    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

Can someone help with this

 

Today cash genie took out £170 from my partners bank account for an unpaid loan last year.

 

 

The money was actually mine and was two weeks benefit money that I had asked the dwp put into her account as I do not have one

and they will no longer pay by Giro Cheque.

 

Natwest bank won't act and the loan company will not reply to my E-mails.

 

Where legally do I stand ?.

 

Thank you

Tell your bank to do an immediate chargback for an unauthorised transaction. Ignore the front line phone reps. Speak to a senior manager.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

It was not my Bank and even the fraud Department at NatWest were unwilling to help sort it out.

 

 

I am not up to speed on these matters but I deem this transaction as unlawful

 

I did send CG this E-mail but never received a reply.

The transaction was unlawful and unauthorised. Thats why CG took the amount in multiple amounts.

 

You wont get a reply from CG as they took it unlawfully. As i said, your bank is wrong and you need to be firm with them. You wont get £100 per hour either from them as costs/compensation. The most you will get is the current LiP rate, and maybe a few admin costs.

 

Also, how did they get your partners account details for YOUR loan?

Hi

It was not my loan it was not in my name .

 

 

It was a loan my partner took out in 2012.

 

 

I was Unaware of Said loan...

 

 

. It also transpires they (C.G) have been trying to do just this for some time and prompted temporary freezes on my Partners account.

 

Nat West failed to contact my partner to let her know that this was going on ..

... Naughty or Complacent I don't care

 

 

I personally have called NatWest half an hour ago to get the transaction frozen until the morning but Khofi In India is unable to do that.

 

So how much can I charge them bearing in mind I am suffering sever Depression and under the GP for this...:sad:

You can only charge them any loss you have incurred as a result of their actions.

 

 

You cannot make up any figure and then add interest to it.

 

I suspect that they took the money in 3 tranches because they wanted to make sure that the amount they claimed would be paid.

 

 

I note that GM have tried to take money before so I daresay that GM would have asked for a fourth time for their money

 

 

.If they didn't it would leave one to suspect that GM knew how much money was in the account................................

 

In addition, it might be difficult to arrange a cancellation of those transactions because the money was owed by your GF and it was in her account.

I am phoning the DWP tomorrow UK Law states that's the minimum I can be paid to live off also I believe money within a Bank legally belongs to the Bank its in until withdrawn Is this correct?. C.G Have apparently been trying for many months to take money but my partner had stopped the card, She applied for another loan with her new details , Hence CG obtaining them leading to the events that I have outlined

I will update further after I make a few telephone calls tomorrow I am lets say a wee bit naffed off ATM....:-x

 

Thanks for all the advice given thus far I appreciate the help.

sorry that all wrong

 

 

you MUST phone the bank and get a chargeback done on the first transaction

 

 

then ask for the CPA to be cancelle on the others.

 

 

this is the LAW NatWest CANNOT refuse it.

 

 

it was NOT your loan matters not where the money went

they have NO RIGHT TO THIS + 12mts later.

 

 

get action fraud involved too.

 

 

PHONE NATWEST NOW AND DEMAND A CHARGEBACK AND CPA..

If Bonga Loans don't mention on their website that they are part of Cash Genie - report them to the OFT. You should easily be able to see that they are affiliated. These sub companies are usually set up by the main lender in order to trap people who owe them money into applying for a loan with the smaller company so they can then get new bank or card details to recoup the old loan. It's despicable, but then that's the filthy industry of payday loans :(

ask them the direct question..

 

 

were these payments taken under a cpa?

 

 

if they were , THEY MUST refund you

  • 2 weeks later...

Actually it was fairly easy apart from having to study their own T&C's and threaten to take it further. Once I found out the I had a case from you guys and elsewhere and what course of action to take. It took less than five minutes on the phone.Oh I got interest and expenses back too lol. :-D

Ok

 

Firstly I researched NatWests T&C's that state A CPA can be stopped.

 

Which they failed to inform my partner.

 

I then told them to issue a chargeback as the transaction was unlawful for several reasons as outlined above.

 

I mentioned my displeasure that even though CG had attempted this many times activating Natwests own anti fraud software

nobody had the decency to inform my partner what was going on.

 

And I also let them know I would have gone to the ombudsman and beyond over the issue.
