    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • Ok thanks for that, well spotted and all duly noted. Yes they did eventually submit those docs to me after a second letter advising them I was contacting the ICO to make a formal complaint for failing to comply with an earlier SAR that they brushed off as an "administrative error" or something. When I sent the letter telling them I was in contact with the information commissioner to lodge the complaint, the original PCN etc quickly followed along with their excuse!
    • its not about the migrants .. Barrister Helena Kennedy warns that the Conservatives will use their victory over Rwanda to dismantle the law that protects our human rights here in the UK.   Angela Rayner made fun of Rishi Sunak’s height in a fiery exchange at Prime Minister’s Questions, which prompted Joe Murphy to ask: just how low will Labour go? .. well .. not as low as sunak 
    • 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!!

    • 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.

I wonder if someone can help me

- Ive got a interest only mortgage with GE MONEY which has been in arrears but OK now.

 

Over last few years have had a few payment arrangements with them and as a result they have added lots of £40.00 admin fees.

I think these add to over £2500 throughout my hardship.

I just wanted to check that was all above board, seems a bit harsh in times of hardship that they actually made more money out of me.

 

Any advice as always is appeciated!:-)

Thanks 42man thats great,

 

Im not sure that I have got all the letters still with the notifications of admin charges

 

should i write to them and ask them for a statement of account since i started the mortgage?

 

Would that be the right thing to do?

 

thanks for your help!

OK great thanks Ims21 - im feel slightly nervous about doing this as I had a suspended repossesion order on the house when i had to go to court some years ago, I suppose im worried i might annoy them and they might try and take the house away from me if i start demanding charges back. Is this something i should not be worrying about?

 

Is there a template letter on here that i can use for them?

 

CHEERS IMS21

Got it thanks ims i didnt know about the star thing!

I have donated whenever i have had help but ill have to go back and add stars now! :)

 

Ive been having a read through the stickies this afternoon and found that I am certain the charges they have made have been unfair and also that perhaps they were a little hasty in taking me to court.

 

I dont know much about a suspended reposession order but do they only last for a certain amount of time

- would it have expired by now or do they last for as long as the mortgage term? I

think the court case took place around 5 years ago.

There doesnt seem to be any paperwork relating to the court case/repossesion order in the SAR.

 

Im just worrying that if i start rocking the boat they might decide to proceed with the order or something like that.

 

So far i have added up about £2500.00 worth of arrears admin charges.

 

Cheers

The SPO (Suspended Possession Order) remains in place until you have completed the order made by the court. After that you can apply for the SPO to be removed. Much depends on what the SPO was granted for, what the terms were that the court set and whether you have kept to or completed the order made by the court.

Ive just got a letter from GE Money saying;

 

"Following a review of your account your monthgly instalment has increased to 393.73 with effect from 30th december 2012.

We have made this change to include repayment of your fee balance of 2436.63.

Should all payments be received, these fees will be paid over the remaining term of your loan.

If your account is up to date you have the option of making additional payments towards the balance of fees and charges or to clear them completely if you wish". etc

 

Just wondering what i should do if anything, not sure what to do next!:???:

Hi ims21,

I was just wondering if you could possibly point me in the right direction with this,

I dont know whether i should be issuing a claim to them or not,

I dont want to rub them up the wrong way.

 

Im out of arrears and up to date with payments currently,

I received a letter from them recently advising me of the increase in my monthly installment to include repayment of all the admin charges

- but if they have charged me wrongly then i guess it would be good to see some money back !

 

can anyone help thank you

Hi

 

Sorry you were missed.

 

So have you completed your spreadsheet?

 

Your first step would be to approach GE with a request for a refund of the charges and the associated interest.

 

Here is a template letter you can adapt for this purpose
