    • 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.

Sorry, but forget about the Pt 18 request and the CPR letter, at this time they serve no purpose.

 

Start preparing your defence and Pt 20 claim (counterclaim for charges/PPI). Your problem will be that you do not appear to have a defence to the entire claim and so they may proceed to apply for summary judgment in relation to that part which you are unable to reasonably dispute.

 

You will need to muddy the waters with the defence to avoid the above and get to the disclosure stage, whereupon they will have to show their hand (all the docs upon which they intend to rely). You will then find out if they have the agreement as they will have to disclose the same and you can then ask for a copy. Any competent solicitor will ignore the CPR and Pt 18 letters - they are what is known as 'noise' and are premature and indeed technically defective. I appreciate they have been prepared with best intentions, but just put the claimant on notice as to what your about. Far better to ambush after disclosure and sicken them, with a well informed and reasoned argument as to why they should 'drop dead', having wasted their time and clients money.

 

Lets see the POC and we will prepare your defence and Pt.20 claim.

Hi, up to now we have sent a CPR request to the claimant and filed the AOS, then waited for claimant to reply, before filing a defence.

Are you saying we should now wait until the AQ stage , and ask the court toorder disclosure of the documents?. If so would the court not think we were not following the correct procedures re CPR?

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

OK. The POC are indeed vague, but that is because of the Northampton procedure. They should include the date of the agreement, in any event. They do no not have to refer to an LBA.

 

Not using the 'CPR' letter or the Pt.18 request does not mean you are breaching the rules. It is not a requirement to send any such letters. The claimant must prove its claim. You have to prove nothing!

 

The procedure (generally) for litigation is as follows:-

 

1. Claim served (inc POC)

2. AOS filed

3. File/serve defence

4. Allocation questionnaires filed

5. Directions given

6. Disclosure/Inspection

7. Exchange statements

8. Listing

9. Trial

 

You should wait until disclosure and see what it brings before sending letters for specific documents. The claimant will give you a list of the documents they intend to use to prove its claim. This will include, logically, the agreement, statements, default notice, correspondence common to the parties etc. You, at that stage can ask for inspection (copies of their docs). Theoretically, they cannot use any documents at trial not disclosed.

 

You will also have to provide a list of documents upon which you intend to rely (not precedents, but actual docs - you probably won't have any other than a few letters) and provide inpection of any docs they want from you.

 

So you see, the letters referred to above are only asking for that which you will be entitled to and some you are not. The letters request docs which relate to matters not central to the issues between the parties and are not proportionate to that in issue. The letters are a 'fishing expedition' and that will not be allowed by the court. Indeed they probably breach the rules (CPR) and be considered an attempt to cloud the 'true' issues.

 

If the claimant does not disclose sufficient docs to prove its claim, they probably don't have them. You should at that stage write a short letter requesting the same and in default invite them to discontinue the action. You can make an application (N.244) to the court compelling the claimant to comply with disclosure and in default the claim be struck out. This is nuanced and not for this breif explanation.

 

Do not send letters to the claimants solicitor, which you probably do not understand. Trust me, generally, they find the content amusing. The letters disclose a misconceived understanding of the Civil Procedure Rules and if they have the essential docs in their possession, they will string you along and hit you with a big bill for costs at trial, if the matter is on the fast/multi track.

 

The profession is chuckling at a recent £60K order for costs against 2 claimants known on this site, who used versions of the docs and arguments regularly referred to herein. Some will know the case to which I refer.

Here is the defence:

Defence

 

1. The particulars of claim are vague and do not provide sufficient detail to enable the defendant to plead effectivley or at all. By way of example the claimant has failed to confirm the date of agreement upon which the cause of action is based.

 

2. Prior to the issue of the action the claimant was requested to disclose documents relating to the alleged debt and/or agreement. The claimant failed and/or refused so to do.

 

3. The documents described above were the subject of a request pursuant to the Data Protection Act 1998 and/or the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

4. In all the circumstances the defendant denies being indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

 

Part 20 Claim

 

5. The defendant/Part 20 claimant intends to claim sums paid to the claimant /Part 20 defendant in relation to a Payment Protection Insurance policy, sold by the claimant/Part 20 defendant to the defendant/Part 20 claimantwithout qualification or appropriate advice as required by the Financial Services Authority et al. The claimant/Part 20 defendant acted as agent/broker on behalf of the insurance company issuing the policy to the detriment of the defendant/Part 20 claimant.

 

6.The defendant/Part 20 claimant refers to paragraphs 2 and 3 above, As a consequence of the claimants/Part 20 defendants failure and/or refusal to provide documents, the defendant/Part 20 claimant is unable to plead the Part 20 claim with particularity.

 

And the defendant/Part 20 claimant claims:-

 

i) An order requiring the claimant/Part 20 defendant to disclose statements of account covering the entire period of the alleged agreement and a copy of the alleged agreement.

 

ii) Damages limited to £5,000.00

 

iii) Interest pursuant to Section 64 of the County Courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum until judgment or further order or such other sum as the court thinks fit.

 

Dated this day of 2008

 

 

Statement of Truth

I confirm the contents of this defence/Part 20 claim are true.

 

.....................................................

defendant/part 20 claimant

 

To the court

And to the claimant/part 20 defendant

 

Only use the red piece if you made a CCA request.

 

Hope this helps. It is good enough to get you to disclosure.

Yep i certainly do and have the judgment to boot,

 

they didn't use documents referred to in this site, in fact their legal arguments were downright absurd, the court clearly could not do what they were asking given the circumstances

 

but you may wish to reconsider the amount of costs as there are still two cases to be determined for costs :D

Sorry, the orders for costs totalled £40,000 with others to be assessed. They will probably end up paying an amount exceeding £80,000. Suffice to say, this is what happens when you get out of your comfort zone and give lawyers the excuse to make work - as do the CPR and Pt.18 letters.

 

They used arguments akin to those mentioned on this site - I know.

now then,

 

unless my maths is way off target,

 

5 cases, three determind as being £20000 per case costs = 60K plus two to be determind,

 

at least that is what this order from the court says ;)

PT,

Read the order again - no costs order on Amex case = 40K summary assessed and 2 cases for detailed assessment. It doesn't say detailed, but that is what it was. The order is badly worded.

 

Priority,

 

I don't have a thread, because I do not need help, but people here do!

I feel its about time I gave it away, rather than sell it. I will not always be available as business takes me away, but when I can, I will help with reasoned and meaningful advice. I don't always fully explain myself - a fault, but if people take the time to consider that which I post, they will get on track and fast.

 

I have just explained to PT, my background.

 

Pompey,

 

File it now - why wait?

Dont't worry. You will need to beef up the defence/part 20 claim, when youi get the docs to allow you to do so. The docs will be received at disclosure/inspection - latest. You will want all statements and the insurance policy with conditions etc. You may find a few penalty charges to include.

 

Good Luck.

Priority One,

 

I have no interest in previous claims or your sarcastic response to my mail. You do not have to read my mail!

 

I do not expect to ever post 4,000+ as you have done. I'm confident, I'm not that interesting.

 

Having read this site, I am amazed at the paranoid postings and that which is so blatantly wrong (e.g. suggestions solicitors are DCA or even debt owners etc etc etc all adding to the hysteria)

 

People are being advised to send letters to claimants and courts, which they do not understand, referring to rules and precedents which they have not read and have been wrongly applied, in any event.

 

I have people writing to me in business, who will not sign their letters to a firm of solicitors, because they have read on here, that the signature may be scanned and pasted onto an agreement or some other document. Indeed I have seen one poor bugger try and explain that to a judge. Yes, he had also used all the letters copied from this site and he was crucified at hearing. He was taken thro' each one and asked to explain himself. The end result is that he paid £5K in costs, which was addded to his debt.

That is how I became aware of this site.

 

If you want my help, you can have it with pleasure, if not - so what! But, do not try and plant the seed of doubt in others who do. Nothing I can do here can gain me a monetary advantage and I'm interested in no other.
