    • 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.

Well it's pretty much MBNA bashing, combined with a bit of working out if agreements are enforceable, a bit more MBNA bashing, then something random seems to happen and we all end up going off on a tangent for a bit, then back onto agreements and DN's, finishing with a bit of ridiculing MBNA:D

 

You're going to have to be a bit more specific with what bit you're after a summary of...:D;)

Time flies like an arrow...

Oh Ok, thanks for the info. Have we come to the conclusion that the MBNA pre 2006 agreement is a farce then? That would be great wouldnt it? I have over 15k stuck on a card with them and they are really turning the screw on me.

 

Check out my post re: Interest rate rise with option to fix the rate!

 

Anyone had anything like this from them? Can they do this?

 

obviously - the best thing is to fix the rate but knowing that the amount of 15k at 25.9% will be stuck on the life of the card is hard to swollow if later on the rates drop! Could this be the plan, to get high borrowing customers to stick to a high rate and drop the APR to a lower point later on when we have all fixed our rates?

 

Please take a look at my thread - should be at the top somewhere.

 

Thanks again.

I would rather use CAG - lot more sense and action.

 

GK

 

As an aside thinking about the word bit reminded me that the word with the longest definition in the OED is 'set'

 

 

"forumbox_top_left.gifforumbox_top_tile.gifforumbox_top_right.gifforumbox_left_tile.gif The Financial Ombudsman Service For the most part, don't bother.

The Ombudsman is an industry arranged service which is under-resourced, takes too long, lacks clear transparency.

You have no idea what evidence the FOS has received from the bank or how your complain has really been handled.

The FOS is the preferred complaints route for the banking industry.

The county court is to be preferred by consumers for its speed, openness, the quality of its awards and also because it will award 8% interest on top of any damages won by you.

 

The Ombudsman should normally be used to solving little technical difficulties or customer service problems which you have expereinced with your bank."

 

Where did that ^^^^ come from?

Hello Landy!

 

Could be interesting, the more samples we can dig out, the better.

 

Maybe CitizenB can start adding Card Carriers to the Thread that she is building up showing a nice collection of dubious MBNA Agreements.

 

But the Card Carrier issue is one that we must not let them get too excited about...the main issue as far as pre-CCA 2006 Agreements are concerned, is they must have a piece of paper signed by the Consumer, that contains the Prescribed Terms within the four corners of it.

 

The Card Carrier nonsense is just a diversion, and a classic example of the Debt Industry trying to reverse engineer The Consumer Credit Act 1974 into The Debt Industry Protection Act 2009.

 

The real danger is a few more bungs to the grasping self-serving politicians, and the above could happen! They managed to castrate s127(3) in The Consumer Credit Act 2006, so who knows what they have planned for the next version.

 

Cheers,

BRW

 

Any changes they bring in couldn't be applied retrospectively, though, could they?:eek:

 

The last changes werent retrospective, UD:)

 

And always....sent it Recorded, or they are quite happy to outright lie and say it's not been received.

 

And even then they will swear black is white that they didnt receive it:rolleyes:

 

BRW, there are a couple of card carriers on the MBNA Doc thread.. but if people have others, please be good enough to pm me with a link to a post or the photobucket link and I will be more than happy to get them included. The more information we have in the library, the better.

 

Chalk itup.. yes, I agree there are some mailers that had t&cs included on the back, but I believe there were docs that folded into 3 , not the single fold.

 

I think there is still a question to be answered here. All of us signed the doc and sent it back. None of us it would appear, have had a copy returned to us with the companies signature. Should this have happened. Very few of us had the sense to photocopy the darn thing before returning it.

Agree totally :-D

 

I love looking through my grandads old b&w pics... they just seem to convey more the moods of people, I find without colour you tend to examine the peoples faces and scenery more to try and work out the atmosphere of the pic...anyway I'm rambling now :-(

oh decisions decisions, my OH has one of the "agreements" from her sony card, that used to be BOS but was sold to MBNA, that doesn't have the prescribed terms.

 

They also terminated 6 days before the expiration of the Default Notice, and have charged over £1800 in charges and associated interest.

 

I think we are going for charges and unlawfull termination damages ;)

 

Don't ya just love MBNA? they don't seem to be able to get anything right!

GKTP,

 

With reference to you post 1032 while i agree with you in the most part i still think the regulatory bodies should be made aware and find out what there take is on this practice

 

And i also agree this site does a 110% job in helping us folk out but unless we inform the authorities nothing will be done to change it.

 

As you know this country has to kick up a stink to get anything done

Hi PF,

 

I can see that but still think it is better to kick butt and then tell the authorities. I do not intend to sit and react for 6 years till they 'drop off' through SB I intend to go for them and force the issue.

 

I am sure that CMCs are working that way

Hi MBNA caggers

 

Have they changed tactics?

 

Just received a DN and the amount to remedy is the TOTAL balance :eek::eek:

 

Any ideas what will happen next ?

 

 

I have had the same today, a default notice that says the have already reported a default to CRA's and they want the full balance by 25/06/09 :lol:

 

This is definately a default notice, very odd. They say I am in breach of paragraph 8f of my agreement ???? No 8f on my application form :lol:
