    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

Hi, I have recieved a letter from ARUK asking for my response to lhe letter they recieved marked "complaint". They are also asking for my proposals of what I am going to do to pay this money.

I sent letter which P1 wrote on 20th march. It seems to me they havent recieved this, but I have proof in the form of postage. I dont know if i am right here but I think i will just sit back and wait to see if they miraculously find it and reply.

Same old, Same old I'm afraid, this shows them for what they are, just another dodgy Debt Collection company.

 

If you looked through these forums you would see hundreds, if not thousands of instances where Debt Collectors denied receiving, or completely ignored letters sent to them and where proof of posting and deliveries were obtained.

 

I would be inclined to agree, sit and do nothing, you have made your position very clear and it is now down to them to either prove their status, or crawl off back under stone

They've received it... otherwise you would have got a threatogram a lot, lot sooner than this. Ignore it for now (as already advised) and see what they do next. Don't get into any 'phone conversations though if they try and get hold of you in this way... which they might, in an attempt to gloss over the last letter you sent them with their own agenda.

Hi friends, Just to let you know I have this morning recieved a letter from aruk in response to the last letter which P1 kindly helped with. It says "We acknowledge the letter recieved but they have no record on their file of having recieved a formal S.A.R.N request from me. And that in the meantime as our correspondence refers to an unsatisfied debt which you are clearly refusing to address by raising every obstacle in order to avoid its repayment, we can only repeat our request that you seek legal advice about your position". well thats what I recieved this morning. May I inform you ARUK as I know you watch this thread, I have been to the national debt helpline and quite a few others whom you have reccommended on the seperate sheet to some of the letters you sent and may I take this opportunity to inform you they all have said the same, IT IS STATUTE BARRED.

File and ignore.... ;)

 

They have nothing more to say and neither do you, so the only choice open to them is to instigate court proceedings... where they'll have to produce one helluva lot to try and substantiate that their claim is not stat. barred and so on.... plus be landed for costs as well.

 

Ho hum... :rolleyes:

Irate Wife, did you send the SAR via a tracked mail service ?, if so, then have a look at the RM track n trace website to see if was signed for. If so, print off the receipt.

 

Did you send the fee by postal order or cheque. If by postal order then you will be able to check if it has been cashed by phoning the post office on 01246 542091. You will need the receipt that you were given at the post office with the ID number.

 

Even if you get no joy from the above, then the fact that you have a receipt for posting will be sufficient, especially as the letter hasnt been returned to you:)

My ten penn'orth, in the hope that it (at least) will offer a crumb of comfort. My partner received a similar letter from these pond slimes - similar story, reposession then a decade of silence, then out of the blue ARUK start sending polite but insistent letters, encouraging dialogue. After a brief exchange of probing correspondence, we took CAG's advice and requested a SAR. Lo! there was no activity of any sort on the account until Northern Rock unloaded their slew of toxic debt, presumably in order to cleanse the business before fitting Taxpayer-funded training wheels. That was the last we ever heard from these parasites, and that was many many months ago.

 

As I understand it, the Council of Mortgage Lenders policy is not asking for repayment of debts over 6 YO where no contact has been made with the debtor, despite the statute of 12Y for mortgage debt. This policy transfers with the debt wherever it goes, [my understanding again] since an organisation which promotes or implements a Code of Conduct is bound by the requirements of said Code as if the requirements of the Code were in law. The Code then continues to apply to its successors.

 

NR being a member of CML is bound by the Code, and by inheritance, ARUK are too. They were greedy enough to buy the toxic debts, but it comes with baggage.

 

I even contacted the CML to ask why one of their members was in flagrant breach of the Code, but (predictably) they just closed rank and refused to discuss.

 

ARUK are not the Law, but they and their ilk are experienced at using good laws for a Bad Purpose and to them, the legal system is just another tool of the trade. Their solicitors share the same building, probably the same floor, and in my mental image, the same cobwebby offices overlooking the glue factory.

 

Behind every reposession there is a redundancy, death, divorce, breakdown or other personal crisis of unimaginable proportions, and people deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

 

I hope the advice you've received here, from minds far more qualified than mine, will give you the knowledge and courage to face this situation. Don't give in, don't let the Bad Guys win.

 

it gets better - believe me

followed this with great interest, hope they have scuttled off. Flagrant chancers by anyone's imagination. I must of admit I would have been daunted by this, poor IW get's her feet back on the ground and this pond life comes out of the cess-pool. hmmmmm But hey guy's you were great in the advice you gave, even the little disagreements soon resolved to rally around and support IW.

 

I believe this site is like a second family to me at the moment, going through 40k of debt myself with various creditors, ex gone, left me with mortgage and SL just about living. I could decorate the whole street with the letters I get but hey, they can only have what you got. At the start of my problems 18 months ago I trembled in fear of the letters coming through my bedsit dodgy letter box. With your help and experience, I find myself eagerly awaiting any new slime-ball that chances there arm. Give's me something to do in the evenings if I am not working, can't afford to go out or any holidays but hey still have the roof over me head so if my darling off spring wish to visit me and stay they can. (ex moved out to rented so back in my house) fair play we have never missed a mortgage payment or S loan payment... Ex agree's she don't mind waiting till I roll off this mortal coil for the sale of the house. (joint mortgage) I wont let her down and she did not let me down. Even kind enough to lend me some money for Christmas. She has gone on to promotion at work and has company car etc, best of luck to her. Can't as she said forget 25 years together, so really good friends now. I have a nice new girlfriend, someone I knew from years ago working would you believe it in the Financial Sector. Have a job I love, working for the NHS on an acute ward.... meet lovely people who are so brave in the face of terminal illness. Makes me stronger when I think of those low - life's trying to worry you over money, because in the end life is to short.

 

And a great big thank you to all you guy's on this site. You have helped me come out of great adversity and to anyone who feels its the end of there world. Believe me it gets better. Yes, something will come along and dent your self-esteem sometimes, but that is life. Can't thank you guy's enough. Well its a 13 hour shift today, so better get in that shower. Well done IW I truly hope they have scuttled off to some pond where they emerged from. (But some how I doubt it )

Fingers crossed, I've now gone from 2006 to now without paying anything on the alleged £5,000 shortfall they claimed on mine, £4,500 of that was a dubious "asset management fee" which I think was out of proprotion and illegal. As both companies involved in my repo are in administration I don't feel guilty at all.

 

Both companies made mistakes and had I known about CAG then things might have been different, however I've moved on a lot and learnt a lot, don't think they have!
