Hmm Pudsters, sorry, just jumped on quick as I am at work! It does seem to me that this is unfortunately an executed agreement. We were sent an application form and nothing else and it actually says "Application Form" on it with no T&C's or anything. Yours seem fairly comprehensive.

 

How old is this account is you don't mind me asking?

Corn, aren't the prescribed terms missing such as apr etc? I know they are in the T&Cs on the back but it does say on the front of the form that they can change the type of card if they want to? just wondering...

OK, that explains how they seem to be able to produce. Ours (or rather husband's) is 11 years old.

I think (although others may disagree) that is is acceptable to have the apr on the back. I think the type of card would be to do with your credit scoring ie : they may give you a platinum rather than a gold, for example with a higher limit and a better rate. In our case, my husband apparently applied for a Gold card but was actually given a Platinum.

 

This is only the second time I have seen something resembling an executed agreement. Can I suggest you post it (or the link) onto the CCA thread. Also, have you asked M55, he's pretty good with these things.:)

Yeah I am talking to M55 and Lantana atm on the MBNA thread. Mr Pudsters are also quite recent. Or at least one of them is so as soon as I get anything through will post them on here for everyone to see. Lantana seems to think that this is missing prescribed terms and M55 thinks that some of it is okay... so will wait and see, my battle with MBNA is far from over though! Lol... I will subscribe to your MBNA thread, I probs am already... I have got a new MBNA application form and they have definately changed their tactics though, a lot more information is actually contained in the agreement now,... which makes me think there must have been something wrong with the old ones for them to change it! 8) Just my opinion though...

Hi

Yes the agreement is based on the earlier 1983 regs the curent one wil lhave the extra sections in it due to the 1482 ammendments, It may also be a distance agreement which means it will have additional section one info in the key information I notice that there is a sig in the creditors box marked reps name so presumablythis wasn't a distance agement.

Hi Peter, this was signed at my local rugby ground, do you think this has the prescribed terms missing? I thought it had to mention the apr, payment term etc in the actual agreement?

Hi

 

This document is obviously an application form but it is somewhat different to some others I have seen because

it does have all the prescribed terms on the reverse.

 

However, it does not contain all the other required terms and statutory statements so at best it can only be described as an 'improperly executed' agreement and so enforceable on an order of the court only.

 

I have been trying to find a statement that all the prescribed terms MUST be on the front of the document and not just shown on the reverse, but haven't found anything definitive.

 

However I have found this section of the OFT doc on cancellable agreements which I think (in a round about way) gives the answer:

 

Statements of customer’s protection and remedies

 

Statements about the main rights of customers provided by the Act must be included in the agreement in the form set out in Appendix 1. The statements about termination and

repossession of goods, in the case of hire-purchase or conditional sale agreements, must be shown together as a whole with the financial and related particulars described on

pages 9–12 and not interspersed with any other information. (See statement 4 in Appendix 1.) Alternatively these statements can be shown elsewhere (for example, on

the reverse of the agreement) as long as a reference to them is included with the financial and related particulars.

 

This means that if these statements are on the reverse, then your attention to them must be drawn (grammer?) on the front - and included with the 'financial and related particulars', so these 'particulars' would HAVE to be on the front also!

 

IMO this is an unenforceable document, whether it is deemed to be an 'agreement' or not.

 

I would send the same '2nd chance' letter to the creditor as I advised on the Credit Agreement thread.

Hey guys, Mr Pudsters has got two MBNA alleged accounts... got sum strange letters from MBNA the other day, neva been sent them before... quite contradictory. One says that they are going to write off his account to bad debt and the other says he must make a payment straight away otherwise full balance is due... i'm confused... don't know what they are up to... cheers... can scan and post them if needed. They provided application forms one identical to the one above and one almost identical... have been disputing the CCA since.

I would agree that this is an application form (so is a pre-contractual document).

 

Obviously MBNA don't have a clue what they are doing with these account. Are the letters from seperate departments? The letter asking for payment is more likely to be a computer generated response.

MBNA are in a real mess. I got a letter on Saturday saying thank you for advising them of my financial difficulties (I didn't as their agreement is unenforceable, so I've just told them I won't be paying). It thanks me for making token payments (I haven't) but says they need a small increase to avoid further action. It says they cannot continue to suppress interest and fees if I don't increase payments (funny that, as they are still applying interest and fees) and says they really want to help me but I must ring them (don't think so).

 

They obviously don't know what they are doing at the moment.

HI Ompletely dissagree with Pam

Nothing unusual ther then

This is an agreement

Is it enforceable Yes as long has it has been signed

all the prescribed erms are ther although not in the right place,unfortunatlythe positioning of these is not a prescribed term.

You could say it was enforceable by court order only.

The only possibillity of making it unenforceable is the cancellation rightes diid you recieve ae after the agreement was executed if not you could go for unenforceability under section127(4).

IMO

Hi Peter, I've never seen the cancellation rights as far as I'm aware, not sure at all. I thought that all the prescribed terms had to be in the signature doc? I'm very new to all this and as far as i was aware the document abv is precontractual and it doesn't draw my attention to the financial particulars. I just don't understand these letters i'm receiving either now, i'll try and post them on 2mrw for you to see.

 

Hi Rory, They are from exactly the same dept but are from two different ppl. They really haven't got a clue.

 

Thanx everyone else for your comms, need all the help i can get atm! lol.

HI

Yes the regulations do state that the terms have to be together in one block.

However the possitioning of the prescribed terms is not in itself a prescribed term, and cannot therfor be used under 127 to make it unenforceable.

Hiya Peter, i'm not disagreeing with you but trying to get my head around it all.

 

If the prescribed terms are not in the signature doc, don't they have to print a statement in the financial & related particulars to draw your attention to the prescribed terms? that is how i understood it and have been advised before. The terms and conditions on the back are purely that, terms and conditions... surely the prescribed terms have to be included in the application or 'agreement' itself... they are not meant to spread them into the other T+Cs coz isn't that confusing/unfair? It kind of defeats the object of having prescribed terms coz they could print an essay and expect you to have read all of it?!?

 

Also as you stated b4, if it is only enforcable with a court order because it is improperly executed... what does that mean for me?

 

As i said peter i'm not trying to disagree and am literally bouncing ideas off you because im not really sure who else to ask...

 

Thanx for all ur advice and comms it is much appreciated...

HI

Don't worry about dissagreeing i could be wrong and if nobody pointed it out i would carry on in a fools parridise.We are all friends here.

 

The prescribed terms are placed at various points in the agreement and have their own heading (usually like payments or credit limit.etc)

They should however be in one block and on the same page of the signature block. In post 2004 agreements they should be contained within the Key finantial information block.

Any other information about t and cs can be refered to in the text.

Yes the Prescribed terms do have to be with the signature doc and should be in the same block as the signature. The regs just say

"section 61(1)(a) of the Act, containing all the prescribed terms of the regulated agreement,

and of the information contained in that document for the purpose of conforming to these

Regulations shall—

(a) apart from any signature, be easily legible and, where applicable, be of a colour

which is readily distinguishable from the background medium upon which the

information is displayed; and

(b) apart from that inserted in handwriting, be of equal prominence, except that

headings, trade names and names of parties to the agreement may be afforded more.

 

The actual placing of the individual terms set in Scedule 1 of the regulations.

 

Not sure whether that answers your question or not.

In short the prescribed terms should be readilly legible and contained within the same document you sign, reference to another document that is with the agreement would be aginst the form requirements of the cca but would IMO not render it unenforceable, reference to anther form that is not with the agreement would render it unenforceable.Clear as mud

Hi guys, quick update for everyone.

 

Carried on battling with MBNA with many letters going back and forth.

 

They have now passed it over to Link Financial, with whom I queried this immediately, the broke data protection by discussing an alleged account my husband has but did however agree to put a hold on the alleged account as I explained it was in legal dispute.

 

Today however I have received court docs from Northampton bulk processing centre and need some advice.

 

I haven't CCA'd link yet, it this an option? I would also like to complain about the data protection act breach... The balance they are quoting is probably made up of heavy charges too? but as Im not acknowledging the debt how does this work?

 

I know I need to send my acknowledgement of service and then file a defence? could anyone help me with this as I'm a bit lost!

 

In short I need help! and asap... if anyone feels that they can give me some advice please post asap. Im in my final year at uni and this is the last thing I need at the moment....lol....

 

Thanks

 

Pudst.

xxxxx
