    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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 there.Welcome to the CAG

 

Personally I'd CCA them if it's a loan or credit card. If it's an overdraft that's a different issue.

HAve a look around the forum and read of others who have had similar problems. That will give you some ideas.

CCA Request is requesting the credit agreement you signed. Use the below letter. They have 12 working days to respond to your request and plus a further 2 days for post to arrive.

 

Have a look around the forum and read the other threads. It will open your eyes of how banks and Debt Collection Agencies behave.

 

 

Account No: XXXXXX

Dear Sir/Madam

With reference to the above agreement, I would be grateful if you would send me a copy of this credit agreement and a full breakdown of the account including any interest or charges applied. I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 [sections 77-79], I am entitled to receive a copy of any credit agreement and a statement of account on request. I enclose a payment of £1 which represents the fee

payable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

I understand a copy of any credit agreement along with a statement of account should be supplied within 12 working days.

I understand that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 creditors are unable to enforce an agreement if they fail to comply with the request for a copy of the agreement and statement of account under these sections of the Act.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

Print your name and do not sign it. Also send a postal order and not a cheque!!

Pipster, can i recommend an addition to your letter.

Put that the £1 fee is to be used for the purpose of the statutary fee and not to be used to pay into the OP's account

Benji.

Just in case you're wondering why not to sign it. It has been known that some of the more unscrupulous banks and debt collection agencies(although I'm sure HSBC don't) scan your signature and place it on a blank agreement.

whether that goes on still, I don't know but better safe than sorry.

Pippa ignore private message as the light is dawning !!

 

 

:D:D Its pipster as I'm a man and not a woman ;):D

 

When they upgraded your card and raised limits etc did you sign a new agreement? If not then its the original agreement you need. If you CCA them then they will provide you with the latest one you signed anyway. If they can not produce it, which I doubt they will be able to. Then it becomes unenforceable!! It's upto you what you want to do from there. I'm trying to pay my debts on a basis I can afford as most of my creditors are very unhelpful. So payments will be on my terms and not theirs.

Did you send it by recorded delivery? Not sure I said that or not. Just if you send it by recorded delivery you can start counting the 12+2 days from when they signed for it.

 

I haven't stopped paying with my debts. I'm not trying to get out of them just merely trying to negotiate payments I can afford instead of them telling me I need to pay more when I can't even afford some of the basic things I need to live on.

Have a good read about and see what you are trying to aim for. It all depends on what you want to get out of it.

Hi All

Recently sent CCA letter to HSBC Credit Cards, did not signed just typed OH name. Received back letter stating " unable to deal with as unsigned, please sign below & return within14 days" Also sent back £1.00 postal order.

Best advice appreciated

Help !!

My advice would be to wait the required period (12+2 days) then send the account in dispute letter. You made the effort to get your CCA and you have the proof. They have failed in their obligation to supply it ergo, account in dispute.

You may wish to send them the following.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

RE Account NO XXXXXXXX

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/2008 the contents of which are noted

 

In your letter you make reference to requiring my signed authorisation before you comply. I draw your attention to the fact that the Consumer Credit Act 1974 does not require that I supply you a copy of my signature before you comply with my S78 request.

 

If it is for Data Protection purposes then I can happily supply you with documentation to substantiate my identity to you.

 

However, please note that the above address is the one which you normally use to communicate my private business to me and which you have hitherto found to be acceptable.I have to ask if you are concerned that you are corresponding with the correct person why has it taken so long to raise this matter.

 

As you are aware, disclosing data without adequate checks of identity is contrary to the 7th principal of data protection, listed in schedule 1 of the Data protection Act 1998:

 

7. Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.

 

My request for a true copy of my credit agreement under section 78 was made on xx/xx/2008 and the 12 working days for your compliance expire on xx/xx/2008. I note that there is no provision that removes the requirements of the act to provide this information on time, even if you are unsure of my identity.

 

I look forward to receiving the documentation requested.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I await your rapid response.

 

Yours Faithfully,

HAVE YOU BEEN TREATED UNFAIRLY BY CREDITORS OR DCA's?

Hi, HSBC provided me with CCA's without a signature but no way would they provide the docs requested in the SAR - in the end I typed a random line of symbols such as !"£$%^%$£^&*() and then signed over it so that they couldnt copy it.

Good luck

Recent utility bills or a copy of one of their threatening letters regarding paying the account should be sufficient to identify you even for a SAR. A signature is not required.

 

If these documents aren't sufficient for them I find that getting a court order forcing them to comply suitably identifies me.

thanks rory too for the above letter I will use it also, One thing Im unclear about is, should you allow 12 working days or not count wkends.Also what happens if you lodge the claim at moneyclaim online and pay your 120.00 then just before it goes to court they miraculously come up with the agreement, do you loose eventhough they didnt supply it in the time period required and do you also loose your 120.00 and get a bad credit rating on your credit file.Can they then take away your rate.. mine 3.9 for life of balance and also make you pay the whole lot back because they are naffed off with you.skeggsy

You usually find that if you upset them in any way, like asking for your CCA for instance, they start doing things like reducing your limit to the current balance, finding something in the T&Cs that says they can increase the interest rate etc, so dont be surprised if any of this happens.

 

On the bright side they may not have an enforceable agreement, depending on the age of it.

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

It's 12 working days so you don't count Saturdays, Sundays or bank holidays.

 

Also what happens if you lodge the claim at moneyclaim online and pay your 120.00 then just before it goes to court they miraculously come up with the agreement

Why are you lodging a claim?
