    • You can't, but you can (and really should) bring up the point that the lender isn't meeting their legal obligations in selling the property for fair market value. You'll have to do this in court, though.     A receiver is bought in by the lender, not you. If they're a registered insolvency practitioner, you may be able to raise a complaint to the insolvency service but there are no guarantees here. Many receivers are also registered with the RICS and self-regulate so if you know the name of the receiver you can check there, again no guarantees.   https://www.rics.org/surveyor-careers/career-development/accreditations/registered-property-receivership-scheme

    • Lolerz - I don't understand you.  Rebuked you?   No. I simply replied to your orange comments with legal facts as I know them.  I've already worked through the s42 and s146 issues - over the last 3-4y - and these issues are (mostly) resolved legally.  In terms of posting evidence.  Sure I can post some.  But my most recent questions have been a) how can I enforce a sale before trial?  And b) how can I make a complaint and/or a claim v receiver? (E.g. to which body do I complain?).  At the mo I'm asking for some helpful pointers on those specific questions??  I'm not asking for help with how to prove or present evidence. Fwiw - all evidence for trial has been disclosed (although additions are poss). The lender sent me like 10,000 emails and docs.  There's also 000s of emails, docs, photos, videos, recordings and texts that relate to freeholders/ me.   I read, filed and categorised everything for ease of future reference.  Witness statements and evidence were prepared for trial in the 42 and 146 matters. (now joined with current claim to save duplication).  I've lived the process before.  My current statement and linked evidence has taken like 6 months to draft/ write - to ensure I can succinctly prove my defence and counterclaim points.   Whether I can convince a judge at trial w/o lawyer / barrister is debatable 🙄   But I've prepared.  And continue to try better prepare - which is why I visit this site (and clinics).  This is NOT my business or expertise at all.  I'm just trying.  Not that anyone should ever have to justify why they need help if they ask politely! 
    • Thanks for the other info will also take a look at that.
    • It doesn't use the word reconstructed in the cover letter.  Although, I have just noticed on the cover letter they have asked me to complete a financial statement and offer a repayment within the next 10 days, or they will continue to follow court directions.  They sent a separate letter on the same day advising me they will be continuing with their claim ?  They have done the same for both claims.  Is it worth just doing that - doing the financial breakdown and offering a x amount.

    • 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.

For the last six months, I have received a barrage of Court papers for alleged parking infringements by the same operator, Excel Parking Ltd and am considering taking legal action against them.  Here is a summary:

 

CASE 1

Pursued 4 years after the alleged infringement only for the case to be summarily vacated the claimant within days of the Court hearing

 

CASE 2

Pursued 2 years after the alleged infringement.  Case dismissed by the judge as evidence provided by the claimant clearly proved a valid ticket was purchased and displayed

 

CASE 3

Pursued 2 years after the alleged infringement.  Received and completed Notice of Proposed Allocation to the Small Claims Track and awaiting Court allocation.  Claimant has claimed they already have CCJ against me for this case despite no Court allocation or hearing and have advised of impending bailiff action.  Requests for detail of the alleged infringement not met.

 

CASE 4

Being pursued for an "over-stay" at a motorway service area car park despite having never been the legal owner or keeper of the vehicle in question

 

Any suggestions on my next move?

Where on earth do you keep parking to get this many invoices?

 

What service station where?

 

Can you scan and upload your evidence of invoices?

 

As for taking legal action against them I guess it all depends on how much time you have to waste?

 

Nothing good will come of it, vent to your local MP and councillors . 

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

To my (limited) knowledge, courts set a high bar for harassment.

 

However, we're well aware of the antics of Simple Simon, owner of Excel and VCS.

 

CASE 3 worries me a bit.  You haven't moved during these four years have you?  Is there any chance of you not having received court papers and then a backdoor CCJ being issued?

 

If you send Simon a SAR he will have a statutory duty to come clean with all the info. his horrible company has on you, and will be in hot water if he doesn't comply.

Harassment is a difficult one to win. Much easier is to sue them for GDPR breaches. 

 

Case 2 is a good example - the  going rate for that would be £500 perhaps but may be as a low as £200 which would probably cancel out the cost. Although case 4 should also be good for you.

 

Like FTMDave I am concerned for you about case 3 .

 

Please check your credit file to see if it is all clear.

If so then GDPR is good for  that .

If they do have a ccj for you please come back to us with advice how to possibly remove it.

 

I wouldn't pursue case 1 as they may have had good reason to obtain your details that time.

Case 3 - If there is a CCJ, they don't have to provide you with details of the infringement, you've already been found liable. If you want to dispute liability, you'll have to make a set-aside application.

 

Case 4 - It doesn't matter if you were never the owner or the registered keeper of the vehicle. If the registered keeper received the ticket and named you as the driver, you'll have to provide evidence that you weren't the driver who parked the car at the time the ticket was issued or dispute that you were.

CASE " There is no CCJ.  The Court or case hasn't even been allocated to date.  

 

CASE 3 With regard to the "over-stay" issue, documentation does refer to a car I own.  But the one in the photos supporting the claim is different!

 

So no ifs!

Just to be on the safe side please look at your credit file-the last thing anyone needs are bailiffs kocking on the door. It may be that you have another PCN with them somehow mixed up with the one on case 3.

 

I think you meant case 4 on your post above regarding the overstay. With ANPR sometimes the reg. no. can be misread. If that is the case then they have breached your GDPR.  If you challenged them on this and they still keep pursuing you then eventually that could be harassment  but the GDPR breach is much the safer bet.

I understand you think these cases are connected (they are, they all involve you!) and that Excel are harassing you, the problem would be proving it in court as VCS would argue they administer the car parks where your vehicle was parked and had every right to take action.

 

CASE 1  Done & dusted, you saw them off, well done.

 

CASE 2  I agree with lookinforinfo.  If they actually sued you when you had a ticket showing then that is a very serious GDPR breach.  If you want to go down the road of suing them, please start a new thread and give us more details of what went on, with the important documentation redacted & uploaded.

 

CASE 3  Yes, I understand it's at the stage of awaiting court allocation.  However the mention of a CCJ made me & lookinforinfo be concerned that there may be a case 5 and Excel have sued and won by default at a previous address.  Can you rule this out?  As I said above, you should send Excel a SAR.  It's free, it will annoy them, they will have to do some work and if they breach their statutory duty then that's something else you could sue them for.  If you want help with this case (although you seem to have a superb record of beating Simon!) please again start a new thread.

 

CASE 4  So was your car actually in the car park but bone idle Simple Simon has sent the wrong photo, or is it  case of licence cloning?  If the latter Homer is spot on, if the former then again we would be pleased to help if you give more details in a separate thread.

I refer to the below :

 

"CASE 2  I agree with lookinforinfo.  If they actually sued you when you had a ticket showing then that is a very serious GDPR breach.  If you want to go down the road of suing them, please start a new thread and give us more details of what went on, with the important documentation redacted & uploaded".

 

I started legal action against EPS but was advised by the judge at a pre-trial hearing that there had been no breach of Data Protection law in my case and that the EPS attendant had merely failed to read the ticket correctly. 

 

This is despite the earlier case against me being dismissed by the judge with the comment: "And upon the court noting the pay and display ticket was clearly displayed and not obstructed"

 

A redacted copy of my claim is attached.

 

Do I have grounds to sue under a GDPR breach? 

 

And how should I proceed.
