Hi everyone

[saloplad]

I am a new member of the forum and would like to say hello.

I am an experienced debt specialist and consultant with a major voluntary sector advice charity and have been working in the field for some 30 years. I have particular interest and experience in consumer credit law. In a previous life I was a solicitor

I am currrently trying to put together a data base and analysis of unfair relationship cases, and am looking for a transcripts of Yates v Nemo and Mannion v Nine Regions t/a as Log Book Loans (Cambridge County Court, May 2010).

I am also looking for evidence of malpractice by LBL to contribute to the OFT's case in the appeal by LBL against the revocation of its CCA licence.

Another current interest is civil recovery, where alleged shoplifters, and people alleged to have stolen from their employers, are sent (allegedly) excessive and unreasonable demands for alleged losses following their 'wrongful actions'.

The major players are Nottingham firm Retail Loss Prevention and Bradford solicitors Drydens.

Also getting interested in similar practices by firms of solicitors demanding damages for alleged unlawful file sharing. More information about this is avaialble on the Which? website.

Look forward to being able to contribute.

Our member Righty has a very big interest in this and you should PM him as you will probably be working in the same areas.

Re: Hi everyone

Mannion v LBL - 128K-a-year Judge Charles Harris QC backs loan companies over crippling interest rate charges - mirror.co.uk

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Judge Charles Harris QC threw out scaffolder Mark Mannion's claim that it was unfair for one high-cost lender to demand 330 per cent A YEAR interest from him.
He ruled that Logbook Loans - which lends cash against the value of people's cars - was not being extortionate in charging £5,000 in interest and late-payment charges from Mr Mannion, who borrowed just £750 against his BMW car.

Was it appealed and were Stephensons Solicitors involved in the case? (I don't know just someone else mentioned they may have been)

Don't really see what the judges salary has to do with the price of fish though, typical Mirror reporting.
