    • Wait for more replies, but that letter to me can be interpreted as a letter before action. Ignoring it can have consequences. The court to impose sanctions for failure in responding to a letter of claim.
    • 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.🙂

    • 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, hope someone can help.

 

This is in regards of a 'stayed' case from August 2016 Via the County Court Business Centre.

Cabot/Restons

At the time I requested documents those being:

 

1. Agreement/Contract

2. Default Notice

3. Assignment

 

These never arrived within the period of 12 days, then a further 30 days.

I went on to deliver my defence and ultimately the case was 'Stayed'

 

Present day:

I have just received a photocopy of a credit agreement with spreadsheet statements from Cabot who now which to 'discuss the options available for this account.'

 

My initial concern is the photocopy of the agreement, in that it has clearly had something stuck over part of the section 'YOUR SIGNATURE REQUIRED' with what clearly looks like a faxed signature of who ever was signing off on the agreement, although I am unsure if this is normal practice?

 

Also the spreadsheet is very basic with no opening balance/closing balance or written indication to the amount of initial credit and whether this was increased/decreased over time during the period of the agreement?

 

Per my original request during court proceedings they have not supplied 'Default Notice',

'Assignment', although I'm sure this would be a request I would make again should the 'Stay' get lifted and it goes back to court.

 

Any help in this matter would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Andy, thanks for the quick response.

 

Is that all documentation including spreadsheets and agreement and if so I assume I would scrub out any names and AC No. and the like?

 

Cheers.

 

Hi Andy,

Ok here are the scans of two letters (came in same envelope), pg1 and pg2 of agreement, one being the signed page.

I did notice that the signed page looked like it wasn't part of the rest of the agreement as the text was of poor quality, yet all the others where easily readable.

If you want the rest let me know.

Also have done an enlarged section of the signing area, where clearly something isn't quite right?

 

Thanks again for your help.

It does look like an overlay...but thats irrelevant if your signature is correctly positioned....the fact that their signature is there is to simply execute the agreement on that date.

 

Creditors used ink stamp to execute for speed

 

Can you recall the date you signed it ? It stated that it must be signed and returned by the 31st Aug 2012....the overlay executes it on the 3rd Aug 2012.

We could do with some help from you.

OK, updated with all agreement pages.

 

It includes the first spreadsheet statement but does not show initial credit limit or any changes to that during that period.

Also no statement of of how the figure they've come up with was reached.

 

Can't remember the date of signing, although the spreadsheet would suggest within time.

 

Again thank you, let me know if you require any info from the original case or anything else for that matter.

OK, not sure if your referring to pg4 of the agreement or pg4 of the pdf?

if you are referring to pg4 of the pdf, this to me is illegible with parts of the signature section obscured by a stuck on overlay.

 

Would I be within my rights to request a legible copy of the signed agreement showing my own written representation of the date and other possibly important information that has been masked out by the overlay?

 

Why would they not have a second signatory box for the person signing off on the agreement?

 

In reference to the ROP this seemed to stop 6 months in based on the spreadsheets.

 

Thanks again.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Cabot/Restons Claimform - 1st Vanquis Card debt - Stayed now resurfaces

Hoping someone could go over this thread again as it all still applies with the added information relating to court action (attached). My reply needs to be in by 24th May (This Month).

I am planning on requesting a legible signed agreement which also does not have the date that I put down obscured with what seems to be a faxed signed overlay.


I am also questioning the spreadsheet as it does not tally with the amount on the default notice and no transparency or understanding of how the default figure was reached when calculated in relation to the spreadsheet.

Previously it was mentions about "the T&C page 4 says unexecuted"?

Any help much 
appreciated, thank you.

So their application to strike out your defence was dismissed ....shame......and they must file reserve their particulars and all the documents you have referred to by 18th May 4.00pm......if they do you have the option to submit a further defence by 25th  May 4.00pm.

 

If they fail the claim will be struck out without further notice.

 

So all you have to do is wait for the 18th May.
