    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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 everyone,

 

I posted last night to say that I was unsure my letters had been received as I just addressed them to the 'Bank Manager' by First Class post no receipt. I was about to start all over again when I got an offer this morning which caught me by suprise. I've been offered £750 from a claim of £833.50 charges, the letter said that interest (£251.66 totalling £1085.16) won't be refunded as it is a condition of the overdraft. My argument will be that if I had not been charged in the first place I would not have had interest to pay on the £833.50. If anyone can word it better than me I'd be obliged.

 

What caught me off guard is I've only sent the pre lim letter and the LBA. The letter they sent says I entered into a contract and was aware of the charges etc and they believe they would successfully defend any legal challenge. Their offer is because they 'are mindful of management and irrevocable costs that it may incur in relation to a claim'.

 

I was thinking off rejecting the offer and going for the full amount. and giving another 14 days response time before I start procededings.

 

Has anyone else had an offer from HSBC at the LBA stage and did they reject or accept it?

 

My worry is to lose the £750 by being greedy for the £1085.

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

I have just had the same letter you got, offering a smaller amount that I asked for. If they are prepared to offer as much as they have, then it won't hurt them to go all the way and refund everything you have asked for.

 

I will be accepting their offer in PART PAYMENT, and will amend the bit on the letter (that I have to sign accepting their offer) to show that I will accept the offer so far but will continue to claim the rest in court if I have to.

 

No reason to give them any extra time, you gave them 14 days, I assume when you sent the LBA. Tell them your original deadline still stands.

 

Good luck!

Hiya,

 

thats interesting, never thought of accepting as part offer. I've been mulling over what to do and I've decided to reject it and go for gold. The fact they have made an offer suggests they are willing to pay the lot. Just about got the letter together in my head and now gonna get it on paper. Fingers crossed

Hi everyone,

 

I've just finished my letter rejecting the £750 I was offered as final settlement of my £1088.65 claim. I did consider accepting it as a part offer but decided against that. I said I was confident that I would be successful in my action against HSBC for the full amount, I've also updated the interest and told them I will be adding 24p a day until judgement or a full settlement which ever happens first.

 

I feel like David v Goliath........ now where did I put that slingshot?

I got the same offer which I accepted in part settlement and informed them that I still wanted the remaining monies. On Saturday I received the standard letter which suggests I contact the ombudsman. Guess that means I won't get the partial payment then! LOL

 

Their 14 days is up tomorrow so I'll file against them - they're not having any longer!

HSBC - 2 accounts - £5016.44 - WON!

 

Now going after them for my husbands account - £283.30. Prelim letter sent 26th October 2006.

Ok Good luck! I read elsewhere in this forum that they direct you to the ombudsman, so that seems to be a standard response. I thought the ombudsman were saught if you were seeking compensation not claiming back what's rightfully yours......!

Do I file my MCOL to Colin Langdale as he is the only named person who I have on my replies. He's Senior Service Quality Officer although the signature on the letters is PP. ALso can I add a claim now for the interest I have been charged on the overdraft charges even though I never mentioned it in my opening letter but did in my LBA? I don't mean the 8% for the charges, as I kept increasing my overdraft to keep afloat and so have been paying interest all these years and not clearing the OD if that makes sense.

I told them I wasn't contacting the ombudsman but would proceed with my action. I received a letter this morning again suggesting the ombudsman and no mention of the original offer! Rubbing it in a bit with the last line, they put 'I accept this letter will not provide the response that you hoped for'.......... too right it doesn't. ha ha to you too.

 

Filing my OLMC Saturday. GET READY.

thanks for that fella's. No I didn't mention it in the LBA just in the letter rejecting their offer of £400 less than my claim. I said that unless I received the full amount in 14 days I would file an action and include overdraft interest. Oh well not to worry i never imagined I would get a penny 3 months ago so I'd be satisfied with my original amount.

Cheers

Hold on, as long as you've mentioned it in a letter to them, LBA or not,then there's no reason why you shouldn't claim it at moneyclaim.

 

Once you've filed and know your claim no. send MCOL 2 copies of your revised schedule of charges clearly marked with your name and claim no. and a copy to the bank

I've added the extra interest when I started my MCOL but I can't figure out how to use the spreadsheet. I've worked it out on a day to day basis similar to the 8% which has added £500 + £120 costs to my original claim. If they had paid up on my initial letter they would have saved £620. Greedy b*%!&$%s.
