Please help with my petition to the Prime Minister

 

To stop banks, credit companies and debt collection agencies from exploiting the provisions of the Insolvency Act 1986, concerning the service of Statutory Demands, which they are using to bypass the due process of the County Courts by placing alleged debtors under threat of bankruptcy for non-payment of debts which have not been proven in Court and/or in respect of which the alleged debtors means to pay has not been assessed by the Court.

 

 

 

As those of us who try to help people who are in financial difficulties know all too well, "Statutory Demands" are being used far too regularly by debt collectors to force people who cannot afford to pay their debts or who have genuine disputes concerning them to beg, borrow (at extortionate rates) or even steal in order to fend off the threat of impending bankruptcy. Statutory Demands do not even require the debt collector to have proven that the debt is legitimate, nor do they require him to make an application to the Court - requiring just the service of a notice by normal post in connection with any debt in excess of £750 AND yet, conversely, they place an unfair obligation on any alleged debtor who disputes the validity of such a debt or who does not have the means to pay to make an application to the Court himself to set-aside the Statutory Demand and to ask the Court for it's assistance and protection.

 

When the County Courts have a perfectly adequate system for settling disputes about agreements which are regulated under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 this is an abhorrent failure by our legal system and by our consumer protection legislation.

 

I have set up a petition on the website of 10 Downing Street under the title "StatutoryDemands" to increase the threshold at which such Statutory Demands can be served in the case of regulated consumer credit agreements which have not been proven as judgement debts and if you agree with me that change is needed please sign the petition at the following address:

Thank you for your help and support.

A Call for Action

MB, at present there are actions afoot concerning the main "abusers" of this process.

Unfortunately, the OFT aren't the fastest of organisations so this may well be a drawn out process.

Abuse of this process is a serious issue and will likely have effects on the company's ability to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

I urge anyone that has received a SECOND class statutory demand to report the sender to Trading Standards for starters.

 

If it is sent from RED debt/Lowells then I am very interested as I am currently working with TS concerning this issue.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

I rang my local court recently and they said they had no record of any stat demand against me. It was my local court I had to contact? I got mine second class post from Lowell/Red. Any advice?

What sort of world do you want your kids to grow up in?

Stat demands are not issued by the court - anyone can issue them - you can download them. However the important point is that if you do not apply to have it set aside the creditor can then go straight for bankruptcy proceedings without any need for a CCJ or any court process, as they have effectively proved the debt.

 

However if you can throw up enough smoke screens and counterclaims it is very unlikely that a judge will allow a bankruptcy to proceed.

So whilst it seems that DCAs are abusing the SD process - and yes I will sign the petition - DO NOT IGNORE A STAT DEMAND.

Does this mean that no court has to be informed when a creditor issues a stat demand?

 

I will certainly sign the petition as well.

Yes renegotiation that is exactly the situation. The first the court hears of it is when the creditor issues bankruptcy petition and uses SD as the evidence that he has proved the debt.

Ok. No wonder they are being confettied. I thought it cost them £30 to initially issue it or something. By the way, I think there is a new company on the block called 'Midas' :shock: :shock: :shock: . Maybe Goldlady is the one to tell them who's boss? :) :) :) GOLDLADY!

I have had similar from Connaught in Feb and had them set-aside on the basis that they were posted (and not hand delivered) and not correctly completed. You can download forms from England and Wales Forms

 

You have 18 days to respond from date of receipt. If it was by post you can make up date of receipt.

 

YOU MUST LOOK TO SET-ASIDE ALL STATUTORY DEMANDS. ONCE THE 21 DAYS IS UP THEN DCA CAN PETITION FOR BANKRUPTCY.

 

My defence was as follows:

 

I was sent a statutory demand by post dated 11 February 2008 that I received on 12 February 2008 from Connaught Collections UK Ltd on behalf of 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd for an amount of £1,424.48 relating to a debt that they had supposedly purchased from the Bank of Scotland.

I have written to Connaught Collections UK Ltd asking them to prove that 1st Credit (Finance) Ltd are the legal owners of the Bank of Scotland debt and if so, to prove the calculation of the debt. I have not had a written reponse so far.

I attach my last statement from Bank of Scotland that I believe it relates, account number 123 031 49205.

I faxed Connaught Collections UK Ltd on 26 February 2008 asking for an update on this statutory demand and they rang yesterday (28 February 2008) to say they would be writing to confirm that they would withdraw this demand. I have as yet received nothing.

I therefore do not admit the debt owing to 1st Credit (Finance) Limited as I have no proof that their supposed debt specifically relates to the Halifax debt noted above and and even if I did I cannot reconcile their balance to the last balance stated by the Bank of Scotland.

I therefore ask for it to be set aside.

"there are actions afoot concerning the main "abusers" of this process".

More information and proof please!

If you read the original post, you can see it's something that is on-going that may or may not bear fruit. I'm sorry you haven't been consulted
