    • 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 ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • 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.

I am really hoping that someone can please advise me of what I cando as my ex-partner has run up debts well in excess of £170,000, he had hishouse repossessed shortly before we broke up and stayed at my house for acouple of weeks (he works away 2 weeks out of every 4) 2 or 3 times. During that time I did not put his name onanything to do with my home and I wouldn't allow him to have his post redirected here as I didn't want him to think we were now living together,wehad not been seeing each other for very long. The only thing that does have himon is my car insurance as a named driver as I had forgotten to remove thiswhich will be done first thing in the morning.

I was aware he had alot of debts but not as much as I have since found out. I only let him stay because he had nowhereelse to go. I also live in rented accommodation with my 12 year old little boyand am currently going through a very messy divorce and am unemployed.

Over the past few weeks I have had several (about 25)letters arrive here addressed to my ex-partner including some from the inlandrevenue and his mortgage company, I have simply put "not known at thisaddress" on the envelope and put them back into the post box.

Today however I had court documents sent here for him (Iopened them which I'm not sure I should have in case I have broken the law?)and across the front of them it states that the creditor had the Sheriff’soffice trace him and the Sheriff’s office advised them that he is living atthis address, which he isn’t and never has done. The amount of letters for himhas increased over the past few weeks which to me would suggest other creditorshave made enquires to the sheriff’s office. I also opened another letter received today from his mortgage company demanding thesum of £92,000, despite the fact I have sent several letters back them in pastweeks with not known at this address.

Please can anyone tell me how the Sheriff’s office couldhave traced him as living here, and what I can do about it? Also will he beregistered as living here on any credit recording agencies or anywhere elsethat I am also going to have to deal with?

My son and I have all our doors and windows locked as fromthe court paperwork we understand a high court enforcement office can forceentry and take our belongings.

Any help or guidance will be very much appreciated Thank you.:sad:

Have you a tenancy agreement, if so send a copy via email/fax as proof that you are the sole tenant to the sheriffs office stating basically what you have in here omitting any personal details you wish to withhold, make them aware that you have no ties to your ex and basically they are barking up the wrong tree.

 

Have to say I am not that knowledgeable on these sort of matters, however I am sure that people who know more will be a long shortly to help.

Hi Seanamarts,

 

Thank you for your reply. Yes I do have a tennancy agreement which is in my sole name, I am not sure if I have broken the law by opening the letters and court documents as they were not addressed to me but I guess I could explain this as well? Do you know if there is anywhere else that will have an address file wich could lead his creditors to this address that I should also send my tennancy agreement too?

 

Thank you so much for your help

I would hazard a guess he has given your address as a contact address, and no doubt all the creditors will be sharing information. Sadly I believe you may have to deal with this on a case by case basis although others more versed in the workings of the CRA's may have further advice.

 

If you have your doors & windows locked then this will indeed prevent the HCEO from gaining entry. As it is a residential property they have no right of forced entry unless they have previously gained peaceful entry & even so he cannot seize or remove any goods belonging to a child.

 

Do you hear from or see your ex on a regular basis & do you remain on friendly terms? If so it may pay to tackle this head on and get him to responsibility for his actions. You could give them his new address or point them in his general direction. Failing that maybe a Statutory Declaration sworn to say there is only yourself and your son at your address and tha fact the last time your ex stayed was on 31 February 1900 or similar.

Not trying to knock the tenancy idea but that is only a name on a form and not the actual people resident.

A statutory declaration is a document which you get signed (notarised) by a solicitor or commissioner of oaths - you can take it to a local solicitor and it costs £5 (some may charge a little more). I have affixed a sample stat dec, you will need to adapt to your particular circumstances. i.e. that you are the sole tenant of the property at (address) and have resided there since (date) no other person lives or has lived at that address since you commenced the tenancy . All items contained within the property are owned by (your name) and no items withwiin the property are owned by any other person. etc etc

The Sherriff's Office are HCEO's based in Croydon but work nationwide - don't often crop up here as they are more "reasonable" than some.

In reply to the post asking if we are in contact still, not anymore after today .... he is the type to bury his head in the sand and hope it will all go away, shame really because I did really like him :-(
