    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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

 

Have 2 NatWest credit cards taken out about 1995/1996 - on which I have been making token payments of

£2 per month which just jogs along. £1400 outstanding on one card - £2200 on the other card.

 

Token payments commenced about 2 years ago as lost job due to illness and have not worked since.

 

I am 65 and now have heart failure problems - so trying to sort out affairs in case of further problems.

 

I know I should CCA them - but what then. Do they write off debts? My GP can confirm my health position. It's crazy really - we all bailed out

NatWest during banking crisis to the tune of some £20K+ each - so in effect they owe us!

 

Your advices how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Would it help to go through Citizens Advice or similar? Let me know what you think.

Hi Pathway,

Are these token payments made to Natwest/Triton or a DCA?

Send a CCA request for each of the accounts (CCA letter in the templates section), make ssure you enclose a £1 postal order for each one and print your name, do not sign and send via recorded delivery.

When/if you recieve anything back, post up but remove personal details and barcodes and full amount for your own security reasons to stop being identified.

As to bailing out the banks, yes the UK Government did stick us all in 15K worth of debt each, I would love to put my 2p's worth in but if I did this would go seriously off topic.

Best Wishes

Stigman

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

There is a very good chance that they will not have the documentation to enforce through a Court. Basically what that means is that the debt still exists but is not enforceable.

 

I myself am at the same stage of life so know exactly what you are feeling and trying to achieve.

 

It is not the remit of this site to encourange avoidance of debt, but, on the other hand the reality of your situation, (as mine) is that by making these small payments the debt is going to long outlive us.

 

In my situation (with NW) I went down the CCA route and once satisfied that they have no enforceable documentation, I sent a letter taken from another site before I found CAG about ill-health and age. I have neither made any further payments, nor heard a word about these accounts for several years now. They still appear on my CRA files, but as at my time in life I would never want credit again, this is a minor irritation. On this point, each payment made re-sets the SB clock.

Hello

 

After a long time The Financial Ombudsman instructed NatWest to pay out on my ppi claim.

 

However, Nat West have sent the payment to their Credit Card Centre as there is approx £400 outstanding

which is all DISPUTED interest and fee charges.

 

I know about the right of set off etc - but as the £400 is disputed I believe their action to be unfair as they propose

to deduct the £400 from claim.

 

any advices would be appreciated.

Surely you could let them off-set and claim back the charges from the Credit Card, using the same method as PPI.

 

Numerous people have won back the charges on these forums

Hello

 

I have old credit card debt on a NatWest credit card.

 

I had been making nominal £1 payments a month for the last 4 plus years or more until last June 2015 and they passed to Moorcroft.

 

The balance is £1200 but I dispute £700 of it - mostly interest and charges.

 

Nat West have now passed the debt from Moorcroft to Cap Quest.

 

I am totally fed up with the whole thing.

 

What is the best thing for me to do. I am fed up with all this harassment. I am 71 years old and have heart problems etc.

 

How do I draw this thing to a conclusion?

 

Your advices would be appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Hi Pathway

 

I would suggest sending a CCA Request to see if there is a Consumer Credit Agreement available.

You could also raise a complaint about the charges and attempt to reclaim them too x

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hello

 

Have a debt with NATWEST which is being passed from one debt agency - they give up and then NATWEST pass to another debt agency.

 

In the old days under the OFT this practice was against their guidelines.

 

Now the OFT is no longer there - do I complain to Financial Conduct Authority?

 

Your advices would be appreciated.

 

Iam 71 years old and have several serious health conditions and this is driving me mad.

They do not have one to supply.

 

Hi Pathway, just out of curiosity do you know why NatWest passed the debt to a DCA?

 

I'd guess it's because they don't have a valid cca (as you mentioned above)

and therefore they've passed it to the cash cow experts!

 

I'm not a lot younger than you, I took out my NatWest credit card in 1997, and defaulted in 2006.

 

When I cca'd them they did produce a valid agreement (which I had checked).

 

I'd been paying them £2 per month, now reduced to £1 per month.

 

However they informed me that the debt would only be passed to a DCA if I missed any payments.

 

My next review is in six months time.

 

My debt is around £8k

- I have offered them a 30% F&F (from my daughter) which they refused,

even though they know I've no assets.

 

I wish I was in your position where they can't locate your agreement,

I think you're on a winner here, the experts on here will give you good advice.

 

Best of luck.

Thanks for yr messages.

 

I was also paying £! per month till June last year. I have disputed the balance.

So they have passed the account to Moorcroft - which has now been passed to Capquest.

Under the OFT (when they existed) it was bad practice to pass from one dca to another!

 

So do the FCA now consider this to be bad practice?

 

Who knows?

makes no odds..

 

 

send a CCA request to whomever is chasing you.
