    • for the sake of history, i've merged your old sadly failed charges reclaim court claim. have they ever sent you a default notice regarding this mortgage? dx  
    • I am financially at  point where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel regarding my debts. I have one remaining and I am interested to see what my options could be. I have be in contact with the Citizen’s Advice Bureau and the National Debt Helpline, but their advice has been a little more generic (but still helpful). This debt is 12 years old and is now owing around £3k. It was a bank loan and has been passed to several creditors over the years. A payment plan has always been in place and is up to date. I get statements every 6 months. There has never been a CCJ. I have been sent the letters advising of change of ownership. Following my own review of my finances, I decided to contact the current creditor to see if they have a copy of the credit agreement. I regarded this as due diligence as the debt has been sold on several times. The creditor updated me several times saying they had requested the document from the original lender. After 12 months of this they wrote to me saying they had not received it but were still waiting and would send it once received. The last letter was over 6 months ago. I then submitted a freedom of information request to the current and original creditor. The original creditor supplied one, but the current one did not include one in the pack they sent me. I went back to them to ask specifically about this as it was what I requested in my request. They replied saying the debt was sold to them as one without the credit agreement and they did not have it. They have requested it above, so I believe that means they cannot obtain it either for the FOI request. I contacted the original creditor and exercised my ‘right to be forgotten’, under the Data Protection Act, which they have complied with. I also got my up to date credit file and this debt is not showing on it with the current creditor or any others. I contacted the creditor and made them an early settlement offer. They do have an early settlement offer in place on their portal, but I was advised to try to get a reduction via negotiation. I have not heard back from them yet, but I understand through a separate upheld compliant it has or will be refused. Due to this complaint and the creditor putting the account on hold I had stopped payments, and advised them of this. To date, they have not contacted me about resuming payments since the complaint is resolved, but it has only been a few weeks. I am annoyed that they were not honest with me about not having the credit agreement, because that is not being transparent and I understood they should tell you if they do not have it.   I have two questions (but am open to anything else anyone would like to add): 1) Based on the above, does anyone think this account enforceable? I do not think it is? 2) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed? I could resume payments and then settle early. If the above had not happened, I may have just done that. Thank you for any help or input anyone can provide. It is appreciated.

    • 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 wondered if anyone could advice me?

 

In 2003 we moved to ROI bought a house got jobs and all was well,

we took an additional loan to complete major renovations on our house.

 

Then the recession started, we both lost our jobs we continued to talk to the bank

but there was no help available and there was no other work and no way of making a living.

 

In 2009 my mother died suddenly and I realised I couldn't carry on in ROI.

We then moved back to the UK,

 

We had heard nothing from the bank from 2009 until yesterday

we received a letter from a solicitor saying that they had been instructed as the mortgage

and additional loan is in arrears and the interest is continuing to accrue!

 

The amount they want is 366K which they want in 7 days,

if that is not paid they are going to issue summary proceedings in the High Court

to seek judgement with costs and interest.

 

We have heard nothing from 2009 to now no letters or phone calls....

..why is this happening now?

 

When we moved to the UK we have had to start again and we have a debt management plan here.

 

I am terrified what does all this mean?

what will happen?

 

our life in the last 9 months is just starting to pick up

statute barred.?

 

they saw the figure

and though that's worth a punt.

 

I assume the letter does not say will anywhere

if you read it properly..

and

that the bank are not 'their client'

but a DCA.?

 

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...

I have created your own thread gillyo66 ..please continue to post here

 

 

You refer to .... mortgage and additional loan is in arrears and the interest is continuing to accrue!

 

Are both debts with the same Company ?

 

Was the additional Loan secured on your property ?

 

What happened to the property on your return to England ?

Thank you for your replies

 

Hi

We have heard nothing at all from the Permanent TSB (mortgage) or AIB (secured loan) they didn't correspond with us even when we lived there. We had no idea about the interest accruing and felt when we left the country that the house had been surrendered to the the banks, they would sell it and that would be it..........in hindsight very naive!

 

We left ROI in 2009 but hadn't paid anything against the loan or mortgage for a year or so before that as we had both lost our jobs.

 

The letter says that they are solicitors working on behalf of Permanent TSB but we have seen no authority from TSB saying they have instructed them. Just that they are looking to secure a judgement against in the high court if we don't pay 366K within 7 days which would not be possible.

 

I think the statute for mortgages is 12 years but I'm not sure

Yes it is 12 years...and if the additional loan was secured on the property..that also will be 12 years.

Are both loans with the same company ?

Do you own any assets such as property in the UK ?

 

If you have no assets and are in a debt management plan in the UK, i think i would write back telling them this to save them wasting their time and money.

 

Once you find out more about what happened in Ireland, you might decide to get more rounded debt advice to see what options are available.

Yes I own a house in the UK which is actually what i am worried about more than anything,

 

 

since the amount we owe is such a large amount I am worried that that will be gone.

 

 

This house was bought with an inheritance from my parents

and because of our ages we would prbably never be able to buy in the UK again.

 

 

The house in the UK is in my name only whereas the house in Ireland was a joint mortgage.

If you own the house without any mortgage or loan against it, i think you might be wise to get some legal advice about protecting this asset, BEFORE any court action is started by this Irish creditor. There might be ways of safeguarding it in a way that stops it being an asset they can get their hands on.

The house has a smallish mortgage 120K GBP I could cope with anything else but not this house being taken. Would the fact it is my name only make a difference considering the mortgage in ROI was joint?

How long does the high court take? and will they want 366K from us or just the cost?

No because the debts will be joint and several and so both of you are liable.

I think you need to find out more about what has happened in Ireland, otherwise it might be difficult to deal with any UK court proceedings. Did they obtain an Irish court judgement ? If so, it might be a quick process in a UK high court to transfer judgement here.

 

It might be worth seeing a Solicitors to see whether you can protect your equity in the house against these Irish creditors. If you can do so, the complication is that the mortgage company may have to consent to whatever you plan on doing.
