    • 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? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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.

No. 12. This renders the exhibit as unenforceable pursuant to section 127 (1) & (2) of the CCA1974 as the alleged date of the agreement is dated 4th May 2004 and the amendments of the CCA2006 are not retrospective to agreements entered into pre April 2007.

 

I cant find 4th May 2004 etc

Sorry but can I check is this correct? The bit in bold black I change to my date, and then what about the pre- April 2007 bit????

 

Im a bit confused, sorry

Yes your date..the date of your agreement 18th October 1993.

 

the amendments of the CCA2006 are not retrospective to agreements entered into pre April 2007.  The claimant will state that they do not need the original executed agreement...which in some case now they dont..they can reconstitute the agreement...but because yours is dated 1993 they cant.....so the the amendments of the CCA2006 are not applicable to your agreement as it was made before April 2007

Just turn up smart.  No need for  a suit.   its not like youre going in the dock.  Youll be sat around a table .    Just wear a smart outfit, and brush up on everything, as they WILL try to  bluff you if you let them.  And thats IF they dont run off before the hearing is called. And then thats if they even turn up tomorrow.

Update:

Application was dismissed and case allocated Small Claims Track now so that Crabbot can make up more documents !!

 

Application failed today due to the Screen Shot of the Default Notice I was sent as part of the Witness Statement was missing details ie the date that the Default was served. The document had a big black area on the photocopy that obscured the so called date when the Default notice was served

 

Crabbots Solicitor said he had a tablet with him that showed this document and with the date visible and would the judge like to see it? 

 

I contested that this was not acceptable to produce evidence in Court without having been sent to me first and the Judge took notes and said to him that she would not accept this

 

The Judge said to me surely you recognise this account and having a £10K debt on a credit card.

She said that she didn't believe that I couldn't remember

 

I said that I felt it was unfair that documents submitted by the Claimant can be accepted on Electronic versions and that its very easy to pull these off the Internet and insert an address and name etc

The Judge then asked me "if I was accusing Crabbot of being unscrupulous???

I said well there are cases on the Internet where they have been 

 

The Judge didn't really comment on the rest of my Defence, other than to say she doesn't like it when people research the Law on the Internet as they don't really understand all the terminology. 

I said I researched on the Internet as I couldn't afford a Solicitor

 

She then went on to chat to the Solicitor about the Trial and was 3 hrs long enough?

She wouldn't confirm but wouldn't deny that the next Judge would/ would not accept a reconstituted screen shot,

but that it was perfectly acceptable as long as it had the date clearly visible

 

She then was polite but definitely trying to frighten me with regards to Trial and Court fees

 

"If I loose the case" as she kept saying "You do understand the implications of a Trial and if you loose - don't you?"

Feeling a bit wobbly now :(

Now you await the court directions with regards to how the claim will proceed...you will have to prepare a further statement and disclosures..you have the advantage of why their application was dismissed and can add/concentrate on that part within your statement.

By now you ought to be in receipt of this firms Witness Statement in preparation for the Trial

 

We have been advised by Council who attended on our behalf that the hearing which went ahead, District Judge X dismissed the Claimants application on the grounds that the screenshot evidence had been redacted and thus you had not had sight of the evidence.

You will note that at Exhibit X of the most recent Witness Statement, an unredacted copy of the screenshot has now been included.
