    • 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.

    • 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.

    • 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 there

I fell into arrears with my second mortgage back in 2012 & the lender got a suspended possession order.

Since then I have made repayments on the account but not regularly due to my circumstances but I have always spoken to them so they are aware.

I have only made one payment in 2023 with various health issues & a reduced salary but haven’t spoken to them.


I called them today as they have sent me through a letter advising they are applying for a warrant of possession to talk to them about a repayment pla, n to be told that they are proceeding with litigation so to get a solicitor.

I really need some advice on next steps or who to speak to as don’t know what to do.

can anyone please help?

You need to tell us something about the values involved.

I'm afraid that failing on a scheme of regular payments and certainly not talking to the creditor is a very bad idea – but you probably realise this now.

Under the things that you can do to help yourself is to start making some payments quickly. If you can make a lump-sum payment and then an undertaking that you will resume the instalments – then that will help. You need to do this in writing that you need to make the payment – even if they say they won't accept, make it anyway.

More information please

Hi there,  firstly you need to work out what you can afford to pay towards the arrears in addition to the normal monthly payment - if the lender does apply for a warrant of possession then the only action you can take is to defend by applying to the court for a hearing to suspend possession and you would need to have offered a payment plan that you are able to maintain.

We also need to know the following:

How much are the arrears?

How long has the mortgage left to run?

Is your primary mortgage up to date?

I can help you with a letter to the lender once you have worked out what you can offer and have answered the above questions.

Apologies for the lack of detail first time round. Bit of a panic post.

I owe £15,123 of a £45,000 loan that comes to an end on 28th Feb 2029.

I don’t actually know the amount of arrears. I asked for a statement today.

My repayment plan previously was £350 including around £33 towards the arrears which I offered today but they won’t negotiate. I’m not in a financial position to make a lump sum payment only monthly payments. 

My primary mortgage has 3 months arrears  on it. I only have 2 years remaining on it and it will be paid up to date. 
 

I realise I should have spoken to the lender once I couldn’t meet the payments but I stupidly buried my head in the sand. Won’t ever do that again.

Hi,   you should fill in the affixed budget sheet - it calculates as you complete it) - as you'll need to send it with your offer letter to the lender.  This will help your case if we have to defend in court as the judge will see you've made an effort to  come to an arrangement with the lender.

Let me know when you have completed it.

Are these mortgages in joint names or just yours ?

I have to go out this evening but will check back with you tomorrow.

Hi,  looking at your budget sheet how much can you afford to pay towards the arrears on the second mortgage in addition to the normal monthly payment?

Have you received confirmation of how much the arrears are?

Hi

At present it would only be £50 a month on top of the set monthly payment.

I still haven’t received the info I asked for from them regarding the arrears. I will look through my paperwork over the weekend to see if I can see the amount.

Morning

Is it worth making a DSAR to get the information I need regarding the arrears?

I'm getting nowhere with them by phone. They keep fobbing me off saying the full amount is the arrears & none of the recent correspondence gives me an amount.

Thanks

Hi, just wanted some advice on this topic. Since my last post I have been making payments to this account & agreed to make a lump sum payment. They agreed to hold the account until next week.

The post arrived today & I have received court papers for a January hearing from them. No mention of this at all in all the previous correspondence. Is this normal? What should I be doing?

I would appreciate some help & guidance as to my next steps.

Thanks
