    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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.

its possible, just think its very coinsidental considering the problems im having with Natwest. As i have had no response from them yet, just wondering what there doing in the background..... would the DPA request i have requested disclose any kind of intervention and checks like this

It should do if you have made a full SAR request. When did you make it?

 

Have you made a request from Natinwide also?

I thihk that it would be a good idea and then you may be able to match data or see where somethings might be missing.

 

When did you make your SAR?

I havent made a request to Nationwide, i may well do that. I might call the woman who rang me in the first place and ask just ask her up front. Ive never had any problems with Nationwide always been quick to sort any problems - so ill try route one first.

 

Will the DPA request contain data such as any investigations and phone calls made such as the ones the other week. Is that what is meant by manual intervention

Just an update - I have recieved the DPA information back, after 41 days. But it does not contain the "manual information" data. I would consider this a vital part of my forthcoming claim as it should/will show every time i have contacted them. branch visit, letter or phone call - as this complaint is the best part 16 months old i expect the log to be quite large and quite damning.

 

How can i proceed now, can i take this as a failure to comply with the DPA request, if so how can i proceed?

 

Thanks

Dear Ms King

 

 

I am writing in response to your letter dated 25 April 2006, in which you assured me of a response to my complaint by the 15 May at the latest. As you have failed to do so I am now not willing to co operate with you any further I have tried my up most to conduct myself fairly and give you (Natwest) every opportunity to rectify this situation that was brought about by a complete failure to act once I had reported suspicious activity on my account. Please note this was reported in the first instance to you as far back as January 2005.

 

You have failed in your commitment to provide me with a safe, reliable and efficient banking service, which is written into the terms and conditions of the contract I signed with you on opening my account. You also have failed uphold the standards you agreed to when signing up to The Banking Code. You have also failed to comply with a DPA request, which was sent on

the 29 March 2006, please see attached evidence.

 

I calculate you have taken £240 in charges from my account since April 2004, I am now demand these be paid back. In addition £750 to cover costs incurred over the past 18 months. Please note this is not a request for compensation for either failing to comply with the DPA request or what I consider to be a breech of contract. In addition I still require my account to be re instated and a full written apology.

 

I feel exhausted and cannot continue going round in circles any further. I feel you have humiliated me into taking action please understand this was my last resort. If I do not receive confirmation from you within 14 days agreeing in full to my demands I will immediately report you to the Information Commissioner for failing to comply with the DPA request and also immediately start court action to recover the costs detailed above and also compensation.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

I am about to start my legal claim for Failure to Comply with DPA request, Breach Of Contarct & Obvisouly Unaurthorised Chrages. Do i have to file 3 separate claims or can they be done under the one claim. Also can i claim expenses so far.... as in letters time taken to get advice etc....

I'm not an expert but :

 

a) I dont' think you can sue for a failure to comply with a DPA request...as I understand it, provided you have paid the £10 fee then the best you can do is complain to the Information Office if they don't give you the info after 40 days.

 

b) Breach of contract - can you expand on this?

 

c) Unauthorised charges.....don't you mean unlawful charges?

 

 

Also I don't think you can claim for expenses.

I'm not an expert but :

 

a) I dont' think you can sue for a failure to comply with a DPA request..

 

Please take a look in our TEMPLATES Library.... We actively recommend people take this route!

 

The actual damages is negligable, i.e. it should cover the cost of the failed request for £10 and possible very small other costs for any letters issued to chase them up initially, but there will be no greater costs awarded. The primary aim is to get a court to force compliance and if enough cases come to light, the banks will hopefully get the act together and stop refusing valid requests.

 

In response to the original questions...

 

Finally, no additional costs for your time, I'm afraid. Small claims court actions are designed to bypass the usual costs asociated with court action.

 

Separate claims for the DPA and charges. The DPA will have to be with a N1 form in person at your local county court. You can print off a copy of the N1 in the Templates Library and also copy/paste the DPA Particulars of Claim into it and then print off 3 copies - 1 for you and 2 for the court.

 

The charges can be done online if you wish, but since you are going to have to go in person to the court, you might as well do that in person too.

 

What do you mean by "Breach of Contract" as a claim?

 

Finally, no additional costs should be claimed, I'm afraid.

My problem is probably quite well know as i have been on the site for many months, i cannot find my original thread. Basically i had fraudulant activity on my account in Mar 2005, it has taken to this point to get the most of the charges back and get my acocut number changed. There are still £240 of outstanding charges plus my costs incurred over 18 months. I have rec the banks final letter on this on the 15 June which states they are not willing to refund any more charges or offer any more than £100 compensation, they also have given me one months notice to make alternative banking arrangements. as they say "the relationship between us has irretrievably broken down, therefore we are no longer willing to provide you with a banking service"

 

I cant tell you how pi**ed off i am considering they have only just issued me with a new account number and card.

 

Whats my next step can i appeal against this, what can i claim for when going to court. Can i claim for costs inccurred over the past 18 months. They also failed with the DPA request, as i read on the site the Data Commisioner is pretty usless.

Guest NATTIE

I read some of the threads from you're original. If the DD were set up by ebay the bank should have DD id numbers and references which should help ebay to clarify if they were yours. If not the police crime reference number should be fine both to 1) a refund of fraudulent transactions and 2) a refund of charges that ocurred as a result. the other point you made about DD mandates is a toughie because there is 2 systems of setting up DD's. 1) is that the mandate is sent to the bank who processes them onto you're account or 2) larger companies have a system called AUDDIS(not sure what it stands for but it is an automated system for setting up DD's on bank account-this can be done without written consent but some form of consent for example, vebal consent must be given.) Sorry if these things have already been disclosed for you.

Hi

 

They have said they cannot track down the source of the direct debits (the originator) they have refunded me £500 so far but have refused a further £240, which is made up if unlawful charges and charges relating to the fruad. I gave them a crime ref number they have admitted in writing they failed to act upon the information. Which is where i believe the breech of contract comes in, I want to go to court but not sure if i have to file for all these things seperatly, i.e Chrages and costs and breech of contract

Guest NATTIE

Have to say that the filing of claims is outside my field of knowledge as I am what I am named. I would suggest a word with customer relations because if someone has admitted a failure to act on information given then surely all charges that resulted from the fraud are owed. If not, follow the normal steps taken by others
