    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise
    • Right that's exactly why so many drivers got caught, it had been that way for many years then suddenly changes with no warning
    • The hearing is 25th June, I have downloaded items to different organisations previously but they do it a simple way and I just cross out private things with a felt tip and sent to an email address.  I have looked at the instructions for CAG it seems extremely complicated especially this about having to use a system MSPAINT.EXE that removes your personal information. I am hoping one of my Grandchildren understands things to give me help, I have shown one of my daughters she said she does not understand the instructions. I have a PC and I mainly use a lap top, as previously advised I only understand the straightforward things, sending an email and using my scanner to send a document that I save in a file or send it to an email. I will try and find someone to help me, thanks for your help you have given me so far appreciate it        
    • Yes, it would. Especially as they are supposed to put up extra signs to show that parking restrictions have changed, which of course they won't have done.
    • Right would that be grounds for a dismissal right there then, 90 seconds?! Lookingforinfo - you're getting crossed wires buddy, we're in the hospital thread here, the ICO complaint was my other appeal the Locton estate one   Regards

    • 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 friends

 

I am in dispute with Crapital One as they are pursuing me for an alleged credit card debt but have not provided me with a properly executed copy of a Consumer Credit Agreement so far. I've had nothing but dodgy application forms, blank terms & conditions etc.

 

As you are all dealing with Crap One I thought you might like to have a read on my thread of the little gems I have received today ;)

Keep on fighting!!! :D

:D Hiya friends

 

Well the "correspondence" which I was promised when these bozos phoned up and I refused to talk to them has now arrived.

 

Its the usual threatening letter stating that Crapital One have passed the alleged debt to them (which should not have happened as this alleged debt is still in dispute with CrapOne and TS are involved:mad:). Threats that if it is not paid in full within 10 days then it will be sent to Bryan Carter & Co Solicitors for litigation proceedings........hmm I seem to recognise that name from this site ;):D

 

I have duly sent off to Fredricksons a copy of the original CCA to CrapOne from way back in spring last year together with a copy of the letter to CrapOne advising the consequences of their default which followed later, and suggested Fredericksons peruse said enclosed correspondence in depth, then advise me in writing that the matter is closed.

 

Meantime I WILL be updating TS with a copy of Fredrickson's letter.........as this blatant disregard for procedure by CrapOne is a joke which is not funny!

If you get a letter from Carter it will be from a spotty youth one place down on the production line at the hi-tech offices in de havilland drive, Weighbridge.

 

But if you do get, and the matter is still in dispute, pop it in an envelope along with a note of complaint to the solicitors supervisors office in Leamington. They are getting to know all about Mr Carter.

Cap One unfortunately do this all the time. Remember to complain and keep complaining until you get a result.

Fredericksons have written back to say they have noted the contents of my letter to them and have referred the matter back to their Client. They will revert back to me once they have instructions, and in the meantime have placed the account on hold :)

 

Interesting to see how far CrapOne think they can push this now!!

 

I'll post back when I hear anything else. I'll bear in mind what you say N.P., if there is any contact from Mr Carter and his cronies!

Hiya friends :)

 

Well CrapOne have now written to me stating they are no longer dealing with my account and "It has been sold to Fredricksons International - they will be contacting you shortly".

 

Well I already know that BUT basically they have sold this account on although it is in dispute and they know they cannot provide a CCA - and now they have confirmed it in writing!

 

This case is with TS already and I've not heard anything back from them for a while. I think its time I updated TS on what the bozos are up to what say you guys?????

 

Oh, not heard anything from Fredericksons since they wrote back and said they were referring back to their Client either ;)

:rolleyes: well I heard from them today - they caught me unawares on the phone and I broke my own golden rule of not discussing matters.

 

I thought the girl sounded quite pleasant so decided to give her the benefit of the doubt...what a big mistake :mad:

 

Once she got in full flow she was constantly interrupting me telling me I had to pay them and refused to let me speak, so the phone went down.

 

I'm kicking myself now as I shouldn't have entered into a conversation with them in the first place (SG kicks her own rear LOL) :p

 

Anyhow I won't be making the same mistake again!

:rolleyes: I have now received a very threatening letter before action from these clowns!

 

I can't help but wonder what paperwork they are relying on, because they have certainly not sent anything to me by way of proof of this alleged debt despite a CCA request eons ago!

 

Will keep you posted.

Ooh Rory, I'll have to try that one on Red!

 

I've just SAR Crap1 even though I had a CCJ from them. Lowell are on the case with it, but I was conned by CAB to answer and admit the first part of this debt, I won't do that now!

Hi Spiritgirl

 

Thanks for your continuing help with YB.

Would you be able to have a look at my other thread for me.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/146601-mtb-halifax.html?highlight=spiritgirl

 

I have received court papers with this one . I have acknowledged but there are a few points I am unsure about with the defence.

Hiya friends :)

 

LOL I spoke too soon ... on DMD's thread I said all was quiet :p

 

Got a letter this morning from Crapital One to tell me that the alleged account is no longer with the DCA who were acting on their behalf and has been returned to them so it is "important that I continue making payments" to Crapital One. Yeah...right :rolleyes:

 

So that's Fredericksons bitten the dust - lets see where it goes to next!!

Hi ya Spiritgirl

 

Another one bites the dust.

 

Thanks again for looking at my other thread regarding Halifax. I did get loads of advise and help and I have put a defence in.

I have offered another F&F.

After checking the application form again, I have noticed they have put 2 different account numbers on it, and both don't match the account number that they are taking me to court with, so I think we have got a bit more to fight them with, fingers crossed.

 

Thanks
