    • depends what the fees are, typically nothing can be added once judgement is passed bar litigation costs. on document retention time limits etc at least 6yrs previous must be held though many hold complete info. as for acronyms and abbreviations ideally yes they should     
    • Still have to submit a statement either system....if they fail they can only give verbal because they failed to file and serve.
    • OP stated they had been arrested, but not charged (let alone convicted). They DON'T have a criminal record, but do have an entry on the PNC. That information stays on the PNC (Police National Computer) for life, but doesn't get released in a standard DBS. It only MIGHT get released for an Enhanced DBS (eDBS) check  ... but it would be incredibly unlikely. (The rational behind this is that eDBS's allow for 'information at Chief Officer of Police's discretion' ..... this covers the 2 'barring lists' and is also intended for the scenario where someone has multiple arrests or investigations, where safeguarding is a concern .... it was brought in after the Soham murders / Ian Huntley case, where the information known about the now-convicted child murderer may have prevented his employment in a school, had it been made available). So, for the sake of accuracy and completeness, arrests stay on the PNC for life, wont appear in a standard DBS, MIGHT appear in an eDBS, but in reality, would be the exception rather than the norm, and I can't see them being released  to a defense barrister. What then if the defence found out a different way, and brought it up in court?. Again, unlikely, but the important feature is that the judge would make sure they trod very carefully!. They MIGHT consider using it if there were other factors that allowed them to try to cast doubts as to the truthfulness of your evidence, but on its own : No way. Anyone MIGHT be arrested (if a seemingly plausible complaint been made against them)! The approach to take if it did come up is to be truthful. "Yes, I was arrested. It arose from a vexatious complaint. I wasn't charged, let alone convicted. That could happen to any one of us, if a vexatious complaint gets made" Far better that than lying, saying you'd never been arrested, and getting caught in a lie : that would ruin your credibility. I'm incredibly doubtful it will even come up, though.
    • we dont get N157 because its new OCMC but no court dont have evidence either.   Just seems a bit of a pointless wait but oh well

    • 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

I have been reading this forum for quite some time now, think all your advice and expertise is fantastic.

I’m just after some advice myself regarding an old repossession.

 

Before I met my husband (approx 10 years ago) he went through a really hard time and got into financial difficulties, his house was repossessed and sold on for a much lower price I suspect.

Over the past 10 years he has not had any letters or correspondence regarding this so we are unaware of any shortfalls.

This has been hanging over us for so long and to be fair put our life’s on hold.

 

Only the past couple of years has my husband began to be accepted credit.

Earlier this year his credit file began to improve dramatically (his score is even higher the mine) and I have never missed a payment in my life!

 

After renting for the past 10 years my question is now we are in a position to buy a property (joint mortgage)

Is this a good move?

 

I have read various horror stories!

The company he got his first mortgage through I think has since went into liquidation but was part of the FCA so not sure if the 6 year rule would stand if they ever were to come knocking over the next 2 years!!!

Thank you so much

The exact date of the Repo is very important as this is when the clock starts ticking, the normal period of time until the shortfall becomes Statute Barred is 12 years for a Mortgage.The fact that the Mortgage Company no longer exists,you can be sure that any shortfall debt will have found it's way into the grubby hands of a Debt Purchasing Agency,so the Start date is important.Who was the Mortgage Company? Also check the Land Registry to find out how much the house was purchased for.Does your Husband not have any documentation regarding the Repo?

Thank you, I will check land registry, we have tried Rightmove etc but nothing is showing up. He bought his house only 2 years prior to his repossession when prices were really high. Therefore I’m pretty sure there will be some shortfall, he has no documentation at all. He thinks it was with GE home lenders. His last payment was in April 2008, he thinks it was sold a few months later. Thanks for your help.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Most GE Mortgage ended up in the hands of Kensington Mortgage, as there has been no communication from anybody,and your Husband has no documentation,which from experience is usually full of unexplainable charges,should any company surface demanding shortfall money, contact CAG first before making any contact.

We have checked and they are both good.

No defaults or anything.

 

We have been accepted for a joint mortgage but I’m petrified it will open a can of worms, if we were to go ahead and buy a property and a DCA were to contact us at our new address, could after 10 whole years they have any authority over our new property?

 

Surely they have had 10 years to contact him,

he has bank statements going to our current rented address for over 7 years,

he has been on the electrical role for many years now

and has had a loan through his bank for over 2 years.

 

Thank you so much for taking the time out to reply,

I really appreciate all your advice.

I read it on a different website, that’s why I’ve come on here to learn facts and get your expertise,

 

I want to be 100 percent sure before I commit myself to a joint mortgage and be one step ahead Incase they ever were to come knocking.

 

Thanks for your advice and clarifying my rights.
