    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 guys can someone please help me with this.....

Just so you know I try to post each of my queries on different debts seperately to avoid confusion.

 

I have an outstanding debt with Capitalone which they have now defaulted.

 

This has been passed to Cougar financial and I have recieved a letter from Power2Contact today on behalf of Capital one

telling me if I do not contact them within 72 hours they will contact me at my property.

 

Luckily for the moment they dont know my new address as I have just moved 3 weeks ago

but I will be informing Capitalone when I know where I stand with this.

 

Im panicking now incase they try and take my belongings/enter my home etc...

 

.can someone please explain what rights and or legal standing they have please??!!!

 

My intention has always been to repay but it doesnt sound like I have time no to send a letter

and for them to respond before this 72 hour deadline. I

 

m not ringing them but want to know what my next steps should be and if I should be worried......:!:

Well you can stop panicking. P2C have no legal rights over you and cannot enter your home and cannot take anything that belongs to you.

 

These are simply doorstep collectors who will try and get some money from you. They are generally on a commission for doing so.

 

You are perfectly within your rights to tell them to "do one" if they do turn up. More often than not, they don't turn up.

 

In order for someone to come into your home they would need to take you to court, win and then you not comply with the court's judgement.

 

So, tell us the history of this debt please.

 

Knowing CAP1 there will be penalty charges on the account which you can claim back.

Phewff!!!!

Thanks so much for that....I suspected as much the intimidating little sods grrrr.....

 

Ive posted about my debts as I started this long journey but heres a breakdown of this one...

 

.myself and hubby have lived on Student loans and benefits alone for a long while now and I decided enough was enough and stopped paying my debts as we were drowning.

 

The plan has been with all debts to wait until they defaulted then make some payment arrangement,

this was so that on our credit files the 6 year drop off begins as soon as the default is registered rather than with an arrangement to pay status

which wouldnt start the 6 year drop off until its satisfied.

 

So, they sent lots of letters, phonecalls which I blanked and have issued a Notice of Default and have now defaulted.

I have only received some of these letters just yesterday as we moved house about 3/4 weeks ago

- my neighbour asked the workmen( who are in our old house doing odd repairs for the next tenant)

if she could have my post to give me, which they had stacked up.

 

I have all the letters that have arrived whilst we have been in new house so just sorting through them all really and trying to tackle everything in priority order.

 

This letter is dated 7 May 2013 from Power2Contact regarding the Capitalone creditcard.

 

Anything else which may help you to help me then just ask :)

 

Just wondering what to do now really ?.... :)

Just wondering what to do now really ?

 

Well my answer would be "not a lot at the moment"...certainly not in respect of P2C.

 

So, this Cap1 debt...have you got the statements for the account?

 

Any £12 late payment or over limit fees on there?

 

When was the last payment made on the account?

Hi ims21,

 

ok so the last payment was months ago,

 

Im not certain when but can find out .

I dont have the statements as I just chuck them as of recently,

used to keep everything in folders but got peed off squishing them all in files along with the rest of my life on paper...

 

Therell definately be charges and fees I know that for certain.

 

Would you say I should SAR them to get my file and the claim back the charges etc

 

?Also slightly concerned that they may call at old address when new tenants are there who may send them round my way....

As I say, if they do pitch up tell them to get lost.

 

You need have no fear of P2C...I can 100% assure you that they are completely toothless.

 

I know that you said that you have every intention of paying what you owe and in order to do that it would be wise to establish what you do actually owe, i.e. the figure with the charges and associated interest removed.

 

If you don't have your statements any longer then a SAR to Cap1 would be the way to go.

Hi should I send a letter to these people telling them I dont give permission to contact me at my home, or would they not take any notice either way. (I know they have no authority to do anything, just wondering if it would stop them turning up?)

 

Also...should I send a CCA request to Capital one/Cougar/power2contact?

 

Thanks alot

You could put a formal change of address letter in with your SAR.

 

Don't forget, they will probably let the other agents know your new address.

 

As you said, you are happy to pay them what is actually due so you are going to have to let them have your new address at some stage.

Ok, will do. Well, I am happy to pay them what we can afford....which isnt much, but thats what we can manage and until our situation changes then it will have to do. No worries about them having our new address as from what I can gather as long as we are paying something then they would be wise to accept this?? Am I right?

Cheers

Yes, they can't have what you haven't got.

 

Even if they took you to court, a judge would not require you to pay more than you can afford (after all of your priorities like rent/mortgage, food, utilities etc.)

Hi all, would anyone advise to CCA this debt to see if it enforceable before agreeing a repayment arrangement?

If its unenforceable Id rather take advantage of that rather than be paying a pound a month forever...?
