    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

why can you not have paid 'something' each month

 

totally not paying is never a good move.

 

you need to reclaim that additional building insurance when you already had one in place

 

you need to reclaim all those arrears and any other 'fees' they have levied you.

 

kennys cannot change the amounts set by the judge without going back to court

 

you must stop paying other debts

 

bar CTAX and util bills.

 

i'e like welcome finance [bet you reclaiming to do there?]

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

I had lots of payday loans that I cleared in Feb march April and

 

mortgage told me the award of arrears 2650 could be used as leui payments however then found they couldn't .

 

I have a secured welcome loan that I have now got set 0% intrest and will be clear in 5 years

 

I've been in a mega mess however moving forward

 

I'm in a much better position and hope to clear all the arrears in 10 years with Kensington and

 

Kensington decided they would only pay me half of the arrears 1325 and haven't applied them to the account

6 months after agreeing they had charged me ;

 

( I'm in a right panic ;( just filling budget sheet in and hopeing judge will be kind ;(

ok listen

 

sri to lecture again

 

but you MUST IGNORE ALL OTHER LOANS!!

 

your mortgage come FIRST!!

 

unless there is anything in the judgement box

that SAYS they can levy charges I think they Cannot

 

unless the judgement was just for the arrears?

 

they should be giving you the full £2650+interest

 

did you do the spreadsheet?

No he won't so you are both pretty even :). Is this your first ever eviction hearing ?

 

As I said before I have managed to fend off a few hearings.

 

Not something I am proud off in all honesty but at the same time could not be helped.

 

Classic case of burying my head in the sand..

 

the worse it got the deeper my head.

 

Until the eviction notices.

 

I have never been so scared in my life.

 

I done it though. ..with the help and support from on here.

 

Like I said though I went to court three times and have been threatened a fourth.

 

As long as you can show you can afford paying and make a payment of some sort before the hearing I am really.

 

sure you will be ok.

the suspended possession order was issued in oct 2007 for my monthly payment plus £50.00 i think i need to dig it out as it was nearly 6 yearslink3.gif ago i will post later the exact amount

 

if this is true

kennys have/had no right to add charges nor try and up the payments.

I had a suspended warrant in 2007 issued

 

the monthly was £400 + £50 off the arrears

 

however ive been on interest only and the monthly now is £676.00

 

im making a payment tomo £480

 

then my offer is £850 a month starting end of june

 

they're not happy with that

 

my wife only started work in October

 

I paid £750 a month in sept, October, dec and £800 in jan

 

however as the arrangement of 3 months finished in December

 

Kensington slapped the £50 arrears fee on in jan as no arrangement was set up

 

this is when I asked if the refund of £1325 could be used to pay feb and march payment to help me clear other debts

 

filling in budget sheet as we speak

 

cant seem to download the budget sheet

 

im cacking my pants now as on starts gcse and evection date is 11th june .

 

Kensington phoned me back today and said they where till looking at my proposal I sent on the 20th may

and wanted to know why I hadent declared netflicks £5.99 on my budget sheet and sky payment

 

also they haven't sent a letter declining my proposal at the beginning of the month

 

I was also sent a letter from eversheds on the 9th saying I could have a personal adviser come round at a cost of £80 to advise

and access my situation

 

I agreed but told by Kensington a day later I couldn't and then evection notice was issued on the 15th of may

and a warrant for possession granted on the 21st of may

- they don't mess about

 

I asked for a payment arrangement in march for £800 a month and they set it at £1497.00

- have proof but they say this was an ahoc payment of £677.00 on the 14th of march followed by £800.00 28th of march

 

I got the letter dated 12th of march on the 17th so not even enough time to make a payment within a so called unaffordable agreement

 

they cancled the arrangement on the 28th as I couldn't afford what they where wanting ..

 

..sick of it -cant sleep and sat here looking to see if I can get a council house ARGGGGH

 

it works in chrome i will get filling it in now x thx everyone x olive can i kindly ask how much your kensington arrears where ? mine are £22933 :( thats why im worried

I have two accounts.

A mortgage and secured loan.

 

Mortgage is now 11,000 but I have consolidated once.

 

Loan is 25,00.

 

We however have finally decided enough is enough.

 

We have been fighting them since 2007 with various evictions and their blatant bullying tactics years ago.

 

We are however leaving with the knowledge that its our decision (even though we have an eviction date shortly after yours).

 

WE have decided to not fight as hard as we would usually and ask them for a different compromise.

 

We have found somewhere to live but its not available untill October

so we will be asking to put the house up for sale with assisted selling but

with a view to complete no earlier than October if someone wants to buy it.

I went into a room...like an office. Kenny's solicitors were there (they are usually just some local firm who would have got your papers the day brfore) The judge will ask you both for your stories. Just answer his questions, take the telling off. He will then give his verdict. I was expecting a big court room at first so was really surprised it was his office

I really do wonder about the amount of charges. If you are that far in arrears I would have expected much bigger charges, and of course the interest on them, not to mention that they should ALL be paid back. You really need a breakdown of them, and make sure that, at the very least, you mention them in your application against the eviction.

I have been reading through your thread,

 

i too have been in a similar position to yourself with a 5 day eviction order so

 

i have been where you are now and

 

i understand just how difficult this time is for you,

 

however sympathy is the last thing you need at the moment,just some good, sound advice.

 

Firstly i would forget about charges for now (you can come back to those later after the hearing)

 

The main difference with a mortgage in relation to all other credit you take out is that your buying your home,

the roof over your head,

its where you share your life with your family,

no other debt you take out is filled with emotional ties like the purchase of your home

 

,in some ways it transends being a debt and of course its so much more than just an advance of funds for which you have to pay back,

and its that emotion that you must get out of your head if you are going to keep your home.

 

Kensington are doing nothing wrong in gaining possession of your property and serving an eviction order on you for mortgage arrears.

 

your payment history since 2006 has been at best intermittent and at worst downright appalling.

 

You have put other debts before your mortgage repayments,

whats worse you defaulted on a payment arrangement

,to be honest its no wonder you have had their arrears dept breathing down your neck for years adding charges to your account (rightly or wrong)

 

your priority debt is your mortgage full stop.

 

You need to calm down,

start thinking straight and use this paragraph as your starting point.

 

The way you have to look at this is that you took out this mortgage,

you signed the paperwork so you're responsible for paying it back and thats what this hearing will be about affordability plain and simple.

 

A judge wont be interested in the fact that Kensington are a bunch of sharks,

or a string of sob stories for that matter about what led to you being in this position,

lots of waffle will get you nowhere.

 

The facts are this,

you are in arrears can you pay it back?

how much can you pay?

and most important can you stick to the agreement you propose.

 

It will be a 10 min hearing (if that) you're going to have to show a judge that you can afford this mortgage

and be able to clear the arrears and thats not going to be easy given the history to date.

 

When i was reading your thread i thought if it were me i would throw in the towel

but when the figures are added up you could be set for 40k shortfall so repossession is a last resort

in fact you cannot really afford to have the house repossessed

so you need to tread carefully and get your facts and figures in order,

you have two weeks before the eviction date so there is time yet.

 

Using Norgen you could get away with around 90 pound a month off the arrears for the remaining term plus your 640 contractual

,lets say 750 per month,

 

i wouldnt stretch it much more than that,

in your shoes i would be offering 800 a month total but no more,

its no good putting figures forward if you cannot keep to arrangement your putting forward.

 

I reckon you stand a good chance at that but if you fail to keep to it i think you could and would loose your home.

 

If you are successful and theres a good chance you will be,

 

then claim back all those charges,

 

fight one battle at a time.

 

I have to add a p.s to the above,if in future the 800 gets too much or you fall on hard times again you can always put the house up for sale on the open market,getting the eviction set aside widens your options for the future.
