    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

And in addition to the above question, you really need to give much better details – particularly the dates that the debts were incurred and also information as to when the last payment was made.

you didn't mention whether your wages are paid into a account controlled by one of your creditors , if it is open a parachute account or they could use the money to offset against their debt .

 

I would offer them all one a month for 3 months saying you are trying to organise your finances and make a income and expense to see what money you have left over and then divide it pro rota against your creditors , also ask for a freeze on interest and charges

its a santander current account, none connected to any of the debts...........how much should i offer them? £1 a month for 3 months?

 

i don't want to be hassled on the phone so soon into this so if i pay just £1 surely the calls are gonna start?

no you also send them a letter saying contact only via mail and they have to respect that no you are giving them a nominal amount while you try to organize your finances when you have finished your income and expenditure then you offer them a a mount each month and that's all they get , national deby helpline has a good I & E I have used that quite a lot it does all your calculations for you , also its in the format thay everyone has agreed to .

 

 

As to the phone calls when I went for the 3 months I paid the first £1 a month while the letter were in the post , all this shows is you are not running away from your debts but need time to sort something out .

 

On another note is there a relative that could possibly lend you a lump sum to make a full and final settlement , so creditors will go for that I had two that settled the rest are on £1 a month at the moment

my first dealings have started,

 

natwest will not reduce my payment after being on the phone for ages, i wanted to reduce payment from £323 pm to £225

 

they offered to extend my loan period but i was refused when they tried, then more or less said go to stepchange and try a DMP , no one could make a decision on whether they would accept my offer s

 

I fired it up the line not taking no for an answer as it was nuts if i went to stepchange they would get offered £50 but i was willing to pay £255, they saw my point but couldnt agree to do it. nuts

 

i want to be upfront here with you guys, ive been bankrupt before 11 years ago thru gambling, its happened again ive got into debt but im going to sort myself out.

 

i'm thinking bankruptcy is a quick win but can someone point out the drawbacks if i do it......so summary

 

£1900 income

£1750 out goings inc debts

£150 maximum to live off

 

my partner doesnt know and i wont risk losing her over this to borrow off her, she wont understand trust me.

 

WOULD YOU GO BANKRUPT?

i pay £900 for my board, food etc, everything so technically if my debt was wiped out i'd have £1000 pm excluding day to day living cost and have a mild standard of living,

 

im going to try and offer the creditors £720 pm between them by doing my own DMP but my first dealings with Natwest have made me think so this just go bust...

 

.theres no house or assets in my name at all, no saving nothing they can take other than the receiver looking at my debts and coming up with a figure.

 

would they make me bankrupt in your opinion?

 

would they force me down a DMP even though i could show them i tried but got no where?

 

do i tell them that say 50 % of the debt was gambling?

ive already had form for it.

 

any advice please?

It depends on what your disposable income is after deducting day to day living costs. You may end up going bankrupt but paying off most of the debt anyway as disposable income above £20 per month is likely to be subject to an income payments agreement.

Comments on the results

 

You do not have enough monthly income to meet your expenses and your minimum monthly debt repayments. Seek ways to increase your income and/or reduce your expenditure by £24. Whatever your results show, it always pays to seek advice or comments from others. Why not post your SOA details on our Debt Management discussion board or on your preferred discussion forum elsewhere. Thankyou for using the SOA Calculator at http://www.stoozing.com.

 

 

so this is my SOA,am i missing anything i could claim for?

 

i'm trying to work out if i go bankrupt will i have less spare cash than the £104 i have at the moment, i know with an ipa i'd be debt free in 3 years but if they take everything off me i'd have nothing to have some sort of life.

 

i need to be very honest, the £900 i pay my partner includes £250 towards a a wedding, but i don't want to tell the OR this will they think £900 board pm is too high? i cant reduce it as she( my partner would start asking questions) i hope you's understand where im coming from om this.

Please read post 13. DO NOT TALK OVER THE PHONE REGARDING YOUR DEBTS!

 

 

Of course the bank wouldn't accept your offer, you asked them, what you need to do is TELL them IN WRITING what you will be paying them, they don't need to agree.

 

 

Unless you start telling them to jump, then they're going to continue to walk over you.

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!
