    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

OK,  thanks for the info.  So I don't have to read all through this thread can you please answer the following:

 

How much are the arrears?

When did you last make a payment?

Are you able to offer any payment at all ?

 

While I understand that the issue of charges and fees is important that can be dealt with once we have secured the roof over your head as that is by far the priority.

 

To be perfectly honest, unless you can come to an agreement with Coast in the next few days then you are going to have to attend the possession hearing - we can help you with the defence to send in, provided we have something to defend with i.e. a payment arrangement.     I know you say you can't face a court hearing but if you don't attend the judge will have no option but to grant possession in your absence - which means eviction.  We would then be in a position whereby we need to defend eviction action.     

 

By the way, possession hearings are conducted in a room around a table with the judge and the two parties concerned - it's not a court room with a jury like on TV - it's a totally different scenario and the judge will always try to make you feel comfortable.

 

You say a solicitor has been dealing with this - how much have you been paying them?

Thanks Ell-enn for this very helpful info - the arrears balance is around £20K, that's including all their fees and charges, recent legal fees etc. Last payment was made quite some time ago possibly 2+ years ago.

 

I had contacted them and asked them if they would accept a significantly reduced settlement figure and that if it was reasonable i may be able to ask family to help but they did not even respond to this and continued with their court proceedings.

 

The lawyer is going to try and negotiate with them over the next few days.  Mates rates for lawyer so thats good news although this is not their area of expertise.

If it's not the lawyer's area of expertise then there could be a lot they are unaware of.  What terms are they going to try and negotiate ?

 

Is it still a possibility that family may be able to help ?

I'm not sure what terms they are going to negotiate, I did mention that there were lots of illegal charges and fees on the account that needed to be deducted with interest but they didn't agree.

 

My parents can help but they are retired and in their 80's and they are both unwell.   So they can help but not much.

 

A few years ago Welcome offered me a settlement figure of £3.5K - I would have snapped that up then if i could but if they were to offer similar now I would definitely ask my parents, i don't think they will offer that low though (If they do at all!)

Do you still have the letter offering £3.5k settlement?

Hi Ell-enn, I have been making the mortgage payment for the house for the last 7/8 months - including a small amount of £20 towards the arrears.

 

I am also paying council tax (although this months payment has not gone through).  There are no other loans, only small debt with Vanquis.   Have defaulted on 2 small other loans.

 

Otherwise nothing being paid out that does not need to be (apart from Netflix and my Microsoft Office Subscription) - otherwise we manage on the minimum.   Not bought any new clothes or shoes for a long time.   We are healthy and that all that counts but we don't want to lose our home that's for sure

 

Hiya Dx

 

Im pretty sure It was phone calls rather than letters, but ill check.. I remember they called and were extremely friendly and offered at one stage a payment of £3k to settle the debt- which if I had of had that I would have done

 

Hi Peter

Not really any other debts.

Only small credit card about £600 - couple of other accounts defaulted (not massive amounts about £1300)

Value of Property Quick Sale £250

Mortgage £170k +£50K  i owe to my parents for paying for building work a while ago.

 

I really don't even want to look at housing options I really will find that incredibly depressing.  

 

to be honest I'm so stressed out about this whole thing and worried about my parents and family at the moment that,

 

I'm really thinking about just contacting the TLT solicitors and talking to them about what I need to do to get out of going to court because I really don't think mentally i'm in a strong enough place to be able to handle that at the moment. 

 

Its been a tough ride for a while

 

this thread is worthy of a re read from post 158, this is the 2nd time they have tried, the 1st time they abandoned the repo attempt, and they've added +£800 unlawful legal fees too , the original loan was only £15k with 50% int in 2007!!

Update: In court last week.   Coast were represented by Council, neither TLT or Coast were present.  They were pursuing for possession/eviction - the judge granted a 2 week adjournment, due to personal circumstance and the fact that I had proof that I had to tried to contact them to negotiate a deal to which they did not respond.   

 

The court were also concerned that the court helpdesk advisor (that has been helping me the case and came into the courtroom with me) also contacted them and they also did not respond to her either.   

 

The judge was not impressed with that and basically gave me a 2 week adjournment to go away, contact Coast and try and negotiate a deal. 

 

There was a complication, the judge said that really if following protocol correctly she should grant the possession as Claimant pointed out that the loan had become fully payable and that a full demand for payment had been issued.   I wander if they are referring to the end of the contract because if so that is not until 2022.

 

I contacted Coast straight away and was connected with someone from Target to negotiate and was advised that no offer would be accepted and that only full settlement of the loan would be accepted which is around £19K.

 

No mention of the illegal charges on the account was mentioned in court as the Citizens advise legal advisor suggested this may only complicate things in the courtroom that day.

 

Having a good look at the original very difficult to read original agreement and the recon copy it looks as though amounts are different.  For example original loan agreement says advance amount is £15000, the recon copy says advance amount is £16500.00, including different monthly payments.

 

Requested from Target a letter of authority to allow someone else to negotiate on my account.  They said they would post last week and still not arrived.   

They said they could not email this, sent email and been trying to call but no answer from Coast Finance. No letter of Authority has arrived and no answer from phone as of yet! (25 mins on hold!)

 

Supposedly back in Court next Tuesday but awaiting notification from Court.

Court again recently after adjournment.  They dont have a reconstituted copy, what they sent me as a recon is actually a pre finance document.  (I didnt realise this wasnt a recon)  We have advised this to the court and the court have given them 7 days to produce the document (Ive been asking them for 11 years)  they are now trying to negoiate a settlement.

 

Are they allowed to even take me to court in the first place without a loan agreement or without a recon?

Yes but that's why we always say on every consumer credit related claim To CCA and CPR. Puts them to strict proof.

I think the case will be dismissed unless they can provide the recon

The original agreement is illegible and they need this be able to create the recon?

How can they create recon if they cant read the orig

WON. 

 

Went to court and Coast were trying to pursue loan on a pre -credit agreement that they were trying to pass off as a recon copy of the loan. They were unable to produce the original or recon and so they accepted 3.5k settlement (down from  17K). 

 

 Incredibly relieved for this to be over and cannot thank CAG/DX/Renegade and others from the team for their ongoing support on this over the years.

 

Without CAG's help over the years i don't know what would have happened to me.

 

I cannot thank this group enough for the advice & guidance over the years.
