch chaser of debts. They simply regularly send letters for a period, to see whether they receive a response.

 

With mortgage debts, the original creditor has already used the debt as a loss against tax. They may also have had some form of contingency insurance against the loss. Therefore anything they recover now is a bonus.

 

When people suffer from repossession, they are very unlikely to ever have the means to pay much towards any debt. Therefore the orginal creditor is not expecting to recover the debt. But of course the debt has a commercial value, as an asset which they can pass onto a DCA to harass debtors into making payments. The DCA pays an amount to the OC for a number of debts they can chase for a period and the DCA pockets the money.

 

And of course both the DCA and OC would love for a debtor to admit liability to the debt in writing. This resets the clock for statute baring.  And responding to the DCA is like fishing, with a small bite encouraging them to believe they might have you hooked.

 

If you own any assets such as new property, then seek further advice. But if you have nothing at risk, it is safe to ignore them.

We could do with some help from you.
