    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hope this is in the right place if not please move to correct area. Sorry for the long post

 

Ok 2003 I gets my mortgage and also my ppi with Scottish Provident. At the time I completed an application form and answered no to the following questions....

 

Have you consulted your doctor and been advised to have an operation, check up xray or investigation in the last 3 years with the exception of minor ailments

 

and

 

Have you suffered from arthritis, or any back, spine or other recurrent joint injury.

 

Anyway I was off my work for 5 months till Feb this year with an anxiety disorder and I put in a claim and today recieved a letter stating that they had recieved my doctors report and would like me to write explaining why I ommited the following as your claim could be void

 

1. I was referred to a cardiologist in 2003 with a history of cardiac dysrythmia (what??) where I had investigations and I was found to be suffering from sinus tachycardia (was I???)

 

and

 

2. I attended my gp on more than 1 occasion with neck pain and it was discovered I was suffering from neck prolapse (What???)and I was prescribed painkillers.

 

Ok here is my version of events.

 

1. In 2003 I felt lethargic and dizzy I went to docs who advised to rest and come back I went back feeling better he sent me to hospital as a precautionary measure to be checked I went for the check went back to the docs who said everything ok however if I continued to feel unwell I "could" be prescribed beta blockers, which I never was prescribed nor took as I felt better. End of As far as I was concerned I was fine, maybe had had a virus and this would not ever affect me again - which it hasn't

 

2. I fell off a horse hurt my neck went to the doc who said I had muscle spasms prescribed anti inflammatory tablets I saw him a further 2 times as he wanted to make sure as it was a neck/shoulder injury anti inflammatory tablets worked pain went end of story. (and anyway since when were muscle spasms a joint disorder???)

 

As both these conditions were in my opinion both non recurring one off and needed no further treatment I didnt mention them as to be honest they were so insignificant it didnt even occur to me.

 

I have phoned my doc today but he is off and someone will call me back as apparently I have 3 medical conditions or have had 3 medical conditions I knew nothing about which is in itself a bit bloomin scary. But more importantly does anyone have any advice on how to respond in writing to this letter from Scottish Provident.

 

Please

 

Thankyou

I think first of all you must see your GP and show him the letter you have received from the Insurance company. He/she can explain the content of the letter they have written to the Insurance company. Once you have that information you will be better informed to enable you to make your claim with Scottish Provident. :)

1 - Cardiac dysrhythmia is the accurate medical term for an irregular or abnormal heart rate.

 

2 - There is no such thing as a neck prolapse. You could have a disc prolapse, or a neck injury, but not a neck prolapse.

 

Here, fishy, fishy, fishy. SP are fishing away, see what they can catch or maybe scare away with those long scary words. :rolleyes:

 

CitizenB is quite correct. Go see your GP and get him/her to clarify what is in your notes and how that relates to SP's letter.

 

On the dark side: "investigation" covers a multitude of things and if you went to a cardiologist for tests, it does come under investigation, and anything related to the heart will not come under "minor" ailments, although if the tests showed nothing serious, that should be arguable. Secondly, if you hurt your neck after a fall, then it may come under spinal injury, and that should have been disclosed.

 

The reassuring (believe it or not) part is that if they are using long complicated words, it means they are trying to make it sound worse than it was and seems to indicate they are not sure of their grounds.

 

See your GP, get an explanation, get back to SP, if they turn you down, don't muck about, straight to the FOS.

Sinus tachycardia simply means that you have an elevated heartrate - that ism, the heart is beating faster than usual. It most cases it is a perfectly normal cardiac rythm - most of us have experienced it - after exercise, for example. It's part of the 'fight or flight' response, and it's also often a feature of anxiety.

 

If it appeared on the ECG screen when someone was lying in the street having collapsed with chest pain, I'd suspect that it may be indicative of something more serious such as acute myocardioal infarct.

 

In this case, I'd suggest that one episode of sinus tachycardia, which was investigated as a precaution and has not recurred, could be viewed as a minor ailment.

Thanks guys. The GP who I actually saw at the time of the 2 disputed points was unavailable but I spoke with my own GP (who wrote the report) He advised that after requesting a report about my current condition (the one I am claiming for) they wrote back to hiom and asked him for any treatments I had recieved in the 3 years prior to November 2003 (date of signing application) He therefore advised them of the disputed events and also a bout of flu. He advised me that none of the conditions are serious and that a neck proplapse refers to a slipped disc - however at the time I was treated for muscle spasms (not the same)

 

I have written a letter but wondered if someone could advise of its content or improve it

 

Here is the content

 

Dear Mr XXXXX

 

Thank-you for your letter dated 15th April. I tried to call you today, however the number at the top of your letter and in the second last paragraph – XXXXXXXXXXX, appears to be a help desk or service desk number. I apologise that there seems to be discrepancies between my original application and the information you have obtained from my medical records, however I would like to say that the information you provided me with was quite disturbing as I had no knowledge of any of the 3 conditions I have been described as suffering from, and therefore I have contacted my GP to discuss these matters.

 

I agree that in 2003 (perhaps the June) I was advised to have a check up at the hospital, having been to see the doctor with fatigue, dizziness and nausea. I do not recall how long I felt unwell, so cannot confirm if this was the 6 week period you refer to. When I returned to the doctor for the same condition and reported feeling better, he suggested a check up at the hospital just to ensure “it was nothing more than a virus”. I saw someone, but had no idea they were a cardiologist, as your letter states, and he stated that there were no problems, I had a slightly increased heart rate and pulse, but that was due to the fact I was attending an unfamiliar place and doctor, and this was a normal response, often known as “white coat syndrome”. He said he would send a letter to my doctor. I then had my follow up appointment, where my doctor confirmed there was no obvious cause for concern, and stated if I continued to feel unwell, I could take a course of tablets (perhaps the beta blockers you refer to). However, I never took these tablets, the check up had proved I was healthy, I continued to feel well and therefore assumed it was a virus and that this therefore was considered a minor ailment, which I truly felt there was no need to mention on the application form. It was, in my opinion, the same as me having, say, the flu.

 

In your second point you indicate I have suffered from a neck prolapse, again I am unaware of this condition or even what this is. In 2003 I fell off a horse and went to the doctors with a sore neck and was prescribed medication, anti-inflammatory tablets I believe. My neck pain reduced, it became better and I assumed that was that, my doctor did ask me to come back on 2 or 3 occasions as he said you can never be too careful with neck or back injuries, had it not been for this I would have just finished the tablets and continued with daily life. Again, I did not feel that this was a major illness nor arthritis nor any back, spine or other recurrent joint disorder. I understood I had pulled a muscle, which with rest and time had healed. Therefore, I believed that I was telling the truth and not withholding any relevant information on the application form.

 

 

I hope this information is useful and will allow you to recognise that I was unaware that I had any of these conditions and truly felt that any illness I had experienced was short term one off minor conditions.

 

Yours Sincerely

Managed to speak to my doctor who stated that Sinus tachycardia is not a medical condition (phew) and that unless I had been rigged to a heart monitor which I hadn't, then a diagnosis of cardiac disrhythmia for 6 weeks is innaccurate and there is no such thing as neck prolapse so I have put together another letter can anyone tell me what they think?

 

Dear XXXXXX

 

Thank-you for your letter dated 15th April. I tried to call you today, however the number at the top of your letter and in the second last paragraph – XXXXX, appears to be a help desk or service desk number. I apologise that there seems to be discrepancies between my original application and the information you have obtained from my medical records, however I would like to say that the information you provided me with was quite disturbing as I had no knowledge of any of the 3 conditions I have been described as suffering from, and therefore I immediately contacted my GP to discuss these matters and would now like to clarify the points you raised.

 

I agree that in 2003 (perhaps the June) I was advised to have a check up at the hospital, having been to see the doctor with fatigue, dizziness and nausea. I do not recall how long I felt unwell, so cannot confirm if this was the 6 week period you refer to. When I returned to the doctor for the same condition and reported feeling better, he suggested a check up at the hospital just to ensure it was nothing more than a virus. I saw someone, but had no idea they were a cardiologist, as your letter states, and he stated that there were no problems, I had a slightly increased heart rate and pulse, but that was due to the fact I was attending an unfamiliar place and doctor, and this was a normal response, often known as “white coat syndrome”. He stated he would report his findings to my doctor. I then had my follow up appointment once my doctor received this report, where my doctor confirmed there was no obvious cause for concern, and stated if I continued to feel unwell, I could take a course of tablets (perhaps the beta blockers you refer to). However, I never took these tablets, the check up had proved I was healthy, I continued to feel well and therefore assumed it was a virus and that this therefore was considered a minor ailment, which I truly felt there was no need to mention on the application form. It was, in my opinion, the same as me having, say, the flu.

 

Having spoken to my GP today, he informed me that in order to state that I suffered "Cardiac disrythmia" for a period of 6 weeks I would have had to undergo monitoring for the period involved as this would be the only way to conclude I had suffered an irregular heartbeat, as quite often people feel this is the case when it is actually just a perception e.g. "pounding heart" or "my heart missed a beat", when in fact if the heart beat of such individuals is monitored it proves to be entirely normal. So without undergoing a six week monitoring period, which I had not undergone, it is impossible to state I was suffering from "cardiac disrythmia". Furthermore he went on to clarify “sinus tachycardia” is not a medical diagnosis; rather it is a medical term for the physiological condition that is part of the normal way the body works. Saying that you suffer from it, is almost like saying that you suffer from “Diaphoresis” (sweating) when you are too hot, it is just the body’s normal coping mechanism, and indeed it is reassuring in this case, as it rules out any other problems and indicates my body was, and is, perfectly healthy. He also stated that “slight hypertension” is again a common physiological response to unfamiliar situations and that it was not indicative of serious or long term conditions in this situation. In addition he advised it extremely unlikely that a doctor would report to a patient that they were displaying these “normal” responses, thus explaining my knowledge that I had experienced these responses.

 

In your second point, you indicate I have suffered from a “neck prolapse”; again I am unaware of this condition or even what this is. In 2003 I fell off a horse and went to the doctors with a sore neck and was prescribed medication, anti-inflammatory tablets I believe. My neck pain reduced, it became better and I assumed that was that, my doctor did ask me to come back on 2 or 3 occasions as he said you can never be too careful with neck or back injuries, had it not been for this I would have just finished the tablets and continued with daily life. Again, I did not feel that this was a major illness nor arthritis nor any back, spine or other recurrent joint disorder.

 

Having spoken with my GP, he confirmed that I have never been diagnosed as having a “neck prolapse” nor a “disc prolapse”(indeed a medical condition which can be diagnosed by undergoing a scan), and, in fact he is unaware of any such medical condition as “neck prolapse”, he, having re-read my notes sees that statement as a doctor writing in the notes that it may be a possibility to look at if the condition continued, almost like putting a question or a reminder in my notes. He also stated that, if there had been a genuine and serious concern about a “disc prolapse” I would have been referred for a scan, which is the only way to diagnose such a condition. He believes that, as I believed, I had pulled a muscle, caused by the muscle overstretching due to the unexpected movement when I fell from the horse, which with rest and time had healed. Therefore, I believed that I was telling the truth and not withholding any relevant information on the application form.

 

However, as I said at the beginning, I would like to thank you for bringing these issues to my attention, as I have now been able to discuss exactly what is written in my medical notes and also ascertain that I am fit and healthy. I hope this information is useful and will allow you to recognise that I was unaware that I had any of these conditions and truly felt that any illness I had experienced was short term one off minor condition.

 

Yours Sincerely

Honey, no offence, but you're waffling. ;-)

 

Try something like this:

 

Dear insurance company,

 

I do not have, nor have had either of the conditions you have referred to, namely sinus tachycardia and neck prolapse (which is not a real medical condition anyway), and having spoken to my GP, he has confirmed this. Not having had either of those conditions, I couldn't possibly have revealed them to your company.

 

I expect to hear shortly from you with your proposal on how and when I can expect full payment as regards my current claim.

 

Yours, etc...

 

;-)

Heeheh.. I think I would be prepared to send a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

Not quite their exact wording is...

 

"Having taken account of the comments noted in your letter dated ???? I am writing to advise you that we have decided to decline your claim and to void your policy from commencement

 

This decision has been based on the facts that you visited your doctor on more than one occasion with neck pain for which you were prescribed painkillers and additionally that you were referred to a cardiologist. Had we been provided with this information at the application stage we would have contacted your doctor for a concise medical report and would have been unable to offer you disability cover.

 

Whilst we understand this is not the outcome you hoped for we do not feel it unreasonable as these facts should have been provided to us at the application stage.

 

You will shortly receive a full refund of all premiums paid"

 

If they had got a doctors report it would have said I had a straiuned muscle and that I had had tests which proved without doubt that my heart functioned normally and there was no need for concern...and they would have refused me cover on those grounds, what? i don't get it???

 

So now i have no cover, no payments and am off ill so no other company will give me cover :-x

If your Doctor is happy to confirm that the reasons you visited him were quite temporary and would have not prevented you from getting the insurance cover then I think it would be in your interest to make a complaint to the FOS. You will need to send them copies of all the correspondence you ahve had with your (ex) insurers and from your doctor. You can download a complaint from from their website:)
