        I was reading a paragraph from the case attached below and see how Blemain admit that they lend on equity and not the person....still reading this case as it is quite long.....but confirms that it is equity lending:

        c. Mr Stewardson, of Blemain Finance, accepted that Blemain at the material time was a sub-prime lender and did lend to persons with financial problems. He confirmed that for Blemain it was the value of the security, not the value of the person, which was important. They accepted self-declaration of income and would lend to a discharged bankrupt, though not (to his knowledge) to any undischarged bankrupt. He was cross-examined about publicity material which clearly suggested Blemain would be willing to lend despite other adverse lending: he said that the material was aimed at brokers and was intended to invite applications. But, he said, Blemain did have and apply their own criteria when considering a specific application, and "we would reject an application in a false name".

            I am trying to look for the case law below but no luck yet...can anyone help please?

            Gomba Holdings (UK) Ltd v Minories Finance Ltd (No 2) [1993] CH 171

            Comment


            • Re: Blemain Finance Possession Claim

              I am trying to work out some figures on my loan.....and trying to get my head around what is owed, how much I paid so far and how much Blemain have added in costs, charges and legal costs to date.

              They have added £7,064.85 to my loan and are using their contractual right under the terms and conditions and also relying on the Gomba Holdings case above. The case has not been decided yet and they have added their legal costs to the loan...they are also claiming separate legal costs on top, which I do not know exactly how much in total they are, but in Jan 2013 I received a letter from Cobbetts LLP who were Blemain's solicitors then, and they advised me that their legal bill at that time was £12,840.00 + VAT and disbursements of £1,755.81 = £14,595.81.

              Below I have roughly added what has been paid to date and the sums Blemain have added.....I need to add the £14,595.81 to the £56,968.23....mind you the sum quoted by Cobbetts back in Jan 13 will most likely be higher now as we had a directions hearing in May, and no doubt they will have added more to that. But for now these are the figures I am looking at.

              SUM LOANED = £35,000.00 + £2,672.00 (BROKERS FEES ETC) =£37,672.00

              TOTAL PAYMENTS MADE TO DATE = £14,378.04

              £37,672.00 - £14,378.04 = £42, 590.19

              £42,590.19 + £7,064.85 (contractual legal costs) = £49,655.04

              £49,655.04 + £2,165.67 (contractual costs & charges) = £51,820.71

              TOTAL SUM OWING ACCORDING TO BLEMAIN AT 28 MAY 2013 = £56,968.23

              £56,968.23 + £ 14,595.81 = £71,564.04



              So if Blemain can justify all the sums above which the are entitled to after everything they have done, then I don't see why I should have any problem explaining why they shouldn't be entitled to them.

              I know it is not going to be easy, but I have to try and keep going.

                This is suppose to be a repayment loan, variable interest rate loan....but seems the more I pay the more I seem to be owing.

                Interest on the loan is 9.8%....and I need to add and calculate all the figures accurately to take with me to the hearing to show the judge.

                Worse case scenario if I lose hopefully I can rely on the Norgan case and spread the repayments over the remaining of the term, which I have approx 19 years left....

                but I truly believe that no way will the court let Blemain win 100% no matter how nervous and all over the place I may be feeling getting everything together.

                I have put some figures in to a mortgage calculator and this is approx what I would be looking at if I lost my case:

                Mortgage required: £71,564.04

                Repayment period: 19 years

                interest at 9.8%

                monthly repayment: £703.51

                presently I am paying the contractual repayments of £335.76 plus £30 towards the arrears each month = £365.76

                my payment would almost double and I would have to pay an extra £337.75 on top of what I am paying already.....wowwwwwww...this is getting better and better

                  Hi Jumper, please take a look at this thread http://www.legalbeagles.info/forums/...looking2-share-( it seems that there is lots going on with Blemain at present including TV, Ms Vaz etc. This person is not giving too much away on his post but enough to wet our appetite. Just be careful what you tell him and let him tell you what he knows and if anything which could help you hun. xx

                                OMG. How did I miss this post. Jumper this is brilliant news :high5:

                                Are you able to post the outline of your settlement or have you signed a gagging clause :censored:


                                Your High Court hearing was due this week. Did you settle before the hearing or when you arrived at the court or after the judge sent out a signal that Blemain were not in his good books so they backed down at lunchtime?
