    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

MBNA via Restons are taking my wife to court over a credit card debit. The debt is being repaid under a DMP with the CCC'S, but the MBNA want to make an example of my wife. She is the worrying kind and this has caused many sleepiness nights. So, I have had to deal with the case myself. Too smart for my own good though! I thought, well, I’ll search the CAG site I’m sure they can help. So I decided to make Restons go all the way, we are not going to rollover without a fight. First up, I sent a letter to Restons requesting information regarding my wife's account citing CPR rules. They wrote back to my wife and asked her to confirm which particular rule she was referring. I replied rule CPR31.15 Their reply was received this morning and I quote from their email.

“The court has not made an order for standard disclosure and as such, we are under no obligation to comply with your request” “For Clarification, we do not intend to supply the extensive list of documents requested in your letter which, in our view, appears to be nothing more than a fishing expedition” This last bit got my goat!

So having made a complete mess of things how do I proceed now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nap and welcome to CAG

 

With the response you have received I would assume this is SCT (Small Claims Track) and a standard response from that crew.

You can request disclosure at AQ (allocation Questionnaire)

What document ion do you require?

Have you requested your CCA?

Do you have a DN or Termination Notice?

Have you got the original Statements from the debt?

How old is the account?

Did you receive any LBA from Restys?

 

If you could

type out verbatim, less any personal or identifiable details, the Claimants P.o.C to enable what they a proposing to rely upon.

 

Regards

 

Andy

I am currently dealing with this lot for an MBNA claim. It took 3 adjournments from the Court to get them to provide all the information, and they still have bits missing in my view.

 

I wrote and asked for the information, when they didnt get it (I had an equally dismissive letter first time) I sent a defence in saying i couldn't do a proper defence as I didnt have the documents they referred to, and asked the Judge to make an order for the documents (all examples on this site) He duly did and they still didnt comply, mine has been going on close to a year I think, Judge has refused to adjourn again next time so we will fianlly see then.

 

They rely on us worrying and getting stressed so we give in and seem to be as awkward as possible whilst acting as though they are right and have an automatic right to win at Court. Assume they don't and act accordingly.

Hi Andy

Surprise, surprise the solicitor has come back to us offering the documents requested on a voluntary basis. They claim the documents confirm liability and say that should we file a defence to the proceedings they will make an application to stike out that defence and/or for summary judgement.

Contaract signed 13th may 2004

 

does this mean we are up the creek without a paddle?

No it means they are throwing the dummy out the pram because you have requested Documents and submitted a plea to defend.Their response is designed to play mind games with you and deter you from submitting said defence.

You now need to wait for the documents and see what they have.Are going to forward them and if so why didnt they include them with their threat?

All gone pear shape.

We received notification today that judgement has been made against my wife as a reply or defense was not received. I returned the court paper work by recorded and was expecting to receive an allocation questionnaire. but I received nothing. Now they have transferred to Norwich and are putting a charging order on the house and we didn't get the chance to argue the case. Can they charge what they want now? debt was say five can they charge extra fees and interest now bump it up a few grand. I feel peeved to say the least. My wife is none to happy either. It just seems very vindictive and nasty to me.

But of course you have proof recorded delivery that a defence was submitted.Submit a N244 (you can download) to set a side judgment include a copy of proof of postage and a copy of your defence.

Do this ASAP as they will or have made application for an Interim Charging Order.

Hi Andy

 

Some of my responses seem to take about three minutes to land. Sometimes I hit ‘post reply’ only once, then it hangs for ages, then tells me I can’t post twice within 30 secs, yet I can see my post has already registered! There’s something amiss with the interface – that’s why some people keeping posting the same thing three or four times. I’m on Mac – don’t know if that’s anything to do with it. Have the same issues when I edit posts.

Were a bit stressed out now. Have spoken to the court. Case has been transferred to Norwich. Restons are applying for a charging order. They have said that no instruction has been given to reposses our home, but i dont believe them. So, I can't stop the charging order but can I at least restrict the amount of the charging order to what is owed and if we are paying monthly to reduce the amount owed how can I stop MBNA taking the monthly amount we are paying and also when the property is sold the full amount of the judgement. We have more than one property (our pension} can they put charging orders on all the properties? We have to attend court for the charging order hearing and my wife is petrified. It may be business for MBNA and Restons, but its becoming personal with me.

An update on our case. The court hearing for the Charging Order has been transferred from Norwich to Chelmsford the date set for 20th January 2011.

Unfortunately, this date coincides with the date our daughter is expecting to give birth to our second grandchild. My wife wants to be with our daughter at this time to help with our 3 year old grand daughter and the new born. To make matters worse our daughter has been diagnosed with cervical cancer and will need an immediate operation after giving birth. My wife is distraught, she doesn't want to go to court and leave our daughter to cope on her own {our daughter lives in Austria}

We have asked Restons politely if they will allow us to adjourn the hearing and they have flatly refused, stating that their client wishes to proceed. They have said we can write to the court and not attend. However, we {sorry I'm not} giving up. The unsecured debt of MBNA is less than 10 percent of the overall unsecured debt. Would the court be more sympathic and compassionate about adjourning the case?

Do I stand a chance with the defence of the charging order on the grounds that the other unsecured creditors would be prejudiced if MBNA were granted a charging order? The point is we have had a DMP with the CCC’s since April 2010 Reston’s and MBNA know this, the amount we paid in April 2010 will be the same amount we pay if they get a charging order except the debt will be secured.

Why do I want to stop a charging order, well, firstly I don’t believe Reston’s when they say they will not force the sale of our house. Secondly, I don’t trust that extra fees and charges will not be added so that an unsecured debt of £5k becomes £10k £15k or £20k.

So do I stand a chance?

Restons and MBNA are probably one of the worst partnerships on CAG :)

 

If you need to request an adjourment you will have to apply on form N244. Whether or not the court will agree is another matter.

 

Why do you want the name of the head honcho.. you should be dealing with Restons as their legal representatives.
