    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

I found the car i wanted to buy 9/9/08.

Paid for hpi check 10/9/08.

collected and paid cash for the car (3k) 12/9/08.

 

Roll on june 2009. The car was taken from outside my house by repossession agents acting on behalf of 'logbook' loans. I try to dispute what they are saying. They show me a letter clearly stating that THEY ARE THE LEGAL OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. I hpi check the car again. It clearly states outstanding finance;logbook loans.

 

The man who sold me the car had used the car as security for a 6k loan on 11/9/08- ie the day before i collected the car.

 

I came to an agreement with logbook loans to buy back the car from them for 1500. They give me a receipt to say they have no further interest in the vehicle.

 

Tonight I have had a phone call from 'welcome finance' saying that they have tracked me down as the current owner of the vehicle. There is outstanding finance on it from an agreement dated 24/9/08.

 

I cannot believe it, i will have to sleep in the car to make sure they dont take it again.

 

i am desperate for any legal knowledge if anyone could help

Hi Foxy welcome

 

You have been a victim of fraud, you will need to take this-along with your paperwork to the police get the ball rolling-keep a carefull notes on how much you are out of pocket..

 

 

You are the owner full stop, the letter you state you have says they have no intrest-buy LBL have sold the loan on to a DCA- You will need to get info from the DCA- I would recommend a SAR to them on the account. Send all letters by Regietered post, send them a copy of the letter that show they have no intreast and state quite clearly that you own the car. Let them do the hardwork.

 

Have a good read of the post and stickys. Oh DCA's cannot take the car.

Don't panic and don't worry. The guys that turn up are agents-**** suckers feeding on the bottom of the pond. They are NOT Baliffs-they will lie and cheat to get what they want. You are not dealing with LBL anymore.they have no intrest.

thanks for your reply.

 

From what i understand Welcome finance are not a DCA. They lent money to the same person using the same car as security.

 

We found out that he (man who sold us the car) had a duplicate logbook. From reading other posts i see that LBL dont take the logbook from you when you have a loan through them.

The date of his agreement with LBL was 11/9/08.

 

Maybe he was surprised that LBL didnt keep the logbook so he then lent against it again on 24/9/08 with welcome finance.

 

Our logbook shows that i aquired the vehicle on 14/9/09, it wasn't printed until 25/9/09 though.

 

By this point the finance should have been showing from LBL though if Welcome did a finance check? Are LBL legally obliged to record their financial interest in the car, if so how soon?

 

There could be more companies out there looking for the car!!

 

The car is my only source of income. I have a personal loan of 6k although i only paid 3k for the car. I have since had it LPG converted, fitted a huge roofbox, paid for it to be badged as a taxi. It is a people carrier used for airport transfers only. I have a diary full of work:(

did you send of the logbook straight away? if you did the envolope stamped would be proof. Besides you both have been a victim of a crime-so you should report it as such. As long as the Police are aware you are a victim so to speak. Besides still SAR them-you never know what it will turn up-plus they have to give you everthing to do with the account (of the car) you will get a clearer picture of what they have. Have you seen a copy of the BoS?

 

Ahh I think they cannot touch it as its a taxi-I think that there may be a really old law covering that also that the car has been modified if they do take it the have "unjust enrichedment", besides its your only sorce of income...My advice at this point would be to have a chat with a Sol, perhaps someone that knows consumer law.

STOP!!!!!!!!!!

first off Welcome Finance do not do logbook loans meaning you have the protection of the hire purchase act.

If their finance wasnt showing and you have your hpi check still you are in the clear as you can claim good title as you brought the car in good faith.

1st check what agreement it is on with Welcome Finance with them.

2nd check your hpi and if your in the clear tell them so they should back off oh and if it is hp they cannot repo without a court order anyway

3rd finance companies are NOT legally obligated to record finance on hpi, however if it is HP (ie not a logbook loan) if they dont and you are a private purchaser and do a hpi before buying you can claim to have brought the car in good faith and they cant touch it.

thats a point you have there pacman..

 

Do you think its a case of LBL sold on or there was HP on it and that they have found it? She did say there was no intrest on the HPI check when she did one-something is not right here at all..

Foxy-questions.

 

You said you came to an arrangement with LBL for £1500, did you get any work on the car before they turned up? Do you suspect that LBL have sold on the debt to welcome or did welcome just come out of the blue stating they own the car? Cos if welcome are the HPI owners-did not own the car-you paid LBL for nothing...see where i'm coming from.

 

Any work to fix or convert the car could be enrichment.

If welcome was the HPI owners LBL had no legal right to clain ownership-you paid £1500 for nothing....

thank you for taking an interest in my situation.

 

The lpg conversion, roof box and taxi plating were all done within 2-3 weeks of buying the car in sept 08.

 

from the dates of the agreements i would think that LBL had more claim to the car than Welcome?

LBL 11/09/08

Welcome 24/09/08

 

If LBL took longer than the 7 days to do the register BOS with the court thing maybe LBL didn't show when Welcome did their HPI check on 24/09/08?

 

My HPI check was done on 10/09/08 - before either of these agreements were made.

The point here foxy is one of law bills of sale mean that wether or not log book loans registered their interest on hpi they could repo the car (welcome could have argued the toss with them as LBL being a company is NOT protected by the HP act but this is a different matter)

Welcome however do HP agreements if they havent put it on hpi BEFORE you do a hpi check and buy the car regardless of who you buy it off (for instance LBL which is what you have effectively done) they cannot pursue the car any further once this is brought to their attention as you have brought the car in "good faith" which is protected under the hire purchase act 1964 C.53 please read Hire Purchase Act 1964 (c. 53)

in other words your car tell them so!

Ignore LBL for now one thing at a time from my understanding Welcome have now approached saying you owe them money after paying off LBL (since youve paid LBL off they are no longer an issue so i wont bother going into this one but i think that yes they could have taken the car, certainly i think they would have).

Welcome would have taken a HP agreement out with a customer either for the car or on the car as a HP agreement you have rights and protections you dont have with a log book loan one of the is called having brought the car in "good faith" if you can show you did all reasonable checks as a private individual buying the car (ie you did a HPI check and it didnt show up, you got log book etc) then the Law ie Hire Purchase Act says that you brought the car in good faith and welcome cant touch it end of!

Welcome Finance do not buy debt they are a finance company it would be a debt colection company that would be interested in buying the debt not them
