    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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 am being asked by credit card companies to do income and exp forms every 6-12 months after a brain injury nearly 3 years ago.

 

Do I have to keep completing these if there are no changes to my circumstances,

 

I entered a payplan by myself as they said it would be best at the time!

 

Thx

No, they do not have a right to this information.

 

That is the short answer. if they were to take you to court and you are paying what you can afford, they will pay out hundreds of pounds in legal fees only to get the same amount of money per month from you, and potentially less.

To be honest no, I think 3 debts have been sold on now! I did request one over the phone from the DCA's solicitors who have now gone legal but never received it request date 274/01/14.

 

I will follow this up and send them the letter and am awaiting a court date from the county courts for this debt :(

 

 

Cheers

Steve as a fellow TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) survivor myself, I thoroughly recommend NOT talking to any of them about this over the phone.

I can also highly recommend the Truecall box of tricks, peace of mind at a cost but it is invaluable, my phone doesn't ring unless it is from someone I know, and even then all of my calls can be recorded for those 'memory lapses'..

 

What debts are these? Credit cards, loans, catalogues??

 

How old are they when did you take them out?

How much roughly?

 

You will be classed as vulnerable, by nature of your injury, so a read of MALG might be advantageous.

 

If you do get court papers through for any of these come straight back and you will get advice.

Hi Bazooka,

 

Thanks for the info I will spend some time reading those pages you linked to as I need to get things sorted :).

 

What debts are these? Credit cards, loans, catalogues??

One is a northern rock loan that has been sold on recently the others are 6 CC's

 

How old are they when did you take them out?

The NR was from 2004 the rest were taken out between 2000-2009 I was balance transfering and my balance in 2008 was roughly 4k. then my x business partner roped me into doing spread betting with him on the stock market and he lost a lot and me all on my CC's.

 

I kept up every payment until my injury in august 2010 and Payplan were useless they just emailed me and said your best doing it yourself and get an agreement with creditors!

 

How much roughly?

30k

 

If you do get court papers through for any of these come straight back and you will get advice.

 

I rang the Drydens the solicitors again yesterday as they sent a letter to say I had not paid the courts ruling of £99 a month and the bailiffs were being threatened. This was after I had emailed them a copy of the court transfer contesting their claim and also rang the Sheffield CC office last week and Drydens had responded to the request to set aside judgement.

 

I asked what their defence was as I was making the agreed monthly payment originally setup with MBNA and the guy just skirted over it and said let us know when the court has responded etc.

 

My subject title is actually wrong it is the barclaycard and natwest platinum that are pushing me to fill in yet another income and expenditure form, I rang them and said I did not have to supply this info every 6 months(as I had read it online) they said I had too!

 

Will post back when the court responded this week apparently!

 

Thx again.

Hi dx100uk,

 

I have read that even if the DCA cannot provide you with the original CCA then this still means you owe the debt but to the original creditor!?

 

What benefit is it besides being able to negate their extra charges and addons ?

 

Cheers

Yep, send the people chasing you the request.

 

For the record, any agreements taken out after April '07 can be enforced by leave of the court - even if there is no paperwork. So you should consider your credit debts within two categories. Any prior to that debt are far more likely to be challengable. But it's worth CCAing any debt that is from a CCA regulated credit agreement.

Hi,

 

I have received the court papers and there is nothing but 2 paragraphs stating when the hearing to set aside judgement will take place and another saying 'cases are listed in order, delay is unavoidable etc'.

 

I am not sure what to take along, I have sent the CCA and £1 fee to Arrow on 28/03 not yet signed for as they are in Guernsey so prob a Monday delivery.

 

Can the courts ask me for income and expenditure there and then, if so I will have to formulate something in advance?

 

I have read a couple of threads on other forums were Arrow Global do not turn up for the hearing so am hoping that will be the case :p

Yes only a court can request an I&E form, so taking one with you would be a plus.

 

But if this is for a set aside then one won't be required.

Hi Guys,

 

Went to court today and

 

Arrow Globals solicitor was there and we had a meeting prior to the hearing and

 

they had a Tomlin order ready to sign that said they accepted the £8.50 a month I was paying and agreed for the order be set aside and costs.

 

I mentioned that the CCA had not been received and that Arrow still had a few more days to produce it!

 

She mentioned that because in my defence I had agreed that the original debt belonged to MBNA

and I had been paying it the judge would not accept that I didn't owe the money regardless of the CCA not being received yet!

 

I went into the hearing and the judge mentioned that it was clear I owed the money

and that the offer was reasonable as if I lived until 104 yrs old, that's how long it would take to pay it off at that rate.

 

I signed it and I can post an image of the letter,

 

their solicitor also mentioned I could contest it at a later date

but it might not work and I am not sure if I took out the CC before 2007.

 

if Arrow don't produce the original CCA

 

can I still contest this debt?

 

Thx

If they dont produce it then they cant enforce it.

 

They know this which is why they did the tactic of getting you to settle before it went to a judge, and because you weren't aware of your rights, you fell for their trick and they got a CCJ anyway.

Well they received the letter on the 31/03 recorded delivery but their reply letter was dated the 3rd of april,

 

I pointed this out but there is a paper trail now saying it originated from MBNA after I traced it back.

 

Is it still the case that I can contest it or is it a waste of finance trying to convince a judge

or is it the law no CCA then not enforceable.

 

Thanks

The CCA thing all depends on when the agreement was taken out and was it a loan/bank account/overdraft etc.
