    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!!

    • 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.

I'm wondering if someone could help me with Cabot Financial regarding some old catalogue debt?

 

I got evicted from my home due to a divorce in May 2007 and had nowhere to go so didn't leave my forwarding address to the catalogue company.

 

 

I think it may have been 2006 when I was struggling to pay my debts and so hadn't paid the catalogue company from probably around that time (2006).

 

I did find somewhere to live in August 2007 and it was between about 2011 and 2013 that the catalogue company caught up with me.

 

 

I did admit to the debt and said I would try and pay.

I cannot remember if at that time I did make a small token payment or not, but if indeed I did, I never made any more after that.

 

Forwarding on to April 2014,

I had to move house as I couldn't afford the bedroom tax.

 

 

Cabot financial got in touch with me by letter saying that they were wanting money for the catalogue debt and I have ignored the letters and the harassing phone calls ever since I found out that it maybe statute barred.

 

 

Could anyone let me know if this is indeed statute barred given that it is now 2017

or since I admitted to the debt during 2011 to 2013 that it started the clock during this period.

 

Cabot have added £800 onto the original debt.

I haven't acknowledged them and have blocked their phone calls as I don't want to admit to anything until I know my rights.

 

Can anyone please tell me if I stopped paying the catalogue in 2006 and I admitted over the phone that it was my debt some time during 2011 and 2013 if it started the clock again during this period?

 

 

Do I admit to Cabot that it's mine.

I cannot afford to pay the amount of the original debt, let alone the £800 that Cabot have added on top.

 

 

Can Cabot take me to court if indeed the clock started between 2010 and 2013?

 

 

Thank you.

Hello,

 

Have you checked your credit file to see what's on there?

Noddle is free.

 

IF you haven't paid anything since 2006, then absolutely NOTHING will unbar it, you can take out a full page spread saying you owe it, but it will still be unenforceable.

 

A phone call saying you owe it DOES not unbar it either.

 

If you are 100% that you have NOT paid anything in the last six years, OR acknowledged this debt (in writing) then fire off the SB letter in the library above, IGNORE everything from Cabrot, less for a court claim, which won't happen, this is a poxy catalogue debt.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks very much for replying. I honestly cannot remember whether I paid a payment or just agreed to. I guess I shall have to trawl through my old bank statements. Luckily I've kept them since 2009

and no matter what, if cabot hold the debt, then it is extremely likely its unenforceable anyway. Like BB said, get your research done first, as cabot will lie cheat and borderline commit fraud to get money from you. You need to be able to stop them dead in their tracks.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

The original debt has gone up by £800, which states on the letter as an admin fee

 

If I find out if I did indeed make a payment to the catalogue company, can Cabot take me to court if the clock started ticking again?
