    • 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.

HSBC Mortgage PPI **** SUCCESS ****

All,

 

After a successful battle with Barclays Partner Finance over charges and a PPI reclaim with Aqua that proved successful (thanks to the great people on here and MSE) I have gone through the little paperwork I still have, to see what else I could look at. I have placed claims with HFC on another thread for some retail loans on electrical goods but also found the policy number of my Mortgage PPI through HSBC

 

As a background I opened my old student account with Midland in 94 and did all my banking with them for years including all loans, my credit card and then mortgage when I got married in 2000. I do not have the detail for this policy, but rather for my single policy that was opened when I bought my house in 2003 after my divorce.

 

My mortgage was in my name only and the paperwork was made out with a "sign here, here and here" attitude in the bank.

 

Mortgage PPI was set up, which I just thought was the norm - exactly as had happed 3 years earlier. At the time I had 6 months full and 6 months half pay, working for a company I had been with for 3 years and are the biggest brand in the world (not much chance of losing my job). I had life and critical income cover and an income protection policy - all through HSBC Life.

 

If I'm honest, looking back I think it is far too much cover, but I have been told that it sounds about right from some people. After changing mortgage in 2006 I discovered that MPPI is not a necessary part of buying a mortgage, nor does it have to be with the organisation that sells the mortgage either if chosen.

 

The policy ran through till 2007 when I cancelled it (stupidly presumed that it would be cancelled at the time my mortgage with them ended) and I've not had MPPI now for 4 1/2 years and I've never had it questioned by my mortgage provider (changed again in 2008)

 

I suppose i'm asking if people think I have a valid argument for complaining to HSBC that the MPPI wasn't necesserily in my best interests based on the cover I already had with them?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I have formatted the post for you to make it easier to read.

 

Yes you can claim. I guess the premiums were a fixed amount eacc month?

 

Do you have the statements showing the amounts and the dates of payment.

 

Short answer is yes you can reclaim this.

Hi IMS, most appreciated (again!!) No idea, why it wont format when I post, even after I edit. Might be due to work internet? Anyway all I have was a letter than showed the policy account number and the payment owed when I cancelled the DD in December 2007. I had no paperwork for the policy, couldn't get any sense out of anyone at HSBC Life, so cancelled the DD with a view to getting a reponse. It showed the premium that was outstanding - £29.72, so I'm guessing that the monthly payment wont be too different to that figure each month previosuly from 2003. The premium was obviously paid each month.

I was thinking the same. Based on a figure between £25-£30 per month then i'm pretty sure I paid over £1k for this cover, that wasn't necessary in my opinion. I'd like any redress (if there is one) to be acurate. Based on the sums and time frame then there should be a hefty chunk of interest to go on top of that too. Do you think my claim is a valid one and my opinion of a miss-sell is correct? I was already covered, no option to go somewhere else for cover if required, paperwork drawn up at same time and told to sign (i'm aware this is very hard to prove) hence the fact I had so many other insurances through HSBC at the same time is what I would rather focus on

Well it looks like I haven't needed to SAR them. I'd actually posted the FOS form in Nov to them, and was expecting a wait. Thought i'd get some info from the SAR in anticipation for an intial rejection, as seems to be the case with MPPI.

 

However a letter arrived yesterday with an offer that was almost double what I was expecting with 8% stat on top. This would be a massive help in paying off a loan and paying off an overdraft. Would put me around £200 a month better off, which is perfect timing as I am about to move back into my home (after 2 years in different parts of the UK and my house rented out). I don't have a breakdown of payment unfortunately but it looks like it covers payment back to 2000 on the old MPPI I had with my ex wife. I've just run my almost £30 payment back to 2003 then the same back to Feb 2000 (but at half the rate) and its near as damn it to what they have offered. Shame the tax man gets £500 but can't complain too much!

Hi IMS

 

Yes i've put into a spreadsheet going back to 2000 when i bought my first house. For the first bit i've guessed at around £13 (half of what I expect the premium would have been) and then put in the £29 from June 2003 through till Nov 2007. It seems to work out pretty much what they have offered and the interest works out about right too. I only paid MPPI with HSBC in that time, so don't see how it could be wrong. Maybe a couple of £'s wrong at the most. Very happy indeed, and all for the cost of 5min to fill in and a stamp. At least i'm vindicated in the belief HSBC tried to sell me so many thing I didn't need, and being young(er) at the time, bought it!

 

Good luck to anyone in a similar position. Lets hope HFC are as generous, as i have exactly the same reasons in place - Income protection policy with HSBC covered me :-)

Thanks IMS, although I feel guilty about a well done, when I didn't really do anything, lol. As soon as money is banked (they took bank details so wont get cheque thank god!) i'll let you know. For the first time in a few years i will have some breathing space each month. Can't wait!!!!

 

 

Cheers :-)

All,Money landed in account today. 2 weeks after they received my acceptance. I did check my account at 9:30 this morning and it wasn't there, however after spending 30min on the phone (The 2 tel numbers on the letter didn't work!) and eventually speaking to someone in the relevant department, he told me that my payment had been made on the 3rd and had I checked my account. Low and behold the money was there now! Very pleased. Loads of bills paid this afternoon

Hi joncow75

 

I am in the process of trying to claim PPI from HSBC and noticed that you have had success from a very similar start date. Would you be willing to share the process you went through / letters you sent? Was your policy charged to your account as HSBC life? The basic scenario in my case is that I was sold this as compulsory in order to get my mortgage and the cover provided was offered through my employer!

 

Thank you for any help or advice you can give

 

Naith
