    • best to be sure it is a N279. not that they pull any underhand stunts of course   but we have seen it. your bal is now £0 but we'll still attend court as you'll probably not as we've said we've closed the account and we'll get a judgement by default. dx  
    • Sorry, last bit They had ticked that they wanted the application dealt with without a hearing, so is there any relevance that a date and time to attend said hearing has been sent out ?
    • I've not seen it personally but I think that's the letter Dad has had from Overdales. I'll see it tomorrow. It states balance: zero
    • Agreed as you clearly have little faith in your star runners, mind you - I have less - conditional on the welcher clause I defined being part, and that we are talking about the three defined candidates: Tice Farage and Anderson - not anyone anywhere as reform might (outside chance) get someone decent to run somewhere. If any of the three dont run - they count as a loss.   welcher clause. "If either of us loses and doesn't pay - we agree the site admin will change the welchers avatar permanently to a cows ass - specific cows ass avatar chosen by the winner - with veto by site on any too offensive - requiring another to be chosen  (or of course, DP likely allows you can delete your account and all your worthless posts to cheapskate chicken out and we'll just laugh) "
    • This is the full details, note they have made an error (1) in that paragraph 5 stated 14 days before hearing not 7. Surely a company of their size would proof read and shouldn't make basic errors like that 1) The Claimant respectfully applies for an extension of time to comply with paragraph 5 of the Order of Deputy District Judge XXX dated XX March 2024 i.e. the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely shall be filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing. 2) The Claimant seeks a short extension of time allow them to further and properly investigate data provided to them by Royal Mail which is of importance to the proceedings and determination of the Claim. 3) The Claimant and Royal Mail have an information sharing agreement. Under the agreement, Royal Mail has provided data to the Claimant in respect of the matters forming the basis of these proceedings. The Claimant requires more time to consider this data and reconcile it against their own records. The Claimant may need to seek clarification and assurances from Royal Mail before they can be confident the data is correct and relevant to the proceedings i.e. available to be submitted as evidence. 4) The Claimant's witness is currently out of the office on annual leave and this was not relayed to DWF Law until after the event which has caused a further unfortunate delay. 5) The Court has directed parties to file and serve any evidence upon which they intend to rely not later than 14- days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 6 June 2024. Regrettably, the Claimant will have insufficient time to finalise their witness evidence and supporting exhibits as directed. We therefore respectfully apply to extend the time for filing/serving evidence so that the evidence upon which the parties intend to rely by filed and served not later than 7-days before the hearing i.e. by 4pm on 13 June 2024. 6) This application is a pre-emptive one for an extension of time made prior to the expiry of the deadline. In considering the application, the Court is required to exercise its broad case management powers and consider the overriding objective. 7) In circumstances where applications are made in time, the Court should be reticent to refuse reasonable applications for extensions of time which neither imperil hearing dates nor disrupt proceedings, pursuant to Hallam Estates v Baker [2014] EWCA Civ 661. 😎 It is respectfully submitted that the application is made pursuant to the provisions of CPR 3.1(2)(a) and in accordance with the overriding objective to ensure the parties are on an equal footing when presenting their cases to the Court. The requested extension of time does not put the hearing at risk and granting the Application will not be disruptive to the proceedings.   They have asked for extension Because 2) The Claimant requires additional time to consider and reconcile data received from Royal Mail which is relevant to these proceedings against their own data and records in order to submit detailed evidence in support of this Claim.

    • 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.

Hello all.

 

I'm hoping someone on here can help me.

 

My partner received a letter from the land registry advising of a 3rd party wishing to apply to secure a debt on our property. After investigation this debt is from a shortfall in a repossessed property from 2002. My partner has no knowledge of this mortgage.

The complication is her Ex Husband was declared bankrupt in 2006 and he owned a number of properties.

 

We have asked for proof of this mortgage being in my partners name and the solicitors have sent us a photocopied mortgage application form with both my partners and her ex's signatures. Now it does look like her signature but it obviously isn't witnessed or anything due to it just being a application form.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but i am pretty sure this doesn't constitute liability to the debt? Some of the information on the application is also incorrect. For example reference address for my partners then work.

 

The mortgage was agreed and house purchased in May 1995 for £18,500

The outstanding mortgage was (I'm assuming this includes interest and costs?) £22,193 and the house was sold in 2002 for £14,100 (Which for me seems a little too low?)

 

The whole thing to me seems to stink to high heaven. From my partners ex possibly forging signatures to the Solicitors/HBOS not sending to correct documentation/proof!!

 

Any Advice or guidance would be much appreciated.

 

P.S the court date is set for 30th Nov

This does stink, which company is involved here and which dodgy solicitor 'solicitors for rent' are attempting to break rules.

 

This is nigh on statute barred by mortgage debt collecting standards (12 years from the date of the LAST IDENTIFIABLE PAYMENT) and they need to be taken to court for harrassment and unreasonable behaviour.

 

The mortgage shortfall is a non-secured low priority loan now and because it was a joint application they need to be reminded that as the bankruptcy covered at least HALF of this loan they cannot then chase her for the whole amount,. They aslo need to provide detailed information.

 

Another little thing they 'forget' is they can only cbarge interest for SIX years, not the whole 12 years, and the interest rate to charge is the 8% interest rate and NOT the mortgage rate as the mortgage shortfall is no longer securable on a property.

 

A claim against them will cost £35 and send them scurrying back under the rock they came from.

Thanks for your replay Sillygirl,

 

The Solicitors are HL Solicitors/Interactive and the mortgage was taken out with Halifax but now is being pursued by The bank of Scotland.

 

I've drafted a letter asking for more details of last payment, value of property when sold and how was it marketed etc.... but am I right in thinking unless they have a signed and witnessed agreement they cannot enforce it anyway? (They have only supplied us with an application form) Also if they didn't have all these details why would a court judge a CCJ against her? Was it because it was uncontested?

Hi All

Just to keep those of you who are interested updated.

 

I've sent them letter requesting a signed agreement and a full breakdown regarding costs, interest added etc.... I received a reply my return of post informing me that they had requested the information from HBOS.

Surely if a court had approved a CCJ and B132 this information would have needed to be shown to a Judge? Or would the mortgage application be enough?

 

Regards

Dean

Thanks for your reply.

The original claim was uncontested. We knew nothing about it until we received the B132 Notice in August.

I have a feeling they hand no idea she is now divorced.

 

We may have them scurrying away under their rocks yet!

Hello all

 

Sorry for the delay in news from this.

We have received all the documentation that we requested apart from a signed witnessed mortgage agreement? I'm still unable to verify if they need this for the claim against my partner to be valid? Is the application legally binding?

 

As a side note on the account history from HBOS it clearly shows my partner ringing the lender asking what the payment to them was for and contact from her Ex husband being very aggressive wanting to query something and stating he paid the mortgage? Obviously as his name wasn't down as the lender they wouldn't speak to him. I'm not sure if this helps our case at all?

I think they will need the signed witnessed mortgae agreement to enforce - but you should contact a lawyer for proper advice. Have they sent you a mortgage statement showing all payments? If so, when was the last payment? What happened at Court on 30 November?

Thanks for the reply Bigdebtor

 

The court date was postponed until February.. Last payment to the account was 19/2/2001.

So time is getting a little tight. My other half isn't the best at this sort of thing. Probably why she let her Ex Husband get her into this mess in the first place?

Just re-read your very first post. As you say, the sale price seems VERY low! It might be worth getting data of what happened to prices for that type of property in that area between date of purchase and sale - as it looks as if they didn't try too hard to mitigate any loss!

 

Also did Halifax or BOS have any other dealings with your partner - so they would have been aware of changes to her address? If so, they have been very negligent in keeping her informed of the situation. They could also have tracked her down via the various CRA's.

 

This is certainly one worth fighting - and if they realise the most they can get is 50% of the outstanding debt (due to her ex's bankruptcy ) - and even that is in doubt if they haven't done everything properly, they may well just walk away.

 

Am I right in assuming they are claiming £8k (£22.1k - £14.1k sale proceeds) and not the full £22.1k? If so, if you get them to agree 50% is written off, and they DON't just walk away, then it is a Small Claims issue - so minimum risk of court costs if you defend.

 

As I said, it's certainly worth getting some legal advice - and insisting on seeing the original signed and witnessed mortgage agreement.

Not sure where you and another poster are getting 50% is written off because the ex-husband has been made bankrupt? A mortgage shortfall is a joint and several debt and so the lender can pursue the OP for the amount oustanding, less of course any dividend they received in the bankruptcy proceedings.

 

It is imperative that the OP gets a copy of the mortgage agreement. Given the time that has elapsed since the mortgage was taken out and certain other information the OP has given I think legal advice is essential and finding a solicitor who does not stare blankly back at you when you utter the words "undue influence" and "no indpendent advice was obtained" in the same sentence would be a plus.

Hi Everyone,

 

 

I hope someone can help.

 

 

My partner received two letters earlier this week.

 

 

One was from Moorcroft DCA and one was from the Halifax stating that they have transferred the management of the Mortgage debt from them to Moorcroft.

 

 

She has no recollection of ever having a mortgage from Halifax, but her ex husband was a bit of a scoundrel and declared himself bankrupt so there's a chance it's something to do with him?

 

 

Now the interesting fact is that these two letters came from the same place. Both had Moorcroft's PO Box number on the back. Which I find a little bizarre!

 

 

My partner rang Halifax who confirmed that they hadn't sent the letter and the account number on the letter doesn't exist!

 

 

Have Moorcroft broken any rules here or are they trying to negate GDPR?

 

 

Having carried out a deeper investigation she has a CCJ registered to a previous address but she has had any notification regards it previously. She has not required to apply for any credit so it hasn't come to light.

We have lived in the same address for almost 11 years so we're not exactly difficult to find.

 

 

My questions are:

Moorcroft been a bit underhand here but have they breached any regulations?

How long before a Mortgage is statute barred?

Where do we go from here?

 

 

Any help/advice would be most appreciated.

 

 

Cheers

Dean

too many questions need answering before you can get advice for what you ask.

Waht was the CCJ for and when?

ex hubby- does he have or did he have a mortgage? If someone tells me they have no recollection of having a mortgage I think they are either incredibly stupid or they are being economical with the turth. People remember where they lived and whether they owned the house or not
