    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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 received a letter from a DCA titled Notice of Collection Visit. It says someone will visit, not may, but will.

 

Bit of background info.

 

OC have a CCJ against me, they tried to get a charging order but failed on account of the fact I live in a rented house. The judge ordered that I continue with the small monthly payments I was making. This I have done without fail. Without any NOA a DCA wrote saying I had missed payments, I phoned them to say I was still paying OC as instructed by the court, I said I wouldn't deal with them until debt was legally assigned to them. I also told them on no circumstances to send a doorstep collector.

 

Assuming someone does turn up what would be the best way to handle the situation and cause the DCA the most pain.

 

Thanks

If it's the subject of a CCJ, then no ****** self-important DCA can make you pay anymoreI think you are correct in refusing to deal with them. I would also send a stiff letter of complaint to the O.C. and contact T.S. the O.C. is acting in breach of the OFT guidelines. it's not the DCA's fault as they will be the normal ignorant walloper with not a brain cell between them

Send the letter mentioned by rooster.

 

IF they turn up you don't have to open the door but if you do open the door tell them to s0d off, there is absolutely nothing they can do about it, they have absolutely NO powers at all. Do not get into any kind of discussion with them, give them 5 seconds (or 10 seconds if you have a particularly long driveway) to get off your property otherwise you will call the police (local number not 999) to report a breach of the peace.

Tesco obtained a CCJ against me about 2 yrs ago. I was ordered to pay £7/mth. A month ago they sent a statement with the balance of the loan at nil, it had previously been about £11K, I am assuming they are going to sell the debt. My question is, what happens about the CCJ considering the account balance is now nil.

 

Hope that makes sense.

 

Thanks

The CCJ will still be valid until the debt is repaid.

 

Unfortunately, if it had crossed your mind that you didn't have to pay any more (which I'm sure it hasn't); then it would give Tesco a very good reason to go for a possible Charging Order (if you own a property that is).

 

Bloomin' 'eck, I'm sounding like a DCA here.....full of "if's" !!! :eek:

What if you own a property but there is no equity plus your mortgage is up to date - can a creditor force a charging order on you then?

I’ve been paying a CCJ off at £7/mth, 2 mths ago I received a statement from the creditor saying the balance was nil, I know I still owe about £11K and assumed the account was to be sold. I didn’t cancel the SO I’d been paying and the next payment went out. Today I received a letter from my bank saying the £7 had been re-credited to my account because the receiving account was closed. I’ve heard nothing from the original creditor or any buyer. Any ideas what’s going on? should I cancel the SO? Is this some kind of wicked DCA plot?

Thanks

Make sure that you keep the letter from your bank safe, should they make any claims that you haven't paid, you will have proof that you did and the error was at their end.

 

I would suggest that you write a letter qrequesting clarification of the status of the account from the company you have been paying.

I had a CCJ registered against me in 2008, after receiving papers from Northampton and admitting the debt. I can't find any paperwork for it now. The creditor then applied for a charging order which I successfully defended in my local court, I won on account of living in rented accomodation. I can't find any paperwork for that either.

 

I'm really annoyed with myself because I'm usually very organised with paperwork.

 

Would it be possible for me to get copies of the paperwork from the courts? how would I go about it, as I don't have any case numbers etc?

I received a ccj on a cc debt 6 years ago.

 

 

I made the small payments that the judge ordered,

then after a few months they took me to court again to try and get a charging order on the house.

 

 

Trouble was I was living in rented accommodation.

 

 

After a few more months they sent me a statement saying the account was closed.

 

 

The direct debit was still in place but it was returned to my account.

 

 

I sent them a letter asking what was the status of the account, they ignored this.

The next DD was returned so I cancelled the DD,

I haven’t heard anything from anyone re this account in the past 5 years.

 

Could anyone shed any light on whether they can resurrect this ccj’d account

even though there has been no activity for the last 5 years

and they have said the account is closed with a nil balance.

 

 

I ask this because I may soon have a financial interest in a house

and I don’t want to get a charging order on it.

 

many thanks

The original debt was a personal loan (not a CC) with Tesco finance, it was Tesco who took me to court both times. There was still over £10K owing.

 

The CCJ was in September '08, they tried for the charging order about 2 months later.

 

I received a statement showing the balance as nil and the account closed in November '09. The last DD payment was October '09.

Do you regularly check your credit reference files? If so does this debt show on them.

It seems to me that this account may well have been sold on.

I’ve looked on noodle and this account is there, showing the lender as Tesco, no other names appear.

 

It shows a defaulted date of 30/10/09. It appears that Tesco have defaulted the account then closed it 3 days later.

 

I still need advice whether someone can reactivate the old ccj.

 

Thanks
