    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 current boss has a habit of bouncing the weekly pay cheque.

I collect my weekly pay off him on Mondays, I deposit in the bank same day,

By Friday, it is returned to branch.

This is happening almost every other week.

On the Friday that I find it is bounced, he then pay's me cash to cover the rubber cheque that he gave me on the Monday.

 

It has ruined my banking schedule, as I have d.d's to cover.

 

I have had two bank charges applied, which he has paid for me, but it has messed up my good record.

 

I am a bit miffed-off, my wife is fuming, and is almost demanding that i tell him I will only accept cash on Monday's instead of a cheque, until he sorts out his banking.

 

the weekly rubber cheques are around £400.00

 

What should I do, is it against the law to issue rubber cheques?

I would be looking for another job....

I'm sure it is against the law to issue a cheque when you know there are insufficient funds but I can't remember which law...have you told him you want cash not cheques in future?

I would also suggest you look for another job. Think of the future when there is no cash to give you on a Friday, and it will happen, you are really going to have your good record messed up then.

 

This is not about him 'sorting out' his banking, it is also costing him money to bounce cheques, but he obviously hasn't the cash to deposit into the bank or to give to you.

 

Be wary, be very wary. Employers exist for their own benefit not for the employees.

Normally when the boss starts bouncing cheques on his staff its a sure sign of the company going under.

It is against the law in the states to bounce cheques, but dont think it is here...civil matter I think. I wish they would make it an offense.

I would be at the jobcentre by now.

 

Just~Me.

Please dont think the picture is me.!!! I couldnt find one of myself so decided to use one of the wife. :):)

Changing jobs is quite a drastic move, a polite one to one chat with the boss, mentioning that the cheques are bouncing come pay date, hence to save embrassment to the company and yourself, could payment be made on thurs or fri in cash, this approach might not work but its worth a shot, and meaning you leaving the job when its not required...

You do-not state if this is happening with just you, or other employees aswell ? How big is the company, how many employees and is there a HR dept that this matter can be discussed with....

 

Writing cheques knowing the funds are not in the said account is against the law, but saying that, if the boss is expecting payments to cover the said cheques and he gets let down, then he isnt writing them unlawfully, as he has been let down aswell as yourself...

 

Don't leave your job just discuss the matter with him/her, this might solve the matter....

If its happening almost every week as you have mentioned..... I would at least be looking in the jobs section of my local paper.

 

Its not a situation I would like to be in but you have to be firm and approach the boss, explain it cant go on like this.

I wouldnt give my notice in untill at least you have another job to go to as the boss may be looking for peeps to fire just to help keep the outgoings down. one poster said the boss will be looking after his ass first..I agree...now start looking after your own ass.

Thanks guy's

 

There are 4 of us plus the boss, so quite a small company.

 

He seems genuine guy, but who can tell.

 

Well, I have made up my mind to leave.

I am not due back in work until Monday 7th, so I will just work a week or two, then give him a weeks notice.

 

I have booked a holiday for almost 4 weeks in Cape Town, from mid January, so when I get back I will look for another job.

 

I might have a job in the offering, so all is not lost, it is with a client that I worked for when I worked for the guy I work for now.

They said, (prospective employers) I have to leave where I am now, before they will employ me, leaving a gap, as it will look "head hunted"

So this holiday will be the "gap".

 

I just can't carry on in the current job with all the uncertainty of getting paid,

 

I also know that we are on "stop" with our 2 biggest wholesalers where we buy 99% of our material.

Now I am worried !

Good luck Firebird, I'm sure it will have worked out in your favour. In hindsight the boss may have done you a favour by involentarty forcing you to leave.

Have a nice break in the sun. :):)

  • 1 year later...

Hi all

{sorry to jump on your post m8}but the same is happening to me and others where i work,some people havent had there money for 3 weeks,as cheques keep bouncing..this is very stressful and i have bills to pay and did have a almost perfect credit rating,but its hard to keep juggling money about so bills get paid etc when u int got anything coming in...

 

 

we have spoke to the boss,and his first answer was if u want to work somewhere where u get paid on time u know what u can do..

 

he second answer was if u want to be made redundant then just say ;-( none of which any of us can afford to do,we just want to do are work and get paid for it...i am looking for another job,but i get paid well here{when i get my money}and i am not qualifed to do anything really,so making it very hard to find another job full stop let a lone one with similar pay,but will keep trying of course...

 

i just wondered if there is anything at all i can do??as there seem to be no talking to the boss,there are about 15 of us in this company we dont have a manager,union rep or hr dept ;-(

 

 

thanks in advance

By the number of employees I take it this is a limited company.

 

Have you noticed any downturn in the amount of work you are doing? this will give you an indication if the company is struggling.

 

The pay cheques, are they proper bank cheques or are you just calling your pay chit a cheque.

A proper bank cheque is a promisary note and cannot be backed out of, even by a court, so look after them if that is what you are meaning.
