    • 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       
    • Ok, noted, thanks again. I'll share details of every communication received just to make sure.

    • 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.

Hello all Cag’ers.

I have a problem with an unregulated motor finance agreement for a Ltd company.

 

In November 2006 my business partner and myself purchased two motor vehicles for our Ltd company. The credit agreement was taken up with Capital Bank (part of Bank of Scotland).

 

Due to the economic climate and circumstances, we had to return the vehicles back to the hire company.

 

As I understood at the time, once you had met 50% of the payments (including any deposit made) you had the right to return them.

 

Upon telephoning Capital bank, they sprung the surprise to us that the HP Agreement was unregulated. This meant that normal HP rules did not apply. If we surrendered the vehicles, then we would be liable for any resulting shortfall. At the time the finance was taken out, no mention of an unregulated agreement was mentioned.

 

I received a letter from Bank of Scotland this morning stating that we are £13,000 short and they are demanding the money. They have also placed it in the hands of BPO Collections Ltd.

 

At the time we took out the agreement, the total cost of HP for both vehicles came to £46,906.80 served on one HP agreement.

 

I am sure that I have heard somewhere that this business of unregulated HP has changed, but I don’t know when and whose policies it applies to.

I have had a look around on here, but information regarding unregulated HP is a little sparse.

 

Could somebody please advise, before I start my letter writing, as I would like to be armed with a little more information.

 

Regards,

Allets.

Hello Postggi.

I hopefully have attached the scanned images of the agreement with relevant info rubbed out.

 

 

 

First pictures are a bit small, hopefully these are better to read.

 

I cant post a decent sized image, so have provided a link.

The 'hirer' in this case is a limited company. Is the company still trading?

Sort of. It is basicaly dormant now to to economic circumstances. Just ticking over, but could be wound up during the next year.

No agreement signed by a limited company can be regulated.

 

However SP is correct only if the directors signed a separate personal guarantee can they chase you for payment & if you didn't they are stuffed

We did not sign a personal guarantee for the purchase of the motor vehicles.

The Ltd company has very little in asset value, certainly less than what BPO Collections are asking for.

Although the business address is my home address, I do not want any collectors harrassing my wife or myself at home.

Is there any form of letter I can write to them stating this fact and stopping a visit(s) to my home address?

Just to be sure check the agreement as some have a small & separate signature box which is the personal guarantee

 

Assuming there's isn't a PG the only way you can bring this to an end is to wind up the company

Ok. Bit of a twist to this.

I failed to mention that I contacted a specialist law firm that deals with matters like this, back in Nov 2008, long before I came across this site.

This was submitted to Capital Bank back then, but I will need to email the law firm dealing with it to find out the progress. This was after submitting the copies of the original finance document to them.

A little embarrased regarding what they are charging me but if it gets results then I have learned a lesson to search the internet for sites like this.

 

This is the cover letter after speaking to them and emailing a copy of the HP Agreement.

This is the case letter submitted by the law firm, an SAR letter.

I don't know if the template used by the law firm for SAR is of any use, but if it is, feel free to make use of it.

 

As I mentioned earlier I have emailed the law firm to find out the progress of this and will post when I have the info to hand.

 

In the meantime is there anything I can add to the letter I send to BPO Collections, whilst this is in progress?

 

Regards,

Allets.

Is this claim is against the vehicle loan

 

Hello JonCris.

Yes the claim is for the vehicle loan. I don't know what they found, but after emailing them the relevant docs, those were the letters I received from them.

They come highly recommended by a forum member on another board. who have helped them out over financial matters in the past.

but your not liable so just in what capacity are you writing is it as a director or personal.

 

Also are the lawyers acting for you to recover the approx. £5K aware that any refund might be off set against the outstanding debt & that you may be responsible for their fees

 

Also be careful if your trading whilst insolvent you could be held liable for the companies debts

Hello JonCris.

I was just penning a letter to them to let them the situation and also as a director and company secretary. Would it be better to just ignore the letter?

If they are charging 20% as a fee, I would have thought that this would be taken from the resulting refund (if any) and the remainder passed to the finance company, or does it not work like that.

The company is not insolvent, but neither does it have that amount of money to settle the shortfall.
