    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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 to everyone one out there.

 

I received a letter from capquest on 18/03/2008 saying they had purchased debt from littlewoods and they were demanding £xxx.xx, and if i did not contact them within 2 weeks it would be passed to their solicitors.

 

I replied with a cca request enclosing £1.00 PO. today i received a reply saying they had requested the documents from littlewoods, meanwhile i have been selected for a pilot scheme, and is as follows.

 

"the pilot scheme consists of offering you a one off settlement amount to clear this account by xx/xx/xxxx. we are offering you a saving of xx% on the balance of your account.

To accept this offer please contact us on 0870 084 3535"

 

after considering this for about 1 second i'm just going to wait and see what they come up with next.

 

has anyone else been offered this "pilot scheme"?

Hi there oldman,

I had a simimilar offer from Morcroft D/A that was also from littlewoods.

I am going for charges and PPI mis selling as it works out to be more than the amount I owe. It seems I may have been the only person in the world who actually signed a credit agreement so I cant CCA them (bummer).

 

Good Luck

They haven't yet sent you a CCA so at the moment they haven't proved you owe them anything. I'd let their pilot scheme fly to the nearest bin until they have complied with your request, if they ever do.

I had a letter from them with a crazy scheme direct from the company director .. yea right !!! :)...

 

My Crazy scheme was as follows

 

1, I can pay them an amount that suits me (how about £1.00)

 

2, they will remove all interest since they took the account and no more interest added, (the interest adds to about £2000 of a £9000 debt, rather alot I think and probably illegal)

 

3, with each payment I make they will credit my acount with an amount equivalent to 30% of the payment

 

Very inventive .... MUPPETS :)

Don't bin it - file it ;)

 

OLIVE.FAMILY Have they sent you a true copy of your CCA, if not they may not have it even if you do recall signing it;even then it may not be enforceable.

 

Hi ya

I dont want to hijack this thread. I have started my own here

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/136661-littlewoods-say-no.html

 

but yes i am afraid it was def signed by me. I even used a computer signature to sign the sar request so they couldnt take that. As you will be able to see from my thread I am trying other things.

hi all,

My wife had a very heavy letter today from capquest threatening legal action as from 1st April . The amount owed £71 dating from 1993 littlewoods catalogue. Thing is she hasn't ever had a catalogue.So I went straight on the net found this sight and lots of other people with similar case.Ive posted off the letter posted on here stating all the legal jargon,so hopefully that should be the end of it?

Hi

 

They must be sending out random letters, as my mum received a letter today (threatening legal action and sending around baliffs) from Capquest regarding a littlewoods Catalogue, the amount owed £100 dating from 1990 she has never had this catalogue and she didn't even live at this address in 1990, the best thing was they wanted her to phone them by 26th march and the letter was dated 27th march.

Hi, these DCA's ars so predictable, you can tell what their next letter will be , especially after reading different threads on this forum. Do they think that we'd accept a substantial "discount" on an alleged debt that we know is not ours! Just by offering that we can tell that they're starting to get desperate, as they know only too well, that they're up against somebody that is going to fight back,and especially as they dont have the correct documentation to back up their claim's.

Hi again folks, I would like to ask a question about defaults on my credit report. I've noticed that on my CR I have 2 entries for the same alledged debt! 1st is from Legal Direct Recs(aka Littlewoods Finance) and the 2nd is for Cakquest, both the same amounts, but Cakquests default date is 1 day before LDR. Is this normal? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks:???:

P.S I've had no contact from LDR but the normal cak from Cakquest as I've said in previous posts, thanks again.

:confused: Hi people. Capquest defaulted( 12 + 2 days) on the 11/04/08, then the 30 days passed on the 11/05/08. I've had no correspondance from them since their kind offer of the "pilot scheme" on the 29/03/08.

I had a look at my credit file on Experian today and guess what? My "account" is still defaulted but is down as settled since the 11/05/08 :confused:

Now, I've had no letter saying that they can't obtain the original cca and that they were going to mark this on my credit file.

So, I was just needing advice on what I should do next? I was thinking of writing to them and telling them that as they'd not provided me with my cca they couldn't process any of my private data and therefore should remove anything to do with me from their own files and also all 3 CRA's.

This from Zubo's thread:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/consumer-forums-website-questions/79147-consumer-credit-act-resources.html

Hello! Dear Plonker

 

CA 1974 (Consumer Credit Act)

 

As you are aware, I wrote to you on day/month/year requesting you supply me with the relevant information, which is my legal right under section 77-79 of the CCA 1974. You had 12 days plus 30 days inclusive of holidays and weekends (ie until day/month) to respond to me with the information.

 

This time has passed and you have now committed a Criminal Offence under the said Act and it is my intention to report you for this criminal conduct to the appropriate authorities (Then do it in writing to TS & the Police. Don't make empty threats)

I also understand that under the Act, due to your failure to comply with my statutory request you or any acting agent are unable to enforce an agreement therefore I am ceasing any further payments forthwith and will seek to recover any payments made to date (assuming your making any)

 

 

Data Protection Act (Data Protection Act 1998

 

Furthermore under the Data Protection Act (D10), you are also denied the authority to pass on any of my personal data. To do so in the circumstances is I understand a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998, and also the OFT guidelines, and should you ignore my request it would again result in you being further reported to the relevant authorities.

 

 

I also require that you remove all my data from your files within the next 7 days and look forward to receiving a letter from you within 10 days confirming that you have complied with this request.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Mr. Stuff You

RESULT

sent capquest a threat-a-gram of my own telling them to remove all data from their systems and all C.R.A'S AS they had not supplied me with a CCA and i wanted my £1 back.

Yesterday i recieved a copy of their complaint handling procedure and i thought ok a nother letter to go off to them'

This morning i recieved a letter from from them saying "Capquest have now removed your details from our system and no further correspondence will be sent. We have instructed the relevant department to instruct the CRA'S to completely delete the details relating to this accountfrom your credit file and acheque for £1 will be sent to you in due course"

I would like to say a big big thank you for everyone's help and advice

C.A.G ROCKS
