    • 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.

I have just received a lifetime statement for our mortgage as I had queries over why when we had an interest only mortgage do we now owe more than £4500 than what we originally borrowed,

 

my thinking was if say we originally borrowed £100000 at the end of the term we would still owe £100000 which they agreed,

our mortgage started off with first national, then GE Money then was taken over by Kensington in 2016 .

The reason for my query was we have currently sold our house and have negative of around £7000 but should really only have negative equity of around £2400 ,

 

this mortgage started in 2006

we did have problems with payments in the early days but

there are numerous admin charges of £40

returned DD charges of between £20 and £25 and

a field agent visit of £85 and I know we never ever received a field agent visit

 

the one thing that is really puzzling me is the are numerous charges ranging from £1.50 to £23 for a reactive fee due (LRO)

 reactive fee ,

additional interest charges ranging from £2 to £9  ,

there are solicitors fees too

but we were taken to court and given a suspended possession order ,

but there are now no arrears on the account and haven’t been for around 6 years now .

Can I reclaim any of these ?

Been going through the charges there is nearly £2000 in admin and unpaid DD and £500+ in additional interest charges just need to add up the reactive fee ones, can I claim interest too? I’d put them all into a spreadsheet but have forgotten how to do it , it’s years since I claimed back the bank charges so I have no idea how to do it

Hi 
.
Just to let you know this bunch Kensington have been fined £1.225m by the financial regulator 
for treating borrowers who were in arrears unfairly. 
.
Claim those charges back plus the interest and tell them not to add any more to the account. 
.
There are a few news stories here you can get the info for a letter to send to them.

  • 3 weeks later...

I’ve been hanging on claiming for a few weeks as mortgage company wrote to me saying they were looking in to my complaint ,

 

I’ve received a response stating that because the majority of my fees were a long time ago , it is longer than the time limits set out in the financial conduct authority’s dispute resolution rules for handling complaints, (6 years) so that was their final response and if I disagreed to complain to the ombudsman .

 

So now not sure what to do

I had emailed my mortgage company to query why when our mortgage was interest only do we now owe more than we originally borrowed ,

 

we are currently selling and have a shortfall of just short of £7000 ,

where as if we still only owed what we originally borrowed it would be a shortfall of around £2000 ,

 

the mortgage was originally first National, then GE and in 2016 changed to Kensington

they sent me copies of statements dating back to when we took the mortgage out in 2006

 

in the early days there were late payment charges ,

additional interest ,

a field agent visit fee which never actually happened ,

 

eventually we got taken to court and was given a suspended possession order and made and arrangement to pay the arrears which we did , so I couldn’t see where the extra 4500 grand came from

Do i write back to Kensington , or do I go through FOS ? , I did a draft of a letter to send the other week requesting the charges be refunded , but waited to see what they said, only charge they refunded was £40 from 2013  which is the only one in the 6 year time frame , before that there is about £2000
