    • 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

 

not sure if this is in the right place.

 

I received a letter and a call from Mortimer Clarke regarding a debt for MFS Portfolio.

 

The debt is approximately £4k.

 

I wrote to them on numerous occasions asking for details and they never sent any.

 

Mortimer Clarke called me this morning and I had to prise the information from them -  the debt is for a scooter purchased in 2004.

 

They told me that a CCJ was obtained in 2008 and was registered as a charge on the house I lived in at the time.

 

In 2011 I got into financial difficulties and as a result the property was repossessed

I assume at that time that the purchaser would have been aware of the charge. 

 

Would a copy of the judgement they obtained in 2008 still be available. 

I got the feeling even though they don't have a copy of the judgement. 

I asked them to send me what they have and we agreed they would get back to me in a month. 

I told them I would be seeking advice on the matter.

 

There's nothing on my credit file relating to this or the reposession of the property.

shouldn't ever be talking to a dca or their wolves on the phone.

they'll say anything to con money out of you.

 

the charge is dead, and the CCJ is more than 6yrs old.

it would take a very unfair judge to allow further enforcement outside of 6yrs.

 

have you written the the debt owner from your present address?

  • dx100uk changed the title to MFS/Mortimer chasing 2008 CCJ/CO - property with CO was repo'd

I emailed them and Mortimer Clarke some time ago and they never responded. 

They have my current address. 

I have received their standard contact letter. 

 

The mortgage was with Kensington and the house was sold. 

There's no record of the reposession on my credit file either. 

 

When they get in touch should I ask them for the County Court case number so I can chase that up?

yes but not officially, probably harvested from your credit file, which in a court of law is not deemed as a legal service address

Mortimer Clarke have emailed me a letter and attached

a copy of the original agreement signed on 29th June 2004 and

a reconstituted copy of the notice of assigment dated 30th November 2007.

The letter also states that the county court judgement was obtained on 6th March 2008.

 

Should I email them back and ask for the case number for the county court judgement? 

Will MFS Portfoli have to provide the court with a valid reason why enforcement of the judgement was not undertaken within the 6 year period and apply to the courts to have the judgment enforced.

 

Is there a standard letter I could reply to Mortimer Clarke with?

it is extremely rare for a judge to allow further enforcement on a CCJ outside of 6yrs .

 

I'd simply send them one further email stating.

your current and correct address.

stating that any further emails to xxxx from xxx will be blocked and bounced back unread and that all further communication needs to be sent by royal mail letter only.

if someone ever does appear

film them with your mobile phone

tell  them to leave your property and never return else you'll call police 101and send them the video.

do not engage 

 

they are not bailiffs 

and any DCA be them at your door, on the phone, via email or by letter

have ZERO legal powers on any debt no matter what it's type.

Thanks for re opening

 

This is now passed onto Cabot who are constantly sending letters  and calling (which I don''t answer). 

 

Should I ignore them given that the original ccj was 2008? 

 

It's really getting to me now and I think the worrying was definitely  a contribution to my blood pressure going through the roof and suffering a TIA last weekend.

 

I spent years getting my credit level sorted out and now have a high score with the CRA's (not that I want to get into any more debt). 

 

 They sent me another this morning saying they would appreciate if I would call them to discuss at a convenient a time.

 

I expect another letter next week.  It's bordering on harassment.
