    • 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,

Please can you help me,ive been going round & round in circles on the web :(

 

On 6th May 2012 i sold my car to a man who i only knew as Gary. After giving him all the paperwork etc i walked & totally forgot about my logbook so i phoned him & he said he would call back through with it but he didnt. Ive phoned him about five times now and he has different excuses,the latest from his girlfriend saying his in prison!

I phoned the Police and they just told me to contact DVLA. Ive been on the DVLA website and i can write to them but they need the new owners name and address,which ive asked his girlfriend for and she won't give me it saying i need to speak to Gary (who's in jail)

So im totally at a loss what to do? He's basically through my stupidity stolen my logbook and i think im probably going to get in serious trouble. But theres no forms i can fill in that has this problem. I dont even think he has the car anymore. Please tell me if theres anything i can do.

He may have paid but he (or his accomplices) are not playing it straight. Time for you to do the same.

 

Remember the original Thomas Crown Affair film?

Faye Dunaway gave Steve McQueen (or the other way around) a desk sign saying "Think dirty"

 

Protect yourself using their levels of openness! Tell them it is stolen - which it is, as they have not fully completed their side of the bargain.

 

And protect your Dad from all this - you only ever have one Dad and he is special.

Thanks Tony..Ive always been an honest person,maybe thats where im going wrong.

I bought a car about 6yrs ago from a used car dealer and AGAIN in all the small talk and document swapping,i got half way home in the new car and the dealer foned me to say i hadn't paid for it! So i apologized and went back and paid lol,it was because we were talking.

Anyway his girlfriend or someone has just text me to say its at a car dealers in Heckmondwike,West Yorkshire,so il phone them in the morning and see what happens. If your right and law is that he hasnt kept up his side of the sale then il report it stolen i guess? I just dont want to get in trouble. Is that the law then Tony? If it is then il do it. Just that im about to start a new job and there will be a CRB check and conspiracy to 'do whatever it is' wont look good.. But yeh i only have one dad and this would put him back in hospital he's so ill and worries.

A CRB check is to find out about an existing Criminal Record (possibly taking in pending serious matters too).

Assuming there are no skeletons in your cupboard, for you to acquire a Criminal Record there must first be a prosecution - then a conviction.

You are on good ground if you kept to your side and the other side failed to do the same.

 

Until then don't worry - but get busy to get this resolved. By any means!

 

And come back here with problems and news. There are many here with far deeper knowledge than me and we are all here to help!

As I was the only person posting other than the OP, I can only assume this is directed at me. Please explain where I have suggest such a thing as lying to the Police.

 

 

Also, as "Site Team" can you also explain the absence of posts prior to number 3 above. You will note the OP thanks me for something that is not there. Odd?

From memory it would have been a suggestion to Thomas Crown Affair's 'think dirty' attitude when dealing with the Buyer who failed to keep his end of the deal concerning the paperwork. He does not deserve an apologetic 'softly softly' approach.

To think otherwise is condoning those failing to stick to what is agreed and caused the OP's predicament.

 

EDIT

While writing the above the absence of post(s) has been confirmed. My question above remains as does a confirmation it is Site's wishes that those failing to stick to what they agreed should be treated with a political correctness sooner than being correctly (in my view) reported for the inconvenience and potential liabilities he has created.

The opening post confirms 'logbook has been stolen', and as it is no longer in the possession of the registered keeper, the detail could now be anybody's as could the vehicle use/misuse.

 

The police would of course be able to give advice once they are in possession of everything occurring to date, but for now there is a vehicle out there, doing deeds that the original owner may be in some way culpable.

Hi everyone,sorry about the delay in responding.

I had another 'dodgy' phone conversation with the buyers girlfriend and she told me that the car was now at a garage in Huddersfield,i phoned them but no answer so decided to phone DVLA.

They told me to put it all in writing to them,so i did and sent it off recorded delivery. So im just awaiting my punishment i suppose. They did tell me when i phoned that the car was still in my name :/

For further ref for others in this position and for the people on the thread who have commented i will come back and let you know what happens to me.

Thank you all :)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to update you on the outcome for future ref. I wrote to DVLA and in the letter i told them that the buyer wouldnt give me the log book back and that i didnt have his contact details and that i had tried the police,basically giving them as much info as possible which wasnt a lot to be honest. Anyway they finally sent me a acknowledgement slip saying that it confirmed that i was no longer the registered keeper of the vehicle registration number ##### and that i have to keep it safe,which i will!

I hope this will be the end of it but you never know :)

Thanks for your help :)
