All - with RMG refusing to really engage on anything and RA having exhausted all immediate options we’ve decided to request RMG arrange an AGM. First to reappoint committee members; chair and secretary will be standing down so looking for any volunteers. Second, to allow RMG to address residents directly on the matter of them having been sacked but refusing to go. There is every chance RMG will ignore this request as they do all other requests. It’s important residents continue to keep on at RMG; use their complaints procedure and the First Tier Tribunal process and also contact your local MSP. Property factor regulations are devolved so if you think an effective regulatory framework is lacking that is a matter for the Scottish government.

Update on Termination of RMG as factor - 6th May 2023FTT Appeal:A resident who raised a complaint to the FTT about RMG’s refusal to accept the vote to terminate their role and various other issues including code of conduct breaches in relation to updating their written statement of services and (lack of) communication to Woodilee Residents had a finding in his favour following a review where RMG admitted submitting a false statement to the tribunal. A PFEO has been proposed and RMG are keen for it to be accepted, recompensing the resident for the time spent getting RMG to accept the situation. The findings of fact in this case establish that RMG Limited changed the factor to RMG Scotland Limited in 2018 and then did not comply with the law to provide new Written Statements of Service. Finding can be viewed here:www.woodilee.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/LM-22.2880-Review-and-draft-PFEO.pdfShould be noted that BTO were employed out again to defend RMG.It is accepted that RMG did not follow the change of factor process within the Deed of Conditions setting the precedent that all owners need not be notified for a change of factor to take place. It has been put to RMG that this nullifies their grounds for rejecting the termination served by the WRA in Jan 2022.BTO charges to residents:Still nothing from RMG that we are aware of. If nothing heard back residents should exhaust RMG’s complaints process (link below) then take complaints to the FTT. Hopefully RMG will provide a position on this shortly.www.rmgscotland.com/complaints/Petition to Scottish Parliament about challenges in replacing factors:Petition on this matter raised by a resident was accepted by the petitions committee (group of MSPs) on 3rd May. Seen to be an “issue that won’t go away”. They are writing to Scottish government and various other bodies to seek guidance on what is being done about this.You can watch the discussion here:www.scottishparliament.tv/meeting/citizen-participation-and-public-petitions-committee-may-3-2023Minutes from committee meeting here:www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees/committees/current-and-previous-committees/session-6-c...
