Hi guys, Been on Holiday, Sick, made redundant, Sick so had a lot going on suffice to say in the meantime MEX have been busy, After having the eviction notice cancelled they sent me a letter to say that an LPA would be instructed on my property soon ..lo and behold I get a letter from MovewithUs telling me that they've been instructed to manage the property. Now I got their letter on the 10th Feb but I've just spoken to my management agency and they tell me that MovewithUs got in touch with the tenant directly on 1st Feb And when I spoke to Ms C Hull on the 11th of Feb no mention was made that they had been in contact that early. So we now have another group of f*cking turds to add to the mix with S&W and Templetons and they haven't wasted anytime trying to scare off the tenant. I'm on the phone now with MEX trying to find out whats going on (11.20) I think this is further proof that they have no interest in "helping you manage" I mean the easiest thing to do would be just to tell my management agency to pay them direct but that would too easy and it would mean that I could hang on to my property. But they want the whole thing so that they can sell it and get you of their books. Now They're going to raise a complaint and get back to me within 15days I'll eat my mum's hat if that happens. dOOTS

this is a quote from Richard Banks when he was appointed MD of Bradford and Bingley aka MEX Richard Banks commented: "Bradford & Bingley is in a unique position, and it will be a challenging role to maintain the momentum and motivation of colleagues during the wind down of the business as we protect taxpayers and repay HM Treasury and the Financial Services Compensation Scheme ("FSCS"), whilst also treating customers and creditors fairly. I look forward to working with the board in achieving a successful outcome for all stakeholders. I have highlighted the line I think we should make it come back to haunt him

@ Pigland Do you have an address for Richard Banks rather than the P.O.Box address for Mex you can PM with it. But you inBox is overloaded again

Hi Guys, Mixed news from me, I managed to get the eviction notice cancelled. Apparently a senior management suit made the call. But having spoken to Mr Patel, they inform me that they still want a payment plan in place, otherwise they go back for another one and oh and get this they want to appoint another LPA reciever to manage the property. It was an LPA (SW) that got me into this hole in the first place you couldn't make it up.

Ok but even if I do a CPR isn't too late now the Baliffs are going in tomorrow. I need to get them called off today.

I have sent hom a couple of emails but his inbox has exceeded the limit so he can't recieve any more emails. whats a CPR ?

I was just wondering if you had a information as what I can do about the above companies. I ran across your article when I was trying to find out more info on the work that these two companies are doing. I'm about two weeks from losing my property due to non collection of rent from S&W. The story so far, I own a one large bedroom basement flat in Leyton E11 4HL. I’ve had it since 2002; I went into arrears on the property when we had a problem with the plumbing, and tenants moved out. It took a several months to chase the insurers for the funds to fix it and while that happened it was unoccupied so we fell behind. Beginning of last year we found new tenants through an estate agent and refurbished and furnished the flat for a year long rental. A month after the tenants moved into the property the Mortgage Express put the property into receivership with their LPA (receivership firm) company Walker and Singleton. They claimed it was because the Estate Agents (Pure Estates) had deposited the rental income into the wrong bank account. They took control of the property and its management without my consent and refused to discuss anything with me. To this day I have still no idea of exactly what happened during the time their receivers were supposedly managing the property. During the year before they handed me back the property I tried on many occasions to get information on the property from Mortgage Express and Singleton and Walker but neither of them were prepared to speak to me about the property claiming confidentiality reasons. I have requested many times for both the receivers and mortgage express to provide me with details of rental payment received by them last year, how long my tenant stayed and when she moved out, why did Singleton and Walker not find new tenants after she moved out, etc etc. This information is still outstanding and I still remain in the dark about what happened in the 14/15 months they had full control of the property. My belief is that at some point the tenant moved out of the property and W&S neglected to place another tenant into the property, leaving it unoccupied. Having chased W&S without success they gave the property back to ME, and I was handed the keys 4 weeks later in June/July 2009. Soon after that ME started pursuing me for an arrears total of over 9,000 pounds. After several requests for statements to show how this amount was arrived at I am still none the wiser. I started and continued to make the monthly payment from when they handed the property back to me in July although I could not place tenants in the flat due to the damages in the flat and the missing furniture. Although the damage and missing furniture happened during the time S&W were managing the property I have not received a single explanation or reimbursement for this loss. I have since borrowed funds to refurbish and furnish the property and given it Omega Lettings who have signed a 3 year Guaranteed rent agreement from the 1st Oct 2009. After a conversation with an agent from ME in October when he called to chase payment of the arrears I informed them of the new tenancy agreement and how much rent will be coming in. He insisted they would require all of the rent well above the monthly payment. I told them I had borrowed monies to repair and furnish the flat and so I could not pay them all of the rent as mortgage immediately. The agent got angry and ended the conversation by saying they will start repossession proceedings. I called MEX to pay the mortgage on Monday only forthem to tell me that the eviction notice is being served on the 20th January 2010. I have no formal notice of this even happening and of I hadn't rang I wouldn't have been any the wiser.
