    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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.

Just read entire thread right through ,it sounds Marvin that you have a good case. Surely if they try to re-schedule court date for a 3rd time you can contest this and try and get some resolution on all this as I am sure your nerves are shattered with this and problems at home with the Mrs as well. Big pat on back for all who have been helping Marvin, fingers crossed you finally get it sorted. this company sound terrible MORAL OF STORY NEVER TAKE OUT A SECURED LOAN ON YOUR HOUSE ,there is usually another option

well had the first hearing yesterday, didnt last long...blemain are now wanting it to go to trial. one good thing was that in an e mail i received cantor said they were going to get my defence struck out because it wasnt signed with a statement of truth, the one i sent to the court had been signed and the judge told them it was fine and ignored /deleted part of their direction....so now i have to start getting a lot of things together and wait for blemain to come up with proof of all their costs

Just read your thread from the start, i am in the same position as you regarding my loan being paid but then found out i had charges, telephone calls, block insurance payments, all with interest added. I am probably 3 months behind you as first court date has just been sisted. Good luck and I will follow your progress.

sorry i havnt been online for a while, basically i have had a letter from the courts which have set out dates for certain things to happen, i.e the claiment had to file a reply by 25th April, both parties have to provide standard disclosure by May 23rd and an exchange of witness statements by 18th july.

Blemain have filed their reply which basically says they are denying everything they say they have sent a breakdown of all charges / fees, yet they still havnt given proof of any costs etc.it is denied that any of the charges amount to penelty charges and it goes on and on it also says we had been in breach of the contract for 'substantial amounts of time' the longest we were ever behind was 3 months, we then made a one off payment to more than cover the missed payments.. basically i need to re affirm why i think the charges are unfair and for what reasons before 23rd May...or is there more i need to do.

thankyou

sent off a reply to what cantor law sent me last week, to which i had a reply stating that i couldnt re submit a defence without seeking authorisation from the court, they also say that a lot of things that i have been pointed too do not apply to second charge mortgages. ie mcob rules and also that the case that welshperson referred me to was totally incorrect, in fact they say they obtained a money judgment, possession order and substantial costs. so i am now at a loss at the moment. they say i am supposed to file a standard disclosure, any idea what i am supposed to put in a 'standard disclosure' ?

they are hitting me with all this legal jargon and i dont mind admitting i am confused and not sure which way to go next. on top of that they made me an offer for me to pay back a reduced amount, not very much reduced though, to save on costs that they estimate to be in the region of £25,000 if they were to succeed in the trial.

thanks

 

Marvin

There is no point in having a good solicitor as the lender will only up their costs accordingly - experience has shown that they would go for a barrister to help their flimsy case.

 

The more flimsy their case, the more legal jargon they throw at you.

 

I've flagged the post for some more experienced people to give you help.

anybody give me some pointers on the 'standard disclosure' and what i should put in it or leave out ?

 

You need to include any or every thing that you will want to rely on in court. If you havent disclosed it, then you will not be able to use it.
