    • I suggested consideration of bankruptcy some years ago. It was not well received.
    • That is a superb WS. However, I have a few tweaks to suggest. In (2) "indicating" not "indication". I think to be consistent with your numbering, in (6) the Beavis case should be EXHIBIT 2. Do you really need to include over 100 pages of Beavis?  I think that would be likely to annoy the judge.  Just try and find the bit where they decide it was not a penalty due to having an interest in limiting the time that vehicles can stay. I'll have a look myself for this bit later as it's highly likely to be in WSs from PPCs who think that that paragraph means all their charges are valid always on every occasion. After your current (7) add this.  It's always useful to refer to a judgment when making a legal point - 8.  In the case PCM vs Bull, Claim No. B4GF26K6, where the Defendant was issued parking tickets for parking on private roads with signage stating “No parking at any time”, District Judge Glen in his final statement mentioned that: “the notice was prohibitive and didn’t communicate any offer of parking and that landowners may have claim in trespass, but that was not under consideration”.   In (14) if my maths are right the CPR request should be "EXHIBIT 3".  it is missing from your list of exhibits. In (16) the two figures should be £100 and £170.  They are entitled to increase fro,m £60 to £100, they are not entitled to increase to £170.  To make it clear for the judge I would write - 16. The Claimant has artificially inflated their claim for a £100 invoice to £170. This is simply a poor attempt to circumvent the legal costs cap at small claims. 17. The Claimant has also invented a second fictitious charge, for legal representative's costs, when they have no legal representative. You also need ot number your exhibits. The rest is excellent - well done.
    • Did you ever think of walking away? Become bankrupt and in 12 months it'll all be behind you. My feeling is that you may well get nothing from the sale of the property anyway. Going by the date this thread started it looks like eight years of arrears, lender's costs and receiver’s fees on top.
    • Just to clarify - I make use of evening legal clinics. It is not always possible to see a lawyer (they have limited time and days/week).  This means questions one has may never get answered or there's weeks between follow-ups.   To be really clear - I am representing myself; I am playing at being lawyer/ barrister - which means I take help wherever I can get it (and then research it thoroughly). Ae - a judge in a recent hearing pointed out the receiver is not part of my current proceedings - and suggested I have a separate claim v the receiver. Disclosure has presented damning evidence v the receiver  The receiver against whom I have a complaint is not part of the receiver governing body.   The receivership is in 2 names - a joint one.  My complaint is directed at whom I was told is the lead receiver.  The other named receiver IS a member of the governing body.  But he has now left the company.  And the lead receiver has retired - but is still a working consultant on my case.   All the evidence shows it was the 'lead' receiver who was doing all the  work/ the misbehaviour.   But if the appointment was 'joint' would I make a complaint against them both?    I am sure that wouldn't go down well with the other receiver who is at the beginning of his career. The law is very much against borrowers.   But the evidence against this receivership is crystal clear.   I just don't know how and to whom to complain.   The places I've tried so far don't offer much transparency

    • 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.

Sorry its long but i thought if i explained the process it would be easier to get help.:confused:

I purchased a car with finance from their own in-house finance company.

Due to suddenly losing my job, I handed back the car within 2 months of the sale and asked them to cancel the sale, keep the 2 months payments i made and keep the car.

they re-sold the car within a few weeks of my returning it - they never disclosed the sum they re-sold it at, but i seen it in the forecourt advertised at £200 MORE than what it was advertised when i bought it so i cant see them having sold it for LESS than what i paid for it.

 

They took me to court for the total INTEREST PAYABLE on the finance, had i kept the car for the full 3 years.

I was attended a hearing but it had to be re-booked as the judge knew the finance owner. I never had another court date - the next I heard was that a hearing had taken place which i didnt attend and was awarded in the finance company favour. Unfortunaly I was suffering from severe depression at the time and was too ill to sort out these issues alone.

 

Due to not working and no income i was unable to pay the judgement and the finance company petitioned the court to have the debt secured on my property. I thought this was fine (in my nievity) as I didnt plan to stay at the house long, just try to renovate it, sell it and pay the debt out of the sale. This judgement was: OCT 2005 for £4200.

This has taken me many more years than intended (and still only half done) but i have now started having letters from the finance company stating they are charging 8% interest per day on the debt and they want the debt paid within 7 days in full or go back to court for WARRENT for POSSESSION of my house.

The debt is currently £5500. as of FEB 2009.

I am currently only receiving Income Support benefit at £60 per week. (actually £40 with deductions, excluding mortgage payments) - i cant afford to pay current living costs let alone pay anything off to debts.

 

I have not replied to this letter as I have no idea what to do.

 

1. Can they charge interest on the debt?

2. What can I do to fight this debt?

3. What is my next step? Write,telephone,ignore???

 

thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert but I'll see if I can help a bit.

 

First thing to do is to go back and edit your posts and to remove anything that might identify you - primarily the exact amounts involved (just change them to rounded numbers).

 

Is there likely to be enough equity in your house to pay your mortgage and the money the finance company is claiming? Remember that if repossessed your house is likely to be sold for a lot less than the current market value. If there isn't enough equity there won't be much sense in them going down that route and its something you can use with them to stall and maybe work out a repayment plan.

 

Try to get all the court paperwork together, so you have details of exactly what has happened. If you don't have any of it the court might be able to help. The staff at the courts are normally very helpful, so its worth talking to them about your situation to see if they can suggest things you can do (though they're not supposed to technically).

 

The Citizens Advice Bureau should be able to provide you with some help as well, you've nothing to lose by going there for some advice.

 

There are plenty of experts on here that should be able to help you, problem is that none of them seem to have seen your thread yet. Might be worth alerting a moderator to bring it to someone's attention, or to have it moved to another forum.

thanks blueboy

 

have done adjustments as you advised.

going to contact moderator now to see about moving post.

 

did try CAB but the person i seen there was absolutely useless - this was before it went to court.

 

unfortunatly i bought my house very cheaply 8 years ago and has more than doubled its value, but my home is the only thing i have.if i lose this i lose everything.

 

thanks for help and suggestions

they were chasing payment which i was unable to do due to ill health

they had the car back within litterally a few weeks of the purchase and sold it a a higher price than it was sold to me at.

 

they took me to court for non-payment and i attended the 1st case,

but the judge knew the owner of the finance / car dealership and couldnt hear the case.

 

i was apparently sent another hearing which i never had and i was very ill at the time and wasnt able to keep on top of the debt or chase any courts etc so it kind of all went past without my paying much attention to any of it (i just wasnt healthy enough to cope with any of it). i did give all my paperwork to a solicitor to assist me but she was worthless to the point of doing sod all. they still have all my papers which i have written and requested back.

 

I vagually remb getting land registry type papers saying that they had received a claim on the property.

all i have had since is the occasional threat letter off Finance4U which have increased this year.

I have sent them a SAR today oddly enough just to see what they actually hold.

 

any ideas?

Hi, Janmal,

 

You can apply to set aside the original judgment if you didn't receive the court forms and therefore did not know about the hearing. You need a N244 form from the courts to do this and it costs £75.

 

However, when it comes to court, you would have to come up with a convincing argument regarding why you have left it so long. If you've suffered from depression, they will want to see evidence of medical notes etc.

 

I have heard of some people obtaining set asides after several years, but I wouldn't say it's a common occurrence. So it's a bit of a long shot . . .

 

Another route may be to see if your home insurance policy has legal protection attached to it, as they may help you defend or take action against this firm, who seem to be taking the most diabolical liberties with you. Looking through the documents you have posted I would be inclined to get an expert opinion on the exact route to take, as there's a lot of paperwork and judgments involved!

 

I'm with Direct Line and there's a legal ad - on included. Apparently they will pay for legal costs etc should I get sued or pay for me to take action against someone. Not that I've had the need to try it out yet! (and there's probably a get out clause that will allow them to ignore 99% of claims!).

 

Anyway, it's worth a thought.

 

BAE :)

Have yu considered establishing whether or not this charge secured upon the property is enforceable?

Hi Janmal,

 

lets see if I can help.

 

Step 1, yes they can apply for the debt to be secured to the property, assuming you in fact owe them the money.

 

Step 2, can they enforce it? yes they can, but you will get the chance to put your side of the story as well. If you owe this money, you have to pay it.

 

How/when etc are all points of the debate, you say you are off work ill? Will you be able to return to work soon? if so, then if you make a proposition they may listen, not paying the debt will lead to further action.

 

I'll help, but I need to understand the dynamics, what was the finance agreement, how did u fall behind, what do you owe them (i don't need exact numbers, just rough amounts) and what are your current circumstances.

 

I am completely neutral in this but I will try to help.

 

Meph
