    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?
    • so a new powerless B2B debt DCA set up less than a month ago with a 99% success rate... operating on a NWNF basis , but charging £30 to set up your use of them. that's gonna last 5mins.... = SPAMMERS AND SCAMMERS. a DCA is NOT a BAILIFF and have  ZERO legal powers on ANY debt - no matter WHAT its type. dx

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

They done this to me, I was over by 7p or something, I was unemplyed at the time, I clocked up over £200 in fees and they did nothing to help me, If they had of refunded a fee at the start I wouldn't of gotten into a mess but they wouldn't so I had no choice but to get a default and close the account, and the sickening tramps them said to me "Ah we will refund you a £25 fee" I said if you had of done that at the start I wouldnt of got into a mess"

OK.

Its £175, with £50 pending, so £225 in total.

Letter done.

I put my schedule of charges into the text of the letter, something I regularly do now. They can't make out that they have lost it, if they have the letter, they have the list of charges.

 

Sit back and wait for account closure now I suppose. :-(

  • 2 weeks later...

standard "bog off" letter arrived for mrs Crusher's account.

LBA sent off.

 

Oh, got another £50 put on my account, generated by my account being over due to the charges made because of the 1p.... its easy to see how these charges snowball. I rang up, and after a grilling for the poor member of staff the charges were refunded. So... £100 worth of charges because of 1p. Thats what I call value for money! ;)

OK, we are just adding any charges that have been added during the stay. For instance, we paid in money on saturday, as it was cash it was showing right away on the account (confirmed by a balance print out) they tell us today that there wasnt enough money in the account. Rubbish, there was loads in the account, they are just trying it on as usual.

 

Dont get mad, get even :D

 

OK mr A&L, offwe go again....

Hi HSBCrusher

 

ive got lots of alliance and leicester charges in the past year, about 250 would just cover my overdraft lol plus now checked online statements and they intend to charge me the 5.00 a day for being over the overdraft limit and thus 100.00 will be taken on the 18 may 2008, thus my question

can i ask for these too plus the 25.00 and 34.00 charges for failed and review account payments.

Should i put my claim in including the 100.00 charges being applied next week or wait until the charges been applied and then apply?

im fed up with this account want it sorted and closed as fast as possible.

Your help appreciated ciao for now MAZ

Hiya HSBCrusher

 

im looking at the first letter i need to send requesting for my charges back and do the schedule of charges, but am confused on the interest charges , ive tried to calculator and i must be doing something wrong, at the end of the day i dont want to make a mess of it so is it okay to just ask for the charges and not the interest charges on the overdraft, and then if they done pay up do the letter for the before court and if still dont then do the court letter and then add the 8% INTEREST at the court stage _ would be happy to get a result this way and not faff about with the overdraft charges incase i make a mistake>

 

what do you suggest

maz

OK.

 

I am absolutley jumping.:mad:

 

£1.77 over my OD limit, that's right, less than 2 quid has resulted in... over £180 worth of charges on one statement.

There has been NO activity on the account last month, other than A&L's fees.

it went a little over, (because of fees by the way) and now this.

 

A classic example of how the banks are ABUSING the waiver, for greedy profit.

 

but, typical A&L... getting someone to talk about it... huh, you would have more results talking to the nearest lampost.

 

Im going to cool down a bit, then plan my next action... boy, am I jumping.:mad:

Hi HSBCrusher!

 

I'd be interested to hear what your next plan of action is? I've been taken to the cleaners by A&L - they've just had me for about £300 in charges and they've closed the account. I'm not impressed! Does it look like we'll have to wait on the High Court ruling? Does anyone know?!

the last post in this was 2008!

 

well, it was difficult to progress any claim on this as we all know too well, but now the oft debacle is over, and the dust has settled, I think its time to take the fight back to A&L.

 

This reminds me somewhat of the early days, I'll need a new letter, and a new POC. Lets see where this goes eh? :grin:
