  1. sorry to say this but i have seen a recent set of credit cards terms and conditions -- with a section --- if/when you die and the company definitely wanted their money owing if/when you die ---- suggest you get a set of t & c from santander and check it out.
  2. just to put a link to events in parliament today concerning vulture funds and a private members bill getting an unopposed second reading. all speakers found the existence of thes funds abhorrent. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/249352-private-members-bill-re.html
  3. today the Debt Relief (Developing Countries) Bill 2009-10 private members bill Type of Bill:Private Members' Bill (Ballot Bill)Sponsor:Andrew Gwynne got a 2nd reading unopposed {sadly due the the forthcoming election it could eventually fall by the wayside unless it is effectively "fastracked"} vulture funds purchase sovereign debt and make vast fortunes via the british courts[very similar in theory to the way companies like cabot etc purchase debt ] all parties in parliament find this procedure abhorrent. http://services.parliament.uk/bills/2009-10/debtreliefdevelopingcountries.html the point is these MP's who speak positive about this bill including Andrew Gwynne need to be made aware of the debt purchasing companies and their dubious tactics etc here in the UK
  4. how did this get into small claims court when the amount is clearly over £5,000? no need to say in open forum
  5. after todays debacle of the rbs share price ( down approx 65%) to 11.8 pence ? the following post might be of interest to rbs credit card holders http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-1928576.html
  6. now in view of the fact that RBS today became a "penny stock" the following statement seems very interesting "unless RBS’ long-term senior unsecured indebtedness as rated by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch Ratings were to fall below Baa2, BBB or BBB, respectively. The lack of notice has several legal consequences "
  7. suggest you refer to this thread in particular the generous offer made by pt2537 on post 5 !!! "halsbury eat your heart out " http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/122201-more-secrets-about-assignment.html#post1260656
  8. in simple terms when foreign companies such as MBNA i(capital one ??) increase the interest rate to these "extortionate" levels when people fall on hard times as many people in authority MP's press etc need to be made aware of what is going on .......... if they were to default you (presuming they came up with a valid agreement) does anyone think applying for a time order would work ?? http://www.insolvencyhelpline.co.uk/debt_factsheets/time_orders.php
  9. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/171221-what-deed-relating-assignment.html
  10. however their could be a fatal flaw here if the deed of assignment was not witnessed the deed of assignment is a 4 or 5 page document http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/171221-what-deed-relating-assignment.html#post1847457

  12. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT HALIFAX have been sending out a lot of the "same " cut and paste letters recently signed by different members of staff. how do the laws of scotland apply ????? in england
  13. any update on this thread have been reading it but have noticed that the two halves of the document on post 1 do not fit together properly , part 1 has the start of a signatory box for the creditor, but it does not show on part 2
  14. Richard can i develop a hypothetical situation from the above post imagine the copy agreement was dated say , (pushing the situation to the extreme) 1993, would i be correct in assuming that; "Should an actual witness take oath and give evidence as to the accuracy of a copy document " then that person must have been employed by the company in the relevant year 1993 in this case,,,, consequently the defendant might have a right to demand proof of this fact ??? relating to the years of service ???
