    • 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.

Well the day just gets better.

 

Received a letter from lowell with other debts on...

5 separate debts but an offer of a 50% reduction...

 

.sky I've not had for almost 10 yrs,

and talk talk...I've never had talk talk.

 

Do I need to act upon these?

How can I prevent them going to ccj?

 

Thank you.

  • dx100uk changed the title to Lowell Discount letter - 4 merged debts sky, talk talk, Vodafone, o2

Hi, I'm guessing 5/6/7 years 

 

Just to add, none of these are from my current address, so I'm wondering how to act, 

 

I'm thinking they could possibly go down the backdoor ccj route,

 

read similar threads and the general consensus is to write to them and tell them my change of address (even though they know it for the discount letter)

that you must do to any debt you last used/paid within the last say 7 yrs if you've moved...always protect against backdoor CCJ's.

 

the discount letter is just another way to see if you respond, if you don't off to court as lowell often do with a backdoor CCJ for all the debts merged into one claim.

 

now if the fact that lowell (now) already know your correct address due to a running set aside is something i would not rely upon for the sake of a stamp.

 

it would be useful if you could ascertain if last payment was more than 6yrs as you could send our SB letter and kill 2 birds with one stone.

 

are any of these showing upon your credit file (use all 3 free providers not just one ).

Hi Lulu,

 

Update your address with lowell by post, do this right away.

 

Have you made payments to any of these accounts in the last 6 years?

Ok makes sense that lowells are acting now then, before they become statute barred.

 

Let's get the address updated - have you posted the letter yet? :) hehe

 

Just a few more questions for now:

Are all of these debts in England? as in, you lived in England when taking them out and still live in England?

Are lowels showing on your Credit file as the owners of the debt?

 

As the letter contained an offer, it's unlikely to be a Letter of Claim, but just to be sure, please describe the wording in the letter

Ok great, for the accounts not showing on Credit File, these are more than likely statute barred and lowell know this almost certainly.

 

So, as per dx's comment, backdoor CCJ's could be a risk, hence the urgency to update your address.

 

Other than the above, there's nothing to worry about here, send the letter and await their next move.

 

When they reply, come back here for next steps.

 

In the meantime, get to reading similar threads, you'll pick up how this is going to go :)

cant be sb'd if taken out in 2017,?

but why are they not showing,

smacks of dn being registered more than 6yrs ago, which would poss mean SB'd.

..or all your old addresses are not showing in linked addresses?

or they were never registered anyway. still doesn't mean = SB mind.

of the debts that show what are the defaulted dates?

paying and marking the files as 'partially satisfied' means nothing, a debt gets removed from your files on the defaulted dates 6th b'day, doesn't mean its not still owed mind... regardless of paying or not or paid or not. = con letter that resets the SB date for a further 6yrs and doesn't stop them chasing the rest.

its a phishing letter. 

copy the lowell letter

staple it to a simple letter that states:

i refer to your letter dated xxx (copy attached)

please note my correct address as above.

Hi dx, I think the sky and Vodafone are not showing as they are well over 6 years. All my addressed are there and present on my credit file.The other ones are from 2017, the default dates are, may, June and December 2017.

 

Hi bedtimes, thanks for the info, I'll send the letter tomorrow, yes I've been exhausting myself on similar threads. 

 

Really appreciate both your help 😀

Very welcome Lulu, I figured there was an element of statute barring in there as you had eluded to part of the lowell claim being very aged, but my intention was to figure that out after the simple stuff :)

 

You called me bedtimes, funny because that's a great idea! :D I'll be back on tomorrow evening after work

  • 1 year later...

This amount is for various individual debts, mobile phone, gas/electric/sky ...I think.

I did open a thread on this last year, but I'm unable to find it.

Is this a ccj?

As I never received a letter of claim, after my discussion on here last year I was awaiting the letter of claim before taking further action on challenging this.

Where do I go from here?

Do I contact Northants 🤔

I don't want to put my foot in it until I've got a bit of advice please.

Can anyone help?

Thanks Lucy

That is a CCJ yes.

Did you move and not inform creditors? Looks like from your post history you've had backdoor CCJs in the past

I'm sure @dx100uk will be here soon to help.

Hi, no I 100% wrote to them and advised of correct address, by recorded delivery. I did this because of the previous backdoor ccj. Thanks for responding and confirming its a ccj.

It does seem odd then that you've received the judgement but not the Letter of Claim

Quote

@lolerz Are you sure that it's Lowell that have obtained the judgement against you? Have you received any other correspondence from Lowell/Overdales?

I'm sure others will be able to advise in a better manner than me on this one.

Phone the court and ask what address the Claimform was sent to perhaps, if it was an address previous to the one you sent notification for, might be more options.

Good advice from my Site Team Colleague if you can prove they had your new address and it was sent to a previous then that is grounds for a Set a Side or possibly the judgment claimant may set it a side at their own cost.

Thanks all. Covid hit this household bad....

 

just spoke to Northampton bulk, he's emailed me particulars of claim

. Said claim WAS issued to correct address (I'll look over my paperwork as I'm unsure how/why I've missed this, I was awaiting this specifically,  to act upon it).

If you notice the POC just ends at "cost".......this was the same as the case I had with lowell/overdales last year (different ccj),

I'll look up my old thread.....anyway I've attached the poc. Thanks Lucy
