    • 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.

Spoke too soon.

 

My request for a warrant of execution has been rejected.

 

Did I wait too long or could Abbey's solicitors have applied for a set aside and not informed me yet?

 

Any ideas anyone?

 

All I can suggest is that you call the MCOL helpline and ask...

Did as you suggested.

Apparently, Abbey have requested their set aside and the case file is with the district judge at the moment. Reminiscent of Whizzkid.

Reading through this thread and being new to this procedure of claiming money back this absolutely terrifies me, ive read quite a few threads now and is it the case that more people are reaching the court system than just getting their money back before it comes to that? Is there maybe a certain finnancial cut off before they decided to fight more, say maybe the higher amount they owe you the more likely itll end up in a small claims court? The earlier stages i have no worries about but the later stages terrify me.Which is what they want i guess.Will go through with this just need to learn more i think.

There is nothing to be afraid of. They have taken your money unlawfully and they almost certainly knew that they were taking it unlawful.

 

Don't be scare. Get angry and get your money back. It's the banks that should be afraid.

nothing here yet. so expect they are waiting for me to action something before they make a move.

Had no response since we emailed DLA and heard nothing from anyone.

Do know one thing that they get emails and never read or respond to them. do not even get the read reciept, so they are either not reading them or rejecting the read reciept.

Read Receipts often do not work outside a single organisation's email system. Don't rely on them; they may well be dropped by the mail relay of the organisation you're sending to as unimportant.

Phoned the court this morning to find out what is happening with my case. I was told the file went to the judge on the 26th June and it would be a few days yet as they are dealing with 100s of cases.

 

The interesting thing though, is that the lovely lady who answered the phone, told me that the defendant's (Abbey's) solicitors themselves phoned yesterday to find out what was going on.

 

Why would they do this if they are wanting a delay?

I phoned Abbey today regarding their request to me for returned cards etc and I told them I thought they could not do this when the amount of money they want is in dispute. (I think I'm correct with this but they didn't know anyway).

Furthermore, as I told them, I have a judgement against them for a much greater amount. They agreed to hold action for 14 days or until they find out what's going on. They knew nothing about the court action and actually asked me what was supposed to happen next!!!!!

 

Abbey got back to me today and they now say that they can pursue my overlimit amount of £309.61 (plus interest and charges), as it is a separate matter from the court case. As this amount I *owe* is made up entirely of charges I don't know how they can say this and I told them so. Apparently, their internal legal people have told them it can be treated separately.

 

We agreed to differ.

I called them - the debt management team. I also recorded the call. They are going to pursue me for the money but I really cannot see how when it is entirely from charges and interest on charges - and these are in dispute. The case file is with a district judge now.

nn this is almost farcical, if it weren't so serious. shAbbey really do have a problem with Joe Public trying to follow due legal procees.

It makes me wonder how they can still go for a set aside hearing, which would give them the chance to enter a defence, when there is so much evidence that they have no intention of ever doing so!!!!!

Thanks for that Karne. I see you have been really busy on here and reached platinum. Well done. I'll phone the court on Monday.

 

I have been up to the wilds of Scotland, white water rafting and came back to find the following letter:

 

Abbey Complaints

Abbey

PO Box 5129

Milton Keynes

MK9 2YN

 

 

Date: 12 July 2006

-OurRef

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXX

As you know, we are currently investigating your complaint that you raised with Abbey four weeks ago. I am sorry for the delay you are experiencing and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued patience.

Our research is taking longer than expected because we want to make sure a full investigation is done. If we are unable to complete our investigation beforehand, we will write to you again in four weeks time to let you know how we are getting on.

I am sorry that it is taking longer than originally thought and would like to reassure you that your complaint is very important to us.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

 

Marc Winder

Head of Complaints

 

I am really confused now as I haven't had any contact with them for weeks apart from informing them I would not be repaying the overlimit amount as it was made up entirely of charges. I really do not know where this letter fits in. My file went to the judge on 26th June.

It looks typical Abbey - left hand and right hand symdrome. We rang them up to say we were not repaying overdrawn balance for same reason as you and even made them make a note on the records. Yet they still pursued us for the money and cancelled our debit cards when we didn't pay up. It has backfired on them now because we have had 100% offer in settlement but told them it stays in court until money received. We however cannot check the balance as they have cancelled the card! Excellent stuff.

 

I wouldn't worry about this letter. They are trying to treat your claim as a complaint because it seems to be the only mechanism they have for handling these cases. When they don't reply in time you will have more ammunition to hit them with - a complaint about them to Ombudsman will cost them more money.
