    • I've just started to read Carey v HSBC on Casemine, 
    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Apologies for longish post but want to give context....

 

A few years ago,

when I was a freshly single mum trying to keep my head above water,

I got myself into the most terrible.

 

horrible mess with payday loans resulting in a CCJ (unpaid to date) and a bundle of defaults

– some paid, some unpaid, to be honest I just lost track, so I am now trying to now sort out.

 

The fault was all mine,

typical story of robbing Peter to pay Paul until it all got too much and I literally walked away from the debt.

I moved a couple of times, the debt collectors went quiet and I totally buried my head.

 

after a complete overhaul of my old money habits and working really hard for a couple of years,

I've started to feel like I can breathe again and can think about the future.

 

I want to try and get my ducks in a row so that I can think about a mortgage in the next couple of years.

And get rid of that awful feeling of being in debt and waiting for someone to knock at the door.

 

I got my credit file a few months ago to get a handle on what I owe and to try and unpick the damage.

This it seems has woken up the debt collectors to my new address details (fair enough) as I have had a fresh onslaught of debt companies chasing me hard again.

 

The scariest is demand for payment on the 3.5 year old CCJ

- with a threat that enforcement is the next step

(I know I do need to get in touch with them now and make this payment)

just a couple of days ago a new CCJ claim form from another DCA after they've resent the original default notices again.

 

I’m needing some help.

After reading the recent news about payday loan irresponsible lending claims I know some of mine fell into this criteria for sure

– at one point I was borrowing from 8 or 9 different companies at the same time,

rolling over debts or paying them back and re-borrowing on the same day. What a mess.

 

I plan on working out the full picture of what I borrowed and when, and putting in complaints as I think this would apply to me going by the chaos of my finances at the time. I feel it won’t be long before more court claim forms start coming though.

 

However, that doesn’t help with the current CCJ claim from that I now have to defend or pay. :!:

 

Would somebody please minding guiding me through it?

I’ve been doing lots of reading but would appreciate some support

…it’s v overwhelming/confusing and my absolute goal is to get all this debris clean and gone once and for all.

 

Thank you in advance

 

J

THANK YOU!

 

Name of the Claimant? PRAC Financial

Date of issue – 22nd October 2017

 

What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?

 

1.The Claimant’s Claim is for the sum of £900 being monies due from the Defendant to the Claimant under a loan agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 between the defendant and Instant Cash loans Ltd t/a Payday UK under account reference xxxx and assigned to the Claimant on 09/12/2016, notice of which has been given to the defendant.

2.The defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

3.The Claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8.00% per annum (a daily rate of £0.19) from the date of assignment of the agreement to 19/10/2017 being an amount of £100

 

What is the value of the claim? £1120

 

Is the claim for – Payday loan

 

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? After

 

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor

or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim – Debt purchaser via BW Legal

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Yes

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? I had moved address. DCA sent a copy of it.

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year? As above, I had moved address.

 

Why did you cease payments? Had overwhelming debt at the time

 

What was the date of your last payment? I didn’t make a payment on this loan of £500 (but had numerous other previous loans with PayDay Uk over the period of a year)

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No

 

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan ? No

So helpful, thank you. That all is very clear. I'll get the letters sent.

 

I imagine I'll totally need help with my defence?! One step at a time, I guess.

 

Just going through my pile of letters from BW legal, it seems the same people have started the same process with an old Payday loan from Payday Express too....Can I get the same CCA request sent in relation to that too, before they send the claim.

I wouldn't bother till/unless you get a claimform

 

might be better to get IL complains running.

 

or at the very least

if you've never told debt owners on your credit file you've moved

you need to do so to prevent backdoor CCJ's to an old address.

 

a CCA request could kill these two birds at once

 

but this claim is your current priority

Dont mind me jumping in here - Think this is the 2nd time that i have seen BW Legal do a claim form for ICL Ltd Loans (TMS / PDE / PDUK)

They really are a nasty bunch - really!

 

Anyway to add to this. Follow DXs advice on this one.

When you are ready to start complaints with all the other lenders, come find me and read our CAG guide and we will help you with your reclaims :)

Hello :-) Hope you are well.

 

Just wondering if you would mind looking over the below to see if it all seems ok as tomorrow is my deadline day. I haven't received anything back from me CCA request, or the CPR 31.

 

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with Instant Cash loans Ltd t/a Payday UK. I am unaware of what alleged debt the claimant refers to having failed to adequately particularise its claim.

 

3. Paragraph 2 is denied I am unaware of what account the claimant refers to.

 

4. Paragraph 3 is denied I cant ever recall receiving any Notice of Assignment from December 2016 or ever having being approached pre litigation with regards this alleged debt.

 

5. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach requested by CPR 31. 14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement with the Claimant; and

(b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

© show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 

6. On receipt of this claim I requested by way of a CPR 31.14 request and a section 77/78 for copies of any documents referred to within the Claimants particulars to establish what the claim is for. To date they have failed to comply to my section 77/78 request and remain in default and with regards to my CPR 31.14 request.

 

7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974.

 

9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

 

I'm feeling a little anxious :behindsofa:

Ah yes, it's 23rd October, not 22nd?!

 

Also....I posted the above in haste, I'm rushing and it's all wrong. This is my second attempt.

 

 

Particulars of claim for reference only

 

1.The Claimant’s Claim is for the sum of £900 being monies due from the Defendant to the Claimant under a loan agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 between the defendant and Instant Cash loans Ltd t/a Payday UK under account reference xxxx and assigned to the Claimant on 09/12/2016, notice of which has been given to the defendant.

 

2.The defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

3.The Claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8.00% per annum (a daily rate of £0.19) from the date of assignment of the agreement to 19/10/2017 being an amount of £100

 

Defence

 

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

The Claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) Failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st October 2017.It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant to 7.1 PAPDC

 

2. Paragraph 1 is denied. I have in the past had financial dealings with Instant Cash loans Ltd t/a Payday UK however I am unaware of what alleged debt the claimant refers to having failed to adequately particularise its claim.

 

3. Paragraph 1 is noted although I can’t recall receiving a Notice of Assignment from December 2016.

 

4. Paragraph 2 is noted although I have no recollection of ever receiving a Default Notice or Notice of intention to serve a DN.

 

5. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of assignment/balance/breach requested by CPR 31. 14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

6. On receipt of this claim I requested by way of a CPR 31.14 request and a section 77 for copies of any documents referred to within the Claimants particulars to establish what the claim is for. To date they have failed to comply to my section 77 request and remain in default and with regards to my CPR 31.14 request.

 

(a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement ; and

(b) show and evidence the nature and service of a default notice pursuant to sec87.1CCA1974

© show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for; and

(d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 

7 .As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974.

Thank you. You guys are great.

 

I did just have a letter back today from BW:

 

“We note your request for the relevant documentation to confirm your liability towards the current balance due, however we can confirm a claim form was issued through the Country Court at Northampton and was deemed served on 30th October 2017.

 

The response pack to the claim form will now need to be competed and returned with either your admission or defence.”

 

Although this isn't really saying anything is it??

 

Am I ok to now go ahead and submit the above defence, is there anything else I need to do?

 

Thank you
