    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • 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.

    • 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.

I am currently being chased by Randle & co Ltd for my council tax.

I have had a few letters through the post , all stating that my goods will be removed to clear the outstanding debts.

 

On returning home a few weeks ago, i had through the letter box, a rather tatty brown envelope, on the front was printed PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL

URGENT DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY HAND.

 

On the left written, by hand, in red ink was: ref: ****** date #-#-##

Er no, not on a tatty brown envelope.

 

If it's the first visit £24.50, and if it's the second visit £18.00, but that's only if they actually did visit, they can't charge for posting letters out, and they can't turn up with a van unless you've let them in before.

 

I've been on this site since November (http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bailiffs/120845-rossendales-final-reminder-i.html) and everyone keeps saying the same thing.

The members of this site will do all they can to help you, just like they've helped me.

 

The bailiffs don't really want to take anything, they would rather scare you into agreeing to let them into your house! They will say anything to get you to do that.

 

Right now they haven't got the right to enter your house - you don't have to let them in. So long as you keep the doors and windows locked so they can't sneak in through an open window or door they don't have the right of entry.

 

And park your car away from the house so they can't levy on that either.

 

By the way, I believe the bailiffs are off until Jan 2nd or 4th when our barricades will go back up, so hope you had a happy christmas, and enjoy the new year party; we will.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Chris.

Many thanks for your reply,i think my 3 dogs barking will put them off trying to get in , then there is my three teenage kid's... ! :D

 

I am in the process of sending off a letter to Randle & co , advising them that i am a single parent on income support, and asking them to refer the account back to my local council, in the hope that i can have payments taken direct from my benefit. Do you know if i can insist they take payments this way?

Any advise would be greatfully received, thank you in advance

I do believe that the arrears can be taken from your benefits at a set amount per week. Not 100% sure on this, but someone will correct me Im sure.

Tip us a wink on my scales if you think I may have helped at all;)

Absolutely right!, I was in this position for years, that's why my liability orders go back to 1997.

 

Don't quote me but it goes something like this.

If you're on income support the council will apply for an attachment of earnings and take around £3 a week.

 

But you have to stay on top of your benefits and make sure there are no gaps. That was my mistake, there are periods for which I can't now prove I was entitled to the Council Tax Benefit, that's why I've got such a big bill with the bailiffs now I'm no longer on benefit.

 

Also, I believe you fall into the "Vulnerable" person category, and you may be able to force the council to cancel the bailiffs.

 

Someone will be able to share the exact info that you need, but you do need to read the posts because that'll give you the confidence to face a bailiff if you have to and tell him to b*gger off with style and confidence.

 

Hope that helps,

 

Chris

Many thanks for your replys!

I have been reading all the post's and its really helped me no end! I have had Rundle's on my back for the last 11 months or so, and have just buried my head, i would'nt answer the door, or open their letters. I now feel confident enough to open my door and tell them to Foxtrot Oscar with style AND confidence ! This site is brilliant! Its nice to know im not the only one with Bailiffs knocking on the door, and the advice is second to none!

Thanks to all of you who has offered me advice.
