    • It's genuinely amazing how you managed to rebuke pretty much all of my points without giving a single shred of evidence to prove it. When asked for evidence all you claim is that "it's clear cut" but how is anyone here meant to know if you won't show it?   I agree with this. If you can't convince us, how are you going to convince the judges when this inevitably goes to court?
    • 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?

    • 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 Silverfox i also think that the OP was indicating that SB was their current thinking and i have been through this myself very recently, i too am talking about pre98 loans and just want the OP to be aware that if Link are threatening then just ignore as they are a very dishonest bunch of parasites imo. But if the OP has been deferring then this i believe is "Acknowledgment". I would wait until dx, Andy or such like who are experts in my experience clarify though as my experience is only my own.

Then just ignore link is my advice, if they ever do manage to get you on phone? Just say "In writing only" and put down telephone.

 

Once you are 100% sure 6yrs have lapsed then send SB template letter.

 

PS: It might be worth your while sending a SAR to SLC as the SLC have obviously sold this outstanding amount to Link and do not let Link scare you with court action as they are not the original creditor. Its all just part of their devious, dishonest and frankly illegal activities to get people to pay and remember they are just a DCA and not baliffs and have very limited powers although they will lie to you otherwise!

You mean Thesis?

 

Just to elucidate further, I came on here for some advice when all this was happening and had them send me out copies of the loan twice, and there was/still is a question mark over whether it is a valid since some of the writing on the copies they provided was illegible.

 

So I have to write to them after the 6 years stating that I no longer recognise this debt or something like that?

 

I have a bit of experience at dealing with debt collectors and I know how they work, they will try to scare you when in fact they are most likely bluffing/unlikely to actually do anything about it since they probably only bought the debt for a few quid anyway. They rely on the ones who cave in and pay to keep their profit margins up.

Link and Thesis are the same company, just before Christmas i called link and there answered the phone stating "Hello Thesis" before correcting herself to "Sorry Link".

 

As regards 6 yrs once you are sure then send the "i do not recognise this debt" and follow the procedure ........ Job done.

  • 1 year later...

They've been chasing me for about 8 years now for a default on just over a year of Student Loans when I failed to send in the deferment form.

 

Up until last year though I was sending in the form and getting the loan (or the rest of it) deferred, however each year was becoming more and more of a chore. I had to hassle them to send out the letter confirming deferment and last year they just didn't bother to send a form out to me at all, so I though sod them.

 

Been getting the same letter from Thesis for years, but now this one is threatening to take me to court if I don't pay up.

 

Should I just ignore it? I'm guessing it's just an attempt to scare me and they have no real powers to do anything, right?

 

They also got my address wrong, I have told SLC about this many times, but still they get my address wrong.

 

I wrote to SLC about 8 years ago and asked for copies of the agreement, and the copies they sent were partly illegible in some parts.

 

Oh yeah, the loan was taken out pre-1998 and I live in Scotland. It's about two years now since I last acknowledged this debt, so I was thinking I can't be bothered with this hassle every year with getting them to send the form out etc, I'll just sit on it and wait for another 3 years to pass.

 

As far as I am aware I have never acknowledged this debt with Thesis, or in any case I have certainly not acknowledged this debt with Thesis for over 6 years. The debt they are chasing me for is more now though as the default amount has risen in the last because I failed to defer.

 

I'd be happy to pay this pending a commensurate income, but they haven't played fair with me, and as far as I'm concerned this was summer money I should have been getting from welfare anyway as I started the Uni the year the tories scrapped this for students.

In sheep's clothing? Is that the right metaphor for a DCA that's nothing to worry about?

 

I was just going along the lines, they've not taken any action against me in 8 years so.... but this is the first time (in a while anyway) they've threatened me with court action.

 

If they're not going to send out the deferment form, then how can I defer?

If I do that then I'm acknowledging the debt.

 

Are you recommending that I do that? I'm just thinking that they don't seem to actually do anything, and if I wait another three years and just ignore them, probably move house soon hopefully then it'll all just go away.

I haven't though, as I explained last year they didn't send the form out,

around the same time as everything in my life went south

and I sustained an injury to one of my upper limbs.

 

This is perhaps why Thesis appear to be upping the game.

 

I haven't sent in a deferment form for over two years, because I got tired of them not sending the form out

and then I have to go to the library to print one out,

then get the job centre to stamp it,

then send it by recorded delivery, then several weeks later

I have to hassle them to send the confirmation letter out.

 

I'm also on WTC now trying to run my own business

so I'm not sure where I stand with deferring

or how I go to show that I am eligible.

ok well old style loans can become SB'd after 6yrs.

 

 

so let it run?

 

 

I doubt that letter says will anywhere

and they cant I expect default or more importantly

that it will show now on CRa files.

 

 

let it run.

It does say 'Court action will then follow unless...' in one paragraph.

 

Default notice served under section 87(1) of the CCA 1974.

 

Do they own the debt now ? If not, then they cannot send out a default notice in their own name ?

Thesis own a portion on the old style loan book now, so they can send out a s87 default notice in their name and register a default with the CRAs just the same as SLC could. I've seen defaults from them on the CRAs, so I know this is not necessarily a 'bluff'.

Are you saying then they might own this debt with the SLC now, because I failed to defer they sold it on?

There were two letters. Hope the upload works and it's in the right format.

 

They is what you would expect. They can terminate the agreements and demand the whole balance back if you don't make up the arrears.

 

They do say "WILL" on the the court action, but whether they do or not is anyone's guess. Link Financial sometimes do go to court though, so you should not rule it out..
