    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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.

I've been searching the forums but without much luck. Can anyone enlighten me on what to expect? It's with Abbey.

 

I'm not panicking or worried. I'll just turn up armed with all my paperwork & everything I've learned & wing it. Just wondered what to expect.

 

Thanks,

TC

Just wanted to add that I have read Haydn's thread but I'm more interested really in what it is & what it's meant to achieve than specific arguments. I'm confident I can argue my case re interest etc.

Hi TC,

 

A case management conference is to sort out preliminary matters on how the case is to proceed so for example in Haydn's it was to deal with the issues of interest. Have you got any more details on your case as to whether they have offered partial payments or any particular matters which Abbey is disputing?

Nothing unusual about it as far as I can see Zoot. It seems a bit wierd to me as the claim has been done in tandem with my hubby's claim, exactly the same letters, interest formular etc which just came back with a hearing date, no case management conference for him (& his is double the amount of mine).

 

The conference hasn't been held today (due to illness).

 

Thanks,

TC

Charges well within 6 years (bout 3 years ago) & I haven't claimed for anything dodgy (such as debit interest) back.

 

Unfortunately I'm ill, hugely pregnant & something went pop in one of my hip joints yesterday, can't flipping walk or stand (lovely).

Oh sorry to hear that. The last thing you need now is hassle from Abbey!

 

Abbey are all over the place at the moment, changing legal advisors so no telling what they are up to.

 

Did you contact the court to find out what was going on?

Hi Trundle

 

hope you are well

 

Just some quick info.I have a second claim against the Abbey for business charges.They have booted out DLA piper and are now doing it themselves.I've just had the usual part offer from them(they've copied it word for word from DLA Piper).I rang them on the number given on the offer just to advise them of the fact that they have already paid me out in full once before and delaying is futile for them.A Lady with a New Zealand accent rang me back and said that all their files were still being scanned and she could not see my details until Monday.She is ringing me tomorrow with regards to a settlement.I might be wrong but I got the impression that they were trying to negotiate and speed things up a bit.

 

All I'm saying is don't worry they will cough.and in full if you push.:-)

 

Regards

Well, here I am panting & pushing but it's not cos baby's coming..... just had a letter saying they're putting the full amount into my bank account! In fact, my claim is for £731 (including interest & court costs) & they're giving me £831 saying £100 is for court costs. If they can't be bothered to read the paperwork properly I sure as heck aren't telling them lol.

 

Thanks for your help guys :D

Congratulations and enjoy your payout... I'm sure you've plenty to spend that on!

 

All the best

Hearing for hubby's case was today at 12:45. At 10:00 the postman brought a letter saying they are settling in full :-) Hubby showed up at court, told judge about their intent to settle & asked for a 2 month adjournment, judge said 2 months was being too generous to them & gave them 1 month lol. Anotherone bites the dust! :D
