    • 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.

Hello,

 

I have an old debt bank loan from back in 2008 which I defaulted on and was passed on to a debt collection agency back then and I agreed a token payment of £1 per month which I have continued to pay since.

 

Today I have had a letter from a new collection agency stating they have taken the debt on but have not had contact to verify this from the previous one and continue to pay them the £1 per month. This fell off my credit file back in 2014/15 and have continued paying the token payment.

 

I have never been issued with a ccj on this and my question is can this new debt collection agency give me a ccj on this debt after all of this time?

Of course by paying a pound a month, you have kept the enforceability of the debt alive stop

If you've been paying a pound per month all this time then either there was an explicit agreement or one could certainly say there was an agreement and so the new debt owners have basically bought the debt under its existing terms which would include accepting that you are going to pay a pound a month. Of course if you broke the instalment scheme anyway, this would give them a basis for moving in and trying to get a CC J.
I expect that my site team colleague @dx100uk will be along soon to give you much better advice.

What type of Bank loan ?

 

When you defaulted with the Bank, how much did you owe approx ?

 

Who did you agree the £1 token payment arrangement with ?  Is this the last DCA you were dealing with, before the debt was transfered to a new DCA

 

Which DCA's have been involved ?    There are many DCA's who have the same parent company owners and also there have been many DCA's bought out by new owners who have taken on the debts.

 

What is the current debt balance approx ?

 

Was there ever a period, when you did not make any payments towards the debt ?

We could do with some help from you.

It was for an HSBC personal bank loan of 20k Was passed onto metropolitan collection services which agreed the £1 payment plan and have paid them every month since and they have left me alone. The new DCA is moorcroft and balance is still roughly them same. 

I have always paid the agreed £1 as if I got a ccj I would lose my job.

  • dx100uk changed the title to HSBC £20K Loans, been paying £1pcm since 2008 to MCS, now moorcroft want the £1pcm.Old debt from 2008

Metropolitan collection services appear to be part of HSBC and Moorcroft work with many Banks to continue the collection activities, once the Bank no longer wishes to do the administration.

 

I suspect therefore that HSBC still own the debt ? Does the Moorcroft letter confirm this ?

 

For the £12 a year you are paying, I am not sure it is worth mucking around too much.

We could do with some help from you.

as pointed out the met were HSBC's fake internal DCA and banks latterly actually got reprimanded by the regulatory authorities for pretending to be a dca when customers phoned up.

 

moorcroft don't buy debts - so are collecting for their stated client, which will be listed at the top of their letter.

 

NO DCA can 'give you a CCJ' 

only the debt owner can issue a court claim to TRY and get a CCJ, they have to abide by the pre-action protocol and issue a letter of claim 1st - but you'd reply and most probably win hands down.

 

whoever told you or lead you to believe a DCA has superpowers wants shooting, though it could of been your own error by p'haps ringing the DCA and getting scammed on the phone back in 2008? ...looks like it to me.

 

a DCA is NOT A BAILIFF

and have 

ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter what it's type.

 

all you've done since 2008 is run the statute barred date to infinity.

 

time to wise up....

Yes the letter states they have taking over just the collection of the debt.

Have no intention of stopping my token payment as this will probably cause me more problems in the long run then as definitely do not want a ccj. I just wanted to know if after all this time of paying the token payment the likelihood of them attempting to give me one when I continue to pay a token payment each month.

original creditors (the Banks) don't do court, so since 2008 you've been paying £1PCM simply running the statute barred date into infinity, which means you will never be rid off this debt, simply because of some silly myth you read somewhere about CCJ's.

 

now what is a shame too is the longer this has gone on, the more difficult information about the debt becomes, like WHY have HSBC not sold it on to a debt buying DCA, who's eyes will light up when they see this balance and pull every scam in their book to make you pay it, including the threat of court.

 

get an SAR off to HSBC and it might also pay you to send them a CCA request, cause it could be no signed agreement exists,, and if so, thge debt is unenforceable and is dead.
