    • 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.

Hi Again

 

Could somebody clear something up for me, in the particulars of claim:

 

c) The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year, from [date when the money became owed to you] to 14/06/2007 of £362.82 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £0.50.

 

The "date when the money became owed to you", is this the date of my first charge?

Thanks

Hi Guys

 

I filed my Claim at my Local county court (Bolton) on 14th June, Barclays Acknowledged my claim 4 days later on the 18th!!

 

Since they had till 2nd July to acknowledge the claim, does this mean that they have another 14 days from the 18th to file their defence or 14 days from 2nd July?

Are you sure that they acknowledge, or that they were served. Seems very quick.

 

Usual timescale

 

5 days to be deemed served

14 from date of service to acknowledge

28 days from date of service to enter defence

I got a letter from the court giving details of my claim, and when they had to acknowledge by and the day after i got another letter saying barclays had acknowledged my claim, it said something like the defendant intends to defend all the claim, and also gave the name and address of the people who filed the acknowledgment. I will double check when i get home, but am pretty sure.

They still have 28 days to defend from when the claim was deemed served no matter how quick they acknowledge. Dont forget though they often defend at the last minute or late (which they seem to get away with!!)

Hi Guys

 

Just panicking a little here,

 

I received an offer from Barclays £1715 (Original claim £2782), my claim is currently being processed in the courts. And they have acknowledged and have till 12th July to file a defence.

I am going on holiday on the 14th September, my local court have been very quick so far (i used the N1 route).

What in your experience would be the likelihood of barclays settling before i go on holiday, im just debating whether to take up their offer or not.

 

Many Thanks in advance.

It would all depend on when you would get a court date you say your court have been very quick upto now .... thats mainly because upto now things have to happen by a set time frame ... ie from you filing the claim its served to the defendant within 5 days ... Defendant must either defend within 14 days or acknowledge within 14 days to allow them a further 14 days to submit defence

 

It now depends on how busy your court is .......

Hi Again

 

Ive just called My local court, they state that id probably be around Oct/Nov time for a court date.

Could anyone advise in your experiences what would be the best course of action at this stage, bearing in mind i need the money for 14 september. I am considering accepting their offer, but in light of the fact that it is already being processed by the courts, would i be able to negotiate at all.

 

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

Hi Guys

 

Just a query really.

 

Barclays had till the 14th to file a defence which they havn't, as of yet. I am aware of taking into accout postal delays etc. But from reading various posts how long should i wait before filing for judgement as a minimum. i filed my claim at the court and not through MCOL.

How would the courts handle Barclays filing a defence late?

Could anybody explain what setting the judgement aside is please?

 

Many thanks for your time.

before you file for judgement speak to the court first, they may have received the defence but not updated your file.....banks are being allowed to enter their defence late for some reason,

make sure the judge is willing to back you up for judgement as it will only delay things if they request it to be removed

Hi Darren

 

Thanks for your reply, what does "back me up for judgement mean", sorry i'm just a little new to these thing.

 

Thanks

 

sometimes you get a judge that is fully aware of the abuse of the system from banks and do not tolerate their attitude of filing 'when they feel like it' and will kick it out and award you judgement.

Others for some unknown reason seem to back them up allowing them all the time they need.

 

you can bet if they were filing against you.....you wouldnt be allowed the extra time.
