    • 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 ?

    • 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.

It seems to be anybody's call at the moment. Trump is addressing the nation at some point and has talked about claiming victory early in the counting process.

 

Overnight he tweeted that the Democrats were trying to steal the vote butTwitter put a warning comment onto the tweet

 

There's live coverage on the Beeb.

Trump says Democrats have tried to disenfranchise his supporters, it's not clear how.

 

He's claimed victory in Georgia and Pennsylvania where they still have large numbers of votes to count.

 

One observer tweeted 'So Trump wants all the ballots to be tallied in Arizona (where he's trailing) but not in Pennsylvania (where he's leading). Completely shameless.'

From the Guardian live feed. I know that the media have discussed this scenario and the Guardian has added a proviso:

!

No winner has been declared yet

Millions of votes are still to be counted, including in key battleground states

Well with Trump declaring victory while losing and trying to stop the counting

 

I'm calling for Biden

 

May seem early, and theres always shocks, but its a simple Trump imposed fact that the early votes are being counted last (republican imposed situation) and the early votes were reported as VASTLY in Bidens favour - and Biden is leading with the majority of on the day votes counted and mostly early votes left to count

 

So Bidens lead should stretch out all the way in now (with a couple of red hiccups)

Its why Trumps squeeling about stopping the counting - he knows hes lost.

He seems to want votes stopped where he thinks he's losing, but counting to continue where he thinks he can win. Crazy.

 

Changing the subject, has anyone else had problems understanding the electoral college system? I've finally understood it from a Washington Post explainer, it's taken a while. I don't know if this link will work, but just in case.

Trump is done, he’s going to lose Pennsylvania and Georgia. He’s desperate, Biden will be the winner by tomorrow at the latest.

 

Trump can whine all he wants but it’s curtains for him.

I just do a bit of twitter scrolling. Having lived in Canada a while I used to take a big interest in US politics. I find this site very informative since 2007

 

www.dailykos.com

 

follow Nate Silver, Dave wasserman, Nate Cohn, Harry Enten on Twitter
 

www.fivethirtyeight.com also.

 

Basically he’s bang on to overtake Trump in Pensylvania and win by a large margin. Georgia a very narrow margin.

Vote counts are going up more than 3- 1 in Bidens favour in most areas now

 

Why do you say that about Az HB?

Biden in lead and lead growing past catching point as far as I can see, although apparently all sorts of chicanery going on from Trump supporters

cocconino and apache counties clinching it for Biden is what I saw

I've checked again and its still showing as Biden confirmed win

He just needs Nevada where he is leading to win overall - Michigan and Navada is what I based my prediction earlier on

 

Good chance Pennsylvania count result tonight and Biden is catching up fast with late counted early votes.

he was 700,000 behind there yesterday - only 200,000 behind at last figures I saw - reeling him in at 3+ - 1 - with over a million vote counts to go

Biden has taken the lead in Georgia, where they've been counting all night.

 

There was a good summary in the Guardian earlier:

 

Joe Biden
Biden needs to win TWO of Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia or win Pennsylvania.

 

Donald Trump
Trump needs to win THREE of Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada and Georgia AND win Pennsylvania.

At some point I could see action being taken against Trump, if he does not moderate his behaviour.  

 

There are senior Republicans who would join in actions to remove Trump from office earlier than would be the case.

Biden is doing well in Pennsylvania. From the Guardian Live feed at 11.42.

 

First of all, on the count, he says there are about 160,000 uncounted mail ballots in the entire state of Pennsylvania. On average Biden is winning about 75% of that mail vote. Donald Trump leads by 18,000. So, if Biden is on course to get 120,000 of those remaining votes, which would see him win the state.

 

20 Electoral College votes come with winning Pennsylvania.

yep

and less relevant in the great scheme of things as it is and its quite common for those with less overall votes to win,

on overall votes counted, Biden is nearly 4 million ahead now from just over a million ahead when I called it
