    • 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've already sent in harassment complaints about Meritforce to the ICO, OFT and Trading Standards because they keep bombarding me with letters about a debt that was fully repaid to another DCA over a year ago even though I have sent them evidence of this.

 

I have just got back to my parents' house after a few days away to be informed by my Dad that there's a message on the answerphone for me that I really need to listen to NOW...

 

I am absolutely gobsmacked at what I heard - remember, this is my parents' answerphone and it's just got the generic 'sorry, no-one is here to take your call, please leave a message' blurb that was on it when bought so they had no idea who would hear the message.

 

What follows is an absolutely accurate transcription of the message and any advice about what I should do after this surely illegal message would be welcome.

 

Hi there, this is a message for a Miss X, erm, its Meritforce Limited calling here. Er, you need to give us a call obviously regarding this huge er, er debt that you have.

 

Er, now you said that you sent some proof in but all we’ve had is erm, we haven’t had actually any like headed proof off the, off the company you sent it to. Er, we have down here that you have obviously when you’ve paid and what dates but it’s just obviously well something that you’ve writ (sic) yourself, so I mean, what we need to do, is we need the actual proof off who you sent it to at the time and if they sent you a settlement letter back saying the account was settled.

 

Er, if you could do that as soon as possible, if not you can call and discuss the matter on 0191 228 2297. Again, your reference number you need to quote is XXXXXXX thank you.

Hello, I would keep that message safe, turn the tape over until you can get a new one, DO NOT ERASE IT.

 

Someone with more knowledge will be along soon to advise next course of action, good luck.

It's a digital machine and I have no idea if one of the parents will erase it by mistake so I have taken the precaution of transferring it to my mobile using the voice recorder function. That is one that won't get deleted.

EOMT, you need to transfer this message onto a tape format that can be posted with a letter of complain to ICO. This is serious stuff!

 

You then need to write a letter of complaint to the DCA informing them of the Data Protection Breach and that it has been forwarded to the ICO. If you need help with the letter, give me a shout.

I would be sending them a request underthe DPA sar and requesting all the infomration they hold and also the Deed of Assignment. if they don't produce in the time limits I would be taking them to Court for non-complianc e and let them explain the lot to the judge.

 

I would also be be writing a letter to them placing whatever they think is an account you owe is in Dispute and that you do not acknowledge any debt to them.

 

Send another letter of Harrassment to them under seperate cover and that they are not to ring your parent's telephone number otherwise this will also result in court action for damages.

 

Send all letters by recorded delivery and sit back.

 

Check the library for the template letters and change them to suit your circumstancesm but keep stressing that you do not acknowledge any debt that they claim you owe.

 

I would also notify the OFT about this together with the TS, for what it is worth.

 

Ring the ICO and remind them that you have already lodged a complaint

My local trading standards office contacted me about the complaint I had sent them to check if I was happy for them to pass the complaint on to the TS office for Newcastle - needless to say, I agreed.

 

I also told the very helpful young lady about the answerphone message and she agreed that it was bang out of order and advised me to contact not just the ICO but also the Financial Ombudsman Service about this one because they are now handling consumer credit complaints (since April 6th this year) and have the power to charge DCAs £400 for each and every complaint they have to investigate. She also mentioned that apparently the DCAs are up in arms about this but also said that if they didn't give their customers cause for complaint then they wouldn't get charged for it... wise words.

The Financial Ombudsman site is Financial Ombudsman Service

 

I also couldn't help myself - I Googled Meritfarce and right there, large as life on their home page Meritforce Limited is this statement "Meritforce complies with and fully supports the Credit Services Association's code of practice. In addition all staff operate at all times in accordance with the latest Office of Fair Trading guidelines and the Data Protection Act." Laugh? I nearly fell off my chair!

 

I now have to try to figure out how the heck I get a recording of the (digital) answerphone message onto something I can send to the ICO and FOS. Any suggestions?

Ignore what the muppets say about the Credit Services Association - thst's just a club for debt collectors to boast about what they can get away with. A complaint to them is a waste of time.

 

Its a very good idea to bring in the FOS but you must follow their rules which is to exhaust Meritfarce's complaints procedure first. They must have one. If they ignore it then you can go to the FOS but you must try.

 

Its a shame really - up until last year Meritfarce were quite well regarded as door-to-door collectors in their natve north-eat. Then they were taken over by Mucenzie Hall and its all gone pear shaped.

You say you've got is as a voice recording on your mobile. It may save that as an MP3 which you can transfer to your PC. Or it may save it as a voice file which only your phone can play.

 

Do you have (or can you borrow) an old-fashioned tape recorder? That would be a simple way of making a copy.

 

Alternatively if you have a microphone for your PC (they're only a couple of quid) you can make a recording through your soundcard, which you could burn onto a CD. There's plenty of free recording software, I use Free Sound Recorder Software Download which is a bis basic but fine for voice recordings.

 

But whatever you do, don't lose the original! :D

 

Feel free to PM if you need any help :)

Thanks DJDave, I've looked at the file on my phone and it has saved it as a .amr file so I guess that's going to be a Nokia only thing. I'm off out and about today and will see if I can pick up a microphone for the lappy.

 

As for the original, my parents are under strict instructions not to delete it!

Hi Nailpost, I am still going to make a complaint to the FSO as advised by my local Trading Standards this week because it's for a breach of the DPA and I was told that this is now under their jurisdiction.

Update: the nice helpful person at my local Trading Standards office has given me the contact details for Peter Skevington at Newcastle TS. She spoke to him about my complaint and told me that he's said he'll talk to Meritfarce on my behalf or may even visit them. I just have to ring him to give him the go ahead.

 

I left him a voicemail today and hope to speak to him tomorrow.

 

Thanks also to DJDave - I have got the answerphone message on my laptop now as an MP3 so can either e-mail the file to Mr Skevington if he wants me to or can post CDs with it on to him, the Information Commissioners Office and the FSO :D

 

Meritfarce have sent yet another letter since all this threatening me with a home visit if I don't pay up. They are lucky that Newcastle is a long way away or I might have been tempted to pay them a little visit ;)

Further update: I spoke to Peter Skevington and he asked me to send him the transcript of the phone message so that he could take that plus the copies of my letters that my local TS office had forwarded on to him along with him when he went to visit Meritfarce on my behalf.

 

While on the phone he said that the Newcastle TS office had really not had very many complaints about Meritfarce and that given the nature of their business they seem to be fairly well regarded. However, he was most interested when I told him that I seemed to recall reading somewhere (here!) that they'd recently been taken over by Mackenzie Hall and commented that he'd had cause to look at them on occasion and that he very much hoped that Meritfarce were not going to adopt MH's less than desirable practices!

 

I've now had a letter from him saying that he had discussed the situation with one of Meritfarce's directors who had requested copies of my letters and the mesage transcript and would investigate. I have been asked to let Mr Skevington know if Meritfarce contact me again and he'll let me know when they get back to him.

Glad to hear the evidence has been safely moved to a secure location.

 

I'm slightly concerned at the TS's statement they are surprised at Meritforce's given they are well-regarded. I know of a policeman who was well-regarded until his colleagues found out what he'd been up to in a flat with a small child.

 

So he's had cause to look at Mackenzie Hall on occasion - what has he and his colleagues up and down the country done to slap these vermin down and amend their "less than desirable practices"?

 

You should still report the company to the Office of Fair Trading, the Information Commissioner and the Financial Services Ombusman.
