    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.
    • LOL. after sending Perch capital a CCA request with a stapled £1 PO attached (x2) Their lapdog Legal team TM Legal have sent me two letters today saying "due to a recent payment on the account, your account is open to legal/enforcement action" so i guess they have tried to apply that payment to the account to run the statue bar along. dirty tactics lol.
    • I have initiated the breathing space so ill wait. from re reading everything this what i understand BS gives me 60 days break from the creditors during these 60 days they may contact me and will most likely default I need to wait until after a default notice to see whether the OC will keep the debt or sell it off If kept by the OC then i should attempt a plan or pay some token payment? If sold to DCA then don't pay and after 6 years it will leave my credit report once the DN is registered with a date. DCA may start a CCJ but unlikely, if they do come back here. last question, do you know roughly how long this will all take? in terms of defaults/default notice, potential CCJ? Would you say I have 12 months plus from when the BS ends?

    • 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 there,

I am looking for some advice on a car sale any help would be much appreciated.The story:

So I contact the independant dealer that I purchased my car from 2 yrs ago to inform him I would like to resell ,he initally says why dont I sell it on your behalf on my forcourt at a fee of £1500 to which I agree

 

so the car goes on sale for 31k ,2 weeks later he calls and says the car needs £1600 of work to it ok I say book it in.1 week later he says I will buy it from me at £26600 minus £1600 =25k for the work that need doing to which he says I will pay you next week I agree .

 

So I found out the car has been sold prior to the deal we had and someone else is driving it around before he has paid me.My issue is that he had car up for sale on my behalf to which he sold at cira 31k then told me he would buy at the 25k making a profit at no risk of 6k and I beleive no work was carried out on vehicle(£1600).Please note through out this I have not been paid anything.

 

 

He doesnt know I know the car has been sold so I text him to say actually I am going to keep the car obviously I will pay you a fair fee for advertising etc.

 

 

To which I am awaiting a response.Any advice or opinions would be a massive help

Do you know that he sold it to the person for £31k or are you saying that it was advertised for £31k so that is what he got?

 

Also, when he offered you £26,600 did you accept this of your own free will or was you forced to accept his offer?

I now know and have proof that he sold it for just under 30K as I have been in contact with the new owner via email. I did except the offer of 25k of mine own free will under the assumtion of

A; It needed £1500 welding work ,which I would need to see receipt from a independant company that specialises in that type of work.

B; That there was not a buyer commencing purchase during the time it was for sale on my behalf.

 

If I had been paid for instance for the vehicle on a Monday and then he sold it on a Tuesday that would be my lose and hes gain,but he has used the value in my vehicle to generate funds to pay me surely thats not buying the vehicle from me.

(Sorry about my grammer)

Sorry to labour on a point, you say that you had made assumptions as to what evidence you were gonig to be provided that the work was completed and what was gonig to happen to the car. what were these assumptions based on?

 

As it stands you have accepted an offer (all be it still unpaid) and the new owner has done what he wanted with the car. Yes there is quite possibly some dubious trading gonig on by the dealer but i do not belive the police will leap in to cease the car, it will quite potentially have to go through the courts.

Thanks for your response I appreciate other views .Regarding evidence of works if lets say I was to take my vehicle to an Independant specalised welder (as the company supposedly doing work ) and ask them to weld up parts but aksed to see the work before payment would they be able to deny the viewing and demand payment (unless physically possible to see work ) if the trader had carried out work then an invoice of proof plus a profit margin in surely exceptable.

And regarding the sale of vehicle if I was walk into mercedes and tell them I love the car in window agree reduced price and tell them I will pay in a weeks time with no contract or deposit would they not sell the vehicle to another customer if he was to pay more the next day?

 

My main issue is that the vehicle was being sold on my behalf - low risk =lower profit like any business if however he sells my vehicle on low risk terms then tries to purchase without me finding out the car has sold then he is using low risk terms =high risk profit. he is uncontactable at the moment which is extremly bazaar!!!

You agreed a contract and the dealer broke it. He owes you the difference. As long as you can get a signed sworn letter (costs about a tenner to get it witnessed by solicitor if you write it up yourself) and copy of the V5 you are home and dry.

Thanks for the advice everyone I really appreciate your help. Since my last post I have received a payment from the dealer at £29k minus £1800 (he's fee) = £27,200 (payment) which would leave a balance a shortfall of £800 as I can prove he sold it for £29.800,which I will have to pursue soon,in short he hasn't admitted fault but a payment over the initially agreed 25k is admitting fault in itself. But at least I have been paid ,so thanks everyone for your input it's great that people take the time to help or input there opinions .
