    • We need to see the actual document from the IAS where it is written - "The Operator's evidence shows no payment for the Appellant's vehicle, or anything similar. It does show two payments for the same registration in quick succession. I would take a reasonable guess, based on the circumstances described, that the person paying has paid for the registration of the person they assisted again." You can't just type it up yourself. At the hearing in July or August or whenever the judge will have two Witness Statements. One from Bank's director says you never made a second appeal. You say you did make a second appeal and the IAS concluded that payment was made. The judge will immediately twig that either you or the director is lying.  But who? Fail to show the documentation form the IAS and instead just produce something you've typed yourself will make it look like you just made up the appeal and you are lying and you will lose the case. Please let us see what the IAS adjudicator sent.
    • I used to have a retail outlet in London selling my husband's photography.  We also had a co-op with staff so they weren't directly employed by me, but I paid for the other overheads etc.  When my husband died, I carried on as usual for a while but then I became ill and moved quite far away so logistically was becoming very difficult.  I came to an arrangement (verbal) with one of the guys I trusted, that I would send him the images to print and sell as normal, and I wouldn't take any money, as a short term solution until I got back on my feet and worked out the best way to do things. He would pay all the  rent, insurance etc... Over a year later, not able to give things away for free anymore,  I drew up a contract as a wholesale agreement, so I would get everything printed and sent to him and I would invoice his for what he ordered. I noticed form the beginning that he wasn't ordering enough or frequently enough to be making any money, and was suspicious he was doing his own orders on the sly and ordering just enough from me to keep my happy.  I checked with my printer, which I've been with for 20 years, and he sad he wasn't getting orders for my images from anyone else. I emailed a few other printers to ask them to keep a look out for some images but I soon realised this would be impossible to police.  The only option really would be to buy a print from him and check the stamp on the back of it.  I finally managed to get hold of on the prints on sale, and sure enough, he did not order it through me.   In the contract he signed in 2022 it explicitly states that he must destroy all files I had previously sent him etc etc so e is in breach of that.  When I drew up the contract, I was careful to make sure it was legally binding, but before I let rip at him, I need to know where I stand.  The contract is here: PARTIES This WHOLESALE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made effective as of 30th June, 2022, by and between ############################## The Supplier and the Client, collectively referred to as the "Parties," hereby agree to the following terms: TERMS AND CONDITIONS SALES OF GOODS The Supplier agrees to provide the following goods to the Client (“Goods”): Description of Goods ################################# Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b BOTH PARTIES AGREE: The Client purchases the Goods through the Supplier directly, and agrees to delete/destroy any previously held digital images (Goods) owned by the Supplier, and agrees not to use any such files for monetary gain, outside of this agreement, either directly or through a third party from immediate effect of this agreement. The Client purchases the other materials necessary for resale of the Goods independently of this agreement. The Client shall have exclusive rights for resale of Goods at ###########, and also with permission, as a retailer of the Goods elsewhere, provided that there is no conflict of interest between the Supplier and the Client. The Client is free to decide their own retail prices, for the Goods. The Supplier shall use #####  to provide the printed Goods on Fujifilm Crystal Archive paper, with Lustre finish, and will not use any other Printer unless #### cease to trade, without prior approval from the Client. The Supplier shall not impose restrictions on size or frequency of orders made by the Client. The prices provided by the Supplier shall not increase for a minimum of 3 years, unless the prices of the raw materials rise, in which case the client will be informed immediately. Any discounts/promotional prices of raw materials shall be passed on to the Client by the Supplier, and the invoice will show adjustments for this, as well as credit for return postage of any damaged goods. This agreement can be terminated by the Client without notice; the Supplier must give notice of no less than 90 days, unless the terms of the agreement are breached, in which case, the agreement can be terminated with immediate effect. PAYMENT Orders must be paid for upon receipt of invoice, via Bank transfer: ######### Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b DELIVERY AND INSPECTIONS All orders received by 12.00am (midnight) shall be processed by the Supplier the following working day and delivery of order shall arrive in accordance with the Royal Mail schedule, or DPD, should express delivery be requested. The Client shall be liable for the delivery charge which shall be added to the invoice. The Goods will be delivered to the address specified by the Client. The Client shall be provided with order tracking, and should any problems arise with the ordering system or the couriers (Royal Mail, DPD), the Client shall be informed without delay of any such issues. The Client will inspect the Goods and report any defects or damage to the Goods in transit as soon as possible upon receipt of Goods, and will retain damaged Goods for return to Supplier for refund/replacement.

INDEMNIFICATION The Client indemnifies the Supplier from any claims, liabilities, and expenses made by any third party vendors or customers of the Client. GOVERNING LAW This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with UK Law. ACCEPTANCE Both parties understand and accept the wholesale arrangement stipulated under this Agreement. Doc ID: 3d54c1d336d8780243801e0e068ebd33114b088b IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Wholesale Agreement as of the day and year set forth above.   Signed by us both electronically.   I haven't broached any of this yet, and I am looking for some advice about what action to take.  The main issue I've got is that he has still go those images.  If I terminate the contract, I will need to know that he no longer has those images and I can't think of a bulletproof way to do this. I'm thinking I might tell him I will continue with the contract but ask for a  sum in damages and say that if I find out he's still doing it down the line I will terminate the contract and sue him for damages. The damages side of things I'm not sure how it would work as he is self employed, and I'm positive he doesn't declare all of his earnings to HMRC, in order to find out how much I have lost, would the court demand to go through his tax self assessments?  I'm not sure how to proceed with this, I don't want to lose that place as an outlet as it is in a prime spot in London, which is why I let him have those images in the first place as I would have had to pull out altogether at that point.  I am regretting it somewhat now though.  Please help.
    • I cannot locate anything in my paper work that states 2 payments were made? Perhaps you could point this out? In reply from IAS it states "The ticketing data has been attached" nothing was sent to me. I made a response to the IAS all this was done online
    • Thanks again for your responses. The concern I have here, is that freeholder of the land (a company, who presumably would have been the ones to have initially instructed PPM to manage the parking here), will have proof of exactly how long the vehicle was on site for, as the driver was meeting operatives from that company on a separate matter. On this basis, if the matter was to get to court, I feel all the other technicalities about signage, size of signage/font, lack of start/finish times, will not be enough to have any case dropped? This PCN was brought up to the freeholder but they have advised that PPM will not waive this charge.

    • 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.

Thanks tembo. You are right about rebuilding the credit and I assume that in most cases the slate is wiped clean after 6 years anyway and any things that might have been on there can no longer show up.

 

I have a question about the repossession. Does anyone know how long they give you once the mortgage company gets the warrant? I've heard anything from between 10 days and 6 weeks but would rather find out from people who have actually had to go through it.

The court order

 

If the judge decides that your home is to be repossessed, the court order will set a date for you to leave. If you have not left by that date, your lender or freeholder must apply to the court for a bailiff's warrant. The bailiffs will write to tell you when the eviction is to take place, and when they will come – they also have the power to remove you from your home.

Suppose Mrs Blackadder as i remember, when the repo was granted, due to the baliff being quite busy and the legal work, took about two weeks for the letter from the baliff to be hand delivered. Then 28 days to get all cattle, goods, etc removed before eviction date. Quote--- Good grief, don't you just feel better when you've had a good grumble and put the world to rights :lol: Sure does :DBye for now Tawnyowl

From breaking my suspended repossession order to the solicitors advising me on behalf of Kensington that i had done so was about 4 months.2 weeks later the solicitors applied for the eviction date.Which was set for 28 days later.The baliff then posted the details through the door,which i knew about allready having had correspondence from the solicitors.So in my case it was 28 days from the application for possession in court.Tawnyowl.

hi Mrs B

Just read your thread im in the same boat more or less i dont know if this helps but i went to my council homeless section and they refered me to the mortgage rescue scheme its going through the process now and the application has gone through to the housing assocition so im on tenterhooks at the moment they buy your property and then you become tenant if you wish for a minimum of 3-5 then longer if you wish, these are proper SRLandlords not those quick guys. I was thinking it may not be too late for you the guy that helped me got through to my mortgage company and got all action stopped for 3-4 months ive not had any phonecalls or harassing letters since july i was supposed to have been evicted in July but with his help its all being put on hold.

 

But if you have thought that maybe this would be good for a new fresh start then go for it :) you are entitled to local housing allowance have a look online it will tell you how much you are entitled to

Hi Mich. Thank you for taking the time to read my thread. I did look at the mortgage rescue scheme, but unfortunately didn't fit into the little boxes required! At the moment everything has been put on hold as on the day that the mortgage company were going to go for the warrant, my ex decided to play ball and come up with an offer for them - the same one offered to them 3 months ago that they refused! This time they ran with it and have said that they won't go for the warrant unless we don't stick to the offer. Fair enough.

 

I know that I am still on limited time as it won't be long before the ex can't/won't pay again, but I shall use the time wisely to get myself in order. I don't suppose it will hurt any less when the time comes to get out, but it is a fresh beginning which is desperately needed. Thanks again for your thoughts. I've been amazed at how helpful and kind people on here have been, and it's also good to come across people who have been through the same thing as you no longer feel so alone :).

I don't have much to add except that I've already lost one home ten years ago, and looking like losing a second! I know that it seems like nobody cares and those that can help don't want to, but at least there are some decent and knowledgeable people on this forum. I can tell by reading your posts that you have alot going for you as a person so don't

forget that things can always change, and keep fighting. Do you have room for a lodger or two? I know it's not ideal, but the extra money could help when your ex lets you down again. I know you need a fresh start, but whatever can be salvaged will be a help.

It's good to hear that you at least have some breathing space and have time to prepare. Whatever I say isn't going to make it hurt any less but I do know what it's like to have a suspended repossession hanging over you and just how stressful it is.

 

I wish I'd have used these boards a couple of years ago..just a kind word and a sympathetic ear goes a long way plus the advice if fantastic. It doesn't matter if you live in a hovel or a mansion, if it's your own fault or not..the folks here see that it's still your home and but for the grace ....it could be them.

 

Keep your chin up and I hope everything turns out well for you, whatever happens.

Thank you for all your support and advice. It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is going through all this. I think that's the hardest part for anyone facing this kind of situation - the fact that it all feels so lonely. Thanks for the suggestion Meursalt, but I don't have any room for a lodger, and even if I did the mortgage company would stick another 1% on the mortgage. You can't win can you!! However, I have done a few car boot sales and sold off a lot of old toys, clothes and junk on ebay which has netted a few pounds to put in my emergency fund. It has also funded quite a bit in the way of school uniform/childrens clothes & shoes, a trip to the vet for the cat, and paid off a few small debts. I would recommend to anyone who finds themselves in financial difficulty to sort out anything that they no longer need and see if it can be sold. You obviously already know the horrors of losing your home, so I really do hope that you don't lose another. Please let me know what happens.

 

Crapstone, just like you I wish I had discovered these forums sooner as I could probably have saved a small fortune. However, I have also learned that even though debts have been passed to DCA and subsequently paid off, I can still claim back illegal charges from the original creditors so all is not lost! Anything I can gleen back will be a bonus. Your last comment made me smile because I recently rang a local estate agents to find out about renting. The woman I spoke to was all nicey nicey until she found out that I would be needing partial help with housing allowance to pay the rent, and that (horror of horrors) I only work part time and have tax credits to boost my income. She ended up being very rude and patronising and said that she 'didn't wish to cause offence, but people like you are not what our clients are looking for' :mad: I asked her to clarify what she meant and she went on to say that people on benefits were not the kind of people they dealt with. I told her that, actually, I work and was not living entirely on benefits and also was more likely to pay my rent because I was being given money to help with it. She really upset me, but later that day I had to ring the council to find out about housing options and I spoke to a lovely lady who said that I should ignore the woman at the estate agents and that what goes around comes around and maybe the woman would find herself in my situation one day. That cheered me up a bit :). Anyway, that is the long way round of me saying that your comment 'but for the grace, it could be them' is absolutely spot on.

 

For the first time in a very long time, I feel someone understands. Thanks again :)

Rest assured that not all landlords think the same way. There are some landlords who only rent to professional people, and some who are perfectly happy with taking on people who receive benefits.

 

Young professional people who rent often stay in rented accomodation for a short time. Typically they move to another part of the country, move in with a partner, move to somewhere more "trendy", or buy a place of their own. People on benefits often will rent long-term, treating the house as their home, and consequently looking after it better. Typically they will rent in the area where they have always lived, close to family and lond-term friends. Hence some savvy landlords actually prefer this type of tenant.

 

Unfortunately some of the BTL mortgage companies have clauses in their contracts about who the landlord can rent to, but some landlords will conveniently ignore this.

Hi Tembo. I live in an area where there are lots of students wanting to rent, and I do sometimes get annoyed that a landlord is happy to rent to a bunch of kids who will happily trash the place, but they won't rent to someone like me who wants somewhere long-term to bring up their family in as stable an environment as possible. You are certainly right about wanting to treat it as the family home - I would even be happy to do the odd bit of decorating to keep it in order, as long as the landlord agreed of course. The lady at the council gave me the name of a letting agent who happily deals with housing allowance receivers, and they were helpful when I rang them. The council also suggested that I look for houses/flats for rent in the paper and newsagents as often the landlords were more flexible. To be honest, if I found somewhere I felt comfortable then I would be happy to stay there for as long as possible, and surely that is of more benefit to a landlord than constantly having to readvertise for new tenants.

Many landlords advertise their properties privately rather than using agents. One of the benefits is that you get to meet the tenants and talk to them. Often a good gut feeling about a tenant is far more valuable than the results of a reference or credit check.

 

You could also try looking on some of the websites used to rent property, such as gumtree, torent.co.uk, homes2rent.net, estateagent.co.uk, netrent.co.uk, or spareroom.

 

If you were in my area I would definitely rent to you, I can tell that just from what you have put in your postings. In fact I would probably rent to you on the strength of your forum name, I am a HUGE Bladder fan. :D

On the strength of my forum name, most landlords would probably run a mile :D

 

Thankfully, Edmund will not be renting with me. Perhaps he has gone off to do some renting of his own (remember the episode from BAII when Edmund and Baldrick go down to the docks? Neep, Neep, Neep :D)

Here is something that I thought anyone who has managed to stop their repossession might like to hear about. Frankly I am at the end of my tether with it all:

 

I managed to stop my repossession in August. Got everything in writing from the mortgage co, saying that we had all come to an agreement etc etc. Paid them September's amount at agreed rate. No problems... or so I thought.

 

2 weeks ago I get a letter saying that as we hadn't stuck to the arrangements made by the court they were applying for a warrant and an eviction date. Rang the mortgage co who, after about 10 minutes of keeping me hanging on, readily admitted that they had made an error and would put a stop to everything there and then by contacting their solicitors. Got a letter a couple of days later confirming all this and stating that I would also be hearing from their solicitors. No letter arrived from their solicitor in the next week, but hey presto AN EVICTION DATE HAS ARRIVED FROM THE COURT. I rang the mortgage company again yesterday who again confirmed that it was all a big mistake and it is all a case of things 'crossing in the post'. They have tried to reassure me that nothing will happen on the eviction date, but why the hell should I believe them because they haven't sorted it out so far.

 

Frankly I am at my wits end. Even when I thought things were sorted for the time being, they still mess it up. I cannot cope with the strain of it, my nerves are shredded and I'm exhausted.

 

I'm just wondering whether or not anyone else has had this problem after preventing a repossession, and if so then how did you deal with it?

I experienced similar with the Abbey National, who failed to take out the required sum one month, so I paid them in the bank, then on the next date they took two payments out which bounced, again I paid one and had it in writing, so when the court paperwork came I went to the court and showed them the result, their duty solicitor rang the Abbey and a Judge spoke to them as well.

 

I would go to the court and ask to speak to the court manager and ask that the company be prevented from further abuses of the court system, for that is what it is. I would also contact Ell-enn on this site as it sounds like you might need to go for an emergency hearing to stop them carrying out further enforcement action for another 6 months - a Judge CAN grant this.

 

I would also write daily letters to the mortgage company stating that they are now in breach of their contract to you and you are going for legal action against them.... and for each letter you are charging them £25 or whatever they charge you.

 

Of course when you ge the N244 and emergency hearing you need to also ask the Judge to get them to stop adding costs and claim yours for the hassle and harrassment.

I'm just wondering whether or not anyone else has had this problem after preventing a repossession, and if so then how did you deal with it?

 

Can't relate to your experience, as I haven't been there, but my flaming mortgage company seems to have serious issues in their Collection Teams.

 

I have arrears, thanks to Car repairs being needed, and have been paying to agreed arrangements. I had to cancel the DD, as I was short for 1 month, but made those payments up 2 weeks later. The next month, the DD was still "cancelled", despite them setting it up again. I had to call to make a payment to avoid charges.

 

I've just looked now and the DD is still "cancelled", after they set it up again. This month's payment isn't going to be made unless I ring them to make it, then.

 

Absolutely shocking experience, when you think they will charge me £40 for not making a full payment each month. (Recoverable, eventually, of course!)

 

Considering the strife you're going through, you'd at least think that they'd get themselves sorted out in time to correct your issues. Considering that they can't even collect payments as agreed, how can we trust them to notify the Court of your predicament effectively?

 

Answer; I would be putting everything in writing, send a fax to avoid waiting for delivery, and ask for a fax back confirming discussions by phone. Unless you've recorded those calls, that is. I'd then be writing to the Court, including the correspondance, and asking the Court to deal with them. If you sit and wait, as I have done, it probably won't work.

Thank you for responses so far - I feel so desperately lonely in all this because although it is a joint mortgage I am having to deal with it on my own. (Other half has gone and isn't very interested in helping in any way. As far as he is concerned, I am the one in the house so it is up to me to deal with it).

 

I have asked the mortgage company for everything in writing (no, didn't record it) and they have said that they will do this. I am also waiting for the letter from their solicitor confirming that it has been cancelled, which they say was posted yesterday (Friday). I was also thinking of phoning the court on Monday to get it confirmed that the eviction had been cancelled.

 

If it has been cancelled, then I don't really have anything to go to the court with do I? Surely they will just say that it has been sorted, so I should go away.

 

One of my concerns in this is that should we default again then the mortgage company will just get their solicitors to reinstate the eviction rather than starting the procedure from the beginning, thus gaining them a time advantage is getting an eviction. Can they do this, or would it have to be a completely new application?

Hi there, you should most definitely contact the court on Monday and check that the eviction order has been cancelled. If it hasn't come back here and we will see what can be done.

 

You are correct in thinking that the lender can apply for an eviction warrant should you fail to make a payment under the original court order. However, you can defend the eviction by applying to the court for a hearing to stop it, and we would be able to help you with that.

 

Let us know what the court say on Monday - ring them even if you get a letter from the solicitors telling you it's been cancelled - it wouldn't be the first time they've said so and then some idiot hasn't cancelled it with the court.

 

Stay positive, you will get a lot of help and support on this forum from those who are, or have been, in the same position.

 

Remember that judges won't take people's homes away from them unless there is no hope of payments being made.

Thank you Ell-en and Sillygirl for your messages and support. :)

 

I just find it hard to believe that something so important can happen through sheer incompetence and yet the urgency of the situation seems to be totally beyond them. I'm so angry and frustrated that actually I can't even begin to show it, but maybe that is a good thing.

 

There isn't really anything I can do until Monday so am going to try and find something constructive to do for the rest of the weekend. I'm not sure whether to actually go into the court on Monday (I would rather not as it means a trip into town and being borderline agoraphobic means that it makes it a rather uncomfortable thing for me to have to do), or whether to just phone them. Do you think it would be best to make a personal visit or not? I really don't have any idea what would be best, so any suggestions gratefully received - I should probably be called Mrs E Confused!

You need to to whatever feels most comfortable on Monday, don't try to force yourself to go to the court in person - if it feels OK then do it, if not you can just ring them and ask the question - they're used to people ringing up to check things.

Hiya Mrs B,

 

Sincerely sorry to hear about your situation. I know too well how it feels to have your home hanging in the balance and the uncertainty of facing the future without some of the things we all hold dear.

 

Im currently facing a battle with our lender as well - hearing next tuesday, however Im not prepared to give up my home without a fight and trust me it has been.

 

I guess life in general is a climb, however whichever way we get to the top in our own way the view can be breathtaking. I feel all situations present themselves for a purpose and it exposes vulnerabilities we sometimes didnt know we possessed, however your inner strengths will keep you going and looking forward to rebuild within time, if thats the route you decide to take.

 

Best of luck with your future endeavours, hopefully we'll all be able to look back at these times and remember all the wonderful, helpful peeps we met on the forum and the major impact they made to our lives each in different ways, i know I will.
