    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

Great to read posts from people who have managed to get money back from Nasty Vest.

 

I received a similar letter yesterday to that received by Gebedsman offering to repay me £4587 as a gesture of goodwill but they still stick to the 'we believe that our charges are fair and justified' story.

 

Just a point to Desparate Dan did you have to request the cheque?

 

I only ask as I would prefer to have the cash that way rather than it going direct into my account.

PPMan159 I was happily waiting for my court date when a letter and cheque from Corbetts turned up out of the blue, using the usual we are right, but as a commercial decision its better to settle the claim then take it to court line lol.

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply

 

The offer I got yesterday was from Mr Higley at Nasty Vest Customer Services in Borehamwood and not from Cobbets, as I would have expected to be the case.

 

I have just posted a letter back to Nasty Vest basically requesting that they repay to me all charges,interest and courts fees totalling £5776.72 and that I will only accept the sum of £4587 previously offered as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the balance.

 

Only once I have received full settlement will I be prepared to withdraw my claim which Cobbetts are now planning on defending.

 

I have also asked that they make an offer of compensation to me in order that I will agree to the confidentilallity clause that they wish to impose.

 

It has taken since November last year to get to this point so another coupe of weeks will not make that much difference.

THANKS TO THIS SUPERB WEB SITE, I'VE JUST HAD A CHEQUE FOR £3062!!:D If anyone is thinking of quitting the fight...DON'T!! If you need help, you'll find it on this site ~ & quickly, too!! Originally requested statements from bank end of November, sent first refund request to bank in early January, sent '14 day deadline to court action' letter in mid-February, started court action on 8th March, they acknowledged & filed defence on the 28th day :( !! I received their request for further info via the local court, which put me on the verge of giving it all up :confused: until I followed the advice on this site & sent the 'Claimants Response' letter. Was really suprised to have a hearing date through for just a fortnight later!! Should have been going to hearing this coming Wednesday but received a cheque on Saturday which was just £28 short of my total claim for charges, interest & court fees . I'm not going to argue about that!! They really dragged it all out to the bitter end, only responding to everything at the last possible moment! & leaving me very little time to notify the court with the weekend & bank holiday:mad:!! Anyway, it was all worth it in the end!! I really couldn't have done it without your site & will be giving a donation to say thank you as soon as the cheque is in my account!! Keep up your good work!! I'm sure there are plenty of others like me out there who need all the help they can get!! Thanks again. :D xxx

(I'm sorry, I can't even find my thread to ask for it to be moved!! Please could someone do the honours for me, if poss!! :o )

Hi Guys, couple of questions I'd like to ask cos I've now had enough of Natwest. Since 1st May I've had £380 charges applied to my account. That is insane! I'd like to know; where do I send the letter for requesting my last 6 years of data, do I enclose £10 cash or £10 cheque and if a cheque, who is it payable to? And then, finally, who do I send the letters saying I want to reclaim my charges too?

 

Thanks folks, I'm really encouraged by some of the success stories here.

Carl.

Welcome to CAG.

 

To begin with open your own thread in the Nat West section under Weymouth v Nat West.

 

That way it will be easier to follow as all of your posts will be in your own section and will not get confused with others.

 

The SAR should be sent to the following address:-

 

National Westminster Bank Plc

Customer Relations

Ground Floor

National Westminster House

225 Shenley Road

Enclose a cheque for £10 payable to Nat West and then wait 40 days.

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that NatWest paid back my charges. I sent my 2nd letter with the calculation of costs spreadsheet and also my bank statements (hadnt sent them first time round and got a letter back to say I had to send them). Sent the letter on the Tuesday 17th July and got a reply on Saturday 21st July saying that they didnt agree with that they had done anything wrong but would agree to pay back £4,024 which is exactly the amount I asked for! The money was put into my account on Wednesday 25th July.

Thanks to CAG for all your help. I cant believe that they paid up without a fight - fantastic!
