    • How was the "receiver" appointed and what is their role? Appointed by the lender under the terms of their security on the loan (sometimes referred to as "LPA Receiver")? Or are they acting for you in insolveny? What's the current role of the agent?
    • Wait for more replies, but that letter to me can be interpreted as a letter before action. Ignoring it can have consequences. The court to impose sanctions for failure in responding to a letter of claim.
    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • 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, I wonder if someone could help me please?

I bought a car 6 weeks ago now a Peugeot 307, 1.6 diesel, 55 plate. After having it for about a week I noticed a knocking noise that sounded like it was coming from the steering or around that area when I turned the car on and off and every so often when I went over bumps (and the car vibrated slightly) I then started to hear like a metally grinding noise... I later found out that the rattling was the rear engine mount that the rubber has wore away on and the metally noise is the wheel bearing that is going.

 

Also the electric windows are sticking when trying to put them back up. I didn't take the car back to the garage I bought it from as I wanted to see what was wrong with it before I did. When I found out what was wrong with it, I took it back to the garage I bought it from and the guy just basically fobbed me off and said it's not dangerous, it was MOT'd and serviced before you took it away, I'll fix it but you'll have to pay.

 

He took the car for a drive, with me and my boyfriend in the back and was doing about 70 mph around an industrial estate, going over any pot holes he could find and slamming on every so often (quite scary) and said don't worry I've done this every day for the past 25 years to test drive cars. That didn't exactly make me feel better! At one point he was driving like that and on the phone.

 

That was on Saturday, this morning (Tuesday) I got into my car, was half way to work and the engine light came on saying 'anti pollution fault' this is the last thing I need!!! I have looked at the the Sale of Goods Act and it stated that if anything goes wrong with a car if you have bought it within the last 6 months, the person you bought it from is responsible to fix this.

 

Someone help me please!!! I'm so fed up with things going wrong on this car already!!!

Thanks, Kirsty

Welcome to the forum Kirsty.

 

During the first six months of ownership, any faults that become apparent are assumed to have been there at the time of purchase and it is up to the seller to prove otherwise.

After six months, it would be up to the buyer to prove these faults were there at the time of purchase.

 

Don't talk on the phone to the dealer unless you can record the call. If you have face to face meetings, then have your mobile in a nice position where you can record the conversation. You don't have to tell them they are being recorded.

 

Unless the faults were pointed out to you at the time of purchase, then it is the responsibility of the seller to fix.

 

Drop him a letter saying you have taken advice and under the SOGA the car is not of satisfactory quality and reminding him of his responsibility.

 

Any letters sent through the post should be by recorded delivery.

 

Email is a legally recognised way to correspond, so it might be quicker to do things that way if you can.

 

Lets see what he comes back with.

Yeah that it what they said when I rang Trading Standards, I had looked at the Sale of Goods Act previous to going back to the garage but now it has been stated to me that even though I have a warranty for the engine and gear box, it's just an extra and I still have rights! Which has made me feel a little better! Now all I have to do is write a letter to them and wait for a reply. I do love a good complaint! Haha! Thank you for your help :)

Sorry Conniff, I didn't see your reply for some reason! I'm rubbish with these forums!That is exactly what Trading Standards have said to me so I am going to write a letter this afternoon and send that to him to see if he gets back to me. I was told that if any recording are made I have to make the person I have recorded aware? I am trying to get the advert from Auto Trader to look at as I'm sure it said on it that there is a full service history, however there isn't! Thank you very much for your help, fingers crossed it goes my way and I get the car repaird or my money back!

You do not have to make them aware of being recorded unless you intend to submit that recording as part of your defence in a court. Any recordings are for your own personal use but a note can be added to your defence that a recording does exist. It would then be up to the court to ask for a transcript if they think it would help.

 

Please try and get hard copies of anything that is being said.

 

If he refuses to put it right at his cost, then you should take it to a Peugeot dealer for checking and a quote to bring the car up to a

state of satisfactory quality. You can then send that to the seller and tell him that if he should refuse to repair the car, you will take

it to the main dealer and demand a refund of the cost from him.

 

Edited to add:

 

A warranty of any kind is always an 'extra' to your consumer rights. Your rights can never be taken away from you, in fact you can't even sign them away if you wanted to.
