    • Agreed, let them default. Keep everything in writing, if they ring to discuss the accounts over the phone, simply say 'everything in writing please', and hang up. They'll soon get the message. Get all of your paperwork in order too, if you haven't got any, or are missing relevant documents, then you can SAR the original creditor, which is free and they have 30 days to supply the info. Keep a diary of events too. sit back and relax, YOU'RE in control, not them.

    • I used to post regularly in order to provide factual information (rather than advice) but got fed up with banging my head against a brick wall in so many cases when posters insisted black was white and I was writing rubbish. I have never posted anything which was untrue or indeed biased in any way.  I have never given 'advice' but have sought to correct erroneous statements which were unhelpful. The only username I have ever used is blf1uk. I have never gone under any other username and have no connection to 'bailiff advice'.  I am not a High Court Enforcement Officer but obtained my first 'bailiff' certificate in 1982. I'm not sure what records you have accessed but I was certainly not born in 1977 - at that time I was serving in the Armed Forces in Hereford, Germany (4th Division HQ) and my wife gave birth to our eldest.   Going back to the original point, the fact is that employees of an Approved Enforcement Agency contracted by the Ministry of Justice can and do execute warrants of arrest (with and without bail), warrants of detention and warrants of commitment. In many cases, the employee is also an enforcement agent [but not acting as one]. Here is a fact.  I recently submitted an FOI request to HMCTS and they advised me (for example) that in 2022/23 Jacobs (the AEA for Wales) was issued with 4,750 financial arrest warrants (without bail) and 473 'breach' warrants.  A breach warrant is a community penalty breach warrant (CPBW) whereby the defendant has breached the terms of either their release from prison or the terms of an order [such as community service].  While the defendant may pay the sum [fine] due to avoid arrest on a financial arrest warrant, a breach warrant always results in their transportation to either a police station [for holding] or directly to the magistrates' court to go before the bench as is the case on financial arrest warrants without bail when they don't pay.  Wales has the lowest number of arrest warrants issued of the seven regions with South East exceeding 50,000.  Overall, the figure for arrest warrants issued to the three AEAs exceeds 200,000.  Many of these were previously dealt with directly by HMCTS using their employed Civilian Enforcement Officers but they were subject to TUPE in 2019 and either left the service or transferred to the three AEAs. In England, a local authority may take committal proceedings against an individual who has not paid their council tax and the court will issue a committal summons.  If the person does not attend the committal hearing, the court will issue a warrant of arrest usually with bail but occasionally without bail (certainly without bail if when bailed on their own recognizance the defendant still fails to appear).   A warrant of arrest to bring the debtor before the court is issued under regulation 48(5) of The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 and can be executed by "any person to whom it is directed or by any constable....." (Reg 48(6).  These, although much [much] lower in number compared to HMCTS, are also dealt with by the enforcement agencies contracted by the local authorities. Feel free to do your own research using FOI enquiries!

    • 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.

Ok, thanks. As I see it - if the above is correct, the court should dismiss their repo claim due to there being no arrears and you're also 19 months in front.

 

Therefore, will not not be a satisfactory outcome for you for the time being?

 

Was the WS they submitted last week to do with explaining the reason for no interest being applied, and why they're still entitled to the payments agreed from the outset - only over a shorter term?

 

Sorry again for more questions.

But in an ideal world the balance should have been wiped out due to IR, penalties and Ppi. From first rewrite.

 

However welcome sold debt on and no one can help due to the waiver.

 

The new company are not interested in all the problems. And issued repo without checking facts and not responding to me

 

Already around 30 grand has been paid towards the loan

Welcome finance entered into a scheme or arrangement

 

https://blogs.lexisnexis.co.uk/randi/how-far-reaching-are-schemes-of-arrangement-re-welcome-financial-services-ltd/

 

This is why the Fos and fca haven’t been able to help me with the debt. Normally they would but their hands are tied due to this scheme

 

The judge already told me the charge was for further advances.

 

I need the judge to see that that 257 taken out in 2006 should have been discharged on settlement. And there was no link for the further advances and welcome should have registered a new charge for Loan 984 in 2008 but they didn’t there is no doc.

 

They are using the old charge for the repo

Sorry to keep boring you with questions.

 

Are you determined to have the charge situation addressed by the court in the course of this claim, or are you simply using the anomaly to support your defence of their repo request?

 

Do you have any options in mind to address the charge later, should you succeed with getting the repo claim dismissed?

There should be no repo if the legal charge was settled? Welcomes fault they didn’t Register a new one surely

 

Going on last hearing I’m 99% sure there will be no repo in next hearing.

 

The next hearing is set for 3 hours for the judge to re numerate.

 

Judge has said throughout that I can’t use IR in a possession case. I’ve also requested that he look at the history

 

Their Figures have been wrong from day 1.

What are you thinking can be done then?

 

There are so many problems with the previous owners.

 

The new owners are well dodgy too and they have lied all along the way. Silly things in court docs about dates they purchased the loan amounts outstanding. Contradicting themselves and changing their story time and time again

 

One would have thought their story would be water tight if they are going around issuing these claims.

 

I also believe the next hearing is going to tackle the lot.and finish it once and for all.

I’m expecting their skeleton about the 7th June and their bundle on the 12th June.

 

Next hearing is the 15th June.

 

So not going to have much time in between there to get stuff done.

 

That’s why I’ve tried to make a start already. Not sure if I was right but my thoughts were it could be amended and added to if need be?

Personally, I think the judge will take the line that there are no arrears and may try to make an interpretation of the agreement terms to arrive at a repayment structure for you going forward. I reckon he'll deem the £18k as being owed. That's pure speculation obviously.

 

You may take the position that you're not paying another penny until certain concerns are satisfied, but who's to say how that will end up, and what effect it will have on the next hearing. You'd certainly be justified to stand firm on the charge being related to another loan - the Claimant has to prove otherwise.

 

I know your objective now is to get a skeleton argument written up for the hearing, and we'll come to that.

 

One thing I wanted to ask - have you read this document about cancelling a restriction? https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register/practice-guide-19-notices-restrictions-and-the-protection-of-third-party-interests-in-the-register

 

Do you think you may have a case with regards applying to have the charge/restriction removed? (once you get this claim out of the way)

lets put it this way

once those land shammy will be all over it like a fly..

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 think the only way that charge will go is by a court ordering it.

 

I haven’t paid anything for 3 years.

 

But if I still owe then there are ways of sorting that. At less per month than 231. As I am not in the position to afford that amount long term

 

The claimant hasn’t been very good on proving anything. I’ve been the one questioning them

Going off subject a minute - who acts for WF in the event that a charge is contested? The charge is owned by an alias of WF, right?

There’s been a deed of variation. Me and about 30 odd other names and addresses on that doc. I paid for that from Lr

 

Already asked welcome to remove it and the new owners

Dx you have real good knowledge on this saga.

 

I’m not barking up the wrong tree am I?

 

If that debt wasn’t sold straight after my disputes with welcome. I would t be in this situation now.

Would I

Ok... once you get through this claim, would it be worth a bash at applying for a cancellation yourself on the grounds that the loan it secured was paid off? It might go nowhere, but might also go somewhere. If WF didn't administer things correctly, they may have no claim to the security contained within the 2006 charge.

I have already been in touch with the LR since 2016 and they said the only ones could do anything is the owners.

 

To be honest the LR have not been that helpful but they have clearly told me there is no charge on property in 2008.

 

But I’m fully prepared to try anything dx will tell you we’ve exhausted every avenue that we could all the way through

Land registry email

 

entry C4 on your title relates to a charge you took out with Progressive Financial services who subsequently went into Liquidation and a portfolio of their charges (over various properties) was sold to Alpha Credit Solutions on 17 September 2016.

 

Once a charge is paid the Loan Company should apply to Land Registry to have the charge dis-charged from the title. You will need to seek Legal advice on how to have this charge removed if it has been satisfied.

 

There is no entry of a charge dated 2008 in favour of Alpha Credit on your title so they would not be entitled to repossess your property.

Yours sincerely
