    • 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.

    • 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.

Well only you can decide that matter Toxic...as we have previously discussed a restriction is meaningless on your home and if you feel that you should proceed then that's your choice.

Just to clarify they are allowed to submit a WS (even though they are too late now) they are not allowed to verbally support it...they are debarred from oral evidence.

 

You could get a completely different DJ this time and if he goes with the old " on the balance of probabilities " line then you could lose.

 

Taking all into consideration including the TO if you go that way you pay inc costs.If you proceed you win and you get costs. If you proceed and lose you get a CCJ plus further costs and probably a restriction.

 

Something for you to deliberate on

 

Regards

 

Andy

Update: They want me to pay their Summary Judgment costs - I have refused as they lost. Their SJ application was thrown out and costs were awarded to me then rolled over to the full hearing.

 

Their solicitor has replied saying that as as no costs award was on the general court order for the full hearing date she doesn't believe they were awarded to me. How do i prove it?

Whether they were or not awarded to you makes no odds they most certainly were not awarded to them as they lost...or has she forgot?

 

What does it state on your " general court order for the full hearing date " Toxic ?

  • 5 months later...

Update... My Tomlin has been in effect since November last year and I've made the agreed payment each month. Ive just checked my credit file and under Global Arrow each month since they bought the debt in 2012 has been listed as 'US' (Unknown Status). However in January this year it is listed as 'D' (Defaulted). The same in Feb and March this year too.

 

It also shows the wrong amount owing. I'ts showing the defaulted MBNA debt amount without what they added on etc.

 

Can they do this seeing as I have a Tomlin Order considering I have not missed a payment since it was set up last November?

 

Can I sue them? :lol:

 

My credit file states this is due to drop off my file in August next year - 6 years after the date I defaulted with MBNA. If this is the case should I not rock any boats and just wait?

Tomlin Orders have no connected/effect with CRA files...the debt still remains...but you can query the amount if that incorrect.

Thanks Andy. I think Ill just keep my head down and let the clock wind down to next August when it says it will drop off my file under the 6 year rule. Could they open it up again after that point?

Depends if you default on the Tomlin Order...but it should drop off after 6 years as normal.

  • 1 year later...

Well after two years of paying my £20 each month I've had a credit paid into my bank from "S'SMITHS CLT LENDE FILE CLOSED". This arrived The day after my standing order payment was paid out to "ARROW GLOBAL"

 

Does this mean they have closed my account and written the balance off?

 

I'm a tad worried as this time last year I was emailed by Shoesmiths asking me why I had not returned Arrow's annual income and expenditure form. Arrow had (yet again) sent it to the wrong address. Once I explained that nothing had changed they were fine and my payments under the Tomlin order continued until now.

 

Is it possible they have again sent an annual assessment form to the incorrect address and then applied to have the Tomlin removed so they can proceed to court?

 

Would I be informed by the court if something like this had happened?

 

Im unsure what - if anything - I should do.

Yes you would be informed Toxic...try to get hold of Arrow and find out why the SO has been cancelled.

Rang Shoesmiths who told me to ring Arrow as they were no longer collecting this debt on AG's behalf and have closed my account. I asked why they had not informed me of this in advance as I was now One months payment missing. They said they were not required to, all they had to do was return my money. I wonder what would have happened if I had just done nothing. Would Arrow have had grounds to revoke the Tomlin?

 

Anyway... I then rang Arrow who searched for my account and eventually discovered it had no 'collection assignment company' (whatever that means). I was given their bank details and told to send the monthly payments electronically until Im assigned a new collection agent. I asked if I could just set up an SO direct to Arrow and was told no pay electronically every month and, wait for further correspondence. What are they up to?

Simply a change of " collection assignment company " or in other words... a Solicitor that is willing to deal with them.Its not uncommon and most payments after litigation run through a Solicitor rather than direct to the clients account...I have yet to get to the bottom of why this happens...but I will:-)

 

And yes one missed payment on a consent can be considered a breach...but unlikely to be enforced given the Judgment Creditor is at fault..

Interesting. Ive not has any correspondence from a new assignee as yet but did send January's payment direct to AG with my reference number on.

 

However, if they dont allocate a new solicitor within a reasonable time would that give me reason to approach the court for a breach as it is a major inconvenience to try to remember to manually pay them each month rather than by the agreed standing order?

I dont think refusing payment would be considered a breach of the Tomlin Order Toxic...more of an irregularity and inconvenience to yourself.Will Arrow update you when something firm is in place ?

The guy at AG said I would be informed when a new assignee was in place. However Im getting a tad worried now as Ive had another payment into my bank from Shoesmiths today, equivalent to one months payment. Thats two so far both titled "S'SMITHS CLT LENDE FILE CLOSED".

Im guessing I should make another payment to AG now? Seems a bit strange that Ive got another refund from Shoey's just after sending one to AG. I might give AG another ring.

It states they can lift the stay if I miss any payments and that if we cant agree the monthly payment after each 12 month review either of us can ask the court to assess how much should be paid.

 

Ive just rang AG and they now tell me the last payment from Shoey's was in November which would mean two missing payments, so I suspect thats what the second refund is. I've forwarded the money over to AG just now.

 

They guy on the phone (very pleasant manner) said that once my account is taken up by one of their "financial partners", Id have to fill an assessment form in to determine how much I could afford to pay each month. I reminded him that there is a Tomlin Order for a set amount in place which can be reviewed once a year and both parties had to agree. I'm beginning to think they are trying to get me to pay more. Ill wait and see what happens after (if) its assigned. At least If they try to hike my monthly payments up (currently 112 years left to go before its paid off at my current rate) I can go back to the court. My circumstances are the same as they were back in 2013 when the Tomlin became affective.

 

I suppose I'll just have to remember to make a payment to AG electronically each month until then.

 

Maybe AG are trying to sell the debt on and get rid of me. I cant imagine many "financial partners" would want to administrate this ongoing as it cant be worth anything to them. Im paying very little each month, but its all I can afford and they settled ( snatched my hand off) for it.

Absolutely agree Toxic...no new assessment forms to be completed...just keep the payments going.....can you not put a reminder in your smart phone or PC ?
