    • 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.

Hi there! :oops:

 

This is my first time posting on this site. I have read all the FAQs and been reading threads regularly to try and get my head round it all, but there is so much information, I keep getting confused.

 

However, I love the idea of fighting these big corporations for any and every penny we can get so I am up for a battle!

 

I have requested and received all my statements, and calculated the total owed.

I sent a prelim letter on 18th September, and got a response on 23rd Sep saying:

 

'I am sorry you have had to contact us about your bank charges. ... . I have referred your concerns to our Head Office team and they will let you have a response or update as quickly as they can but no later than 18th October ... '.

 

I have noticed from reading other threads that this is a fairly standard response. But what I can't work out is what to do next.

 

Do I await their deadlines? Or do I remind them of the original deadline? Or do I send an LBA now? :-?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Unless they comply with the request in your preliminary letter (which they won't!) you should send your LBA 14 days after your prelim. Your timetable not theirs!

Right - the 14 days are up, and Barclays have provided no further response.

 

Have just written out and posted the LBA for Barclays for £715.

 

Am feeling rather nervous, but also quite excited about the prospect of getting some cash towards my skiing fund!

 

I suppose if it goes to court, at least I can potentially claim back more money with the 8% interest charges - even if it does feel a bit scary.

 

My next job is to keep reading as much info as possible about filing a court claim - hope I'm still on the right track.:rolleyes:

Now having a very large alcoholic beverage because I have just filed my court claim using MCOL! Terrifying!:D

 

I have carefully followed all the instructions on Moneyclaim and using this site (I hope...) but am starting to feel anxious as I don't understand where I could have attached a copy of my schedule of charges to this online claim. Have I missed something or do I not need to attach it?

 

Also am I now supposed to send a letter to the bank with another copy of the schedule of charges with 8% interest? I can't find a template in the library. Has anyone already written a similar letter?

 

Thanks for all help in advance. :rolleyes:

Hi, and welcome to the club!

 

 

Print out two copies of the schedule which include the 8% interest and send one to:

The Court Manager

Money Claim Online

Northampton County Court

21-27 St. Katharine's Street

Northampton

NN1 2LH

 

quoting your Claim Reference number on the schedule.

 

and the other to:

 

Barclays Bank PLC

Litigation and Disputes team

Level 29

1 Churchill Place

London

E14 5HP

 

with the reference number on the letters they have been sending to you.

 

With each Schedule,enclose a covering note asking that they attach it to your file and that you've sent a copy to the other party.

Thanks so much for your swift response - and addresses too!

 

Much appreciation for the clarification and I'm glad that it is not too confusing considering I am nearly at the end of my very large drink now!!!

Thanks for the encouragement Sandbag. This is all a bit scary!:o

 

I will just wait now before I hear a response from MCOL about the court dates.

 

I have also just read your thread and it is very reassuring to know that you have recently been through all of this with Barclays.

From your experiences do you think I should start preparing a court bundle now and did you just use the example court bundle in the library? Did you have to add much information to it?

 

Good luck in getting your huge refund back too!

That could be an amazing holiday!!! :D

Hiya. I just wondred if you could help me by posting up the txt you used to file your MCOL. And how did you work out the 8% charges.

 

Thanks, mike

Hi there Boxxer,

 

If you go to the main forum page for this website and look at the 'Bank Templates Library' - go to no. 5 'MCOL Particulars of Claim' gives you the basic template for the bulk of your MCOL claim - just adapt it to suit your needs.

 

With respect to the 8% interest charges - you will find the spreadsheets to calculate the interest on the same page - no. 6.

 

Hope this helps.

It's probably best to follow these links rather than copying my text just in case I made mistakes in adapting the text to suit my needs!

Best of luck :-)

Thanks again!

Mike

i'm no mathmatician mike and my husband would definitely tell you not to take my sums as read!!!

 

but i am claiming for £715 and the interest works out to be £140 roughly

 

someone else's thread i read was claiming for £4000 and the interest was around £800

so give or take how many claims we have made early in the 6 years or more recently that probably sounds fair

 

if you've used the spreadsheet it should be right - i have just let it do the sums and assumed it's right! I hope so!
