    • I have had a secondary thought.  I borrowed £s from a completely separate entity 6y ago. It was personal and unsecured. I was going to repay upon sale of the property. But then repo and I couldn't.  Eventually they applied and got a charging order on the property.  Their lawyers wrote that if I didn't repay they may apply for an order for sale.  I'm not in control of the sale.  The lender won't agree to an order for sale.  The judge won't expedite it/ extract from trial.  Someone here on cag may or may not suggest I can apply for an order v the receiver?  But could I alternatively ask this separate entity with a c.o to carry out their threat and actually make an application to court for an order for sale v the receiver instead?
    • You left the PCN number showing, but no worries, I've redacted it. Euro Car parks are very well known to us.  I've just skimmed through the titles of the latest 100 cases we have with them (I gave up after 100) and, despite all their bluster and threats, in not one have they taken the Cagger to court. You stayed there for 2 hours &:45 minutes.  I'm guessing the limit is 2 hours and 30 minutes, right?  
    • If the claimant fails to draft directions the court can order a Case Management Hearing to set them but normally in Fast Track claims the claimant sets the directions...Unlike small claims track which are always set the court.
    • Not Evris offer, the court offers mediation service.   All claims proceed to hearing if mediation fails /not happen.   Why do you not wish to attend in person to stand your claim ?     Absolutely you must comply with the courts directions or your claim risks being struck out. Preparation for a hearing should happen irrespective of mediation.   https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/460613-suing-a-parcel-delivery-company-when-you-dont-have-a-direct-contract-with-them-–-third-party-rights-copy-of-judgment-available/#comment-5255007   Andy  
    • LPA.  (I'm fighting insolvency due to all the stuff that he and lender have done).  He appointed estate agents - (changed several times). Disclosure shows he was originally appointed for a specific reason (3m after repo) : using his powers as acting for leaseholder to serve notice on freeholders (to grab fh).  There was interest from 3 potential buyers. He chose one whose offer depended on a positive result of the notice.  Disc also shows he'd taken counsel advice - which was 'he'd fail'.  He'd simultaneously asked to resign as his job (of serving notice) was done and he'd found a buyer.  Lender asked him to stay on to assign notice to the buyer.  Notice failed, buyer didn't buy.  So receiver stayed.  There was 1 buyer who wanted to proceed w/o fh but receiver/ lender wasted 1y trying to get rid of them!  Disc shows why. But I didn't know why at the time. In later months Lender voiced getting rid of receiver. Various reasons - including cost.  But there's a contradiction/ irony: as I've seen an email (of 4y ago) which shows the receiver telling lender not to incur significant costs and to minimize receiver costs.    Yet lender then asked him to serve another notice - again counsel advice indicated 'he'd fail'.  And he did fail.  But wasted 3y trying and incurred huge legal costs - lender trying to pass on to me. Lender interfered - said wanted to do works.  Receiver should have said no.  But disc. shows he agreed to step aside to let them do the works - on proviso lender would discuss potential costs first (they didn't), works wouldn't take long (took 15m), and lender would hold interest (they didn't) (this last point is crucial for me now - as I need to know if I can argue that all interest beyond this point shouldnt be allowed?)   I need to check receiver witness statement in litigation with freeholders to see exactly what he said about 'his position'. But I remember it being along the lines of - 'if the works increased the value of the property he didn't have a problem'.  Lender/ receiver real problems started at this point. The cost of works and 4y passage of time has meant there is no real increase in value. Lender (or receiver) didn't get any permissions (statutory or fh) (and didn't tell me) and just bulldozed the property to an empty shell.  The freeholders served notice on me as leaseholder for breach of covenants (strict no alterations).  The Lender stepped in (acting for me) to issue notice for relief of forfeiture - not the receiver.  That wasted 2y of litigation (3y if inc the works) and incurred huge costs (both sides).  Lender's aim was to do the works that every potential buyer balked at due to the lease restrictions.  Lender and receiver knew couldn't do works w/o fh permission. Lender did them anyway; receiver allowed.  Receiver remained appointed.  I'm arguing lender interfered in receiver duties.  Receiver should have just sold property 4-5y ago w/o allowing any works.  Almost 3y since works finished the property remains unsold (>5y from repo). The property looks brand new - but it was great before.  The lender spent a ton of money - hoping that would facilitate a quick sale.  But the money they spent and the years they have wasted has meant they had to increase sale price.  It's now completely overpriced.  And - of course - the same issues that put buyers off (before works) still exist.   The receiver has tried for 2y to assert the works increased value. But he is relying on agents estimates - which have proved highly speculative. (Usual trick of an agent to give a high value to get the business - and then tell seller to reduce when no-one buys.). And of course lender continues to accrue interest (despite 4y ago receiver saying pause interest). Lender tried to persuade receiver to use specific agent. Disc shows this agent was best friends with the lender's main investor in the property.  Before works this agent had valued it low.  After works this agent suggested a value 70% higher!  The lender persuaded receiver to sack one agent and instead use this agent.  No offers. (Price way too high).   Research has uncovered that this main investor has since died.  I guess his investment is part of probate? And his family want it back?    Disc shows the sacked agent had actually received a high offer 1y ago.  Receiver rejected it.  (thus I don't know if the buyer would have ever proceeded). He was relying on the high speculative valuation the agents had given him to pitch for the business. The agents were in a catch-22.  The receiver sacked them. Disc shows there has been 0 interest ever since (inc via new agent requested by lender). I don't think lender or receiver want all this to come out in public domain via a trial.  It will ruin their reputations. If I can't get an order for sale with lender - can I apply separately against receiver?

    • 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.

Had a whole bundle of statements from the halifax, however they dont list the reason for the charges, it just says 'charges as notified - £60' etc, are these the ones i have to calculate? I thought they were obliged to provide details of exactly what the charges relate to, under the data protection act? They have also said that they are not obliged to provide details of manual intervention. Are they just trying to be awkward or have i totally misunderstood the whole thing?

just put charges as notified on the spreadsheet as thats all the info they provided

and yes they should provide all info they hold on you unless you only asked for info on charges, as for the manual intervention if you asked for the info on this and they haven't provided any don't worry as if they ever turn up at court( which they won't) they'd have problems submitting any evidence of this as they've failed to give it to you under the dpa you sent

OK I GIVE IN

Is there a spreadsheet to work it out on this site? (had a search cant see one) or do i just add up all of these charges and send them the request letter, adding on the interest further in the proceedings? I have read the FAQ's etc i'm just double checking that i've understood correctly!

Hi There,

I am new to this too!!

And yesterday i received the same as you, statements that just say 'Charges as notified' and that they dont hold manual intervention details.

I dont think it just means returned direct debits as I am sure some of mine are interest too they range from £28.00 to £147.00.

In 6 months they have charged me £1226.00

Seeing as we are at the same stage maybe we can post each other every now and again and find out how we are getting on!!

Dont know about you but i find this very nerve wraking:-D

When I said Charges As Notified meant ret. dds. I meant that was what it meant in my case and I have had charges that range from £35 to £117 but that usually meant 3 failed dds if you get what I mean. Of course it can be for failed SOs and returned cheques etc. All that aside, welcome and good luck to you.

There are 2 instances of interest you can claim:

 

1.When you go overdrawn the bank will charge you interest, perfectly lawfully.

 

However, if part of your overdraft is made up of penalty fees, they are also charging you interest on these too and it is this interest which you are entitled to claim back, but it's tricky to separate out from the total interest figure.

 

Vampiress has a spreadsheet, (the 2nd one), in the bank templates library, which attempts to calculate this

 

It's quite complex and unless your claim is large often doesn't amount to that much, so for simplicity's sake, some people don't bother

 

This is the interest referred to in the preliminary and LBA letters.

 

 

2. 8% interest on your claim, but only when you submit a claim at court. Don't add this interest before.moneyclaim

 

Both spreadsheets are here:

When trying to calculate charges for the past 6 years, i realised the cheeky little beggers have sent 6 years of statements alright, these are however the wrong 6!! they have sent statements from 97-2000 and 2003 to 2006! Has anybody else experienced these blatant delay tactics??

No and im suprised as normally they are very helpful at this stage in the matters.

Maybe its a genuine mistake (or maybe they getting onto the fact who knows) but write to them explaining the mistake and ask them to send the correct ones, they shouldnt charge for this mistake either

 

Good luck

All advice :p is given purely from personal experiences :mad: . If you are in doubt you should always seek legal / financial advice;) .

If i have helped in any way please let me know via personal message, IM in aol or clicking on my scales :D go on you know you want to really!!

When i asked for my copy bank statements i received a letter saying that they were under no obligation to send my statements and were refusing my request.

 

Two days later I received every single statement (communication error perhaps)

 

I figured out the sum owed and requested it back in full, including interest. They responded saying that they were looking into the matter. Two weeks later they have written back to say they will have an answer for me by 4 September 2006. Should i write to say this is unacceptable or just let them deal with the matter at their own pace?

 

Are they trying to find a loophole that they can exploit so that they dont have to pay?

 

Thanlks

  • 4 weeks later...

Can anybody please give me a bit of help here!? Follow carefully! first of all i sent the SAR on the 11 of july, they sent the statements very promptly within 10 days, however, they had sent statements from 97-2000 and 2003 to the present day, omitting half of what had been requested i.e. 2000-2003. I informed them immediately, they apologised sincerely and promised to send them out straight away. They have now exceeded the initial 40 days by approximately a week. Do i send the faliure to comply letter now or do i allow this delay because of the mistake?

I would be nice and allow a further 7 days, but I would make them aware of this and inform them that further non-compliance, will result in action being taken against them. However in the mean time I would check what statements you do have and start entering them into the speadsheet, just to give you a ball park figure of what you may be looking at.

I would advise sending the letter from the templates library, giving 7 days to supply the missing info - send it to

HBOS PLC

Legal Services - Retail Division

Trinity Road

Halifax

West Yorkshire

HX1 2RG

 

Follow this up with a phone call (to legal services) a couple of days later to check they have it and are going to comply, otherwise you will be forced to start court action.

 

In the mean time, add up your charges, write the Prelim Letter and make you total a partial estimated one - the charges you know of plus the estimate from the missing years (based on an average 'per month' from what you know of). This means that your actual claim willnot be delayed. You can amend the total to give a correct figure either at the LBA stage, or court, as soon as they do supply.

 

OK?
