    When did I call you Stephen king all my facts are correct you are seeing things that aren't there you also feel that everyone is Mark Alexandra why would anyone take notice of someone who thinks that way that's a true fact.

    I met him down the pub as well the barmaid pored his pint before she asked what he wanted, so I asked how did you know what he drinks, she replied he always has a POA (pint of ale )
  • are you a beetroot Mike?

    Stephen, I might as well be a beetroot. That would make as much sense as some of the stuff that you posted here and elsewhere, maybe more.

    You have not given a single, straight, open and honest answer to any of the questions I have asked you so far, so I'm left to try and find my own conclusions.

    I still suspect that you're on the WB payroll because that would explain nicely why you are so very anti the Property118 campaign and it's leaders.

    If that's not the case then you are obviously on some sort of a personal crusade (and don't say you're not because you only have to count the number of times you have mentioned POA in the last few days to see this is something much more than a passing interest or a hobby).

    One thing is obvious, you are desperate to recruit converts to your cause. (Here is a thought.... are you some sort of an aspiring cult leader??? Hail King Stephen??? Is that where the Stephen King pseudonym came from??)

    One thing is for sure - until you open up a little such speculation is unlikely to go away. King Stephen, Prince Of Anger?? :A

    Thank you for your reply.


    However, you say Forums act as a hoover , charging fees and leading to false hope.


    I have not paid any fees to join the forum. The only fees I have paid are into a secure account for the legal fees of our barrister and WB fees should that be required. I do not have false hope. We have not been given any guarantees . This is not false hope. It is our only hope as no one else we have approached as given us any real assistance .


    You keep mentioning POA. This however appears to me to contradict you.


    Why is POA so important?


    If POA is the golden bullet that will win us this case , why do you think our legal advisor will not use it?


    You say it is something the banks do not want us to know and that our advisor will not use . If that's the case I envisage a situation in Court where no one will bring it up. So why is it important?


    Surely if WB are going to use it they will bring it up in Court? But you say they do not want us to know about it. How will they use it against us then ? Perhaps I am missing something?


    You say you and your colleagues. Please tell us who you really are then, your qualifications and experience for being able to pass on this vital information. Hiding behind false names does not give you credibility. tell us about you and your colleagues.


    You say you have been defrauded by around 30 financial institutions. I don't think I could name 30 . Who are these institutions ? and why have they all chosen to pick on you ? Are these the only ones you have been involved with or have you had involvement with other ones?


    You must be the unluckiest man in the world for 30 to pick on you . What have you done to upset them?


    Have you taken them to court over this?


    If so what was the outcome? You seem to have a lot of knowledge of this , did you use the PoA argument when you took them to Court ?


    Why would you sack Mark Smith ?


    Do you think he is purposely trying to lose this case and if so why would he do that ? What would be in it for him to do that ?


    Who would you use instead of him ?


    You say you offered [Text removed by MSE Forum Team] your help? In what form and for what in return? This whole action as got to where it is by being co ordinated by Mark Alexander and facilitated by P118. Many people have given their help to Mark to get this far. I do not think I have ever seen him turn anyone away who offered to help. So why would he refuse yours ?


    If all Barristers belong to the same club , then who can we turn to for help? Are you suggesting that they will all try and ensure the Bank wins ? Please tell us who we should contact if not another Barrister ?


    Im sure you indicated in an earlier response that the £460000 ( not £480k I said earlier sorry) would be used in fees by our legal team. However you say now that's not the case. But you do say the Barrister is paying Mark Alexander a handsome amount of expenses. Are you aware that the group have agreed a fee with Mark Smith that they are happy with paying.


    What Mark Smith does with that money is up to him. He could put 25% of it on this weekends Grand National, use 25% for drugs and drink and spend 25% on high class hookers and then waste the rest for all we care . It is his money, no one ( other than my wife) tells me what I do with my ( our , her) money. We know what the amount is. I can not see either of them getting that rich on it.


    You say he stands to make a small fortune from repetitive class actions but the banks don't mind he as missed the firing pin.


    If he loses because he didn't attack the PoA , how many people will join the next class action based on his track record of one nil to the banks ? I wont be joining !


    It is in his interests to win in order to make a small fortune on repetitive class actions. Losing on purposes by not taking your advice is cutting off that small fortune.


    You have the firing pin. Explain more about this firing pin and how it will work ?


    There are a few of us who have had Court room experience. Another Barrister and a solicitor. They seem to be backing the current situation. Maybe they are in on this too? If they are one of them as paid more in than he would get as a share, so he must be very stupid?


    What was your Court Room experience and how did that work out? Did you use PoA ? If not . why ?


    You say Truth and decency drives you. So please , give us your really name , tell us of your experiences . What you do now and why. What you have done in the past, what employment work you have had or have.


    Look forward to hearing from you


    Thank you

  • There is an excellent thread on Property Tribes in relation To the West Brom Building Soc tracker hike.

    Thanks Stephen, I'll pop over there too when I get a chance. Have you answered any questions on there? If so maybe I'll learn some more about you and your campaign? I hope its not more of the same old boring stuff though: POA, POA, POA, POA, etc, etc, etc. It sounds like some sort of a weird cult chant... POA, Hail King Stephen!

    On a point of interest.

    This time last year, the Poster Known As Lewis Ranieri aka 'lovelyjubbly' was in the process of (a) suing the Bank of Ireland for £34m, and (b) going to launch a website that would organise representative actions against against "every BANK on the planet". I'm not sure what happened to either of these ventures, but judging by the fact that he was made bankrupt on the 24th December 2013, probably not a lot.

    Anyway, I suspect this explains why the Poster Known As Lewis Ranieri is pursuing this vendetta against Property118 and [Text removed by MSE Forum Team]. He is very, very, very, annoyed that [Text removed by antrobus] has actually managed to get some class actions against banks off the ground and into the courts. Obviously, since this is what Poster Known As Lewis Ranieri conspicously failed to do himself, this means that Alexander is part of the conspiracy, and the whole thing is a fraud designed to obscure the real truth.

    Of course, the Property118 class actions may fail anyway. But if they do fail, it will be because of the actual law, and have nothing to do with the crackpot pseudo-legal gobbledygook peddled by freemen on the land types.

    Thanks for that, I think you have summed up the situation better than anyone else.

    Personally I will not be taking any legal advice from someone if they are a bankrupt.

    But this explains his anger.

    Just for the record I have always said, don't take Lewis Ranieri seriously, he knows nothing. He has absolutely no accredited legal knowledge and is therefore not in a position to advise.

    In fact if it's true he has been bankrupted, then I would suggest it would be dangerous to take his advice.

    Is all this fuss about a few BTL landlords looking at having to take a bit of a hit on their profits?
