    • 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.

Help!!

I'm sorry if this has already been answered somewhere but I cant find it if it has.

 

I'm divorced and am claiming back charges from HSBC for the old joint account which is now closed.

 

The bank have made an offer (over 2000.00) but my Ex wont sign as he wants to look into it 1st - and I only have 10 days to reply. I've done all the work and have said we could split it 50/50. Very fair considering he owes me over 400.00

 

He wants copies of all my letters and will then think about it after taking advice!!

 

The account was either to sign and I know he's entitled to 1/2...

 

  • What should I do?
  • Can I legally claim just in my name - as I have done to this point?
  • Do the bank have to have his signature?
  • Can I kiss goodbye to the money if he decides to be vindictive and not sign?

I think that I am right in saying that on notice of dispute, mandates revert to common law which means that all parties should sign.

 

Without going into more detail, I don't think that HSBC should even be considering your claim unless signed in accordance with the mandate - now requiring two signatures - and from there on it all has the potential to go seriously down hill and wrong.

 

IMHO anyway.

Put it to him this way - either he wants some money for doing bugger all, or he doesn't.

DCA's - they have the same power as an infinite number of untrained chimps working on a script for Hamlet, but the chimps would probably at least get it right :D

Unfortunately if she signs it on his behalf I believe that would constitute fraud, or obtaining money by deception, not sure which. Unless of course you're kidding :)

Sign it and tell him tough, you have done the work you sign,

 

No fraud because the account is either party to sign

I'd say you're right, Pete, the mandate for either party to sign has never been recinded - also if there was any doubt the bank would be only too happy to find a loophole! :rolleyes:

but dont forge his signature as suggested in post 5 -which is what me and rayne were referring to

 

Yep! that would be totally out of order, pure forgery, but as Pete says, it's not necessary.

The account I claimed on was is my name only for all but the last 3 years when it was turned into a joint account! It was either to sign. Right through the claim the bank and dg did not make reference to the fact it was a joint account but the acceptance letter required both signitures! I ignored their letter and just signed my name on my own acceptance letter. They paid me!

Same as Freaky, the charges I got back yesterday were for a joint account and the settlement letter they sent me required both signatures. I wasn't happy with the terms they were proposing though so sent my own acceptance letter signed only by me and I still got my money. Send your own acceptance letter and then give him half the money if he is that fussed, sounds like he's being a complete arse!

kimbo - bet you wish you hadn't asked!!! lol

 

but, to sum up - if it was an either to sign joint account - we have always said it only takes one signature and one person to do the claim right through to the money. what you do after you get the money - now - that could start another avalanche of responses - but it's up to you - most divorce settlements have a line in them which says something about any money coming your way from when you were married should be divided between you - so i'd give him half and say - "don't know why i'm doing this - as i did all the work - but here you go" now sod off!

I would give him half less the £400 he owes you, he's still £600 up on the deal for doing nothing. Give him it with a receipt showing the £400 deducted, monies owing. Give him a copy of the offer & acceptance.

I can't sit by and let all you ladies have a go at this poor bloke who may never have done anything wrong and been the perfect husband!

 

Perhaps he worked all the hours just to put food on the table? How can you have a pop at him when he is not here to defend himself?

 

Ok just going to hide before all the responses come back at me!! LOL :)
