    • I understand what you mean. But consider that part of the problem, and the frustration of those trying to help, is the way that questions are asked without context and without straight facts. A lot of effort was wasted discussing as a consumer issue before it was mentioned that the property was BTL. I don't think we have your history with this property. Were you the freehold owner prior to this split? Did you buy the leasehold of one half? From a family member? How was that funded (earlier loan?). How long ago was it split? Have either of the leasehold halves changed hands since? I'm wondering if the split and the leashold/freehold arrangements were set up in a way that was OK when everyone was everyone was connected. But a way that makes the leasehold virtually unsaleable to an unrelated party.
    • quite honestly id email shiply CEO with that crime ref number and state you will be taking this to court, for the full sum of your losses, if it is not resolved ASAP. should that be necessary then i WILL be naming Shiply as the defendant. this can be avoided should the information upon whom the courier was and their current new company contact details, as the present is simply LONDON VIRTUAL OFFICES  is a company registered there and there's a bunch of other invisible companies so clearly just a mail address   
    • If it doesn’t sell easily : what they can get at an auction becomes fair market price, which may not realise what you are hoping.
    • Thank you. The receiver issue is a rabbit hole I don't think I'm going to enjoy going down. These people seem so protected. And I don't understand how or why?  Fair market value seems to be ever shifting and contentious.

    • 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 , I have a Mortgage Current Account Reserve originally with Woolwich which was taken over by Barclays going back to 2005 /6  . I have 3 years and 7 months remaining on my Mortgage and was aware that the reserve would also need to be repaid in full at that stage . 

To my suprise i received a letter yesterday the 16th May ,  dated May 10th demanding the entire sum to be repaid by 20th May and the account to be closed. 

 

Am i able to challenge this decison and what is the procedure moving forward if i can not repay it . I believe this is charged against my property for security . 

 

Over the years they have gradually reduced my reserve amount and i have seen others on this forum compromised by Barclays action but not yet seen someone asked for the full amount , with such little notice . 

 

I have tried to reach Barclays on the number provided but they are unable to find the team that would deal with it and the letter is not recognised on their sytems . 

 

For what it is worth i have issued a SAR and CCA Request to try and slow the process in the absence of being able to speak to someone from Barclays . 

 

Any guidance moving forwards would be hugely appreciated . 

 

Many Thanks

A Mortgage Reserve is a secured overdraft facility on a Mortgage Current Account, where you borrow against the equity in your home. The Mortgage Current Account operates like a normal current account. You receive a chequebook, debit card and will also be able to set up standing orders and Direct Debits.

 

Mortgage Reserves are no longer available for new mortgage applications, although a number of existing customers will have a Mortgage Reserve as a part of their Mortgage Current Account. This Reserve must be repaid by the end of the mortgage term. A charge over your property will have been required as security.

My Mortgage is also with them so they have 1st charge on the property as expected and i would imagine this extends to the mortgage reserve / over draft .  My issue is a 4 day notice to repay in full when i had it expected it to fall due at the end of the mortgage term . 

What enforcement actions are they likely to take given i am not in a prosition to settle this now ? 

 

Thank You

or simply do nothing till the mortgage ends?

The proprietor of the Charge dated xxxxxxxxx 2006 referred to above is under an obligation to make further advances. These advances will have priority to the extent afforded by section 49(3) Land Registration Act 2002.

 

I just found this posted a year after the original charge

An update on the thread above . Today i have a letter from Litigators attached to Barclays they demand repayment of some normal mortage arrears which i can pay by the months end and in addition they demand repayment of the mortgage account reserve which is around £40k which i can not repay without time , i can sell an assett   , a second property but this will take time  in this climate .

Barclays did not respond to my SAR of May17th in relation to the above 2 accounts . I have sent a copy of the SAR via e-mail to the Litigators .

Any advice on how to buy time from them , there is 3 years 7 months remaining on my mortgage and i had planned to repay the mortgage account reserve at this time .

Many Thanks 

Andy
