      my Leasehold/Freehold property and it's issues.

      By HP Mum · Posted

      I spoke to a pro-bono entity this afternoon.  They advise I must initiate a claim in the court v the receiver if I want to then file an application for an order for sale.  I must have a claim/ proceedings to be able to force a sale. The judge in the current proceedings  has told me that I cannot force the lender to sell and the lender cannot interfere either.   If the receiver isn't acting correctly and isn't selling - this means I must make a claim against the receiver I could initiate a claim. Or much quicker  - the other entity - with a charge already - could use that to make an application for an order for sale.

      EPC ANPR PCN - Overstay - Solent Retail Havant Car Park, PO9 1ND

      By GB_Joe · Posted

      Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, so I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.

      PCM PCN - Royale Leisure Park - W3 (London)

      By lookinforinfo · Posted

      As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 All,

 

This website is great!! :p

 

Second 14 day letter sent to HSBC by registered delivery (1st 14 day letter ignored) and today I have received an offer from them.

 

I am claiming just over £2,000 in charges from them and they have offered just over £,1800.

 

Now, from reading forums and watch the TV, I understand that this is a good first offer but would like to know your thoughts. I see that they have ended up paying in full for a lot of claims.

 

Baring in mind how near we are to Xmas, what would you do? Accept their offer or write back to them and demand the full amount and if full amount is not forthcoming they will receive a summons incl extra interest and charges?

 

Off to sleep on it and see what the family think, but would love to hear from you guys in the meantime too.

 

Thanks,

 

GTG. xx

I see exactly what you mean about it being close to Christmas but really, you've got ages yet in terms of weeks... I would hold out for the full amount if I were you! - It is unexpected money... u didn't know you'd be getting it.. so hold on in there!

What reason did they give for offering only 90%? Is there a chance you have made an error in your calculations that they have picked up on?

 

If not then I would write back, saying that you accept the offer as part-settlement of your claim, but you will continue to pursue them for the outstanding £200. You will, of course, drop all action should the full amount be available to you, as cleared funds, before your second deadline.

 

Good luck.

Up to you really. They will pay all of it in the end, so you can choose between getting most of it now or getting all of it + interest if you wait a couple of weeks. As they are legally entitled to charge their actual costs, some may say that 90% is a fair and just offer and a good representation of the money taken unlawfully, others will say, with just as much validity, that they refuse to divulge their actual costs so they should pay the lot. Going on evidance from all the settled claims, they always pay the lot if you hold out for it, usually 2 or 3 weeks after you issue the claim.

Hi there Gordon. My offer was similar to yours. I accepted as part payment. But they had left it too late. I'll give you a quick summary off my track so far...

4th sept-prelim letter sent for £1796

18th lba sent. prelim ignored

28th offer of £1620

29th accepted as part payment

4th applied to MCOL

5th letter recived off MCOL saying HSBC got 14 days from 10th to respond

12th letter fro court saying HSBC going to defend, signed by DG solicitors

28th Letter from DG solicitors asking forsumary of charges in case hsbc decide to settle.

hope ths givs you an idea of time scale. every letter i have i what CAG members have said i would have.lol

Claim for the lot, but it is incumbent on you to accept an interim payment if offered. However, you are not obliged to accept anything if there are attached conditions.

 

Simply say that you will accept as part payment, but that you will pursue them for the balance.

The thing is, their 14 days are up to pay in full.

 

I have decided just to go ahead and issue a summons on them now - remember I said if they'd not paid in full within 14 days I would take action WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.

 

Thanks so much for the replies etc. I'll let you know how things go.

Hi Gordon,

 

I'm not in a position to advise, but I'm going for 100% of what I'm owed. They took my hard earned money and now I'm on a mission to get it back - I got into great financial hardship due to some of the costs I incurred from these guys. I'm still only in my mid 20's so hopefully I can repair the damage aleady done!

 

Go for it & good luck,.

Hi Gordon,

 

I'd wait the extra couple of weeks so you can have all your money back and your 8% interest.

I had an offer of approx 90% of what i was requesting. They didn't reply to either of my letters until after I'd moneyclaimed them. I had also given them an extra week to reply. They stated they intended to defend, and last week i got a letter offering the full amount. Thats just two weeks after their first offer.

 

Get them moneyclaimed!

Ok guys, an update!

 

I have been reading a few of the other threads and now find myself in a similar position:

 

I have heard from DG Sols and also have the confirmation through that they intend to defend the claim I submitted via MCOL.

 

I got a letter from them last week asking for full details of the claim (like HSBC haven't already provided them with this!) so sent all the info off again asking them for the full charges plus interest plus court fee.

 

Today I have received the allocation form and full info from my local court - but have to pay the additional £100 fee when I fill it in. I have a short while to get this info completed.

 

However, it would appear that reading through the threads, I will get another letter from DG Sols either offering partial (again) or full settlement. Obviously I am still going for the full amount.

 

My question is - it would appear that this will be resolved before my time is up to fill in the allocation form. Has anyone paid the £100 and filled it in then settled? Do you get the £100 back or should I hand on for a while longer and wait to hear from DG Sols before my deadline is up?

 

Thanks guys,

 

GTG. xx

Hi GTG,

 

Hang on untill the last day set to file your AQ. I'd be very surprised if they had'nt settled by then, in fact its likely you'll hear from them any day now. If however you have'nt had a settlement by the AQ date, you'll have to submit it and pay the £100. Yes, the AQ fee is a recoverable cost, you will get it back if/when they settle.

i agree - if you refused that offer last week - my money is on a full offer this week. this is what i did in exactly the same circumstances: wait until friday - if you haven't had another (100%) offer - call dg - asking for whoever sent the offer and say to them - i thought i would have heard from you by now - i'm getting a little anxious as the a.q. is due shortly and i'm sure you don't want to incur even more charges... and they said then and there that the offer was in the post - whether is really was or that prompted the mailing of it - regardless - it worked. so, wait til friday - and call (a.m. so you can be at it through the day if needs be).

nearly there.......

keep us posted - really, i can smell it.........money in your hand by next week!

Finally, last week it was won!!

 

Got the full amount through - just under £2,800.

 

Had to chase them loads for the money though, after I sent my acceptance back.

 

Have written to the court to tell them it's settled out of court now too.

 

Thanks LOADS to everyone on this site, and the site itself!

 

Perhaps a Moderator could move this thread to WON, now?? Thanks.
