    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • AMEX and TSB the 2 Creditors who you need to worry about the least, ever!  Just stop paying them and forget about it, ignore all their threat o gram letters.  Only if, and with these 2 it's a massive if, you end up with a claim form you need to respond, and there will be plenty of help here.
    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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.

Hi can anyone help. Have been driving down the same street once in a while for years as i know someone who lives there. A couple of weeks ago i drive down the street to find a police van at the top of the road and the women inside it waving at me. I drove down to the house that i was visiting which was a few houses away from the van and tell the owner jokingly that i must have done something wrong as there is a police woman beckoning me and she is still waving at me. I walk up the road to see what is the matter and she points to a sign above her van which is a no entry sign and tells me i have commited an unlawful act by driving into a no entry road. She then proceeds to ask my details as she says she needs to send me a ticket. to cut a long story short i ask her why she cant give me a ticket on the spot and she tells me that she has no ticket book. After getting my details and promising to send me the ticket she tells me to get off as she has work to do....

 

The next day 4 policemen come to my house to interview me and issue me with court proceedings for Failure to comply with the indication given by a no entry sign lawfully placed on or near a road. When i asked them why couldnt i just have a ticket they said that the PSCO who stopped me could not give me a ticket.

 

My beef is this - ok i drove down a temporary one way street (the next week they had removed the signs and all was back to normal) i can deal with that and a ticket but can anyone out there tell me why i am being taken to court and have to pay all the associated costs with going to court because the PCSO did not have her ticket book on her she confirms in her statement i received that she wanted to confirm my name and address in order so she could send the ticket to the right person and address. Can a special constable issue a traffic ticket? if so why did she not have her ticket book on her? Do people think its right or wrong that i should go straight to court! Obviously i am biased because its me that it has happened to so would like valid opinions. I would also like to add that if i hadnt been looking at the blooming police van i would probably have noticed the no entry sign.

On the other hand, if you were promised an FPN and you find yourelf now being presented with court proceedings thi could constitute an abuse of process.

 

If you have indeed received the summons then I would urge you to go and see a solicitor. If you cannot afford to hire one privately then on the day you may attend court and ask to speak to the duty solicitor.

 

Suggest to them, if indeed it is true, that you were told you'd receive a ticket and that you agreed with the PCSO, if indeed you did, that the matter would be dealt with that way.

 

The police may not give people tickets or say they're going to give people tickets and then deal with them another way unless the defendant has failed themselves to comply with some requirement.

 

I'd argue you were promised a ticket and then having been so promised and lulled into a sense of security about the outcome (as one would be) you were ambushed by a mass of officers, sending four people to deal with traffic is ridiculous. Therefrom you were questioned, you believed the said questions to be routine as you had been promised a ticket by the PCSO, iagain if this is true. You provided your accound believing you would still be dealt with by way of a ticket, if that is true, and then you were told you were being reported, totally contrary to what you had been promised the previous day.

 

That sounds unfair, it sounds like an induced confession which could potentially be excluded under S76 or S78 PACE and to proceed would be an abuse of process.

 

If you feel that to be the case and feel like fighting it then run that past your brief on the day.

Hi thankyou for you answers.

 

What should i put on the forms that i have to send back to the courthouse. There are several options - attend court and plead guilty, attend court and plead not guilty, i wont be attending court and plead guilty. Obviously i am guilty of the offense but there is no checkbox for attend court, plead guilty and then complain about the court charges etc.

 

Just to clarify it was a PCSO that told me she would be sending me a ticket. On the witness statements also it was noted that i asked twice why they could not give me a ticket there and then but the reply that was given to me was not noted on the witness statements however it does state that i had to confirm name and address so i could be sent the ticket to the correct address so that rather confirms that she couldnt or wouldnt give me a ticket there and then but her intentions at that time was to send me one.

Hi another quick question is it usual to receive a summons as i did on the 8th December post date marked 6th December for court appearance date 19th December it really does not give me a lot of time to get my act together on this. As i cannot even start to deal with it until tomorrow monday 10th December as solicitors do not operate weekends so only 9 days to act?

Get a local solicitor to advise you from this point on. These items are food for thought and I think that trying to advise you about this over the internet beyond a general overview is not wise.

That's normal. Instruct local solicitors and give them the idea above.
