    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step. It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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.

Also you would make case law and the banks would move heaven and earth to stop this, can you imagine if all unenforceable agreements could be reclaimed.

There is already case law and the precedent of Wilson v first county.

This gets better by the day.

 

The bank has supplied two agreements, one has signatures but isn't the original as this has been lost and they claim they are not required to hold the original. the other later agreement with the correct payments, interest etc is not signed. It is claimed the signature has been lifted off an old agreement. Ive only just found out that the signed document is not the original after reading correspondence to the old dears MP.

My email last night to the chap who refuses to speak with me.

 

 

Dear Mr X

 

I have recently been contacted by Mrs X regarding her now protracted dispute with your organisation. I am now privy to all the documentation that has been hitherto provided to her. Of particular interest are the two regulated agreements, the first one dated Jan 2007 appears to contain Mrs Xs late husbands signature, however, the bank has conceded the original document does not exist and that what has been provided is a copy. The second regulated agreement dated Feb 2007 is referred to by the bank as an “amendment” document, this agreement was never signed by Mrs Xs late husband and the bank concede this as well. The second agreement refered to as an “amendment” document is in fact an agreement regulated by Consumer Credit Act 1974. As the agreement was entered into prior to April 2007 it MUST conform to the 1983 regulations thereunder and therefore, be in the proscribed form, containing the proscribed terms and signed by the borrower, failure to obtain a signature precludes a court from enforcing the same. The regulated agreement the bank rely on is the latter.

 

I am not in a position to comment on whether the signature contained on the first agreement is genuine or not as this would require a specialists opinion, however, I’ve noted that Mrs X believes it may have been added to the agreement without her husbands knowledge or consent.

 

I`m informed that you have “urgently"emailed Mrs X advising her that you will not discuss her complaint with me even though she as given her authority for this. I suspect it`s because you prefer to discuss Mrs Xs matter with individuals that are not aware of the law on this subject and therefore able to control and dictate the content.

 

I have today spoken with a solicitor and informed a journalist of the situation Mrs X finds herself in, I’ve spoken with the RH MP Sir X about the case and understand he`ll be writing to you and the FOS again shortly. I also understand the bank are withholding a significant PPI amount that was mis-sold to her late husband.

 

Yours Sincerely

What do you take as the precedent of Wilson V First County

 

After having a read it seems that the major argument is that the agreement was unenforceable because the £250 was not credit and was added to the loan and therefore the agreement was not correctly executed. Although it does say that the APR was incorrect - this would have been substantially incorrect .

 

Assuming the interest rate charged in Wilson was 50% , the difference in APR was substantially over the 0.1% allowed

If it was say 10% the difference would still be substantially over the 0.1% allowed

 

 

The other problem you have is that if, and it is a big if, you had the agreement ruled as unenforceable , there is no provision for getting the money back. In Wilson, no money had been repaid from what I can see.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

I would love it if you were right but I think you are wrong.

 

 

I stand corrected about Mrs Wilson not paying anything but then of course she was paying to redeem her car as this was in effect a secured loan

 

So have you got as far as issuing claims yet?

 

I assume it will be multitrack

 

I still do not think that the interest rate is enough out to make any difference but ...

 

I really hope your friend has some proper legal advice otherwise she could lose pretty much everything if she loses

 

Yes i know that in a capitalist world, this fear of losing everything is what stops people standing up for their rights but does anyone else, with any credibility agree with you?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

In Wilson the agreement was unenforceable because the credit was incorrect. the prescribed terms of a loan (there are exceptions) are credit and how the credit will be repaid and in addition the document must contain a signature.

 

The issue here is whether the agreement is enforceable. Im waiting on a legal opinion on this, but I believe its unenforceable from years of experience.

I think you may be behind the times

 

For a CCA request there is no obligation to provide a signature as per Carey

 

Even for a pre 2007 agreement there is no obligation to provide a signed document

 

The question a judge will ask is

'On the balance of probabilities, was an agreement containing the PT's signed'

 

The basis of this is several fold but one is that it would be unfair on the creditor to have to provide an original signed agreement in situations such as the Iron Mountain fire

 

An example where this was held, although granted only at county court level is Arrow Global v Frost

 

Even if the account is found to be UE, I doubt the chances of reclaiming the cash, if this is the case then many many people who hold UE agreements would be able to reclaim cash.

 

As I said, I truly hope you can succeed but can you do it in the next 15 months so I can reclaim myself before they go SB

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

This has always been the case as the regs permit this HH Judge Waxman just confirmed this.

Agree see above.

The Judge cannot enforce if the PTs were incorrect and a signature was not obtained. The bank has admitted the document wasn't signed.

Ive never mentioned reclaiming payments. The application would be to determine rights as per the CCA 1974.

 

As I said, I truly hope you can succeed but can you do it in the next 15 months so I can reclaim myself before they go SB

 

The case isn't about reclaiming payments, however, there is a substantial amount of PPI involved from several other loans.

Development today. The banks CCA lawyers are in agreement with my opinion that the agreements are unenforceable.
