    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...
    • Its Gaelic celebration and bonfires today - Beltane Quite fortuitous for tomorrow lets hope
    • look on the bright side - it would allow Biden to do what he likes ...
    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again

    • 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 Egg nog

 

If you are content to accept Egg's decision, thats fine, and best of luck.

However, when you study the Egg letter closely, the fact remains that Egg are acting outside the provisions of CCA197.

Everyone must react as they see fit, but, speaking for myself, I have stood up to them very very firmaly, because I know they have acted outside the provisions of CCA.

For example,

1.Egg are within their rights to refuse your o/h a credit increase.

2.Egg are within their rights to refuse to issue a replacement card when your o/h's current card expires.

3. Egg are NOT acting within their rights when they state to your o/h that Egg has decided to end his credit card facility.

- if it was my I would (and have done) ask Egg to indicate to me which part of CCA1974 provides Egg with entitlement to end my credit card facility.

 

What Egg COULD have done (but didn't!) was to say to your o/h that Egg was restricting the credit facility to zero- the point being that the position was open to being reviewed/altered at a future date (remember that the account still continues to exist).

 

By stating that they are ending the credit card facility, it is just another way of saying they are terminating it (which is NOT cancelling it!)

They cannot "end" or "terminate" the facility, they can only restrict or defer it's credit facility.

 

I am not suggesting you fight them on this, just pointing out some things which are worth thinking about.

By the way, you will find Egg has no answer to the question I have suggested you ask them (Which part of CCA1974...etc etc) BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE!

 

Regards

Peter

 

Hi Peter

 

Many thanks for pointing this out, I see what you mean now. I had wondered about that.

I don't intend to accept what Egg have done as I am not happy with it :)

A formal complaint letter will be sent within the next few days......

I just wanted to make sure I was in the right before taking it further.

Thanks again.

...............but speaking personally, I do not pay a penny until a dispute is resolved. I set everything out in writing, and make it clear that interest charges arising since the start of the dispute are caused by their delay in resolving the dispute, and they should not be continuing collection activities anyway, whilst the dispute is continuing. Also, if you make a repayment offer, request that interest be suspended, so as not to cause your overindebtedness to Egg to be increased. Dont pay anything until agreement is reached. I am just telling you what I do. - It might not be right for your situation. The main thing is LETTERS ONLY.

Peter

 

I have 'disputed' my Egg agreement, (by special delivery), also asking by what mechanism in CCA1974 they ended my agreement last year (I mentioned only after quoting 'approved' instead of 'credit' limit).

 

They haven't responded yet - except to tell me I've cancelled my DD!

 

I also pointed out DNs and default entries to my credit file were a no-no whilst in dispute.

 

Have Egg issued DNs to you?

Yes, Egg sent me a default notice AFTER they claimed to have terminated my account!

From what I can gather you now have some choices to make:

 

  1. Sit back and ignore it (assuming you don't mind your credit file trashed!).
     
  2. Wait until they take you to court and defend it.
     
  3. Take them to court to get a declaration of unenforceability.

I've got a feeling that Egg has finally accepted defeat in my case.

I just kept politely asking them to indicate to me the relevant section of CCA 1974 which provided them with legal entitlement to terminate my Egg agreement (which had not been in default).

 

I have not heard from them since I sent a letter 15th January to their solicitor, on the lines of

"In the course of preparing a County Court Claim on behalf of your client xxxxxxxxxx Ltd you will have become aware that the debt claimed by your client is disputed by me.

As you know, paragraph 2.8k of the oft Debt Collection Guidance of July 2003, updated in December 2006, makes it clear that collection activity must cease whilst investigating a disputed debt. I look forward to the results of your investigation.

In the event that the dispute between Egg banking and myself is put before a court for adjudication, I will draw the court's attention to the following points.

1.Both you and your client xxxxxxxxxxltd, although fully aware that the debt is disputed, have continued collection activity in breach of paragraph 2.8k of the OFT Debt Collection Guidance.

 

2.I also consider that the way in which your cllient has exercised his rights under the agreement amount to an unfair relationship in terms of section 140 of CCA 1974.

 

(I go on to make numerous related points)

 

As the solictors acting for xxxxxxxxLtd you will be aware that the credit card agreement between Egg and myself is governed by CCA 1974, therefore I would be grateful if you would indicate to me the relevant section of the Act which provides Egg with legal entitlement to terminate my Egg agreement with effect from 6th March 2008.

In the event that this matter is put before a court I will draw the court's attention to the manner in which xxxxxxxxxxxxx Solicitors have dealt with the dispute between Egg and myself, particularly in relation to,

CCA 1974

Data Protection Act 1998

OFT Debt Collection Guidance

Solicitors Code of Conduct 2007

Credit services Association Code of Practice

 

 

That is a condensed version of what I wrote to Egg.

No response yet.

I was terminated by egg, then defaulted, then terminated again.

 

My initial intention as you are aware was to take egg to court for the payments taken since they originally terminated me without default.

 

As they now seem to have gone quiet I, for the time being, will move on to others............

It would seem that the Government's toxic debt insurance scheme, may be a cleverly disguised way of writing-off a large part of the UK's consumer debt.

 

After all, if all our money is going on repaying the horrendous debt that we have, then it is not going into other areas of the economy.

 

We'll never recover if that is that case.

 

Think we are starting to see the winding up of what will be many credit card companies.

I think you could be right Eddie, but it would be nice if they wrote the debts off properly, instead of selling them onto those total chancers we call DCAs, who will then try and hound people for the original full amounts.

 

Having said that, we know about the puritanical views of certain sections of the press when it comes to debt, and the idea that people with a mountain of credit card will be let off the hook, whereas the responsible savers are losing out, blah blah blah.

 

But it is probably the case that many "sub-prime" credit card customers are the very 'spenders' who could get the economy going again but who, as you say, are now the people struggling to repay the 'horrendous' debt.

If people get spending again, interest rates will go up, shares will go up, so the savers and investors will win.

 

If consumers spend the next 10 - 15 years paying-off debt; then everyone suffers.

 

A lot of big mistakes made, and wiping the debt slate clean is the only hope for the UK economy.

I had a nice little letter from them following my request for them to justify the decision to raise interest rates a month before terminating my agreement. Apparently section 17 gives them the right to do that, although I'd suggested that it was an unfair practice in that it would appear they have done that as a matter of course to a large percentage (if not all) of the 100,000 customers whose accounts they have closed.

 

Anyone else complaining to them about this?

So sorry about the delay, I have only just found this amongst all my paperwork, and someone asked me to put it up so they could compare-not that you guys need any further help, but it might make you feel better about going down this road.

 

This is the letter they sent me to stop my card without ending my agreement-damn.

Of course, if anyone can find any leverage in it ( I wasn't in default), and it adds weight to my "credit" limit argument, I'm all ears-good luck guys.

 

If it was me, I would write to Egg something on the lines of:

Dear Sir or Madam

 

Re: Ending by Egg of my Egg credit card facility.

 

Thank you for your letter dated 05 December 2008.

 

As you are aware, both my Egg credit card facility and the actions of Egg as the creditor in respect of that credit card facility are regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Therefore, in order that I can provide a fully informed response to the points raised by Egg in it's letter to me dated 05 December 2008, I would be grateful if Egg would indicate to me the relevant section of the Act which provides Egg with legal entitlement to end my Egg credit card facility.

 

In the meantime, I will suspend all payments to Egg out of my account xxxxxxxxxxxx until such time as this matter is resolved, as it would appear that Egg has breached the Egg card agreement made between Egg and myself.

 

I would be grateful for a prompt response to this letter, in order that the matter can be speedily resolved and my monthly payments to Egg resumed without interruption.

 

Yours etc.

You are more than welcome Bigeddie, I knew I had kept it somewhere. I hope it does indeed provide even more ammo.

Now Toymaker, it makes for very interesting reading, I have been trying to (yet again) read the CCA and cannot for the life of me find where it allows them to do just this.

 

The account is already formally in dispute as per "credit" wording, so the next time I send them a letter-I am trying to compile my "bring it on" letter this will most certainly form a large part of the complaint.

 

Althoough I haven't made any payments for a couple of months now since I started down this road, it was in perfect condition at the time.

 

 

Thanks Guys.

 

 

 

Couple of letters for the relevant authorities to do tomorrow.

, I have been trying to (yet again) read the CCA and cannot for the life of me find where it allows them to do just this.

 

The reason you cannot find where it allows them (i.e.Egg) to do just this (i.e. end your credit facility when youre account was not in default) is that there ISN'T anywhere in CCA that allows them to do it!

 

In CCA you will find where it allows them to LIMIT your credit card facility, or to DEFER it, but nowhere does it allow them to END (i.e terminate) it.
