    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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, writing this for my mum as she's too stressed to think at the moment, I hope you can help us out.

 

Some time back my mum and dad got a joint loan, she did the earning and he did the spending, she wasn't wanting the loan but was talked into it by him.

 

A few years later they seperated and she remarried.

Financialy the loan was taken over by idem servicing and the debt was just over 10k, they had both aranged to repay this equaly from June 2000.

 

Mum stopped payment as she had paid her half, then was contacted by letter in her old name asking to get in contact for the account.

She has found that her ex (dad) has not paid a penny, she has spoken to them several times about this - as she is jointly liable.

They are saying the account now stands at 4.6K

 

Sorry for my first post being so long but she's under issues with re-joining work after an operation, having been on Statuary Sick pay which has not helped, and we would like to ask for any help or advice.

 

Next week is the first opportunity to contact the CAB but I would like to ask if anyone can help?

 

With thanks

I'll begin about explaining the principle of the joint loan that your parents have.

 

To begin with, the joint loan means that they are jointly and severally liable. This means that they are liable each of them to pay 50% – but they are each liable to pay the whole loan of if the joint partner fails to pay their share.

 

This means that the lender is correct to pursue your mother for the second half. I'm afraid to say that it was probably a mistake to stop paying when she didn't know that the rest of the commitment would be met by her ex-husband. By doing this she has incurred charges, damaged her credit file and brought a raft of problems.

 

She would have been better off paying and then proceeding against her ex-husband.

 

The situation now is that she will have to try and get the money from your dad. You will have to tell us more about his situation in order to understand how to go about it.

 

However, having said that – you need to tell us something more about the loan.

 

One important to ask is when was the loan taken out? When was the last payment made? And generally you should follow the link and fill this out

 

Also, who was the original creditor? Do you know if there is any PPI attached alone? What charges have they been levying in respect of late payments?

 

If we think that the loan is enforceable then you will have to tell us something about your dad's situation – you know where he lives? Does he own his own home? Is he employed? Do you think he has any money?

We will be asking these questions because it will be necessary to consider bringing a legal action against him in order to recover his share of the money. Would your mother be up to doing this?

stop talking to powerless DCA's on the phone

they are NOT BAILIFFS

and have

ZERO legal powers.

 

who was the original loan with?

you say idem got ahold of this in 2000?

blimey looks like you have been cash cowed blind

 

bit more history please

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...
