    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • 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 have received a lovely SD from Capquest today. Wonderful, just when I was starting to feel better again - another panic attack, anyone?

 

It was dated 7th August and only received it today so those 18 days are now down to 13 days. Great.

 

However, I have disputed the debt with Capquest on several occasions due to the OC not providing me with a copy of the CCA when requested. They have now sent me an application form, statements and copies of the T&C's from 2003 - however, I took out the card a couple of years earlier than this. Apparently, they have been charging me interest since they took over the debt (I've seen no notice of assignment) ad this is the first time I ahve seen this info.

 

Basically, do I have any grounds for asking for the SD to be set aside? I'm still not doing too well at the moment and my head feels a bit cloudy so I'm not exactly on the ball with what I should do next.

Here is the application form they sent - can you tell me if it's enforceable as a CCA as I don't want to get caught out: http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s338/Tiggy-poos/capquestapplicationscan.jpg

I would say also unenforceable.

 

I would try and get is set aside on the basis you dispute the debt and capquest have failed to produce any valid cca and full statment of account.

Its not enforcable as it has none of the prescribed terms on it. These must as far as I am aware be contained within the four corners of the agreement and not as seperate T&Cs.

 

Failing to produce a valid CCA is reason enough tho have the SD Set Aside

I thought not - tahnks guys.

 

Any idea how to word it on the form? i'm going to pop to the court tomorrow and sort it out. Will it cost me anything (apart from the bus fare!) to do this? If so, can I reclaim the costs from Capquest?

The time limit starts on the day the statutory demand is served... which is the day you recieve it. i take it this was a first class post SD? In which case they probably aren't too serious anyway.

i will be off site for the next month or so. if you have any problems, feel free to report the post so a moderator can help you.

Those of you who know what I precarious emotional state I've been in recently would have been very proud of me today.

 

I telephoned the court where Capquest said I had to fill in the forms (about 50 miles away) and was told I could do it at my local court. BONUS!

 

I got the kids ready and, in my state, managed to leave everything at home. Fortunately, I remembered before I got on the bus and so went home and retrieved everything - i managed to catch the next bus.

 

Bus journey was a nightmare as I had another full-blown panic attack, but this time with no where to hide and breathe into a paperbag. But I got through it - didn't get off the bus, didn't turn round and come home, I got through it. I am proud of myself for that when every instinct was telling me just to run away home.

 

Fortuantely, the court is about a mile outside the centre of Canterbury, so I had a long walk in which to somewhat calm myself. I was still shaking when I went in, but the court staff were absolutely lovely with me.

 

I filled in the form and I think i did an OK job of it. i basically stated that the original creditor had been in default of my CCA request since February 2007 and I had invoked the complaints procedure at Capquest and they were well aware of the breach too. I quoted the relevant sections of the CCA 1974 (all prepared before hand) and my parting shot was that in my opinion Capquest were persuing this route as they knew it would be unenforceable in the small claims court. Hit panic again as while I was swearing the affadavit, my two year old wee'ed all over one of the chairs. They were very nice about that too.

 

I was obviously agitated, but the lady at the counter was lovely and took my phone number and promised someone would look over my form and phone me if there was a problem. Job done, feeling weak as a kitten and with a slightly damp child, I headed home.

 

I know many of you have gone through horrendous court cases etc., and I'm not for one minute comparing this, but for me at this moment in time, this was a big achievement and I want to say a big thanks to this site because if I hadn't gained all of the knowledge I've gained over the last couple of years, and hadn't had the support I'd had over the last couple of years, i probably would ahve taken out a loan and paid them off just to have some peace. Thank you all.

 

Clarity, if you're reading as I am well aware you have been - the lettter's in the post!

Thanks guys - I do feel slightly guilty that the court has a chair smelling of wee though!

 

One funny point was when I was desperately trying to fill in the forms and very upset, a judge walked in. He had a brief word with someone at the counter about something and I think they told him I was distressed. he sat for about three minutes, in full gown and wig doing Donald Duck impressions for my children!

 

What a lovely guy.

That is the best story ever. My child loves going to the court buildings with me- security guards, big metal detectors and people in funny costumes (hopefully judges). Heaven for a toddler.

 

Tiglet, I really admire you- I hope if and when I have to deal with a SD, I manage to do it as well as you. I had hysterics for about three days trying to do my court bundle for bank charges.

Nationwide-A&L-Halifax 1-Student Loans Company-NatWest-Virgin Media-Link-Capital One ALL WON!

Thames Credit -statute barred sent 13/11/08

BCW- prove debt letter- 14/08/08

I don't think those were impressions, they actually talk like that, :)

 

On a more serious note:

In case anyone wants to see what a SD from Caqpest looks like I've scanned one in. Hopefully it is identicle to the one Tiglet had.

I'm not thread hijacking as I don't need help per se, just letting the people know what they look like and if indeed anything is wrong with them.

Mine DID come by 1st class.

EXACTLY like mine (apart from the particulars and date).

 

Don't think you are hijacking at all sweetie - have you applied for this to be set aside yet? Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can.

 

Very funny to think all judges sound like Donald Duck!

No doubt you will follow the advice of Most members on this forum and apply to have this joke set asoide. You should ask the court for written explanation from these clowns as to why they were unable to serve the SD personally

Swines have just done the same to me :eek: Do they know who I am and that I have mates in high places like KM - the honorary member of the Cabot Fan Club? :D

 

Must be getting desperate for cash if they are sending these out ten a penny. I may have to compare notes with a few of you, not had one of these before :mad:
