    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 all hope someone can help me very quickly.

 

I have a repossession order on the 5th august for my house.

 

I have phoned up the DB mortgages solictors and offered to pay them £1400 off the arrears then to pay double what i would pay each month until i clear the areears off(about £5500). My monthly payments are normally £630. A bit about the history of how i got into this situation. I 1st started to miss payments towards the end of last year because of the CSA had re assed my case and decided i had not been paying enougth. so they left me really short off cash for a few months. DB mortgages got a repossession order around april. I made a aggrement with them then. paid some arrears off and then only made one payment. When out of the blue the CSA came along and took more money from my wage after reasseing and saying i owed loads again(£2650).

 

Any help on how i can stop this repossession on such short notice.

 

Pleas help very desperate

Hi there, firstly calm down - there is always something we can do.

 

When you say you have a repossession order for 5th August - do you mean an eviction order?

 

If so you are going to have to get down to the court and enter a N244 form (I can help you fill that in)

 

Need to know exactly what the order says

 

Kind Regards

OK, we'll need to move fast - but it can be done.

 

You need to lodge a N244 form at court this afternoon you can download it here: Her Majesty's Courts Service - Home. Select Forms and Guidance from the menu on the left hand side and enter N244 in the box. It will then take you to the dcreen where you can download the form. Do you have a printer?

 

Also, the fee for entering this form is £35.00

 

The court should be able to get you a hearing before the judge on Monday - which you must attend (not as scary as you think, but we'll come back to that lbit later).

 

Let me know when you have the form and I will give you the instructions for filling it in.

 

Is the mortgage in joint names?

 

Kind Regards

Hi ya

 

I had problems with my printer I ended up going to a internet cafe to print out. And when I got down to the court they could not take it as i was to late. I will need to go back 1st thing monday morning. i paid db mortgages like you advised but not sure if now i will get it sorted before tuesday morning. what is worrying but will still try neverless.

 

Do you think i have left it to late now?

 

Worried that i have.

It should be OK, but you will need to be at the court 1st thing Monday morning! be prepared to wait there as you may get a hearing that morning/afternoon. Or you may have to travel to another court in the area if they are too busy to get you in.

 

Get a mini statement over the weekend which shows the payment made today and also look out some wage slips.

 

Will you be able to get your printer working over the weekend?

 

Try not too worry too much (easily said I know) but I have been involved in a couple of cases where the hearing was on the morning of the planned eviction and they were OK - the judge lets the bailiffs know not to enforce the warrant.

 

The hearing itself is fairly informal, it will be conducted in a private room with just yourself, the judge and a representative for the other side (if they've got time to arrange it). As it's your application for a hearing, the judge will ask you to speak first - they are usually pretty good with litigents in person (that's you lol) and will guide you through the process.

 

If your arrears are now approx £4k and you are offering to pay £370 per month towards them, it's not going to take long to clear them so you'll get a suspension I'm sure.

 

Stay positive - you'll get there:)

Right you say get out a few wage slips out how many?

 

I be going down 1st thing tommorrow to the court what else will i need to take? And what else should i do to prepare myself?

Hi there, you need to affix the wage slips to the sheet for Q.10 and then get a photocopy of it all as you need to retain your original payslips - does your printer photocopy? the court might do one for you, but just to be on the safe side you should try to get one before you go - newsagents etc usually have copying machines.

 

Checklist -

 

N244 form filled in and signed

Attached sheet with details for Q.10 (make sure your name and claim number written on the top)

Attached budget sheet (make sure claim number and Appendix 1 written on the top)

Attached wage slips (photocopies) - take originals with you.

Attached bank statement showing payment you made on Friday.

 

Photocopy of all documents.

 

£35.00 fee (preferably cash)

 

You need to get there for the court opening in the morning in the hope that they can fit you in tomorrow. With any great deal of luck you will get a slot tomorrow which will mean that the mortgage company may not have time to organise anyone to represent them ;)

 

Kind Regards

Hi, I'm afraid you are in the hands of the court staff when getting a hearing - if they are very busy you may not get one until Tuesday morning - don't worry - if that happens, the court staff will tell the bailiffs that you have a hearing and nothing will happen until they get word from the judge. If they can't get you in then you may need to go to a nearby court but I would think that is a last resort.

 

When you enter the "court" room, wait for the judge to indicate that you can sit down and he/she will guide you through the process. He/she will ask you to confirm who you are. When you address him/her it should be sir or madam. The hearing will take no longer than 10 minutes (5 if there is no-one from the other side!).

 

Try to stay calm and speak slowly and clearly, the judge will understand that you are nervous and make allowances.

 

I'm sure it will all be fine, but don't forget to post on here as soon as you have the good news:)

 

Kind Regards

Wear whatever you feel most comfortable in - if you think wearing a suit will make you feel more confident then do so, if you will be uncomfortable in it then wear smart.

 

At the end of the day the judge will be basing his judgement on the information in your defence, not on what you are wearing, that is why you should choose what you are most comfortable in:)

Hi there

Just read your thread. i know how worried you must be feeling right now. I have been there twice. Just some comfort words. Like Ell-en said it is very relaxed. It will be great if you get an appearance tomorrow as the other side wont be able to turn up. Tuesday will be good as that wont give them time to sort out their solicitor. I preffered leaving it till the last minute.

 

The judge doesnt expect us to know what we are doing, they expect us to be nervous.

 

Good luck. We will all be with you

I have got my appointment for tommorrow morning at 10am. The thing that is worrying me now is that i have not packed any off my stuff and if i was not to win the sup order i would be left with very little time to pack if any time.

It will be OK - you won't need to pack.... just try and stay calm until the morning - it will soon be over. In the present financial climate judges do not want to take people's homes away from them unless it is absolutely necessary - you have an income and can prove you are able to maintain payments - so there should be no problem getting a suspension.

 

Easy for me to say, I know - but going on past results I've no reason to believe you won't be OK :)

 

Kind Regards

Incidentally, did we establish if you had any evidence from the CSA regarding the re-assessment which resulted in then deducting a large chunk of your wages?

 

If you have that - get a couple of copies and take it with you tomorrow.

 

Did you get a copy for yourself of everything you took to court?
