    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.

    • 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 all :-)

 

I have a lot of practical experience of the Charging Order process from the creditor's perspective, and I'd be more than happy to provide advice and guidance to anyone who is faced with the prospect of having an application issued against their property. If you need any info on the process itself, the documentation, Court hearings etc. then please ask away and I'll do my best to help :wink:

I think a lot of people would be very interested in knowing how an unsecured debt can so easily become a secured debt.

 

I think you have already started to provide some information, perhaps you could start the ball rolling and people can jump in with questions :)

Sorry for butting in and hope the OP doesn't mind but yes they can, that is why they are served with a copy of the application and notice from the Land Registry.

 

Grounds for opposing are things like it would prejudice them etc.

 

However, I have dealt with literally hundreds of CO applications and have never seen a joint owner succeed.

Ganymede put it in a nutshell about the ability to object. Anyone who has a registered interest in the property can object if they want to, and they ALL have to be served with copies of the application and Land Registry documents in order to make them aware of the application, therefore they all have the opportunity to object. I have processed numerous CO applications, for sole and joint owners, with a roughly equal success rate (success from the creditor's point of view).

Maximus - it's back to the Court for another hearing. No Order for Sale would be automatically granted by the Court. You would have the opportunity to lodge arguments against the application and they would have to be considered by the Judge. Of course there is also the question of proportionality - i.e. would the Court see fit to grant an Order for Sale when the debt is relatively small? There are a lot of circumstances to take into account in each individual case.

 

However, I would stress that the first step is to try to avoid a CO being made in the first place - and the way to go about this would depend on whether or not the process has already begun...

If you have debts and you have assets - be very careful. In my experience of carrying out litigation on behalf of creditors, if the debtor defaults on a payment plan, and they have an interest in property/land, the creditor is highly likely to take further steps to secure the debt - even if this means they cannot get their hands on the money for quite some time!

 

Once a creditor has obtained a County Court Judgment they have a number of enforcement options available to them - and if they know that you have an interest in property they are highly likely to go for that as security.

I would appear that MM has only just received a letter from the claimant to say that they are going to apply for a Charging order now that they have won their original claim.

 

So what should he now expect to happen.

 

From what I read above posted by you and Gannymede, all parties involved, presumably that means the 1st mortgage provider, and both MM and his wife should receive notice that a CO is being applied for, yes ? What happens next :)

Yes, the debtor must be served with a copy of the application and other relevant documentation to advise them that the application has been lodged with the Court. The creditor must also provide copies of the same documentation to ALL other interested parties (mortgage co, other secured lenders, anyone else with a financial interest in the property). Once this has been done the creditor has to send documents to the Court called Certificates of Service, as evidence that they sent copies of the application to all interested parties. If they fail to provide you with copies of the application documents then the Judge can strike out their application (i.e. bin it!) as they did not follow correct procedure.

 

It is always worth contacting the creditor and/or their solicitors first, though, just to see if there is any way of holding off the application and working out a settlement of some sort.

There are TWO parts to the CO process: Interim and Final. Interim Charging Orders are granted automatically by the Court. All the relevant parties are notified of this and sent a copy of the Interim Charging Order, which the creditor will then register at the Land REgistry. However, this is only the first stage. Once an ICO has been granted, the Court will set a date for a hearing to determine whether a Final Charging Order should be granted. You will have at least 21 days notice of the hearing, which is enough time to prepare your case against the granting of an Order. This is where you will need advice tailored to your particular circumstances. You must attend the hearing. The Judge will consider your arguments and make a decision. It may be that a further Order is granted but on certain conditions rather than a simple yes or no.

I think you need to look at it from another angle Maximus...its an unsecured loan secured against your property...you are not making any payments against that debt as such via the CO... that is through your judgment.

Forgive me for saying but that still doesn`t explain the point that I think citizenB is making about an unsecured loan with its higher Apr suddenly becoming a secured loan?

 

 

 

You need to try and get your head around the concept that it is not the original loan that is being secured against the property, but the CCJ which replaces the loan agreement.

I understand what your saying ( I think) but I have not defaulted on the original ccj. I can see why they would go for a CO if I was not paying the CCJ but the only reason I can see for them going down this route at the moment is so that they can use it as a stick to beat me with.

 

They were not happy about the amount I had to pay back each month, will they be able to use this stick to try and get more I wonder?

and, since then, if there is an Instalment Order in place (along side a CO) there can be no enforcement (ie sale) re the charging order if there is no default in the instalment order; 'The charge may not be enforced unless there has been default in payment of an instalment under the instalments order.' s93 Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act amending the CO act.

Hi All

 

Been following the above threads with interest.

 

Just going to tell you of my experience regarding a CCJ unsecured debt being turned into a C/O.

 

Had a CCJ granted in 2000 for 10k court ordered payment £5 per month

 

CCJ then sold twice last time sold 2002 and was to carry on making my payments to same solicitor which I did.

 

2011 DCA decided I was not paying enough and asked first to be substituted as the new claimant (even though they obtained the CCJ back in 2002) as the CCJ was STILL in the original creditors name, and even though I argued the toss over the length of time it had taken the DCA to do this the Judge granted the substitution no problem at all.

 

The DCA then took no time at all in applying for a variation order and a C/O and after several hearings, and carefully constructing my defence and what was deemed to be the law relating from assignments to when a C/O can be granted and about the APR on the original unsecured loan being 50% and who it their right mind would get a secured loan with a APR that high and is that fair to then turn it into a secured loan, but unfortunately ALL my defence fell on deaf ears.

 

The only thing I did get in my favour was the fact that the variation order was not granted, but the C/O was even though my payments were bang up to date (never missed one payment) AND my C/O was granted the year before the new law regarding C/O came out in Oct 2012 and yes I did bring up that I had never missed a payment an case laws (Mercantile Credit vs Ellis) again all fell on deaf ear AND FOR DEFENDING IT I GOT HAMMERED FOR COSTS AS WELL

 

So there you have it folks that is my experience and believe you me experience counts for allot when you’re in court with these people.

 

What I did learn from all of this was their seems to be NO consistency whatsoever between Judges and what one Judges perception or interpretation of the law seems to be is completely different to another’s as in the case of greenk04 and his Nationwide thread Where the Judge denied the claimant a C/O and even doubt if they will get it a second time even though the law has now changed as going off what then Judge said when he denied them a C/O in the first place who says that he or another judge will now change there mind just because the law has now changed, that said who knows as dx once quoted to me JUDGES LOTTERY!

 

I thinks more Clarity is what we need, I know CitizenB brought up the point about the law changing in Oct 2012 regarding C/O being applied for automatically and thinking that this will only apply if a claim has been issued after that date in relation to greenk04Nationwide thread and in the thread relating to Maximusmeridius thread Charging order he further stated that:

Before 1 October 2012

 

If the creditor applied for or was given a CCJ before 1 October 2012, they can only apply for a charging order if the CCJ says you must pay:

the whole debt immediately or by a certain date, called a forthwith judgment, and you haven't done this; or

 

by instalments and you’ve missed one or more payments.

 

If the creditor applies for a charging order when you haven't broken the terms of the CCJ, go to the hearing where the charging order is made and show evidence to the judge that you have kept to the terms of the original court order.

 

Well my question being is there anyone out there that has challenged this issue yet in court and won or is just another case of a judge’s lottery and down to what their interpretation or perception of the law is.
