    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Just to let you know where we are up to on this one.

 

DPA letter sent 16th October.

 

I have today received the copy statements and will claim £1,057.60 from them.

 

As I have heard that Nationwide close accounts I will add a few words about them not closing this active account with a few threats that this will cause us to fall behind with Mortgage payments etc.

 

Can anyone suggest wording I can use?

 

Thanks

After delays they were sent the letter before action 3rd Jan.

 

We received a letter 17th Jan declining to repay the charges with a very nice section in it as follow:

 

"We are genuinely sorry that this matter has caused you concern and hope this clarifies the situation and explains why we are unable to refund your charges. If you feel that you are unable to abide by the terms and conditions of your FlexAccount then regrettably it may be an appropriate time for you to consider changing your account to another provider."

 

Sounds like they are threatening me. Well I ask all of you who have accounts with Nationwide to follow my example and close them!!!!!!:o

Acknowledged MCOL today. We seems to be on the same time line. As I understand it sometimes they say they are coing to defend and don't or just do nothing. Either way they seem to just start putting money into your account in dribs and drabs.

After winning against the Nationwise, we today received a very nice letter from them stating their intention to close our account.

 

Here is my reply to them to be posted to them tomorrow:

 

Your comments on this letter are most welcome.

 

Thank you for your very kind letter of 6th February 2007 regarding you intention to close our accounts with yourselves.

We are truly shocked that you intend to take this action.

The legal action we took against yourselves was not regarding the conduct of this account, rather the regime of 'fees' you operate and if they were lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law.

By not contesting this in a court of law, and repaying these to ourselves, your organization has admitted to these charges being unlawful.

If as you state in your letter that we as your customers are “unwilling to conduct our account in accordance with your Flex Account Terms and conditions”, you also have broken your own terms and conditions.

We therefore argue that your intention to close our account is a malicious, disproportionate reaction to our “penalty charges” complaint. You have acted against the advice of your own professional body; The Banking Code Standards Board. (We note that the Abbey have stated that they will be following this advice). You may want to note that the Ombudsman has just adjudicated in a complaint against the Alliance & Leicester on a complaint that the A&L closed a customer’s account in response to a claim for bank charges. The FOS decided that the closure was indeed unfair as it was punitive and retaliatory.

We hereby serve notice that unless we hear back from you by Friday 16th February that you have reversed this decision we will take the following action.

· File a complaint with the FOS.

· Take out an injunction against this action and sue for damages.

· Start a leaflet campaign outside your branches advising customers how to reclaim their charges and where to get advice.

Yours faithfully,

I would take out the last bit about leafleting outside the branch as you may have read in the campaigns bit, but apart from that seems ok

After winning against the Nationwise, we today received a very nice letter from them stating their intention to close our account....Expect any different did U??...lol...;)

 

Here is my reply to them to be posted to them tomorrow:

 

Your comments on this letter are most welcome.

 

· File a complaint with the FOS.

If U feel so strongly inclined, U have my whole-hearted support!

It costs Nationwide for every complaint.

There is the OFT approach also, I believe?!

· Take out an injunction against this action and sue for damages.

U would have to quantify the damages in monetary terms.

The injunction may take time and money better put to use elsewhere?!

· Start a leaflet campaign outside your branches advising customers how to reclaim their charges and where to get advice.

NOT advisable on legal grounds!...Also, who pays for the leaflets btw???

 

Best of Luck!

I think it's really bad that NW want to close your account. They have admitted their charges were wrong when they gave them back to you.

 

I hope your letter works but I have to agree that the leaflet campaign would not be a good idea. You may attract Police attention and I'm sure that a good citizen like you wouldn't want that. I do totally agree with the principals though.

 

I'm chasing them for £120 so I will let everybody know the outcome.

 

Good luck - can't wait to hear if you win!

OK, Here we go.

 

After appearing on Watchdog 20.02.07 I again contact Nationwide to see if they had changed their mind, but they still aim to close my account.

 

I am now planning to get an injunction against them and sue them.

 

If anyone has any idea's on the wording I should use and how I go about this please let me know.

 

Just in case I have reactivated an old Woolwich account, which will be great when Woolwich pay up as well!!

 

Will update once the next stages start, but I am now planning to leaflet Nationwide branches, but I am now very good with Words.

 

If anyone can help me on that front, and once ready help me on this as well that would be great.

 

First target will me Morden Branch then move out from there!!!:lol:

Have U also NOT considered going down the route of starting and leading a campaign to have the Nationwide De-mutalise???

They are STILL a Building Society and should be putting their members 1st, as they have no shareholders to make profits for, and therefore, even more so, should NOT be debiting unlawful Charges and closing accounts!!!

Despite any caveats with regards not receiving any benefits from any potential floatation. It should be remembered that Nationwide's % rates are not market leading.

Just imagine how the Nationwide Board would squirm @ the thought of 100,000 CAG members having Flexaccounts and forcing the Board to seek alternative employment if they were not to change their current policies??!!

Am sure that U may have more success than your proposed local Demo?!

Viva la Resistance!...Comrade!!...;)
