    • Thanks for that. I will give them till Tuesday. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. 
    • 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 Caro, I am to attend court on Monday at 12.00pm, I will spend some time tomorrow looking up what you have mentioned, we do not have any hardship that can be used in the application to have a stay removed (none that I am aware of), but I have to admit that I have been away on holiday and have not kept abreast of the latest information, also I have a fairly limited knowledge on the legal issues, any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

I have still not heard anything from YB or the court, I do not expect to come away from this with good news, but I will definately fight my corner, now I just need to get myself ready over the weekend and do my homework so I can put up a good fight if I need to. I will let everyone know the outcome next week - fingers crossed!! By the way if anyone has any tips or material for me to read up on I would be really appreciative.

Thanks Caro for your help, I will spend this evening going over my bundle again. I have my application for a removal of stay ready, I am now ready to go to court tomorrow. I have to confess to feeling that I am wasting my time as I believe that YB will apply for the stay and that will be the end of it, still I shall appear and fight the corner, if not for me, then for others who are fighting YB. I need some good luck vibes now, I will post after the hearing and let you all know how it went.

HELP A LAST MINUTE QUESTION

 

I am in court today at 12.00pm, I am now ready to do battle , have been reading up over the weekend and think I am armed with the necessary ammunition, all I need now is a sympathetic judge, just one quick question, I am there to represent my husband who cannot take time off to be there, he was off sick last week and doesn't get paid, so we simply cannot afford to lose any more money, will the judge object to this, do I need to have a letter with me to give his authority to represent him????

 

Quick update, rang court and was told to bring a letter signed by my husband to say I would be representing him, so no need to reply to my last question, thanks anyway..

not sure if anyone can advise on this one, i issued judgement by default as the YB claimed to be issueing a defence and never did, i gave them 14 days to pay full amount(rather kind i thought) any way nothing happened, left it another 5 days still nothing, then received a letter from YB solicitors stating"due to admin error the judgement was missed and would i GIVE my consent to them applying for a stay" well certainly not, i have now issued a warrant for recovery of funds. anyone know what my chances are????

  • 2 weeks later...

I am soooo sorry you guys, I swear I posted the day after the hearing but it didn't go on, the other frustrating thing is that I didn't get any messages in my mail to let me know that you lot were asking me how it went. I actually thought that no-one cared, I just came on now to see how you lot are doing with your battles and am pretty upset to see that you have been posting and I didn't know. Well anyway, my case was stayed, I objected to the stay and had my application for removal looked at, however they YB representative opposed my application using the fact that it was not an impeachment under the human rights act as the case was likely to be settled by the high court in the early part of next year. It was pretty much a closed case before I walked into the court room and I have to say I thought the whole thing was a bit of a farce, the judge has ordered YB to advise the court about how they intend to deal with my claim within 3 weeks of the outcome of the test case, but all in all I came away feeling as if YB had won, not the result I wanted.

Maybe not the result you wanted yet, but it's not really over. I have to say though that I can't see this being settled early next year, by the time appeals are heard etc. Very disappointing but typical at the moment.

Yes I know, I have come to terms with it now, but at the time I was divided between feeling gutted and really really angry, getting so close to the finish line, only to have it pulled another 100yards ahead again....lol

2 years ago I expect you never dreamt you'd get any money back, so you haven't really lost much. No-one could ever be 100% sure of getting anything back, and anything we all get back is really a bonus. That's the way I see it anyway.

Yeah I know what you mean, but at this moment in time, I can't help wishing I had banked their cheque for £1100 when it came, still it was a gamble and I knew that, mind you the battle isn't over yet, hopefully something positive will come out of the test case and justice will finally win the day, the banks have called the shots for way too long, time for the tide to turn I think!

Nice to hear from you again welshlass - sorry things didn't turn out better for you, take a bit of comfort knowing that most of us are now in the same boat even though it feels like the TITANIC at the moment. It is just disgusting the way the courts are treating people, I feel we have been stitched up like a kipper while the banks remain unfettered to carry on as normal and now DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO LOOK INTO ANY COMPLAINT. Surely the courts can not begin to think that is right, oh well we live in hope and await the outcome of the OFT farce. :rolleyes:
