    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • 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.

Hi to All,

 

I have possession hearing on 25th Jan. and after reading all the information and advice on this forum, have made an online response (10/01) to the court.

I have made a reply to NR and their Sols, by recorded letter, including a balance sheet, and my proposals.

I received a call from NR Sun 11am and they stated that they can only accept contractual payments from now, otherwise they will go for repossession. This is different from the Concessional Mortgage offer they offered last Aug.

 

Any further advice for the hearing would be appreciated.

Hi there, what sort of response did you do on line? Did you receive an N11M defence form from the court? If we can gather together more information you can take an up to date statement to the court with other facts to back up your defence.

 

1.Is the mortgage in joint names?

2.How much are the arrears?

3.How much can you afford to pay towards the arrears each month?

4.Are you in employment?

5.Do you have any children living at home?

 

You say you were offered a change to your mortgage (concession?), do you have that in writing?

 

Sorry for all the questions but we need to have as much info as possible in order to draft a full defence.

Hello Ellen,

1. yes joint names

2. £14-15000.00 arrears

3. The contractual payments are £1020.00 but i was building up to paying the full payments, after 1 year on reduced as proposed by NR (£657.00) then they changed the goalposts

4. Yes self employed

5. No children

Did you keep copies of the letters you sent to them,? Also did you check on royalmail website to see if they signed for them and print off the signature receipts ?

 

It would be helpful if you could post up what you wrote on the online response (remove anything which might identify you)

hi ell-enn

yes i do have copies, and have checked that they have been delivered. Please see below my statement:

In april 2009 i became unemployed, and informed Northern Rock of my circumstances.

i attended the local job centre, and they suggested that i apply for ‘Pension Credit’

i had an interview, and went through all outgoing expenses, and made the application. The pension department would pay towards interest on the mortgage account.

I realised that i had an insurance running with Barclays, and pursued a claim under a PPI

The insurance paid out on a monthly basis, depending on my supplying them with evidence that i was seeking work. The insurance would run for a year.

i made payments to my Mortgage Account, as i received them from the Insurance.

In April 2010 I found a promise of employment, which took 3 more months to come to fruition.

In all this time I had been in communication with Northern Rock updating them of my circumstances.

In August 2010 Northern Rock offered me a Concession Mortgage’ with a monthly payment, of £657.90 for the period of a year, whilst my income built up, to return to my contractual payments, (£1020.00 per month)

Northern Rock asked me for a forcast of prospective earnings which I supplied, including an Income & Expenditure sheet.

They contacted me back and asked for more proof, of which i replied, I will approach my Accountant, for a letter. The Accountant supplied a letter, and N R said, that this was not acceptable as the Accountant had put a clause in it stating that the supplied income figures were only a forcast, (which they origionally asked for) and not a true record. Well there wouldn’t be a true record as these were forcast figures only, based on the previous three months work done with the new company.

N R said that they wanted to see bank statements showing current earnings, and that in the mean time would put a temporary agreement, in place, until December.

Then in Dec, they started saying that they would start possession proceedings,(To protect their interests) I have paid my Dec payment, and supplied N R with another Income Expenditure as requested. (Jan 2011)

Now i believe i have been in communication with N R during all this period which has been very difficult for my self and my wife, and just as i am getting back on my feet again, N R issue this possession notice which i find very disturbing.

In all of this the arrears built up through a shortfall, of insurance payments, during the year plus that i had no regular income.

I believe that I can maintain the monthly payments, and build up to full payments within the timescale proposed by Northern Rock, thus preventing any other action

being taken.

regards

I will add that this an interest only mortgage with 6 years left. There is no endowment in place to pay off, so will sell up to pay off.

The judge will look at the amount of arrears and the time left on the mortgage - if the arrears are £14 - 15,000 and you only have 6 years left on the mortgage you would need to be able to pay £200 extra per month on top of the normal monthly payment in order to clear the arrears before the mortgage term is up.

 

Even if there are charges added to the arrears you are still going to have to find the normal payment of £1020 plus an amount towards the arrears each month. Would you be able to do that?

 

I think we need to ask the court for time to establish how much of the arrears are charges, but I have to say I think the judge would expect you to pay the £1020 while you wait for the info. When did you send the letter asking for a statement? did you send it by recorded delivery and did you keep a copy of the letter?
