    • 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 Andy.

 

I have today received a digital file from them with various documents.

I don't fully understand most of it, but noted that the loan was first defaulted 7th July 2008.

 

What else do you need from the documents that is helpful?

 

The original loan was £8500.00.

So a whole load of fees have been put on, and that doesn't take into account what I did pay.

The figures are all on an excel file with letters I don't understand.

 

Interesting documents when I made a complaint, and used a Company, over why they sent the PPI money back rather than allow it to pay for the loan. I was out of work then due to mental health.

 

There are two files,

one is the excel and

the other a PDF with all the letters etc in that one PDF in date order.

 

The last payment I made appears to be Nov 2011.

find the default notice or the date they claim to have issued it in the comms/account log [the one where human notes are made about your account.]

Hopefully I have got this right. This is in the excel page marked letters.

 

Noted as 'Default' - 07/07/2008.

Noted as 'Default Sum Notice CCA' - 08/10/2008.

 

There are then a loads of entries with the same sort of wording.

 

Hopefully I have provided the right information?

Hi. And that is good news Andy? I find it all confusing, not knowing what I am looking at or what it means.

 

Do I need to do anything ?

 

I really appreciated all the help given, my apologies if I come across a bit stupid.

Just research Statute Barred so you fully understand what your maintaining if they carry on hounding you.

The guy, I spoke to said 'he was in a new role and was case manager to a number of historical cases'. It's likely other CAG members can expect something. Here is my update:

 

After 2.5 years of nothing, I have this week received an email, phone call and text. My credit file, which they recorded Late Payments, was also suddenly changed to Missed Payments, yet nothing was noted for the previous five years. The issue after speaking to them, was the date I consider the loan to be statute-barred, was a start date of Nov 2008 (12 years ending in 2020) But they are saying the first date is 2013 when the house was sold by the mortgage company and the shortfall being sold to them.

 

I have had zero contact with them for a decade or more, when I contacted them in 2019 for incorrect information on my credit file, something they refused to change. They have accepted that interest payments would be statute-barred (2 years), so their record of the outstanding balance is not as high as they say it is, but up to the last call they had no idea what the outstanding balance was made up from, original loan 11k, the balance is now 25k.

 

The next issue is the PPI's,(edit by DX)  when I was unable to work due to ill health they refused to pay out on grounds of 'illness being present before the insurance was taken out'. I have told them I will be revisiting this at some point due to still waiting on a reply from them in 2017 saying they were still looking into it.

 

Today I received an email now saying that my credit file has been updated to show NO missed payments - this is some turnaround from their original 'we will remove it when you pay the full balance. I will continue to check to see when it does change. I am far from clear why they apologised and changed it. I have however stressed that when they suddenly started to report missed payments on my credit file, it gave me all sorts of issues with even simple things like a mobile phone contract.

 

For the moment, I am waiting for two more decisions from them.

 

1. How is the balance outstanding made up, interest, fees etc. and

 

2. What they want from me,

 

will they write it off due to statute-barred?

Or ask for a payment?

 

As for payment, I have stated (which has been recorded) I will dispute any request for payment and move to the next stage of Ombudsman, in which they can also consider a compensation claim for the incorrect credit file recording which has sat there for 2.5 years (I have taken a screenshot of this) as well as the PPIs complaint which they accept was not 'fully dealt with', whatever that means.

 

The guy I spoke to was pleasant, not a glimmer of threats or abuse as before, and today they did something I didn't expect, emailed to say my credit file has had all missed payments removed. 

 

I am far from convinced this positive step is the start of a pleasant relationship with them, I don't trust them one inch, I am certainly guarded. But for the moment I need to wait on what they want from me. I have made them aware of my circumstances, and certainly not in a position of paying anything. 

 

I also had a chat with the National Debt Helpline, and they told me the same as CAG did.

 

I will keep this updated as it now looks to become an end result, whatever that result will be.

the debt is statute barred no matter what they say. and NO the shortfall/sale shouldn't play any real part.

this also means it should never be showing on your credit file either.

 

quite honestly id be starting your complain to the ICO now.

no harm in ringing them and asking for advice.

 

not sure what you mean by PiPs?

you don't mean PPI do you?

Hi.

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

They maintain 12 years starts from 2013 not 2008, but still waiting on a written breakdown and what they are saying.

 

I should have written PPI, thats correct, my apologies.

A secured loan secured on property is treated the same a s a mortgage therefore the limitation period is 12 years 

BUT the account should not be showing on your file as it's DN is outside of 6yrs.

 

incidentally, the home was repo'd in june 2013?

 

if thats the case the shortfall is now more than 12yrs so thats dead too.

Hi.

 

I am told I will see the chnage to the credit file which maybe January before it shows up, I will know more once that is live.

 

I have now received their recovery summary, I can't say I understand it. Is it safe to upload to here? It does map out all the costs.

 

That is correct, the house was repo'd 2013, but 12 years would be 2025?

Many thanks for your reply.

Once this is done, there is going to be a balance, they said as much last week when I spoke to them that they will still be looking to claim the full 24k, to which I said ANY amount will be rejected and it will end up with the Ombudsman.

 

I understand I have to give them the opportunity to rectify the matter before moving to the Ombudsman once I have their final response/deadlock letter, is this correct?

stop speaking on the phone WRITING ONLY from now on.

they will lie lie and lie again over the phone and state things they would never put in writing to frighten and intimidate you in coughing up.

 

it also looks like when they refunded all the insurances they did not include the interest they had charged to the refund date on each.

 

this debt is becoming more a work of fiction the more we delve in.

 

also ealier you said

 

My house was repossessed in 2013.

 

who repo'd the home? central trust or your mortgage co.?

 

you also mentioned somewhere i think wrongly that this debt was sold to them?

Hi. Many thanks for your continued help. I will follow the advice and not get involved with phone calls, email only.


The house was repossessed by the mortgage company Southern Pacific not Central Trust, but they did try some years earlier. They seemed to be taking it in turns at one point.


I don't remember saying the debt had been sold to them or anyone else, as far as I am aware the house covered the mortgage, I have never heard from them.


I just don't understand the figures or the terminology they used to explain the costs, find it baffling and far from clear.
