Bump

No.3 though no rush

And what should I include in my 'court bundle' if there a link I can read about court bundles? I guess it's just a copy of everything I'm going to use.

- what makes an enforcable agreement - just so I'm clear?

1. I'm putting my court bundle together this weekend - so i send to court AND claimant?
2. Registered / Special / Recorded Post?
3. Was thinking: no cca has been produced and a default has been put on my record: my mortgage scheme expires end march and BECAUSE of that default the only mortgage I can change to is one thats more expensive than standard high street schemes - could claimant be liable for the difference in the cost of my mortgage because of the default? - was just curious lol


Anyway I printed off Court procedures and consumer credit act and am just working through them to back up my defence.

Is there anything else I should do this weekend on my case?

cca It MUST contain a
credit amount (it could say we will determine your credit amount from time to time (this is acceptible))

an interest rate

and repayment type i.e 5% or £5

it MUST be on the document you signed NOT on seperate paper work.

sent defence to court by recorded (allow 3 days to be safe before dead line) and other send by normal postage (cuts cost) as long as they get it by deadline theres no problem, get proof of posting from post office for latter ( it covers your rear end JUST in case they try using excuse that they never got it)

Hi

With reference to your claiming damages for your mortgage there is actually a ruling by the Court of Appeal that addresses this:

Kpohraror v Woolwich Building Society - Mr Kpohraror sued the bank for damage to reputation following a (wrongly) bounced cheque.

The pertinent part of the Court of Appeal judgement is:

"The credit rating of individuals is as important for their personal transactions, including mortgages and hire-purchase as well as banking facilities, as it is for those who are engaged in trade, and it is notorious that central registers are now kept. I would have no hesitation in holding that what is in effect a presumption of some damage arises in every case, in so far as this is a presumption of fact."

So I imagine a claim for damages is quite possible . If you have proof that your mortgage was directly affected by your poor credit rating then you have a case for substancial damages, in the above case he was awarded £1000

Hope this helps

Goodness me,

Well yes I do have direct proof, namely a mortgage quotation that is 400 squid more expensive, per month, wouldn't be too much to ask my (reputable) mortgage broker to write to me outlining my options, and the reason for them (the default).

I read somewhere around CAG that as long as you tell them in writing that the matter is "in dispute" then they can't put anything on your record until it's resolved. I was after some facts to possibly cement that as I plan to maybe add it to my defence to get the default removed. If it's removed I'm laughing, basically.

Either way, I am aiming to get the case struck out on my original defence, then send a special delivery letter to them pointing out that as the matter is in dispute I'd like the default removed immediately, failing which I will take further action against them to recover the costs to me which are directly resulting from the default.

Any info you could point me to regarding the 'in dispute' topic would be appreciated.

Thanks for your input

Sam

Pertinent document:

This is what they've sent me on two occasions now, as being the cca agreement in place.

Sorry took a while I finally found access to a scanner.

More docs follow once I take out personal info.

That is not an agreement.
Don't worry too much about the Judge pushing the dates back. By giving them extra time they have no excuse on the day you go to court.
