    • 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.

Hello well i have finally gone BR. I am so relieved. All i have to do now is wait for the OR to send letter asking for some bits and enclosed will be the time and day of my telephone interview(little nervous).

 

I really do not know what i was so worried about??

 

For anyone in the same boat, thinking about BR etc... please see my thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/formal-solutions-bankruptcy-administration/160299-bankruptcy-advice-questions.html

lots of bits in that. I had so many threads as i had so many questions.

 

Also i have managed to open a cash builder account with co op this afternoon after going bankrupt. I explained my situation and the lad on the phone was very helpful 08456027057. With this account i get internet banking, the ability to pay direct debits and standing orders, an electron card. Also do not worry if you do not have a co op branch near by (my nearest is 50 miles away) you can use the post office to pay in money, cheques and withdraw cash.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me on here including: phat256, fermi, 42man, sugarbabe47, gizmo111, palomino the list goes on. But thank you all of you. Without this site i do not know what i would have done throughout the process.

 

If i knew where you all were i'd buy you a drink. Also if i happen to be lucky enough at some point to have any extra money i will be donating to the site.

 

I will keep you posted.

 

Remember there is light at the end of the tunnel and people are about to help. I am looking forward to my fresh start and rebuilding my life without feeling sick ever day and wondering how i will pay this creditor and that.

 

Thank you everyone.:p

Also, make the donation a bit bigger - I'm teetotal. :)

 

Best of luck for the future.

Hey you!! Your post sounds so happy if that makes sense! Well done!! You give me hope that I will be ok as I am in court thursday 10a.m. gulp. As bad as BR feels I think ours has come at the best time as hubby has lost overtime and the threats have started. Have emptyed out nationwide, kept some money at home and put enough in the new cash account with barclays to cover the newley set-up direct debit instructions. If the OR decides to freeze this I wont be happy but then I will have to open up a co-op account or hope barclays is unfrozen in time for the dd's due at the end of the month. Cripes I am petrified and excll at once. My nerves are shot to pieces but I will be so glad to stop hiding from the postman and to be able to answer the phone will be enlightening. I feel alone so please spare a thought for us this week.

Anyway GS well bluddy done!!!!!

 

All the very best to you

 

Hazel

hey boston. dont worry too much.

hopefully the OR will not be interested in your basic barclays account, and barclays are one of the 2 that will accept BR's. So fingers crossed. May be worth getting the ball rolling with the co op acc.

 

I have my telephone interview on Monday, i have just filled in some paperwork ref tax and Ni, and got my wages slips and bank statements etc ready to post in the morn. I will defo feel even better after the phone interview as it is all well and truely over by then.

 

I will think of you tomorrow. Remember it isnt as bad as you think.

Ok the phone call is all done and dusted and was not as bad as i thought. The lady was very nice and didnt ask as much as i thought she worried.

 

I have one area of concern, i wrote on my list of creditors that i had purchased items from a catalogue to pay for rent and living expenses. This was when i was out of work from october 07 to feb 08. This is not for a vast sum i think it was a sat nav and 2 digital cameras maybe around 800 in total, which i then sold on ebay.

The lady on the phone who was not the main OR but one of her assistants? said this would be flagged and looked at further. She did say however not to worry too much as it would seem to only be for a small amount in order to survive. But as i did not pay for the goods it has to be flagged. Does this mean they may go for a BRU? I really hope not, if they do when would i know?

 

Any advice would be great.

 

Thanks again everyone.:)

How long does is it take for all creditors to hear about my BR?

 

I ask as my partner called the council ref our outstanding ctax and they had not received any info as yet. I went BR 2 weeks tmr.

 

They have asked for a copy of my petition so they can amend the bill to only be in my partners name.

It can take up to 8 weeks for the OR to let them all know.

 

Anything urgent, then it is best to do it yourself.
