    • 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.

Hi

 

I have been following this forum for a while and need some advice.

 

Last year after a sales call from mbna, I asked verbally for no further calls to be made and for them to stop phoning. This year due to the current market, my income fell and I could no longer afford payments. I started receiving a number of calls from mbna. Each time I asked them to stop calling on my phone, and to put any correspondence in writing.

 

On the 27th April I wrote to them using the data protection subject access request. I also asked them in writing to stop calling. I have since written to them and asked them again to stop calling after one of their representatives stated that they could call me anytime on my phone despite my request for them to stop calling.

 

They wrote back and asked for £10 to provide the information requested under the data protection act. They finally sent thistome on the 1st of July 2009. (Outside the 40 day legal requirement)

 

I have logged a complaint with the information commissioner regarding the fact that they refuse to remove my contact details and have passed it on to aegis.

 

I issued them on the 10th June (received and signed for on the 11th) a request for a copy of my credit agreement and relative documents under the consumer credit act (sections 77- 78). In the information they sent me was a copy of my application which they claim is the credit agreement. I have attached this, along with a copy of their reply to my complaint about my contact numbers not being removed. There was no oriiginal terms and conditions or anything else relating to my consumer credit act request.

 

Any advice or counter letter would be appreciated. To date they still keep calling me and sending me their postcards saying they will be calling me.

To date they still keep calling me and sending me their postcards saying they will be calling me. They are outside the 12 (+2) days for a copy of the original credit agreement to be sent. Do I wait a few more days for the calender month to finish or be nice and write to them before that time.

 

Any advice or counter letter would be appreciated.

Hi from my own experience with MBNA do not believe a word they say on the phone, you will be told any thing to get a payment off you.

 

Have a look at my thread re MBNA you will see what a load of ****** they are. It would seem that you are in the same position I was in. In my case they had purchased all BOS sonycards then taken a copy of just the front of the agreement nothing else and then distroyed the originals.

 

With the document you have posted there are no prescribed terms and as such it is unenforceable under s127(3) of CCA 1974 (not that they will ever acknowledge that fact).

What should I do in terms of:

 

1) The continual calls from MBNA despite my requests both prior and during my dispute. In the access information they sent, there is a log of all the calls they have tried to make and conversations when I asked them to remove the information. I am in the view that despite both verbal and written requests, they are in breach of my date protection rights by refusing to remove the number and to continue calling me on this.

2) The unenforcable agreement. What should I send to them?

Hi RoyGB,

 

I have removed the attachment from your post above - despite your attempts, a lot of your personal data (full address, card a/c no, etc :eek:)was left showing through the paper you used to blank it out.

 

Oh, and you didn't blank out your name at all. Anonymity is a good idea on this forum so keep all this data hidden.

 

I think you owe Going Down a drink for drawing it to the Site Team's attention. ;)

 

Blank out the data with card or thicker paper before re-posting.

Hi RGB,

 

I've removed the attachment from the above post.

 

Your personal data was showing through where you had covered it with thin paper.

 

Please repost with name, address, a/c no, etc. blanked out properly so your data remains secure and you remain anonymous. ;)

What would you suggest I write?

 

I am still getting calls from mbna.

 

They were very kind to send me a record of the calls they have made, despite my repeated requests, both written and verbal, to remove my telephone numbers.

Hi if you check my thread you will see that the only way that I could stop the calls was by recording them then sending a copy of one of these calls and the harassment by phone letter by e-mail to Donna Pomfrey she is/was head of all legal services at MBNA when I was dealing with them. Other option is to change you phone number make it XDIR and then withhold the number.

Sent this and yet the phone calls and text messages continue. This was sent recorded delivery and signed for by mbna, but no reply has been given.

 

Need some ideas of what to send next and how to get the debt written off/ or token payment to pay off the account as full and final settlement/ or counter claim for compensation.

As an update, I sent MBNA a further letter complaining I have not received my CCA and a request under section 10 of the data protection act to remove my data and to stop calling me. Their response. An increase in calls and more threatening letters (The last one saying that from their checks, they have noted I am a homeowner and they may apply for a charge against the home) They have not replied to the contents of my letter, sent recorded delivery.

 

They did send a templated letter today which suggested a partitial settlement may be considered, but no reference to my letter. I am not in the financial position to do this. I am very angry that they have ignored my lawful requests for a cca, removal of my information, they continue to charge interest whilst the account is in dispute and are continuing threats. I feel like counter proposing that I will not make complaints to the oft, ect ect and pursue costs/ compensation of their continual offenses in return for a zero balance.

 

Anyone got any advice? I am getting a it fed up with sleepless nights.

sorry to hear your having sleeples nights, one thing to remember is it takes time to go through their process i.e. phone calls letters demands last chance another last chance. In the meantime they will do all sorts of dare i say illegal things like not reply, ignore letters etc. Just take a deep breath and continue but don't let it take over your life completely. You have to live also even with this over you most of us have been there and are still there but you need a balance if you can manage it.

 

Everyone is on hear to help, another thing to remember is everything they do illegally will not look in their favour if they take you to court and they know this....hope this helps a little.

Hi RGB,

 

I doubt your suggested counter proposal will be considered by them at this stage.

 

Next time they call, remind them that you are now recording all their calls to back up your complaint to the regulatory authorities about harassment.

 

Keep a log of all calls with the time and date.

Hi,

 

Im in the same boat as you roygoodbeat. I also have an mbna account which i originally took out with HFC.

 

You should complain to the OFT regarding the failure to respond to your CCA requests, gives you more ammo for later.

 

Have MBNA advised you that they are contacting HSBC(Beneficials owners) to obtain the original agreement? If so try sending an SAR to HSBC. Check out my thread:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/mbna/204693-haggis-mbna-enforceable-agreement-3.html

I have no legal qualifications whatsoever, so please check any input I have for accuracy. And please correct me if you disagree!

Hi RGB,

 

You could adapt this and send it to the new DCA - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/574-letter-when-account-has-been-passed-on-whilst-agreement-request-is-in-dispute

 

Earlier, other posters on your thread have asked if there are any penalty charges or PPI on the a/c, which you can reclaim.

 

What's the position about this. :)
