    • 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 ?

    • 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.

Hi, looking for some help, please.

 

Received letter from Cabot (Financial) in July 2006. They say I am due them £1,618.26. from a old MBNA Card.(I ignored it, can't even remember having a MBNA Card).

 

Hundreds of phone calls later (none which I answered) and 16 months later, I receive a letter from FIRE (Financial Investigations and Recoveries(Europe) LTD) saying I owe them £1,872.40. On january 7th 2008 I CCA them. 16th January 2008, they reply to my request saying. 'The Cabot Financial Group is not obliged to provide this information but we are pleased to help and have already requested the documentation for you from the original lender.'

They amount now due is £1,830.92.(How come the amounts keep changing?)

 

22nd january 2008 receive letter from MBNA.....

 

'Please accept this letter as confirmation that your outstanding balance due under the above account has been assigned to Kings Hill No 1 Limited part of the Cabot Financial Group.

All enquires regarding this account, should be made to this company.'

 

What happens now ?

 

Thanks.

Welllllll the CCA clock is ticking and Cabot/FIRE/Kings Hill, know it ;)

 

You mention that you have no recollection of an MBNA card at all, this might simply of been a rebranded job that was managed by MBNA.

 

Now with this amount of time passing can you think of any card it could possible be ?

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Hi, Ben.

 

Thanks for replying, no I can't remember what type of card it could be. On my credit file it says the account was opened in 1991.:o .Shockareeno.

Defaulted in 2004 ? Think they've been on the wacky baccy.:p .

Oh, almost forgot, they will take as 'full and final' a payment of £936.20.

 

Thanks again.

As many will know, there are many different parts to Cabot.

 

Two of their inner 'companies' are called Kings Hill (No1) and Cabot Financial (UK). One is dormant the other trades.

 

Last year, in Feb, the companies swapped names. Cabot (UK) became Kings Hill and became dormant. Kings Hill became Cabot (UK) and trades (albeit with no personnel).

 

The whole lot is 'administered' by Cabot Financial (Europe).

 

They confuse not only the debtors and courts etc, but now they've also confused MBNA!

 

MBNA have told you that they have assigned your debt to a Company that is dormant but more importantly, does not appear on the Information Commissioner's Register. (I found only Cabot (Europe) and (UK) on it.)

 

If all the paperwork between Cabot and MBNA reflects this and the assignment took place after Feb last year, then a misassignment may have taken place. As well as data protection offences. I wouldn't tell them that yet though.

 

It would also be interesting to see which company appears on your credit report.

 

The more experienced on this site will determine whether this is useful or not.

Scott, if you CCA’d Fire on 7th January then the 12+2 working days would end on 24th January, with summary offence committed 25th February.

 

Did you request a Statement of Account in your CCA request? I only ask this as this would show you what charges have been placed on the alleged account upon transferral to Fire/Cabot/Kings Hill. I wouldn’t worry even if they have added charges, because you won’t be paying them anything anyway :D

 

After the further calendar month (25th Feb) a nice little complaint to TS would be in order if Fire/Cabot/Kings Hill continue to chase you for payment.

 

You don’t have to do anything yet, just post up any further correspondence you receive.

 

TBH, this alleged debt would most definitely be SB by now (in Scotland, SB would be five years without any written acknowledgement or payment). But it’s going to be fun upsetting Cabot.

 

I’m sure our resident Librarian (Curlyben) will be in the process of preparing a very nice Bog Off letter for Cabot when the time comes :cool:

Not really surprised that the original lender is experiencing a delay - 16 years is a loooonnnng time Scott :lol:

 

Sounds like they've slightly amended their template to me. :wink:

 

You are very observant SH, but then I know you're a big fan of theirs :p

Another letter from Cabot, dated 21st February 2008.

 

Your request for information under the Consumer Credit Act

Unfortunately Cabot has not been able to provide you with the requested information within the relevant time period. We have worked hard to obtain this information for you. However, the Original Lender has not yet been able to locate the relevant information from their archives.

 

You are of course entitled to request the information direct from the original lender.

 

Your Account

Cabot shall continue to hold any action on your account until further notice.

 

What happens next ?

Although Cabot is dependant on the original lender for the information, the relevant time period has now expired. However, Cabot shall continue to request the information from the original lender to assist you with your request. We hope to receive the relevant information shortly.

 

 

 

What happens now ?(or what should I do now ?)

 

Regards.

 

Scott.

Hi, Bigmac.

 

I think I'm going to have to swallow the default.

So you think I should just get on with my life, and stop peeking through the curtains when the Postman comes :p

 

You know what I love now, I can open all my post :) and answer all my phone calls :) without my heart sinking.

 

 

Regards.

Nightmare :)

 

I paid off a debt with BOS, with a large chunk of it re-claimed Bank Charges.

I had a Standing Order paying £100 per month to Blair, Oliver & Scott.

 

Forgot to cancel the Standing Order :mad:

Realised today and phoned Bank Of Scotland, smart guy at the end of the phone say's, oh too bad, we will use that £100 to pay your other debt( that's the one in this thread, with Cabot)

 

After a long argument, regarding non-complience of CCA request to Cabot,smart guy say's, we will hold that money until we resolve the issue.

 

Can they do this ?

 

Any help greatfully received :) ( can't believe I was so stupid)

 

Regards.

 

Scott.
