    • You can't, but you can (and really should) bring up the point that the lender isn't meeting their legal obligations in selling the property for fair market value. You'll have to do this in court, though.     A receiver is bought in by the lender, not you. If they're a registered insolvency practitioner, you may be able to raise a complaint to the insolvency service but there are no guarantees here. Many receivers are also registered with the RICS and self-regulate so if you know the name of the receiver you can check there, again no guarantees.   https://www.rics.org/surveyor-careers/career-development/accreditations/registered-property-receivership-scheme

    • Lolerz - I don't understand you.  Rebuked you?   No. I simply replied to your orange comments with legal facts as I know them.  I've already worked through the s42 and s146 issues - over the last 3-4y - and these issues are (mostly) resolved legally.  In terms of posting evidence.  Sure I can post some.  But my most recent questions have been a) how can I enforce a sale before trial?  And b) how can I make a complaint and/or a claim v receiver? (E.g. to which body do I complain?).  At the mo I'm asking for some helpful pointers on those specific questions??  I'm not asking for help with how to prove or present evidence. Fwiw - all evidence for trial has been disclosed (although additions are poss). The lender sent me like 10,000 emails and docs.  There's also 000s of emails, docs, photos, videos, recordings and texts that relate to freeholders/ me.   I read, filed and categorised everything for ease of future reference.  Witness statements and evidence were prepared for trial in the 42 and 146 matters. (now joined with current claim to save duplication).  I've lived the process before.  My current statement and linked evidence has taken like 6 months to draft/ write - to ensure I can succinctly prove my defence and counterclaim points.   Whether I can convince a judge at trial w/o lawyer / barrister is debatable 🙄   But I've prepared.  And continue to try better prepare - which is why I visit this site (and clinics).  This is NOT my business or expertise at all.  I'm just trying.  Not that anyone should ever have to justify why they need help if they ask politely! 
    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.

    • 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.

Hello

 

Does anyone have anysuggestions for contacting Scottish Power?

 

I moved into a new house that they provided atthe start of June

- attempted to try and call them to give meter readings without success, being kept on hold,

 

so waited a couple of weeks until my landline was installed so it would cost me less.

 

Several attempts later, being kept on hold for over half an hour at a time and being passed between sales, new accounts and meter readings

 

whenever I did get through to someone I gave up and proceeded to start a switch to EON

- which I had always intended to do as I was with them at my previous house.

 

They have now switched my electric over to them but SP have stopped the gas switch

- need to contact SP to sort out but several hours on hold, being passed between departments I am still no nearer.

 

After being on hoild nearly an hour on Friday I decided to send an email instead explaining the situation

- auto-response said I would get a reply in 72 hours - 144 hours later I am still waiting!!

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

I use SP and have an online account for readings and paperless bills which are cheaper.

I have to speak as I find and after 10 years with SP I can honestly say I've had no issues and pay less than anyone I know with a similar house for gas and electric.

 

It's the nature of cag that we see the complaints but this is my experience of them.

I would say that goes for most companies, we only see the small amount of complaints, not the majority of those with no complaint.

Despite the initial positive response from 'Gerry', 6weeks later I am no nearer getting rid of Scottish power out of my life.I have now been able to switch my gas but despite giving them accurate meter readings for both electric and gas they sent estimated bills for both, after 4 emails sent without response they said they would resend them, as per the correct readings. Received the gas one straight away, over 2 weeks later am still waiting for the electric. Sent 3 more emails overthe last week and not one response. Got home Friday to find they have referred us to a debt collection company for non-payment over the over-charged bill with a £22 admin charge added on. I have been doing my best to get this resolved for 6weeks now, the only other thing I could have been to conclude it sooner would have been to pay the over-charged bills, which I am in now way prepared to do and am now even more lost as to where to go - all I want are 2 correct bills that I can pay at the same time and forget this awful company even exist!!

Contact the dca and tell them that the account is in dispute. Tell them you've tried to resolve it but are waiting on Scottish power.
