    • Good Evening, I received this pack yesterday its an application notice to change claimants. Will they be chasing me for this as they were successful with the first claim? many thanks Webb 1.Application Notice N244rd.pdf 2.Asset Transfer Deed r.pdf 3.Notice of Assignment Part A Letter 1 & 2rd.pdf 5.Claim Form rd.pdf 6.Draft Order rd.pdf
    • Hi, If they haven't followed the court's directions there will be little tolerance of the court. Anyway please can you upload a copy of the court paperwork
    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

    • 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,

 

I owe Abbey several thousand quid and they have been chasing it for 18 months or so.

 

Earlier in the year I sent a data request to them and they sent back my statements and from this I made a claim against them for a sum equivalent to a little over a third of what I owe them.

 

I have had the standard response from them over the matter and I responded to that by continuing to press for settlement failing which I would escalate the matter to a court claim in order to reduce my debt to Abbey.

 

They have failed to meet my deadline and consequently I am about to complete the necessary claim form N1 but a thought has just crossed my mind and as such I would like some input on the matter before I do proceed with litigation...

 

My worry is: If I make a claim through the CC, am I leaving myself at risk of a 'counterclaim' form Abbey for the amount that I owe them?

 

I am worried about this so much that I am making myself ill over the matter and on top of that I have Wescot pressing me to pay them despite having sent them 'account in dispute' letters etc etc.....

 

Any thoughts on the matter would be a great comfort ...

Hello David,

 

I sent Abbey a SAR request with £10 and got all my statements together with some 'screen shots' of my account.

 

I then calculated the charges on the account and made a claim for the repayment/credit of about £1200 ...

 

Got the usual 'on hold' letters and I then sent a letter advising them that I was going to persue the matter in court if it wasn't resolved within my time limits ...

 

Again got a standard 'on hold' letter also suggesting that should I proceed in court they would immediately apply for a 'stay/suspension' whilst the OFT case continues.

Best policy is CCA them.

 

In the letter library you will find the appropriate letter, (I think its letter 'N). Send the letter by recorded post along with a postal order for £1 to Westcot. Do not sign the letter.

 

This places the account 'in dispute' and puts Westcot under the obligation of providing you with a copy of the agreement you signed to open this account. While the account is in dispute, OFT guidelines prohibit Westcot from continuing collection activety. They have 12 + 2 working days in which to provide this document after which they are in default of your request. At this point you can legally stop paying them until they do.

 

See what comes back as it is possible the agreement may be unenforceable which makes the issue of charges irrelevant if that is the case.

I was lead to believe that it serves no real purpose to CCA a bank account

 

I received copies of my application papers when I got my SAR bundle from the bank.

 

I also understood that the 'account in dispute' kicked-in the moment that I made a claim against them for repayment of charges.

 

This doesn't seem to be putting Wescot off making a real nuisance of themselves chasing the total debt.

 

As I said in my opening post, Abbey have received my letter before action and I'm ready to go to court, however I am worried that I will be opening myself up for a 'counterclaim' as the debt to Abbey will not be cleared by the claim for charges ...

David,

 

Okay I have read over your thread again (#6) and you may have something here in as much as I may be overlooking the fact the I am in possession of an 'unenforceable' agreement ...

 

What do I need to look for in order to establish if it has been properly executed?

 

Whilst waiting for your response to this point I will go and dig the docs out of the file and study them carefully.

Is this a bank account or Credit Card / Loan?

 

If a bank account then tell westcot that due to their being unlawful charges etc applied to the account and that due to the court case pending with the OFT the account is in dispute and to bog off.

 

If it is a credit card / loan then CCA Westcrap

 

It is a bank account with an overdraft ... now closed by Abbey.

Okay, I will get yet another, perhaps stronger, letter off to Wescot today.

 

In the meantime would it be possible for some advice on my concerns over escalating the matter to a county court claim .....

Also, what do I need to look for on an agreement to establish if it is correctly executed and enforceable?

 

:) 'pretty please'

The overdraft, although covered by the CCA 1974, does not require a signed, executed agreement to be in place for enforcement, like a credit card or loan would.

 

File your N1 to claim back the charges, which, if successful, will reduce your overall debt.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

  • 2 months later...

Okay further developments on this matter today .... I have received a letter from Abbey (in a Robinson.Way & Co envelope) saying that they have sold my account to RW & Co and that any further contact should be made to them.

 

Now since I last posted the situation is as follows;

 

I advised Wescot that I was disputing the account with Abbey and that I intended to file a claim in court - they responded by sending the account back to Abbey.

 

Wescot ... out of the picture:)

 

At the same time I sent Abbey a LBA on advice of 'tiglet' - this was with the view to filing an NI claiming back charges - Abbey responded to that with the usual info on the 'test case' and advised me that if I were to continue, they would apply for a 'stay' in the action pending the outcome of the OFT test case.

 

They also advised me that my claim has been registered with them and would be put on hold and dealt with in due course.

 

I have not got around to actually filing the N1 mainly due to lack of funds.

 

So, I am now expecting a barrage of telephone calls from RW together with the usual threat letters ... Advice is needed on how I should proceed with this matter when I hear from RW.

 

I was under the impression that a creditor could not pass on a debt if it was in dispute:confused:

 

Does my claim against Abbey place my account/debt in dispute?

 

My claim against Abbey will not cover the whole debt if I were to succeed, does this give RW any right to continue to pursue me for the balance whilst the OFT case remains unresolved?

 

I welcome your valued input on this matter in order that I can respond to RW when they make contact ..

I went the same way with my old Abbey account, they sold it as well...wrote back to them advising them again that the account is in dispute etc - not heard anything back as yet and that was about 6 months ago now...also had the standard letter from RW (I thnk), told them to refer back to Abbey due to the dispute - seriously file that claim though as soon as you can, if nothing else it gives you more ammo when they try and resell it again...which they may do

 

just my tuppence :)

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention, theres a number of ways of dealing with telephone calls also, most of the templates for which you can find on here ;)

DCA's - they have the same power as an infinite number of untrained chimps working on a script for Hamlet, but the chimps would probably at least get it right :D

I have just got off the phone to the local county court and they are sending an EX160A for exemption/concession of court fees as it appears that I may be abel to get a full remission on issuing a claim against Abbey.
