    • 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.

    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.

    • 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,

 

Looking for some advice regarding an IVA. Long story cut short, had substantial loan /credit card payments each month, girlfriend was working, quit work due to becoming pregnant (unplanned) and now we’re living on one wage. Cut down to a single car, cut out all un-necessary spending, living to a strict budget and been consulting with CCCs.Current debt (all in my name – occurred before meeting my partner) was under some control, however due to reduction in income, unable to meet monthly obligations.

 

Debt value is £32000 – one creditor whom was totally un-reasonable regarding reduced payment plan has issued CCJ. CCCs has now recommended IVA. I’m in the process of setting this up, however since this has started, which has taken nearly 6 weeks already my partners dad has basically flipped his lid over the whole matter, as its now come to his attention and has offered a lump sum of £6000.

 

He’s basically told me to offer this into a lump sum payment and see if many of the debts can be written off.What are my options with a £6000 cash sum towards £32000 worth of debt? I cannot afford to repay the debt so would creditors except a reduced cash settlement in an IVA?I’m waiting for CCCs to asses if this viable, however wondering if I’d be better of calling creditors and seeing if they’d except a cash settlement.…

 

Many thanks...

Hi Iv-techmanGoing from the figures you have provided above, the dividend would roughly be 18p/£ (for every pound you owe, the creditor would get 18p back) however this is not taking into account the IP fee's on the IVA. After fee's of say for example £1850 for nominee fee and £1500 for Supervisor fee it is possible that the overall dividend could be below 10p/£ which is a low dividend in the eyes of the creditors. What would work in your favour is if you were to have no disposable income to offer to your creditors as they would then see it as that is all that they would be able to get from you. If you did have a disposable income then the IVA proposal could be modified by your creditors which could mean that whatever disposable income you have must be contributed into the IVA for 5 years (unless modified by creditors)so to increase the overall dividend avaliable to creditors.No licensed IP will do an IVA without a fee due to the work that is put into drafting your proposal and also looking after the IVA after the acceptance meeting. I would advise that you speak to a debt helpline such as Debt Free Direct or National Debt help line who will provide you with free advice and will normally help you decide which is the best course of action. **Please bare in mind that I am training in debt advice and there may be many other options that are available to you**

Hi

 

As another poster has put, have you been fully advised on all your options including bankruptcy?

 

On the full & final settlement issue, below is a useful fact sheet from National Debtline that may help

 

http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/factsheet.php?page=24_full_and_final_settlement_offers

 

More info on your overall circumstances needed really to help further.

 

With all debt solutions you really need to fully understand anything you enter into or sign up to especially an IVA and even more so if you own your home in my opinion.

 

Might also be worth looking through the Nat Debtline & CAB links below

Always best to be absolutely sure

 

Best wishes

Have you considered bankruptcy? Or do you have too many assets? Might be a way to a clean start if not.

 

Hi,I have, wasn't too sure about surplus cash each month, as courts could decide to make my pay this for up to three years even after being discharged.Managed to now get lump sum funds up to £8500 - currently not paying creditors any payments apart from CCJ in hope they'll accept full and final offer - but still going ahead wth IVA its now in draft stages with CCCS.Wish I had £32000 - I'd just pay them all and never take another loan as long as I live - learnt my lesson in regards to credit. sadly my partner wants to buy a house, so she is keen for all debts to be gone quickly as possible and for me to start trying to repair my credit file...firstly though, I need to get my debts gone, and currently have £8500 to repay £32000. Written to all creditors offering them equal share of £8500 - so far all have refused offer.
