    • Just out of curiosity aesmith - are you a lawyer?
    • I spoke to a pro-bono entity this afternoon.  They advise I must initiate a claim in the court v the receiver if I want to then file an application for an order for sale.  I must have a claim/ proceedings to be able to force a sale. The judge in the current proceedings  has told me that I cannot force the lender to sell and the lender cannot interfere either.   If the receiver isn't acting correctly and isn't selling - this means I must make a claim against the receiver I could initiate a claim. Or much quicker  - the other entity - with a charge already - could use that to make an application for an order for sale.

    • 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 had a student overdraft with Lloyds TSB to the value of, I think 1550. At the start of the year they changed it to a classic account and started charging interest, which pushed me over the limit continuously. I am still in full time education and sent them a complaint letter asking if it could be reverted. They responded and said no.

 

I had to open a parachute account, which I now use, however SCM Solicitors are chasing me for the debt. I received from Lloyds what I think they're calling a default notice, but which was not in the prescribed form. I don't have that at hand right now, i'll get it scanned asap.

 

I have also received a letter from SCM saying they will issue court proceedings. However in between these SCM letters I have also received a bank statement from Lloyds adding interest and charges in the usual way. How can they do this if the account has been defaulted?

 

I figured SCM was just an inhouse scare engine like Mercers etc, but looking through the threads it would seem that they do actually issue court claims. I want to avoid this.

 

I can start a payment plan with them, but we're talking really low payments... Like I say i'm still in full time education and can barely support myself.

 

If they have shot themselves in the foot with this legal speak despite a dodgy DN and added interest, then i'd like to shoot them down asap.

 

The last letter was dated the 21st of Sept (I've left it so long :() so i'm anxious to fire a letter off this week... Any help would be appreciated... Should I write to SCM about the default and charges? Or should I just offer a payment plan for now?

Oh crap so I have, will amend now...

 

I'll get letters up asap...

 

Thing is... That cant possibly be a default notice (it literally isn't a default notice - it doesn't mention a default and has none of the prescribed terms)... so what is it? And since it hasn't been defaulted, can they issue court proceedings? I would have thought that Lloyds would first have to demand the full amount and/or default/terminate the account before they could go ahead and claim for it, right?

You think? They didn't specify the amount of the offer... I should just send one pound? I mean I can't see them taking that seriously, it'll just delay them a couple more weeks.

 

depending on your situation ie ,employment /unempolyed, offer them a sum YOU can afford send them a simple letter .dear sir/madam in reply to your letter of the 21 sept, due to my current situation and after seeking addvice i can offer a token payment of £xxx .(enclose a p/o for the amount YOU CAN AFFORD) please note i wii not telephone your company to disscus this matter. i also request that any interest and charges be suspended, as not to inccur any more debt to this account thankyou for your understanding with reguard to this matter.

In your circumstances £1 pm is all that a judge would award - then it would be fixed until it was paid off - so they won't do that. Send £1 pm with the letter above & get on with your studies.

Have a look at reclaiming your charges too!

I don't understand their enforcement notice - 1st para - "which part of the agreement have I broken?" "we can ask for our money back at any time" - if you have broken that part of the agreement then surely they won't be expecting anything to be repaid!

 

What date did you receive the enforcement notice? They should give 14 clear days to resolve the situation (after allowing for delivery). I noticed that they don't give an amount that will clear the default - £xxx plus interest - but how do you know what that would be???

 

They are asking for the full amount so they have closed the account & so should not be adding interest or charges.
