    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • 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!!

    • 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.

Many thanks Jan, and to everybody else who have provided their best wishes, the support is much appreciated. To think there are people out there who are genuinely willing me to win is fantastic - just what the doctor ordered.

 

I wish I could provide more details at the moment (I'm itching to post them) as it may help some of you with similar cases, especially what I have uncovered in terms of company procedures (yes Gents there are more surprises to come).

 

You're a cracking bunch, many thanks again for all your support.

Hi All,

 

Part of my claim includes damage for Invasion of Privacy. This was made under Article 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998. The defence have pointed out that there is no remedy or provision within the Act for compensation.

 

My property was attended without notification or appointment and intrusions made as to the contents and state of the property both front and rear. The intrusions were so great, details of the contents of the property and personal details were uploaded onto Birmingham Midshires' systems.

 

There are many 'Superstars' in particular footballers who have made a claim for this, does anybody have any experience or ideas with this?

 

Human Rights Act 1998

 

Article 8 Right to respect for private and family life

 

1 Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

2 There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Any comments much appreciated.

All,

THE DATA PROTECTION PRINCIPLES

2. Personal data shall be obtained only for one or more specified and lawful purposes, and shall not be further processed in any manner incompatible with that purpose or those purposes.

 

3. Personal data shall be adequate, relevant and not excessive in relation to the purpose or purposes for which they are processed.

5. Personal data processed for any purpose or purposes shall not be kept for longer than is necessary for that purpose or those purposes.

 

Where your information has been passed to others and you have been denied information, you should request that it is destroyed as in S5 above. The others are self explanatory, but give me a shout if you need expansion.

 

There is a lot more to this Act, in particular S7 &S 10, and the Human Rights Act 1998.

Hi Tide,

 

Hows your court clase going - any news yet!!

 

Hubby, is making a slow recovery and hopefully things will be back to normal in the next few weeks. Lets hope we can keep the Mortgage under control, so they do not repossess.....It has bee a very trying time and a costly one with hubby not being able to see properly, you just don't know how important your eyes are!! untill you do not have them at full strength. The worst is over and we are now moving forward more positively with other claims.

Hi DS,

 

Sorry I haven't been back to you sooner. Great news with Hubby. Maggie also seems to be a bit stronger - together we stand!

 

Court case going fine, although complicated. Still getting a bit of intimidation from their ten (10) solicitors, but have a few aces up my sleeve. How can they be so thick?

 

Wish Hubby all the best.

Not sure if this is of any help Tide Invasion of privacy - Times Online

 

Many thanks Andrew1,

 

It was a great help, as all the PM's and other support I've had. I'm not going out there to come second. Any other help greatly appreciated.

 

You will be pleased to know that they cannot 'stay' this claim.

 

Details to follow, looking to expose this naughty situation and working around the clock with my 'Helpers'.

 

Feel like Santa!

Jan

 

Many thanks Jan, it's great to know so many people are rooting for me.

 

I won't let you all down, Court next week, but may be ongoing for a while. I won't let them sleep - in the name of all those who have been repossessed.

I have now received the sixth contradictary statement from the defendents. I don't think the Judge is going to be too happy when he finds out they are trying to pull the wool over his eyes.

 

The Defendants claim that I have never paid any charges in the past, and they will not pursue me for them in the future.

 

Let me see.

 

If you go into a shop and steal an apple. That is theft. When you are found out, you return the apple to the shop. Nobody has been harmed or has suffered a loss, therefore this behaviour is acceptable.

 

I don't think so.

 

The facts are there was intention to permantly deprive all in the name of profit.

 

There is the Mens Rea and the Actus Reus in several areas.

 

I am aware that the o/s read these posts, and will be pushing for a full criminal investigation for theft and fraud in the future.

 

How, after repossessing a house and presenting financial information in support can Halifax possibly justify their position without a report from a suitably qualified accountant / professional.

 

If this expert is not employed (independent) the banks can say whatever they like, as is the case here.

 

I've instructed a forensic accountant to scrutinise every statement provided, a barrister to present the findings and am struggling to keep friends and family away from the Court, as they are incensed that the bank turned up mob handed at the last hearing.

 

Whatever the outcome, it will go worldwide. Welcome to the big stage guys.

Yes - best of luck from me as well.

 

There are a few people on here with pending possessions and as I am very rusty in my expertise I was searching the net for help - the only independant site i could find was direct.gov.uk where there is a section on arrears and a PDF guidance for mortgages taken out recently from the FSA. I am horrified that some of the fiancial institututions even if they have no choice but to re-possess the house - make the experience even more difficult than it is -and that is probable putting it mildly. Also I think they should be accountable for irresponsible lending - plus there should be a compulsory insurance scheme against unemployment/illness - as if all paid it it would be cheaper - and at the moment the most vunerable people are the ones who can not afford it in the first place.

Jansus,

 

Anybody who is in such a position should insist that a FULL analysis is carried out on their account, the figures put forward by the bank or bs are absolutely correct, and ensure that none of the amounts put forward as arrears include any interest calculated on any charges made. These should be exact, else any possession can be appealed within THREE WEEKS of the Court Order. Also, you MUST attend Court for the hearing to dispute any application if they have made charges, and if you are in difficulty, make a reasonable offer to resolve the position given your circumstances. If not, they will get Judgement by Default.

 

Look for every discrepancy - the lender will more than likely attempt to claim that the arrears are more than they actually are. Dispute everything until you have clarity that it is correct. Bear in mind mortgages don't fall under the Consumer Credit Act 2006.

 

Be careful where they say that the charges were placed in one account, and the interest / capital were placed in another.

 

This can buy time whilst you get the evidence to prove that any charges are unlawful (probably subject to OFT hearing 14th Jan - 28 Feb), and if repossession is not granted, will put you in a stronger position.

Hi All,

 

Got past the next stage. They rolled out the tanks as usual and went for the kill. I've now got 28 days to assemble my team. They went all out to strike the matter out and failed. The Judge saw straight through them.

 

I'm being careful with my words as you can understand, but next time I'll have a lot more ammo than the o/s - they've used up all their bullets.

 

Still having to bite my lip, but the outset is very good.

PS you've looked Christmassy all through the year, now your Avatar will fit the bill!
