    • Will get them done asap My job changes week to week so at the time I didn’t know. 
    • You will probably get a couple more reminders followed by further demands fro unregulated debt collectors with even increasing amounts to pay. They are all designed to scare you into paying.  Don't. It's a scam site and they do not know who was driving and they know the keeper is not liable to pay the PCN. Also the shop was closed so they have no legitimate interest in keeping the car park clear. So to charge £100 is a penalty as there is no legitimate interest which means that the case would be thrown out if it went to Court.  Keep your money in your wallet and be prepared to ignore all their letters and threats. Doubtful they would go to Court since a lot more people would not pay when they heard  MET lost in Court. However they may just send you a Letter of Claim to test your resolve.  If yoy get one of those, come back to us and we will advise a snotty letter to send them.  You probably already have, but take a look through some of our past Met PCNs to see how they are doing.
    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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.

while since I've been here, but thought and update would be interesting for others and always interested to hear different opinions. Capstone took the full 8 weeks reply and apologied for the delay in producing the remdemption figure and put it down to a staff training problem and they were very pleased I'd pointed it out to them. They then went on to say they had not received all of the details of my complain but asumed I was complaining about the charges they had applied for selling the property. They went on to say they were entitled to charge what contractually they wanted to.

 

I have now made an offical complaint to FSA and waiting for them to look at it (this week hopefully, they have a one month back log due to the volume of complains)

 

I'm planning on waiting to see which way this goes, the supposed short fall is approx £3700 (of which the estate agents is £2000 more than they told me they charged, and the extra interest is about £500, redemption penalty is another £2000) I have a claim ready to send to Capstone for £1000 arrears admin fee's & charges applied to the account before they repossesed.

 

I also wonder if I could claim the HLC back on the basis they would not have to claim if they got all there money back.

did they have an insurance policy on this shortfall?

Have they sent you a full breakdown of all the costs involved?

Why was the estate agent more than quoted?

We were charged the HLC on the 1st mortgage statement, so assume they had one, I wonder if my case could be to prove it was not required as the property sale price covered the loan, so they got there money back.

 

Capstone have charged 2% estate agents fee, the estate agent concerned told me they charge 1.25% the difference in money is £2k

 

they did give me a full breakdown which I have been though and in total dispute approx the shortfall (which they have have not asked for) they show I owe

There is a facility for you to apply under the possession order for the Capstone to account to a Judge for all the money they took from the sale if you can get it in writing from the eatae agent what they charged your are in you as they paying party are allowed to see all invoices that were deducted from the balance so

Ask them for the eastate agent fees

thanks Bona, that an interesting point, I want to get feel from the FSA perhaps later this coming week as to how they view my position. I clearly feel Capstone have egged the charges and find the attidude appalling re the delay with the redemption figure as this cost me extra interest for the delay.

 

will update the thread as more info becomes available

Work in progress really - its not something we seem to have any definitive answers - and as I said when I try to ask FSA or FOS I just seem to get blanked.

 

But I think all the questions being asked are the right ones!

I need to do more research, but what I've read sounds very positive.

 

the FSA say a reply to me is in the post re: my complaint to Capstone. apparently I've not given them a second chance to offer a reply to my complaint........ so FSA will give them a bit more time. J***s they've had nearly 3 months.

Not seen the letter, just what the man told me over the phone so will see.

Thanks Jansus

Hiya

 

Cant really offer any advice, just my support.

 

Ours was repossessed by Kensington May 2008, sold £70k under market value at the time.

 

Touch wood, we haven't heard from them yet regarding mortgage shortfall!

 

Anyway, hope you get it all sorted :)

Thanks Rache, yes you need all the support you can get much appreciated

Rach - have you asked for any breakdown on fees/shortfall? My mortgage co have not been in touch at all, despite knowing my address and a letter just after the eviction saying I wanted to be kept in touch regardign the sale. My feeling is they will wait a few yeasr for us to get back on our feet and then try and take us down once again with interest added

It is very important that you do keep\in touch with the lender - they should be keeping you informed on the sale /fees etc and I think they have to return to court to obtain a money order to agree the final debt. They then can pursue this and probably will . And yes you are correct there will be interest accruing. How will you be able to challenge any costs or fees or Selling Price if you dont know what they are ?

Update

 

1. The FOS are now progressing my complaint against Cap/Preferred. Will post when I have some news. FOS say could be a while as they have a huge volume!!!!!

 

2. I sent a letter (standard template) requesting the refund of penalty/default charges + plus interest (just under £2000 in total) to Capstone for a mortgage I had with SPML between 2002 & 2003. Capstone replied this morning with standard bull***t, I will be sending LBA on Thursday as thats the end of the 1st 14day period. I intend to issue bang on 28days.

 

I have a question, who do I issue against, Capstone or SPML? do'es anybody have the correct address?

 

3. MortgagesPlc said they would not give me info about my account against my SAR as the account was joint and my dearly beloved had not signed the SAR request. Think they are out of order with this? but have re-submitted.

 

So thats were I'm at, any comments, advice greatly apprieciated.

 

Don't know if I've mentioned this before? and possibly it should be for another thread? I have a claim against Natwest for £7000 bank charges they have acknowleged but I have not taken futher due to test case. I'm aware of the recent announcement. Should I perhaps progress on the grounds of hardship? I do owe them £17k which is with a collection agency but they are not pushing, bit strange really. I presume if I issue they will counter claim our vice versa I could, if they issue?

 

I'd be interested in any comments

 

thanks Cheshirelad:)

can Anybody help?

 

I've just sent Capstone LBA regarding mortgage penalty charges on a SPML mortgage I used to have. I feel sure I will be issuing by month end but I want to make sure I issue the claim against the right company and their reg office.

 

Can anybody confirm should it be Capstone or SPML ? :)

Hi again

 

glad things are moving forward even if it is at a slow pace.

 

Reference to your other charges are you aware of the new terms of the waiver with regard to hardhsip cases? If not I will post a copy.

 

I am on another site as well and we are still getting some successes on hardship cases - again hard work with some banks but definitely worth a try.

yep your replys will come from Capstone as SPML seem to be just a shell now. According to companies house they have failed to supply their full accounts on time.

 

sorry if I'm not understanding you, should the claim be issued against Captone in their name or SPML in their name?

 

I just don't want to find I've issue incorrectly and waste time and cost having to reissue.

 

thanks for you help

Update

 

MCOL when in against SPML for cica £2K, at the 11th hour they submitted a defence saying the claim was statue barred as the charges were more than 6yrs old ( charges levied between Oct 2002 & July 2003) and in any event they were entitled to charge whilst I was in arrears and I had agreed to this when I signed up for the mortgage.

 

I have to submit a AQ by tomorrow and pay another £35 fee, but have received a settlement offer the day before yesterday, offering nearly 50% of my claim.

 

They say the offer is made for purely for commercial reasons and if I don't accept it they will draw it to the attention of the court and that the court could take it in to account when assessing the conduct of a party for unreasonableness if the court uses it's discretion to order costs.

 

my other concern is they are asking me to sign a court draft order accepting their offer in full and final settlement of this matter and any other claim arising out of mortgage a/c no *********

 

Which would give me a problem if at a later date there was an opportunity to make a claim for the £15k ERC I paid when the house was sold with in days of repossesion

 

Any opinions or advice much appreciated

The way round the 'full and final' statement is to delete 'this matter and any other claim arising out of mortgage a/c no *********' and add ' of this claim'

 

Have they not added a confidentiality clause as well ? if so simply cross that out :)

 

 

saint

 

Thanks Saintly

 

no confidentiality clause

 

I am considering the offer to box this off now, against £35 AQ fee tommorrow, a court date set any time in the next 3 months. Then the possible court games etc, etc. And it could go against me?

 

I'm just about to MCOL Mortgage Plc for a similar amount then theres Preferred after the FSO have delt with my complaint.
