    • From #38 where you wrote the following, all in the 3rd person so we don't know which party is you. When you sy it was your family home, was that before or after? " A FH split to create 2 Leasehold adjoining houses (terrace) FH remains under original ownership and 1 Leasehold house sold on 100y+ lease. . Freeholder resides in the other Leasehold house. The property was originally resided in as one house by Freeholder"
    • The property was our family home.  A fixed low rate btl/ development loan was given (last century!). It was derelict. Did it up/ was rented out for a while.  Then moved in/out over the years (mostly around school)  It was a mix of rental and family home. The ad-hoc rents covered the loan amply.  Nowadays  banks don't allow such a mix.  (I have written this before.) Problems started when the lease was extended and needed to re-mortgage to cover the expense.  Wanted another btl.  Got a tenant in situ. Was located elsewhere (work). A broker found a btl lender, they reneged.  Broker didn't find another btl loan.  The tenant was paying enough to cover the proposed annual btl mortgage in 4 months. The broker gave up trying to find another.  I ended up on a bridge and this disastrous path.  (I have raised previous issues about the broker) Not sure what you mean by 'split'.  The property was always leasehold with a separate freeholder  The freeholder eventually sold the fh to another entity by private agreement (the trust) but it's always been separate.  That's quite normal.  One can't merge titles - unless lease runs out/ is forfeited and new one is not created/ granted. The bridge lender had a special condition in loan offer - their own lawyer had to check title first.  Check that lease wasn't onerous and there was nothing that would affect good saleability.  The lawyer (that got sacked for dishonesty) signed off the loan on the basis the lease and title was good and clean.  The same law firm then tried to complain the lease clauses were onerous and the lease too short, even though the loan was to cover a 90y lease extension!! 
    • Northmonk forget what I said about your Notice to Hirer being the best I have seen . Though it  still may be  it is not good enough to comply with PoFA. Before looking at the NTH, we can look at the original Notice to Keeper. That is not compliant. First the period of parking as sated on their PCN is not actually the period of parking but a misstatement  since it is only the arrival and departure times of your vehicle. The parking period  is exactly that -ie the time youwere actually parked in a parking spot.  If you have to drive around to find a place to park the act of driving means that you couldn't have been parked at the same time. Likewise when you left the parking place and drove to the exit that could not be describes as parking either. So the first fail is  failing to specify the parking period. Section9 [2][a] In S9[2][f] the Act states  (ii)the creditor does not know both the name of the driver and a current address for service for the driver, the creditor will (if all the applicable conditions under this Schedule are met) have the right to recover from the keeper so much of that amount as remains unpaid; Your PCN fails to mention the words in parentheses despite Section 9 [2]starting by saying "The notice must—..." As the Notice to Keeper fails to comply with the Act,  it follows that the Notice to Hirer cannot be pursued as they couldn't get the NTH compliant. Even if the the NTH was adjudged  as not  being affected by the non compliance of the NTK, the Notice to Hirer is itself not compliant with the Act. Once again the PCN fails to get the parking period correct. That alone is enough to have the claim dismissed as the PCN fails to comply with PoFA. Second S14 [5] states " (5)The notice to Hirer must— (a)inform the hirer that by virtue of this paragraph any unpaid parking charges (being parking charges specified in the notice to keeper) may be recovered from the hirer; ON their NTH , NPE claim "The driver of the above vehicle is liable ........" when the driver is not liable at all, only the hirer is liable. The driver and the hirer may be different people, but with a NTH, only the hirer is liable so to demand the driver pay the charge  fails to comply with PoFA and so the NPE claim must fail. I seem to remember that you have confirmed you received a copy of the original PCN sent to  the Hire company plus copies of the contract you have with the Hire company and the agreement that you are responsible for breaches of the Law etc. If not then you can add those fails too.

    • 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, 

My name is Irmina and I found your website from a friend. 

I just wonder if someone could advise me with what to do. 

 

In 2017 I took an unsecured loan from Hitachi  finance for £16000. Total to repay was just over £19000.I am repaying this still without any interruption. 

 

In September 2021 I was forced by family circumstances to move back with family to my country which is Poland.

My husband found the job but I can't start any job at the moment as I'm going through spinal injury and rehabilitation might take over year before I can start any job. 

 

I still got £8000 to be repaid on this loan but we got to the point where we no longer can afford monthly repayments on that loan which is £330 a month.

My husband brings home equivalent of £1200 a month, which is enough to pay rent, food, and utilities. 

We are not thinking of coming back to Uk as our kids started school here. 

 

I would like to ask if someone could advise what would be the best way to approach Hitachi and telling them about our circumstances.

I must add this is causing a lot of stress and I never been in a situation like this before.

We have almost used up all our savings to keep the payments going but we no longer can afford paying this amount. 

 

I also can't see any change to our circumstances in the nearest future as wages in Poland are significantly lower and we don't know what to do. 

 

Any help or advise  would be much appreciated. 

I apologise for my english but this is not mine first language. 

 

Looking forward to hear from you and thank you. 

 

Irmina

Welcome to the forum Irmina.

 

Really you have answered your own concern by stating the following.

 

Quote

We are not thinking of coming back to Uk as our kids started school here. 

 

So its your choice to inform Hitachi and explain the above and your choice if you wish to to enter a repayment plan with them albeit at a much reduced monthly rate.They will default you and mark your UK credit file with the default irrespective whether you enter into a payment plan or not.

 

Your choice.

Hi. 

Thank you for your reply. 

 

To correctly understand your response, are you saying that when I'd inform them about the circumstances they might reduce my payment plan, but they will mark my credit file with it? 

What is the other choice? 

Not telling them entirely and just stop paying? Wouldn't that put me at risk to get court orders or something like that? 

Anyway in both scenarios my credit file would be affected in a same way? 

Sorry for silly questions but it's all new to me. 

I Appreciate your time and thank you again

Thank you again. 

 

It seems really risky not to inform the at all. 

 

How do we know they can't find me in another country.? I'm really scared to have problems with courts. I also no longer have a home address in Uk but I kept bank account. 

Would that be affected in any way?

Its very important that you inform them of your new location and that they stop using your UK address......at the very minimum you must inform of this even if you do not wish to enter into a repayment plan....you dont want them to issue court papers at a previous address....given that you still hold UK Bank accounts.

 

Should they manage to a get a CCJ without your knowledge ...they could possibly enforce the judgment by way of a Third Party Debt Order against your UK current accounts.

I'm holding the bank account but with zero funds on it. 

If I give them my new address then they will find me easily. 

I thought your first response was to stop paying them entirely without any notification. 

I think to be on the safe side I would need to call them and explain the situation. 

Personally I don't want them to know my Polish address. 

From what you're saying I gather that I can still be in trouble with the court. That is something I'm trying to avoid. 

I'm mega confused now. 

 

Thank you

That is not what has been said

you must ensure in writing that all your debt owners know you are resident adroad and have been for xxx years and will remain so.

 

there is nothing they can then really do to you then.

you must read posts carefully.

 

debt is not a crime!!

If there is nil funds then its not a problem.....but if they dont have your current address and they issue a court claim to your previous address you wont be aware of it and you will have a CCJ in the UK...not that that will be a problem to you as you are no longer a UK resident.

 

As for contacting them and agreeing a repayment as I said that your choice. No need to pass on your new address if your not intending to return to the UK

 

Read my post #2 again carefully.

Thank you. 

My mistake. 

Do you suggest to send them a letter with information that I've moved abroad? Or email or phone call would be enough? 

To me not being able to repay the debt feels like a crime. Never been in such situation but I've got to the point where I've simply ran out of any options. 

 

Can't thank you guys enough for all your advice.

As said earlier its your choice whether morally you wish to agree a repayment plan.....if you cant afford then so be it.

But notifying them of your new address as advantages :-

 

They know where you are...and cant state the opposite.

They cant issue a court claim to your previous address.

The new residents of your previous address will not be bombarded with paperwork or possibly bailiffs. You wouldn't want it at your new property for the previous residents.

 

And lets face it once they see  Poland its very unlikely they will issue a court claim.

I'll write the letter with explanation of why I'm stopping my repayments. 

I will only include the information that I've moved to Poland without providing my exact address. 

I'm pretty sure they will start sending me emails demanding repayments and providing exact address. 

I'm so afraid to start this whole process but I just cancelled my Direct debit so there's no way back. 

Hope this will end up without me getting into more troubles. 

Many thanks

Youll be in even more trouble if you dont do as advised.

simply write to hitachi and to hsbc stating only your correct address.

not why no pay etc. Do not hide. Nothing anyone can do debt is not a crime

 

Email/phone/texts can all be totally ignored.

If you don't provide your full address..then its a pointless exercise as your previous address will be legally valid for service of court papers.....you wont be aware of it and you will most probably end up with A UK CCJ.

 

Do as I have advised and that shuts the door on any court claim.

Do you guys think when I provide my exact address they won't sent letters and maybe bailiffs to my new address. i know Uk is no longer in EU but thay might still cooperate with such cases?

BAILIFFS???

 

no such thing outside uk. And they only come after you get a uk court ccj and dont pay it..so p'haps now you understand our advice about address telling = nevwr can have a ccj..out of uk jurisdiction.

 

and any stupid eu country dca are not bailiffs.

 

never seen an eu order enforced either. Costs too much money for such a small debt that theyll never get back

You might get letters but so what...cant send bailiffs without a judgment ...cant get a judgment as your outside our jurisdiction now.

Its not impossible for Hitachi to try and use  European Debt Collectors/ Court but as the agreement resolves to the UK  I doubt it would contain a clause of none exclusive jurisdiction....but you would have to check your agreement terms and conditions re default.
