    • This is a ridiculous situation.  The lender has made so many stupid errors of judgement.  I refuse to bow down and willingly 'pay' for their mistakes.  I really want to put this behind me and move on.  I can't yet.

    • ae - i have no funds to appoint lawyers.   My point about most caggers getting lost is simply due to so many layers of legal issues that is bound to confuse.  
    • Lenders have a legal obligation to sell the property for the best price they can get. If they feel the offer is low they won't sell it, because it's likely the borrower will say the same.   Yes.  But every interested buyer was offering within a range - based on local market sales evidence.  Shelter site says a lender is not allowed to wait for the market to improve. Why serve a dilapidations notice? If it's in the terms of the lease to maintain the property to a good standard, then serve an S146 notice instead as it's a clear breach of the lease.   The dilapidations notice was a legal first step.  Freeholders have to give time to leaseholders to remedy.  Lender lawyers advised the property was going to be sold and the new buyer would undertake the work.  Their missive came shortly before contracts were given to buyer.  The buyer lawyer and freehold lawyers were then in contact.  The issue of dilapidations remedy was discussed..  But then lender reneged.  There was a few months where neither I nor freeholders were sure what was going on.  Then suddenly demolition works started.   Before one issues a s146 one has to issue a LBA.  That is eventually what happened. ...legal battle took 3y to resolve. Again, order them to revert it as they didn't have permission to do the works, or else serve an S146 notice for breach of the lease   A s146 was served.  It took 3y but the parties came to a settlement.   (They couldn't revert as they had ripped out irreplaceable historical features). The lease has already been extended once so they have no right to another extension. It seems pretty easy to just get the lawyer to say no and stick by those terms as the law is on your side there.  That's not the case   One can ask for another extension.  In this instance the freeholders eventually agreed with a proviso for the receiver not to serve another. You wouldn't vary a lease through a lease extension.  Correct.  But receiver lawyer was an idiot.   He made so many errors.  No idea why the receiver instructed him?  He used to work for lender lawyers. I belatedly discovered he was sacked for dishonesty and fined a huge sum by the sra  (though kept his licence).  He eventually joined another firm and the receiver bizarrely chose him to handle the extension.  Again he messed up - which is why the matter still hasn't been properly concluded.   In reality, its quite clear the lender/ receiver were just trying to overwhelm me (as trustee and leaseholder) with work (and costs) due to so many legal  issues.  Also they tried to twist things (as lawyers sometimes do).  They tried to create a situation where the freeholders would get a wasted costs order - the intent was to bankrupt the freeholders so they could grab the fh that way.   That didn't happen.  They are still trying though.  They owe the freeholders legal costs (s60) and are refusing to pay.  They are trying to get the freeholders to refer the matter to the tribunal - simply to incur more costs (the freeholders don't want and cant's afford to incur)  Enfranchisement isn't something that can be "voided", it's in the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 that leaseholders have the right to.... The property does not qualify under 67 Act.  Their notice was invalid and voided. B petition was struck out. So this is dealt with then.  That action was dealt with yes.   But they then issued a new claim out of a different random court - which I'm still dealing with alone.  This is where I have issues with my old lawyer. He failed to read important legal docs  (which I kept emailing and asking if he was dealing with) and  also didn't deal with something crucial I pointed out.  This lawyer had the lender in a corner and he did not act. Evidence shows lender and receiver strategy had been ....  Redact and scan said evidence up for others to look at?   I could.  But the evidence is clear cut.  Receiver email to lender and lender lawyer: "our strategy for many months  has been for ceo to get the property".  A lender is not allowed to influence the receivership.   They clearly were.  And the law firm were complicit.  The same firm representing the lender and the ceo in his personal capacity - conflict of interest?   I  also have evidence of the lender trying to pay a buyer to walk.  I was never supposed to know about this.  But I was given copies of messages from the receiver "I need to see you face to face, these things are best not put in writing".  No need to divulge all here.  But in hindsight it's clear the lender/ receiver tried - via 2 meetings - to get rid of this buyer (pay large £s) to clear the path for the ceo.   One thing I need to clarify - if a receiver tells a lender to do - or not to do - something should the lender comply? 
    • Why ask for advice if you think it's too complex for the forum members to understand? You'd be better engaging a lawyer. Make sure he has understood all the implications. Stick with his advice. If it doesn't conform to your preconceived opinion then pause and consider whether maybe he's right.

    • 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 don't quite know. They updated the forum and then suddenly the sigs stopped working. Not too sure. Mine does on some posts but not on others :confused:

Quick Update:

 

Recieved a letter from Chester in regards to my credit card dated 2nd Jan.

I am to be sent a full response by 23rd Jan - 6 days before the 40 days are up. Cutting it a little fine.

 

Nothing regarding my bank account.

Another Update:

 

Now I think that this maybe my fault, but I've received a letter today in regards to my bank account and my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) payment back.

 

I've received a letter today - 9 days before the information is due - they are unable to process my SAR as the account is closed and I've subsequently moved address so they will only send to the registered address on the account unless they receive proof of my address.

 

I can do this and send it back to them today, but does this means the 40 days starts again, or do they have the 9 remaining days?

 

 

Pete

You have not supplied them with the information required and that means until they have this they need not supply, remember they must verify you are who you say for security, send them proof of your address and they will deal with it hopefully quicker than the 40 days required but they may now stall and take a further 40 days. Read up some threads relevant to your claim whilst waiting on these, good luck

Dammit - I thought that would be the case.

 

Just funny how it took them so long to notify me of the fact when then got my letter a month ago - I get the feeling this will be a LONG one.

Interesting.

 

I've had a breakdown from Oct 2001-2004 in what looks like Excel format in regards to my Abbey Credit card - About £500 in charges.

 

They stated that this is not a full S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) and as such it's been provided FOC - yet they were happy to send this to me without any ID verfication?

 

It does state that if I required a full SAR that I need to send the enclosed form back with £10 payment and suitable ID.

 

 

Edit: Confusion sorted - This is from MBNA, not Abbey as my account goes further back than this and 2001 is when MBNA took over the account.

Even more interesting.

 

I've had a letter from Abbey this morning. It includes the same statement details as I got from MBNA.

 

However, this includes a letter..... charge are as agreed....and are deemed lawful... "MBNA disagrees with the OFT's interpretation of the law"..... charges dropped from June to £12........... however here is a goodwill cheque for £135 as settlement of the above matter.

 

Abbey now trying to fob you off with payment at the SAR stage????

Hi Pete,

 

I had a GOGW at point of SAR, and then heard nothing more until I took them to court! :)

 

My husband had full settlement offered at SAR (well they paid it into the account!). :o

 

They know they are in trouble... I don't understand why they don't just mass pay back all charges owed to EVERYONE over the last 6 years LMAO!!! :D

 

OK - maybe I do :cool:

Well I'm sorry but I'm not rolling over for £135.

OK - quick question.

 

As I've not even had my SAR fulfilled should I cash the cheque and remove that from my preliminary letter, not cash it and remove it from my preliminary letter, or return it with a thanks but no thanks.

Don't blame you!

 

Cash the cheque and enjoy it :D

 

Add in the paragraph about 'Thanks for the money... but I want the rest blah blah blah...' to your prelim letter and send as soon as the 40 day deadline has elapsed!

 

Take the GOGW amount from the most recent charges on your spread sheet which allow it all to tie up and bob's you uncle :)

GAH!!!!

 

When Abbey refused my SAR on the grounds that my address is now different they asked for proof of my address (current utility bill, driving license) which I duly sent as requested.

 

It's been rejected agin saying I need to fill in a change of address form first. There was now mention of this in the first rejection and I complied with their request.

 

Do I play along with their attempts to slow things down or do I just wait now as I did as they asked in the first place?

I wasn't expecting this.

 

A VERY large envelope arrived from MBNA today.

It's the outcome of my SAR and it appears to include EVERYTHING they have on the account, including screen shots hows the account of various system screens and print outs from various other systems which to a non-employee are plain jibberish.

 

Took them long enough!!!
