    • 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.

My and I am in a long running dispute with Tesco Insurance. Briefly they paid out settlement funds to Carlyle Finance without my giving my son the option to agree the figure, without notifying him and without having the ownership papers to the car.

We lodged a complaint and they eventually provided a breakdown of the settlement figure which included a deduction of £900 relating to scratches to the car caused by vandels after the accident.

We disputed this figure being taken off because it clearly states in their documention that they would only take into consideration damage to the car that happened either prior to the accident or on the date of the accident.

It was only when we took the complaint to the CEO that his representative said that they were in their rights to do this because of a time lapse in making the claim.

The claim was delayed because of a dispute with Carlyle Finance which is now in the hands of the Financial Ombudsman and has been for several months. Tesco was made aware of this at the time of the claim and was povided with all documetary proof including the Police info relating to the vandalism. At no time during the claim has my son been made aware of any restrictions on his claim due to the time lapse until we sent in the complaint to the CEO.

I will point out that the car was deemed as a right-off at the time of the accident so the scrarches would not affect that outcome because they occured after the event.

I have written to the CEO to allow him time to reconsider his decision but have heard nothing and feel that we are now just being ignored.

My son has just received a letter telling him to send the ownership documentation to Tesco and that he must give them permission to dispose of the car or they will put it out on the road.

I am searching for a Solicitor who will give free advice, I really feel my son is in the right here and we are being bulied because we are vulnerable and poor.

I disabled, with only partial hearing, osteoarthritis, vertigo, atthritis and tendonitis. The car had engine problems from the start and then suffered a malfunction causing my son to run it into a small tree. We only had it two weeks and was going to go back to the Dealership because it was under warrantee but it had gone bust so we were advise to go to the Finace Company but they refused to do anything after several weeks of considering the issue. We then took the case to the Ombudsman but it has to be looked at by their Adjudicary body first. After several weeks again they did not uphold our case so it went into a queue to be looked at by the Ombudsman. Thus the time lapse for the claim, we were hoping it would not have to come to that and our rights would be upheld but that was not the case and now my son has been unfairly treated by the insurance company too. He now suffers with major anxiety problems contributed to by all this so I would really appreciate some advise to confirm where we stand legally at least with Tesco Insurance.

Thank you for your time

If Tesco Insurers have issued their final response, saying they will not answer any further letters, then you will not get a response. You would then have to go to the FOS. The FOS will take ages (people are waiting 2 years or more in some cases).

 

Probably the legal route would be the best. I am not sure whether you qualify for legal aid.

 

See if you can get an appointment with a local solicitor. Find one with the help of this link. http://legaladviserfinder.justice.gov.uk/AdviserSearch.do

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you Uncle Bulgaria, I was afraid this would be the case. We would qualify for legal aid I believe but it is difficult to find one who offers this who deals with these type of disputes. I am thinking of going to the newspaper to highlight the way my son has been treated but it would have to be me contact them because of my sons anxiety probs. It is dreadful that they are allowed to have this much power and yet we have to go to such lengths to receive fair treatment.

I will not bother with the FOS from what I have just read on this site they are biased and do not operate efficently so should be closed down in favour of a new independent and fair service.

I will check out the website you have suggested, thank you so much
