    • 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.

HI Blackie,

 

With reference to your post on assignment.......we have to be clear that Swifts accounts stated that they "SOLD" these accounts ( mine was one them) they did not assign them and I have a letter from John Webster stating that actual fact ..................that it was not a "legal assignment" Swift retained all Title rights.............that is just pure wind.......Swift received a LORRA LORRA LORRA money for the sale of these mortgages ......you can't sell your house and still say you own the garage unless it is in the deal..........Mr Webster then went on to contradict himsef again by saying it was purely an internal accounting transaction..

 

The man is in trouble.

Someone sent me a Swift agreement with 4 different interest rates on it .the copy I have is a bit blurred .and I'm not sure who sent it to me , can the member who has this agreement send me another copy .as it will be another Nail in Mr Whites box

 

It's O.K. Folks it was sweetjane and I have found the clear copy ...panic over

Mark White said this on the stand

 

“ That it was not the practice for a credit agreement to show or attempt to show a series of different interest rates which could be said to be applicable” and went on to say that it would have been misleading to show or attempt to show such in the instant case”.

 

Mine showed 1 rate only ...I have another that shows 2, and now have another that shows 4 ......ALL Swift agreements

Complaint form regarding Mr Falkowski's part in my case and dispute has gone off to the Bar Standards Board along with copies of all docs .

 

Does not cost anything to complain and stand up for justice....this is going to take up a lot of Mr Falkowski's time defending my complaint.

 

He is trying to pass the book" on to Swift legal............I received this e-mail from Mathew Payne

 

Mr Falkowski's clerks have forwarded to us the emails that you have sent to rthem recently. As Mr Falkowski has acted for Swift in its case against you, he is not at liberty to discuss with you bany issues in your case. All communications about the case should be made through Swift Group Legal Services.

 

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

Matthew Payne

 

Notice the spelling!!??

 

I sent this reply............Because Mr Falkowksi has a code of conduct to comply with

 

 

 

 

Dear Mr Payne.

 

This therefore, will have to be an issue between ourselves Mr Falkowski, and the Bar Council Standards Board to whom a complaint will be made tonight.

 

Yours sincerely

There is another complaint to the Legal Complaints Service about MR Payne in the process regarding the Witness statement of truth he made attached to the initial claim Form ;)

 

This complaint will surround this e-mail I sent Mr Payne a while ago

 

Dear Mr Payne,

 

Do you recall completing the court documents appertaining to the application by Swift for possession of our home?

 

I wish to draw your attention to that Court Document N5 (Claim form for possession of property) which show that Swift Advances Plc are the Claimant.

 

You state on this document that you are the solicitor for the Claimant.

Being in that position you will have been completely aware that on the 18th April 2007 Swift sold our loan and “lock stock and barrel” to Kestrel Loans No1 Ltd.

 

This means that Kestrel No 1 paid off our liability to Swift, you in the position of solicitor for Swift would have most likely been involved in the actual sale.

 

Therefore you would know that Swift Advances Plc had no right to be stated as the Claimant on the Court documents you signed along with a statement of truth.

 

I submit to you that you deliberately misled the court on this extremely important fact.

 

In the Particulars of Claim in support of this application you state the interest rate at the start of the mortgage was 10.30% per annum.

 

This is also incorrect as the agreement states it was 9.84% and Mr Whites Statement of Truth ( which you more than likely gave assistance to in making) also confirms that the rate of interest at the start of the loan was 9.84%.

 

I also draw your attention to 9 (b) on this particulars of claim, you have crossed out this sub paragraph.

Why did you not give notice to our First Charge mortgage holder Abbey Plc who have a registered interest in the property. Why did you cross it out?

 

Abbey still do not know that any proceedings were taken.

 

I refer you to the fact that you being a solicitor will know the consequences of making such inaccurate statements contained in a signed statement of truth.

 

In any reinstatement of proceedings being considered being taken against us, I will be referring all this to the court and ask that you attend to answer these questions and points

 

Yours sincerely

Mr P might try and tell you he wasn't in the employ of Swift Group Legal Services at that time Sparkie, but he was at J.W.Godfrey who were Swifts in-house solicitors - he was promoted when it became SGLS at the end of 2007....baaad move! :p

SC

 

 

As he filled all this in in July 2008 he can't try and use that ploy........ he can't be that daft ...........trying to mislead the Court again:);-)

 

In any event he signed it on belalf of Swift.

"It's O.K. Folks it was sweetjane and I have found the clear copy ...panic over"

 

Glad you found it Sparkie - just logged on. Always seemed like they were charging different interest rates for different parts of the loan, then adding them together, dividing by the number of parts, taking away the first number you thought of and hey presto, let's use that as an APR!!! Now we learn they're charging interest on the charges . . . How do we begin to calculate the interest on the charges to reclaim? Before adding the 8% compensation of course? :confused:

IMO you would charge the correct APR interest to the total charges that you are claiming back then add the 8% to that total...you would claim that correct APR because it is incorrectly stated on your agreement.

 

If you can follow that sweetjane?

Sweetjane .

 

The APR shown on your agreemnt is 15.8% this is incorrect it should be shown as 18.2%......this makes your agreemnt unenforceable from the start yours was/is a Regulated one...........you should claim your charges back at this rate I don't think the court would allow you to add the county court rate on top of this .but this compounds your interest rate so I would do this.

sparkie

 

Each monthly charge add interest @1.57% and so on and so on

Sparkie spoke to my friend who is willing to have a look at the evidence you have. He presumes you will be LIP (I think that is what he said). Because the case is the county court, will you be asking for an adjournment and requesting it go to High Court. Can you send me your draft in word please , this way I can get it emailed to him today. I have pm you with some advice from him

Hi All,

 

Just a quick post aimed at the Swift people perusing these comments.

 

You have reduced your fees in an attempt to look reasonable and fair, which is probably too little too late however, but what about taking the next step and reducing your interest rates?

 

3 or 4% should do the trick?

 

It might get some of us off your back?

Too little too late. Of course in court they will profess to be not waiting for court ruling like GMAC, of course they are law abiding people, who would never flout the protocols. Let's not be fooled people, there is too much going on at the moment.
