    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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 too complained to NatWest, or RBS who deal with their insurance, last October. I received the same letter as you suggesting the 4 week and 8 week points. It is now March almost 5 months later and i have heard absolutely nothing, despite several follow up letters.

 

You should have sent after the eight weeks was up ideally.FOS may not take on the case because five months has elasped in which case get back onto both and set the wheels in motion again.

@Martin, that is a long time to be waiting on them, natwest can be a pain though and they do not treat their customers good at all. You need to follow.

 

@jj69, Thanks for the advice, I will be sending out another letter if I do not hear from them within the time span of the 8 eights and at the same time I will also be sending out a letter to fos too.

 

I am also trying to find some more info on here about claiming bank and credit card charges and interest etc - should I just start a thread and hopefully I will get help that way? TIA :).

I have written to RBS 3 times since the 8 weeks was up requesting an update, to no avail. Their phone is never answered..... i passed this on to the FOS at the beginning of March, and they have acknowledged receipt. The point I am making is dont hold your breath waiting for a response from NatWest/RBS as they do not appear to be complying with their own complaints procedure.

Yep start a new thread and go down the SAR route thats what I have been doing and sucessfully claimed charges on a number of loans...once you get the docs from where you are claiming tally up the charges and send that organisation a letter.

I found a firm letter detailing the actual charges with a grand total worked for me, basically stating that I thought the charges levied were unlawful and would like them refunded.Did not have to send any threat letters just got charges refunded so good luck.

I'm not aware of a maximum time that you can go to FOS, but you could just send them a final letter saying you're still waiting and if you haven't had a satisfactory response in the next 7 days you'll be contacting the FOS.

Hmmm, I thought they said there wouldnt be any funding problems !

 

Cash crisis threat to Financial Services Ombudsman

 

The Financial Ombudsman Service could face a funding crisis unless the City watchdog, the Financial Services Authority, this week approves measures that will enable it to raise cash.

The FOS crunch arises from complaints over payment protection insurance, the loan cover sold by banks. PPI generates 70,000 FOS complaints a year - half its caseload. The problems have been intensified by litigation.

Maybe i've missed something, but I don't see how the judgement passed down would make any difference what way it went if the scenario of mis-sold PPI was due to someone being self-employed or someone being told it was a condition of getting a loan application approved that PPI must be purchased.

 

Any thoughts anyone?

The Banks are concerned that the FSA want to impose the new rules retrospectively and is the subject of the JR.

 

That rules that were not in existence at the time the original policy sales were made should not apply.

citybloke, I think the JR was more about the BBA challenging the right of the FSA to impose new rules or apply them retrospectively , rather than whether or not they had to refund PPI premiums. The action of the banks in halting processing complaints was just a spiteful reaction IMHO.

Thanks CitizenB.....I think you're correct and the banks have just halted our claims out of spite/retaliation. They are just delaying the inevitiable, as there are a lot of people with legitimate claims for mis-sold PPI.

 

I wonder what the general feeling is with regards to taking PPI case to the FOS if the bank doesn't 'play ball' or going down the court action route?.....Whilst it's probably easier to deal with the FOS and less stressful, court action could be a quicker route, but may not be without stress as most people may not be comfortable doing this.

 

Cheers

Comment from the FOS...........

 

"The lack of co operation from some financial businesses has made it difficult to progress PPI cases since this legal challenge was launched. However, the clear-cut judgment means that banks and other financial businesses should now be in the position to deal promptly, efficiently and fairly with their customers' PPI complaints."

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.

FSA/PN/039/2011

20 April 2011

 

We welcome the High Court’s dismissal of the British Bankers’ Association’s (BBA) and Nemo Personal Finance Limited’s (Nemo) legal challenge to our payment protection insurance (PPI) measures.

 

Our primary aim has always been to get proper redress, once and for all, for those with genuine complaints.

 

We believe this decision signals the end of years of poor complaint handling and will trigger a dramatic improvement in the way customers are treated when complaining.

 

There have been more than 1.5 million complaints made about PPI since the Financial Services Authority (FSA) took over regulation of it in 2005. On average, firms have rejected around 60% of the complaints made to them, but some rejected almost all of them. However, the vast majority of complaints referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (the Ombudsman) are found in the consumer’s favour.

 

However this is not the end of the process: the BBA and Nemo may seek to appeal the court’s judgment.

 

The FSA has not put a waiver in place so firms must continue to deal with complaints where possible, including letting customers know they can refer their complaint to the Ombudsman if they are unable to progress it.

 

Failure to do so may result in Enforcement action.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.

The banks gained a lot of confidence from the Supreme Court Judgement on bank charges, even the banks were surprised. It's only to be expected that they think they are right about everything.

 

Every Jim, Bob and Casper is going to start a thread on this subject, 20 by the end of the week.
