    • 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.

Hi all trying to help my cousin after her break up and trying to sort out her finances..

 

She has a barclaycard debt  Default Balance £3,619.00 

Account started 24/07/2015

Default Date 05/07/2019

Last payment made 38 months ago.

In the hands of link for around 18 months 

 

She has a vanquis debt Default Balance £3,372.00 

Account started 24/07/2015 

Default Date 31/01/2020

Last payment made 30 months ago.
In the hands of lowell   
 

SHOP DIRECT FINANCE COMPANY LTD Default Balance  £1,054.00  

Account started   11/11/2016

Default Balance  £1,054.00  

Default Date 30/03/2023

Last payment made 14 months ago.

Now in hands of lowell. Annoying 2 days after I tried to make a small payment in hope to stop it going to debt collectors.

 

My plan originally was to make a small payment to shop direct going forward monthly however now it’s gone to lowell. They have sent an email with both the vanquis and shop direct balance on. And I’m concerned if I try to pay the 1 they will take money off both and start the default date at a newer date on the older debt. 

The first 2 will be off credit report 2025/2026 but the newest one will be 2029. How would you advise I should I proceed? 
 

in the process of clearing 3 credit cards with a low balance which have not been defaulted as well and this should be finished and clear within 3 months

The one thing that matters most here,

 

Has your cousin move since taking the debt out? If so she needs to write to Lowell and Link by post advising them of her new address. 

 

Once she has done this, just ignore everything unless it's a letter before claim or a claimformIgnore all calls and emails. Do not pay them a penny

We could do with some help from you.

No she’s lived at same address for about 10 years.

 

There are debts to a water company too but I’m sorting them out. 
 

Facts are her and her partner have spilt he’s left her right in it. 
 

Shes working part time and now claiming uc. So things are getting there. She’s buried her head for the last year. I’ve aimed to clear the things that haven’t defaulted first. And are making more than the minimum repayment to those. So at least I can repair some of her credit rating it’s only 284 at the moment. But once her 2 credit cards are clear then I will be having her to spend a limited amount on 1 monthly and pay that straight off. 
 

I honestly thought I could make a small payment towards the shop direct so it wouldn’t end up in hands of debt collectors but that’s not to be. Plus that will now be on her file for 6 more years

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Don't pay a penny to the DCA at all, it won't make any difference to her credit rating and will spin out the statute barred date.  In a few years they will be Statute Barred and also off her Credit file.  Don't obsess about Credit Score either.

 

The main things are priority such as Rent, Council Tax, Food etc.  If she's on her own she can claim Council tax discount also

Nope, don't do anything, ignore anything they send you unless it's a letter before claim or a claimform. Then you come here for advice.

 

It's more than possible nothing will happen anyway, out of about 20 debts I had with DCA's only 4 ever went to a CCJ and that was only because I'd failed to inform them of my new address.

 

Ignore any calls or emails, but always read your post, just in case it's one of the above.
