    • 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!! 
    • 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.

Hi All

 

Received an email today to call Opus with a case number to discuss a personal matter, if I am the person that they are looking for?  They have my email address from somewhere and are using a surname I stopped using years ago.

 

I sent a CCA request to a previous company in 2019 for an alleged debt but no information was forthcoming and it was put on hold, assuming its in relation to this.

 

Should I call them or respond by email. 

 

Do I need to send another CCA request to this company?

 

Any advice would be appreciated, feeling rather worried at the moment.

 

Thank you.

if you sent a cca request and it had you current and correct address on it and you have not moved since then you are safe to ignore totally

 

and ofcourse by routine you should be ignoring all emails/txt/phonecalls from ANY DCA.

 

they are not bailiffs and have 

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

Thank you for your response.

 

I actually have no idea what its for, as they haven't given me any details. It looks like a fishing exercise.  I'm guessing its an alleged credit card taken out in the 1990's, and loan debt, taken out around 2002.

 

The accounts were sold by assignment to a DCA in 2009 and I was making token payments until 2019 when I  sent the DCA requests.

 

It came off my credit file in 2019, when they couldn't locate any paperwork. I will have to check my credit file again tomorrow but assume that they can't just add it back on.

 

I can remember the bully boy tactics at the time by the DCA, constant phone calls, letters and threats and  just want to get straight what I need to do now.

 

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your reply but they haven't given me any information, they want me to confirm my name with them.  The loan was with Liverpool Victoria and the credit card with CSMA, I'm guessing that its this.

 

Do I contact them and advise about the CCA request, but realise as I didn't update my address with the last DCA that things could have changed.

Capquest was the  first DCA, who I sent the CCA request to, they said account was on hold while they tried to get the paperwork, I hadn't had a reply in 6 months and then I moved.

 

The new DCA  are asking me to confirm my name, the alleged debts are in a old name that I don't use and haven't for years, do I just confirm my legal name now and ignore the question? 

 

Sorry for all the questions, just getting really stressed by it all and thanks for your help.

Nope a debt can't be assigned twice by the original creditor 

 

Once sold and you've had a notice of assignment from oc/buyer that's it 

 

Now is the buyer could sell a debt on again but you get another notice of assignment.

 

So have you those

I have the notice of assignment from the original creditor, from 2009 where it also states that LV were closing their bank, sating the alleged debts were being sold to Capquest.

 

I can't find anything from Capquest but in all their letters they state debt purchased from Liverpool Victoria.

 

So I assume that I write to Capquest about my new address and not OPOS or both?

Well whomever owns your two debts, you must write giving your correct address else you are in danger of backdoor CCJ 's using an old address.

 

and thats most probably what this phishing exercise is about.

  • 4 weeks later...

I've now had a reply from Capquest, Opus are now dealing this matter. I sent a CCA request in March 2019 to Capquest, which they acknowledged and sent a few holding letters, but were unable to provide any details of this alleged debt. I hadn't had any details in the post about this matter for 9 months, then I moved.

 

Do I just write advising that I  haven't had any details about this alleged debt since the CCA request and see what they say?
