    • 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

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂

    • 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 have 2 items with brighthouse that cost 18.40 a week

(including osc which after reading this forum i understand i didnt have to take out despite them insisting on it)

 

the account should have been paid on saturday just gone

but due to unforeseen circumstances i am unable to make a payment until next tuesday

which will make it 2 weeks in arrears the following saturday. I

 

have had a shop manager on my doorstep today telling me that if i dont pay by 12pm tomorrow (thursday 17th jan)

that they will be taking my goods.

 

in my contract it states in the repossession part

if you do not keep your side of the agreement but you have paid at least one third

of the total amount payable under this agreement,

that is 438.88 we may not take back the goods against your wished unless we get a court order

 

i have paid this amount and more.

 

when i said this to the manager he told me that because it was worded "may not"

instead of "can not" then he could take the goods with out a court order.

 

am i right in thinking this is a load of tosh?

 

i have told him the date i can pay it

but hes being very arrogant about it

and id like to know my rights in this as it all seems a bit wrong.

 

Ive not received any letters or a default notice in writing only him phoning me

but i missed his call and him on my doorstep.

 

when he undoubtedly turns up to try and collect the goods

 

do i have to let him into the property?

 

thanks in advance

nope you don't!!

 

an even IF you've NOT paid 1/3rd you STILL don't have to let them in!!

 

they are NOT BAILIFFS

 

and have

 

NO SUCH BAILIFF POWERS.

 

I suggest you get a reclaim running for the OSC.

 

its also worthy of note

 

that their are NO RULES WHATSOEVER

concerning HP agreements that you need anti theft or Damage insurance

so DLC is questionable too!!

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

At BrightHouse we don’t employ bailiffs. We always try to contact customers in writing and by telephone to discuss any resolutions. However, if we are unable to make contact with a customer, one of our employees may arrange a home visit to discuss the customer’s circumstances and agree on a course of action to help get things back on track.

 

If your BrightHouse account is in arrears, we’ll listen to your individual circumstances and then agree on the best course of action that helps you get back on track.

To contact our customer relations team either phone us on 0800 526 069 or email [email protected].

No one needs to ever discuss things on there doorstep

Rather than fudge over the issue

Bright house staff need training,

there lies are wrong

intimidation on the doorstep is also wrong

Hi

 

Ann Marie I have tried discussing it with the manager but he is adamant he will be removing the goods and is unwilling to wait til Tuesday for a payment. According to him they only allow you to be 5 days late before recovering goods. To be honest I'd prefer not to deal with him at all as his rudeness and arrogance is astounding.

 

To the poster who offered help with claiming back osc etc(sorry I can't see your name as I'm on my phone) I have checked my contract and on one item I'm paying £3.55 a week osc and £1.95 dlc on the other item it is £1.50 osc as that's on a statement but I can't find the contract for that item to see how much dlc is.

 

As I understand now osc is optional but what about dlc? I was told I had to have both as I don't have home insurance. I have been paying both since June 2012 if I didn't need any of these can I claim back up to that date?

How long have you been with Brighthouse?

Their managers have no right to just turn up on your doorstep and you can withdraw their right of attendance and get them removed with police force If they refuse.

 

Also as well it might be worth Sending a SAR to Brighthouse head office

 

We could do with some help from you.

Ann Marie. This seems to be basic business practice for brighthouse. How about retraining management or replacing them.

 

You can say or justify it how you like. You know as well as we do that this is normal behaviour for your store staff, and dare I say it, your senior management turn a blind eye to it because it makes money.

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..

You have been speaking with the manager and he is spinning you lie after lie they can turn up but you can tell them to leave

They will not be taking goods back there is no right of entry for them

They have no right to be on your property

Sadly it seams this is normal behaviour from bright house

 

How anyone could have any faith in a "manager" to move things forwards when they have been treated this way

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

Bit of an update. Manager just phoned. I explained that I'm willing to pay but can't until Tuesday. He's put a note on my account stating that I will go in Tuesday and to leave me until then. There was a huge difference in his attitude from yesterday.

 

Now just need to sort out osc etc

What does he mean "leave you until then"? He'd better leave you alone full stop. Get that doorstep collectors letter off to BH asap.

Yeah... It's not right that the manager is being like this to you... But this is what happens with these stores.

 

You can claim both DLC and OSC back... Not just the OSC you know
