    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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.

Thanks for the prompt reply,

 

So just say yes to it all and then when it comes to the call say no is what you are suggesting as they ask the same two questions again.

 

Can I ask what about the application to throw it out? Not yet? Or not at all?

I have received an email advising that they want to mediate and we both agree,

I have to send this back again and tick the same two questions that we previously discussed.

 

I presume I do the same again and say yes that I have had all the paperwork as from what you say they will ask me again over the phone?

I have received the call and was given authorisation to complete the mediation.

The person booking asked the same information, I said yes but I saw that I will be asked again on the day - tomorrow.

Lowell have still not sent anything through regarding the paperwork in this case that we requested with the letters.

 

So for clarity

I presume that when asked at the start of the call that they have provided everything I say No and it terminates the Mediation?

Or just go through it and say they have given nothing and it is statute barred?

both..you ensure mediation before it begins understands that you do not in your opinion hold enough information to meaningfully make a reasoned and reliable decision as the claimant has failed to provide any documents.

Well went through it lasting just over 12 mins in total.

Lowell claim a payment was made in 2015 to the card but can't at this stage provide proof.

 

An agreement to pay was made on the card until 6 June 2012 which is the record we have.

The payment is alleged to have been made to Lloyds who then forwarded the payment to Lowell, but there is no evidence of this at the moment.

 

They only offered an instalment plan in the conversation and the mediator then terminated and said it will go to court.

We can't find any record of this payment, but lets hypothetically say - If the payment was made to Lloyds and they forwarded it to Lowell what position does this put us in? (still waiting for them to prove it but they haven't sent anything through, although during the call she said that they had the original agreement and a statement but not anything on this payment).

well it wont be SB'd but Lloyds will have record of it ofcourse and Lloyds have said to you they don't.?

 

as above yea old phantom payment wriggle they try on.

 

and ofcourse it wont match any other payment figure

 

you say above you were paying £9PCM till mid 2012

then they say this one was £200 in 2015?

It was a regular £9 pcm until June 2012, the single payment was in July 2015 for £200.

 

During the mediation call this morning they said that they were waiting for Lloyds to provide the evidence that the payment was made to them and then passed across.

 

Lowell haven't provided anything, however again during the call the mediator stated that they had a copy of the original agreement for the card and a statement up to June 2012 but not about the single payment, they were still waiting for information on that one.

 

They have not sent anything through to us at home, this was the hearsay from the mediator.

I posted on here previously about a Lloyds debt that was sold to Lowell and they sent a claim from for the debt back in 2018. We went through mediation, they didn't have any evidence at the time and I was told it would go to court. 

 

Link to old thread - 

 

Needless to say nothing was ever heard from for years and I forgot all about it. 

 

Today, I received a General Form of Judgement or Order. It read as follows

 

Before Deputy District Judge Wiggins...

 

It is Ordered that

1. Documents Filed 39 November 2018 must be served on the Defendant and a certificate of service filed.

 

Pursuant to CPR Rule 3.3/Rule 23.8 of the CPR 1998,  then the standard if you object to this order.

 

I have no idea what has happened, what has gone on and I have received nothing since the mediation in October 2018.

  • AndyOrch changed the title to Lowell Claim (old) Statue Barred.

Dates 19 Jan 2021

 

Rang the court, they said it was delayed and not transferred to them locally until last year and then Lowell chased them to process it and continue.  However I am really puzzled as if it went to court, should I not have received a Directions Form to complete?

Nothing has been served since mediation. However when you read it it seems that they are to service it on me rather than prove the served it. There is also to time constraint on the order. 

 

The court stated that the matter was never referred to a DJ, Lowell must have complained and had it referred, Portsmouth CC had the claim sitting around since last year 2020 somewhen, but I was confused as to what happened to it before. 

 

I've uploaded it redacted.

No the order states quite clearly " Documents Filed 39 November 2018 must be served on the Defendant and a certificate of service filed "

 

Your initial defence put them to strict proof to disclose the documents you would have requested within your defence. If you have never received the documents then the claimant has not complied with the above order...and you must inform the court same.

 

You don't want a DQ yet as you don't want it to proceed to allocation until they comply with the above order.

Thanks for the prompt reply, I believe I was reading it differently to you then - So what you are stating is that Lowell have to prove the documents they filed with the court on the 29.Nov.2019 were indeed also served on me?

 

I would also ask - do they have to do this within a period of time? I read back this post ( I am still looking for my paperwork that I archived on this matter). It seems we did complete an AQ and that's why it went to mediation initially. 

 

What should I do at this stage?

Well this is where the confusion sets in.......did they get that order in 2018 ?    Did they file the documents with the court ?

If they didn't there is no amended new date on the order that they should comply with the order.

 

So you have an old Order with a new date...which in respect tells you nothing.

 

Reading between the lines looks like Portsmouth County Court is in meltdown hence all the errors.

You stated you submitted a DQ but it was never processed to the N57 Notice of Allocation...so mediation then nothing.

SO if you refer to the bottom of the order you have the option to set it a side vary or stay it...but involves an application and fee...so I would suggest you get back onto Portsmouth and ask what exactly is the Order for ?

 

Inform them they have not served any documents on yourself or served a Certificate of service and given the errors of MCOL/ Portsmouth ask the court to clarify exactly what's happening in the claim.

We could do with some help from you.

I found my file, so....

 

Date: 28.August.2018 a notice was given by the court for allocation to the small claims track and mediation

 

26.10.2020 another court document stated that there was a transfer of proceeding to Portsmouth CC from CCBC

 

Looking at the defence (that I was recommended to issue here) they never sent any documents.  I will call the court again and ask if another order was sent that I didn't receive.
