    • Just a typo change that I'd make for the last line. Maybe also add something that says "I assume you will be fully aware that you cannot rely on a clause of a contract that you do not produce."
    • Hello, Firstly, and most importantly I am sorry for your loss. I would go back to the bank with the death certificate and ask them to step in. Remind them firmly but politely that there is no limit for DD claims   Please let us know how you get on.
    • My wife is the named person to his bank account with him having Dementia being his daughter (I say named person she still is but he recently passed away and the deputyship application has now being stopped by the solicitor as it's no longer needed) We've only just got the Death Certificate so the bank will be the next step informing them. She went to the bank and explained the situation but even being his named person the bank said she didn't have the power to stop DD without any legal documents (virgin money) was the bank. She could have copies of bank statements that was about it.
    • I see you said you tried to stop the DD but it seems that didn't work. May I please ask why that didn't work? You should be asking your bank to cancel the DD and I don't see why they would have objected, hopefully you can clarify this. I agree that you should be making a claim here against your bank and ask them for a DD refund. There is no timeframes for this.
    • JK: Yeah That's correct. We left rent payment coming out of his bank account from January 2023 - August 2023 until we could find somewhere to sort out his belongings which was fine. I tried to give notice a few times from August 2023 asking for advice from Sanctuary housing how we went about this explaining his condition and that he was in a Nursing home from December 2022. I explained we don't have any legal powers to his account like POT but were in the process of going for Deputyship and that I was the named person to act on his behalf to speak with Santuary housing. I said we could provide details of his condition and proof he was now in a nursing home with date he moved in. This went ignored despite repeated attempts to contact them until a housing manager contacted us end of February 2024 and notice was finally accepted with his tenancy coming to an end March 22 2024. Although they have continued to take rental payments for the flat despite someone else living in it from the 1st April. I wasn't aware payments were still being taken till I checked his May banks statements. I had asked them to back date rental payments to August 2023 when I gave notice rather than just giving notice in March 2024 but they've ignored that bit. I don't see why they shouldn't give it back they've taken money they shouldn't have. Thanks DX, I wasn't aware we could do that for that length of time. I'll ask my wife to check with the bank this week

    • 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.

yup its not what we expected thats for sure... for me this is the 2nd charge, my first is fine... i may see if they will take the whole mortgage... but being a self employed musician, its not easy to get credit. Thankfully i feel i have crawled out of the vipers pit....If i did not have so much equity tied up from a previous house sale 10 years back i would have told them to stick it, but i could not lose all that hard earned... i could sell and pay off the lot and have quite a few grand over, but im going to bide my time, and sell up only to move out of the country altogether...till then will just try and keep on top...but the few months before i got sorted was a horrible stressful time, im sure could cause major health problems to some... I think they will get their just but till then its a hard fight....Good luck tomorrow.

You need to tell the court that they refused to accept payment over the phone or let you register to pay via their website. Did you make a note of the name of the person who refused to take payment and the time of the call ?

 

No, I didn't but I have an email from them saying I could not register for website payments

How much can you pay to your arrears each month. Over and above your monthly instalment?

 

My monthly payment is 331 and I have offered 120 on top of this. I have paid this amount this month even though they said they wouldn't accept it without a lump sum.

I have just received a new witness statement from Lightfoots solicitors by post. I have just over 2 hours to the court hearing, it is a statement of arrears from 2009 which was paid if full and never got to court. I do not know what to do now, I don't have time to sort this out.

Rorsarch, don't be so quick to judge - those arrears from 2009 were paid before a previous hearing. the current hearing is for more recent arrears

They have sent me a copy fo the statement of arrears from 2009 today to show me that they are going to use it at the hearing today, they were paid off in 5 weeks and were 50% fees. The arrears I am in court for today are from now.

I'm too quick to judge the new arrears that are present? For the second time? It's almost like someone can't afford their debts.

 

The arrears were just over one months mortgage on 1.7.09 and were paid by 17.7.09. This was over 4 years ago.

You are talking nonsense. If you have no arrears they can't take you to court, unless your loan has expired. Check your facts.

 

 

I was referring to this comment - whitsend stated clearly that the arrears were cleared in 2009 - the hearing is for current arrears. Telling someone they are talking nonsense isn't helpful

Of course I could not pay my debts otherwise I would not have been in court today. I have had to make some major changes so I can.

It went very well, even before we went in their solicitor said they would accept my offer. The judge said she was impressed that I had taken the time to prepare a statement and budget sheet. The Judge even set my first payment date 1st October and asked if I was sure I could pay that amount as if she took Morgan into consideration the lowest would have been £25, but I didn't want to be paying it forever. She didn't seem to have the new statement asking her to take into account the 2009 arrears.

So I got a suspended repossession order to pay an extra £120 per month. Thanks for you help Ell-enn, I can now sleep at night

That's great news..but why on earth did they still take you to court if their solicitor said they are going to accept anyway...ill tell you MORE FEES..... sods...

 

I don't think they expected me to turn up, their solicitor had another hearing at the same time and she had to ask the judge for more time to finish the other hearing, she had no paperwork with any figures on. She hadn't got my budget sheet either. When the judge asked why the offer hadn't been accepted prior to the hearing, her only response was that it would take me longer than they wanted for me to pay off the arrears. The lump sum I was asked for by Acenden was not even mentioned.

do you think they would have added this on to the fees? do check... but main thing is your in the clear well done... I wonder if they are backing back a bit as they seem to be very easy on me now as well... who knows... Cool stuff. x
