    • 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.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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 hope somebody can help as I'm stressed :(

 

I was given full legal aid for a trial in Aug 2010...

 

In July 2012 a letter arrived at our home addressed to me from a company called rossendales ltd asking for £8000 towards my legal fees

they were recovering a dept i had never been notified about..

 

My wife took advice from CAB to write back stating i did not live at this address we heard nothing back...

 

I was released from prison in august 2013 so near 23 months ago and 35 months since my wife wrote back to rossendales..

 

Then out of the blue yesterday i get a letter stating i need to pay ...

 

Help please as i don't have 8k

i am working on min hours and min wages

my wife is unable to work due to ill health

we just can't afford anything..

we have sold anything of value just to live..

 

I called them tonight only to be told that if i don't pay within 7 days

then they would goto court and i would have to pay the fees and intrest @ 6%...

 

The letter states " Notice of intention to enforce" ...

 

Thanks

Bailiffs don't threaten court

They come after court

 

I suspect this is their debt collection wing

That has no legal powers whatsoever

 

What is the number given

 

Look at the bottom of the letter

It should state who they are

 

I bet the letter does not say bailiffs anywhere

 

Just a scary threat o gram

After speaking last night she said its not Rossendales taking me to court but the Legal Aid Agency

and they will charge the dept against me house and include £400 fees

and 6% interest until the dept is clear then i will have to pay to remove the charge...

 

I fully Agree i took legal aid and lost the case and that i have over £30k in equity

but its just the time scale of thing and the way they do the collection !!!

 

I asked about payment plan and all she kept saying was can you make any sort of payment now even just a few hundred pounds ?

 

I just don't know what to do as i don't have £8000 and can't get it....

 

Thanks again

In this instance, Rossendales are simply acting on behalf of the Legal Aid Agency as a Debt collection agency and not in their capacity as Bailiffs.

 

Until the LA have issued a claim against you - and they have won their claim and you have then failed to pay the judgment debt, Bailiffs cannot be instructed.

 

I am assuming this "debt" is in your name only ? If the LA were to obtain a Judgment and then apply for a Charging order, it can only be a restriction on your share of the equity (should the property be sold).

 

I would suggest you write to the Legal Aid Agency - provide a copy of your Income & Expenditure sheet so they can see that you are unable to make the payments they are demanding.

 

It might be worth speaking with National Debtline and asking them to help you produce a Financial statement - the LA might be more inclined to accept that you are unable to just cough up the amount they are demanding at this time.

 

I suggest that you stay off the telephone and keep everything in writing (unless you are able to record your calls) - that way you have a paper trail of how you have attempted to come to an arrangement with them.

I would also advise that when writing your letter, you point out to the LA that you have not previously had any communication regarding this matter and it is quite unprofessional to simply pass it over to a Debt Collection Agency that implies it is working in a Bailiff capacity when it is not.

If for legal aid for a Crown Court case where you were found guilty, and you have over £30k assets :

then Legal Aid will be able to enforce recovery of their costs.

 

How come you "don't have £8k" when you have / had assets over 30k ..

.. Have the assets been dissipated?

 

If you still have the equity in the property,

would it be less costly to obtain a mortgage against some of the equity in the property, to settle this sum owed,

rather than them e.g. obtaining a charging order.?

stop talking to them on the phones that's for sure

they'll say anything to get money out of you.

 

 

I still maintain there is no legal requirement to pay a powerless dca

and unless you get a letter from HMRC that they WILL be taking you to court

you can forget any stupid threats from a powerless DCA.

Absolutely.

However if the Legal Aid Agency (rather than HMRC) do take it to the County Court : you are at risk of getting a CCJ and a charging order.

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Ref my telephone call tonight about my alleged outstanding debt of £7877.44,

as mentioned on the telephone I have no way at this time to pay the debt in full.

 

I however can make a gesture payment of £2877.44 leaving £5000 to pay,

which I could pay £500 per month for the next 10 months.

The payment would be made by direct debit on the first day of the month.

 

Before any of the payments are made I will require evidence that this amount of debt is owed

“I.e. what has been taken into account to reach this amount”.

 

 

I have never received any sort of bill or even a letter from the legal aid agency stating that I have to make a contribution of any amount.

While in court it was never mentioned by the judge or my legal team.

 

It also seems strange that the first I ever got told about the contribution was two years after conviction,

when you (Rossendales) wrote to my wife, this of course was more than 21 days after the end of the proceedings

which denies my statutory right of appeal and also the letter being from a private company

and not from the assessing authority which means the inferred liability may not be genuine.

Ref: *********

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Ref my telephone call tonight about my alleged outstanding debt of £7877.44, as mentioned on the telephone I have no way at this time to pay the debt in full.

I however can make a gesture payment of £2877.44 leaving £5000 to pay, which I could pay £500 per month for the next 10 months. The payment would be made by direct debit on the first day of the month.

 

Before any of the payments are made I will require evidence that this amount of debt is owed “I.e. what has been taken into account to reach this amount”. I have never received any sort of bill or even a letter from the legal aid agency stating that I have to make a contribution of any amount. While in court it was never mentioned by the judge or my legal team.

 

It also seems strange that the first I ever got told about the contribution was two years after conviction, when you (Rossendales) wrote to my wife, this of course was more than 21 days after the end of the proceedings which denies my statutory right of appeal and also the letter being from a private company and not from the assessing authority which means the inferred liability may not be genuine. Taken from {http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?168-Bailiffs-and-High-Court-Enforcement-Officers/capital-contribution-order.htm}.

 

I have also familiarized myself with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consumer credit sourcebook, which states the following rules.

 

"A firm must not ignore or disregard a customer's claim that a debt has been settled or is disputed and must not continue to make demands for payment without providing clear justification and/or evidence as to why the customer's claim is not valid." 7.5.3

 

"A firm must suspend any steps it takes or its agent takes in the recovery of a debt from a customer where the customer disputes the debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds." 7.14.1

 

"Where a customer disputes a debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds, the firm must investigate the dispute and provide details of the debt to the customer in a timely manner." 7.14.3

 

In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore, ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my liability for the debt in question.

Should this not happen, I will have no option but to make a complaint to the Trading Standards Department and consider informing the FCA of your actions.

 

I have forwarded a copy of this letter to:

 

The National Courts Team

I look forward to your reply.

Ref: *********

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Ref my telephone call tonight about my alleged outstanding debt of £7877.44, as mentioned on the telephone I have no way at this time to pay the debt in full.

I however can make a gesture payment of £2877.44 leaving £5000 to pay, which I could pay £500 per month for the next 10 months. The payment would be made by direct debit on the first day of the month.

 

Before any of the payments are made I will require evidence that this amount of debt is owed “I.e. what has been taken into account to reach this amount”. I have never received any sort of bill or even a letter from the legal aid agency stating that I have to make a contribution of any amount. While in court it was never mentioned by the judge or my legal team.

 

It also seems strange that the first I ever got told about the contribution was two years after conviction, when you (Rossendales) wrote to my wife, this of course was more than 21 days after the end of the proceedings which denies my statutory right of appeal and also the letter being from a private company and not from the assessing authority which means the inferred liability may not be genuine. Taken from {http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?168-Bailiffs-and-High-Court-Enforcement-Officers/capital-contribution-order.htm}.

 

I have also familiarized myself with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) consumer credit sourcebook, which states the following rules.

 

"A firm must not ignore or disregard a customer's claim that a debt has been settled or is disputed and must not continue to make demands for payment without providing clear justification and/or evidence as to why the customer's claim is not valid." 7.5.3

 

"A firm must suspend any steps it takes or its agent takes in the recovery of a debt from a customer where the customer disputes the debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds." 7.14.1

 

"Where a customer disputes a debt on valid grounds or what may be valid grounds, the firm must investigate the dispute and provide details of the debt to the customer in a timely manner." 7.14.3

 

In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore, ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my liability for the debt in question.

Should this not happen, I will have no option but to make a complaint to the Trading Standards Department and consider informing the FCA of your actions.

 

I have forwarded a copy of this letter to:

 

The National Courts Team

Legal Aid Agency

Level 6

The Capital

Union Street

Liverpool

L3 9AF

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Yours faithfully
