    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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 im just wondering if you can help with an income and expenditure form, and what information do I need for the court hearing? I have been advised not to do an income/expenditure form over the phone, but to post instead. Can anyone shed any light on this? the arrears are £22,000, we have done a rough expenditure form and we are able to offer £150 overpayment each month.

Hi there, you should not do an i & e over the phone, they will bully you into offering more than you can afford. Affixed is the budget sheet we normally use in these cases (it calculates automatically as you fill it in).

 

Have you responded to the court claim? you should have had an N11M defence form with the possession papers?

 

How many years are left on the mortgage?

Are there any charges included in the arrears amount of £22k?

Who is the lender?

How much of the 22k is charges?

 

You need to get a statement to court this week if your hearing is on 9th May - I can help you with that.

Yes, you should return that to the court before the hearing, with a statement attached for Question 27, explaining your circumstances/offer of payment etc. If you read the link I posted above it will show you

hi im just filling out the claim form. I wasn't sure what to answer for these two questions:

5. Do you want the court to consider whether or not the terms of your original agreement are fair?

6. Do you intend to apply to the court for an order changing the terms of your loan agreement (a time order)?

I have just read in the link that you provided above that we could ask the court or mortgage lender to change the mortgage type. Would we still be elligible to do this even if the arrears on the mortgage amount to £22,000? This would help us alot, as the morgage at the moment is interest only. We ideally want a mortgage that is repayment, so we are working closer to making the house ours. Would it be wise to state this on the court form and to ask the mortgage lender?

If you change the mortgage to repayment the monthly payments will increase dramatically

 

It would probably be better just to do a witness statement with a budget sheet attached and take that to the court by the end of this week. There is an example of how to set out a witness statement on page 13 of the guide - you just amend to suit your circumstances.

 

You should include the following paragraph:

 

  • We wish to bring to the court's attention that the arrears figure the Claimant pleads contains late payment charges and therefore is not a true reflection of the arrears situation.

In terms of the arrears balance of £22,000, which like you said is not a true reflection of the arrears situation, should we contact the mortgage provider to get a clear figure of how much is the real arrears and how much are added charges. In my opinion it would be favourable for the judge to see a clear picture of how much the 'real arrears' are. Would it be possible to ask the judge if they are able to levy these charges?

I doubt if you'll get that information before the hearing. Do you have a recent mortgage statement that shows the charges ?

you are supposed to get an annual statement from them. However if you mention in your witness statement that the arrears figure is not correct the judge has to consider that fact and will probably ask the lender to provide information

As I said in a previous post - you don't need to complete the form - you can take a witness statement with the budget sheet attached to the court before the end of the week. Take it in and ask the court staff to put it in the file for the judge to read. You will need to keep a copy of it for yourself so you have one to refer to in the hearing.

 

Have you written the witness statement yet ?

Hi, received your message - your statement looks fine (just check a few placed where words are running into each other, although it may be because you have copied it into the message.

 

Make sure you take a copy of it for yourselves before handing it into the court and ensure the budget sheet and statement are securely stapled together before you hand it in.
