    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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

 

Sorry to intrude on the site but could with some help.

 

Royal Bank of Scotland CC - failed to send signed cca they sent a application form, then promptly sent the debt to intrium justitia who have bombarded me with phone calls. I found templates to stop the calls which they have and also sent a letter to both RBS and Intrium to state that application form does not conform to cca request. Sent those back week ago just waiting for there response.

If they cant provide the cca can i use this to get the default they registered on my credit file - i am more than willing to take this to court because of they way they have treated me and the problems it has caused me and my family.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi

 

thanx for all your responses, i will later open my own thread. Can i put a link from this thread to it?

 

On the police said thats the route we first took - they said its not something they would get into and I need to go to the RBS, which is what i did but there are much use as a chocolate fire guard. Said yes the outstanding balance was paid off but they have no records of the card being cancelled nor can they supply me with details as to when a new card was issued. They have sent statements and the card started to be used again 3 months after it was paid off - my argument is though the only address they have is the property I sold.

I've also gone to the places of the more recent purchases on the statements and asked if they could provide any details ie signed visa slips etc but because of the time scale was basically told not a hope!

 

RBS havent chased since my reply about the cca but i know its coming - i feel the best route would be to take it to court force the idiots to prove that we owe the money. I have the bank statement containing the amount paid to them when we paid it off so hoping that'll help along with the none supply of cca etc.

 

Thanx again for all your advice it is greatly appreciated as i feel until now i have been knocking my head against a brick wall.

Mejules - IMO it's definitely RBS problem. However:

 

1. Did you ask them to cancel your card or did you just pay off the balance?

 

2. Did you ever notify them of a change of address?

 

3. They seem to have ignored your request to investigate a possible fraudulent use of your card

 

4. They have not supplied a valid CCA for the account or fulfilled the SAR

 

(4) is easily dealt with. If they fail to supply the CCA, you have the perfect defence for any court action Intrium might threaten. Suggest you send the non-compliance letter re. the SAR. There's a link to the procedures etc. here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html

 

In addition I suggest you submit a formal complaint in writing asap, that way they HAVE to investigate it, it's part of the Banking Code.

In addition to foolishgirls advice, are there any online transactions shown on the statements? If there are, can you try getting in touch with those companies, explaining the situation and asking them to confirm the address of the cardholder, and any 'send to' address' that may have been used?

 

If these don't tally with your details, it's another detail that could help prove what you're saying to RBS.

 

I think the change of address is another potentially big issue for them; after all, it's a bit of a stretch for them to say you were still using the card at your old address years after you moved (you did say 3 years in your earlier posts didn't you, or was that another thread - I've read so many today I'm getting a bit post blind:))

1. Did you ask them to cancel your card or did you just pay off the balance? yes we did but only over the phone when we paid the full balance

 

2. Did you ever notify them of a change of address? - no we didn't see the need as we thought it was cancelled

3. They seem to have ignored your request to investigate a possible fraudulent use of your card - I have this morning sent them 2 non compliance letters (1 for CCA and another for SAR will wait for their response and go from there. I find it very strange that they haven't once chased for the debt until i called them about what was on my file - they just registered the default and left it??

4. They have not supplied a valid CCA for the account or fulfilled the Subject Access Request - as above

I really appreciate all info provided - still think is my best option to take them to court??

Many Thanks

Julie

Hi Lexis

 

I sold the house Jan 2003 - paid them off same month, we couldn't find another house so private rented for a year then found the house we have now been in since Jan 2004.

 

So the person/s using the card did so since approx April 03 and thats were they had the card registered until i called after findings on credit report - should I have never called!!

 

I on one now the more i type the angrier I get - bring it on RBS:mad:

 

Your input and that of others is greatly need and appreciated.

3. . I find it very strange that they haven't once chased for the debt until i called them about what was on my file - they just registered the default and left it??

 

So you never received a default notice? Have they terminated your account? i.e. have they demanded the full payment of the balance from you?

 

They can't terminate without issuing a default notice, so another problem for them if they seek to take you to court. :D

 

Suggest you wait & see what the SRA produces & then go for 'em....

Hi again

 

I don't suppose there's any chance that 6 years passed inbetween your payment of the balance and you contacting them?

 

I know you've said it was January, but it wasn't perhaps January 1st 2003 and you contacted them January 2nd this year?

 

Also, regarding the non-compliance of the SAR - this may be of interest to you How to satisfy subject access requests | OUT-LAW.COM as it just confirms they can not ignore this request. My favourite bit is where they say it can be very costly to comply with one - we can but hope:p

 

I still think if this does go to court you'd have a pretty good defence in the fact you were not there any more. Even if you'd had a re-direct on your post in place, you can only do this for a maximum of 2 years, so you've been away well over this time. It may be worth pointing this out to them again?

 

Keep your chin up, and don't let the barstewards grind you down:)

 

Lexis:)

 

ps - just to make everyone feel a bit better, RBS' share price has fallen to a dismal 12 1/2p, dropping by 97% in the last year. I'm guessing we're not making those poor shareholders very happy by making the bank prove they have a right to take money from us Caggers:D

I'd thought of this angle too lexis. As mejules has not 'acknowledged' the debt (she's merely querying why the default is on the her files) the 6 year statute barred rule would apply to any legal action in any case plus she has the added benefit that the default (regardless of who incurred it) will drop off her credit files after 6 years anyway.

 

That is not negating the moral/fraud aspect of the case, just being practical. :)

HELP

 

Just recieved a letter from Intrum Justitia stating that if debt not paid in full will send a baliff to my house!

 

Surely they cant do that without taking me to court firstly?

 

Julie

 

Correct - they need a CCJ first.

 

Don't panic - IJ are well known for issuing meaningless threats including those of baliffs & court action. Enjoy the weekend....:)

If you fancy a bit of writing I'd fire off a little letter...

 

Dear muppets

 

Please explain how you intend to send bailiffs to my home when this is only possible if I default on a CCJ order set by a court?

 

Now sod off.

IJ are just muppets - you'll probably hear nothing more or just threatening rubbish with no legality.

 

Re. RSB, did you send a SAR request? Suggest you wait the 40 days for their response before attempting any further action re. your credit files as you will then be in a better position to see what has gone on with your account & make a detailed formal complaint to RBS.

Hi,

 

The sar was sent Sept 08 - they sent application stating thats all they needed then passed the debt to IJ. I sent a letter to IJ and RBS stating that no the application wasnt what was requested, then rec'd a letter from IJ who stated they were sending baliffs - i replied with a letter that laughed at them upon opening. Not heard a thing since but RBS still updating file. Is there a letter I can send stating that their now breaking the law by updating my file.

Also think I would like to get these muppets totally of my back and think after reading loads of links the best way to do it would be county court?

would you advise this or send another letter and see what happens next?

If you advise court what form/s would i need?

Thanks for coming straight back to me I appreciate your input.

 

Thanks Julie x

Sorry mejules, didn't realise you'd sent for the SAR in Sept.

 

Re. the account they are updating/claiming on. Is it more than 6 years since you paid anything on it? i.e statute barred. I know you said you paid the card off in 2003, but was it prior to 16 Feb 2003? It just gives you more ammo if it is & could influence your possible choice of actions.

Not a problem, unfortunately my hubby panicked when we first got the letters saying the debt was owed so he paid it for a couple of months until i found this web site. Stupid we know but we didn't know about this site or what we could do.

Does this make a difference in what we can do?

Link to post

Oh dear, mejules, what a pity you made any payments.:( I think this is why RBS/IJ are now chasing you - you have in effect acknowledged the debt is yours.

 

Just a thought, whose name is the card in & who was responsible for the recent payments made? i.e. was it cash, cheque or payment made from an individual or dual account? If the payments cannot be traced to the card holder, the card holder has not acknowledged the debt & we're back to the 'statute barred' scenario ;)

 

However I would start by making a formal complaint to RBS (you'll find the relevant info. on the process on their web site or ask at the bank) regarding the unlawful/fraudulent use of your card, the fact that they did not investigate your complaint at the time & your harassment by IJ for a debt that is not yours. If you do not get the response you want within the time frame set (usually 8 weeks) you can report it to the FOS.

 

The issue of the CCA is not one that RBS will address as they will assert that they have supplied all they need to under S78 CCA1974 & that will be true. The fact that it is an unenforceable application form will not be recognised unless the case goes to court.

Just to add my two-penneth; when you write your complaint make very sure you state the ONLY reason any money was paid (assuming it shows it was paid from you and you have to justify it) was due to the use of threatening letters that scared you into paying.

 

At no point make any intimation that you thought - even briefly - that the debt was yours.

Hello

 

After receiving nothing from RBS since last post - we have today received the following letter (scanner not working at mo)

 

We refer to your correspondence dated 12th Jan 09, and apologise for the delay in getting back to you.

we regret to advise that the card agreement has been misfiled and despite searching our records we have been unable to locate it. Our record of the setting up of the card account has insufficient detail to enable us to recreate the agreement with the required degree of certainty this course of action requires.

In the circumstances we appreciate that under s.78(6) of the CCA if you decide not to meet your obligations under the card agreement as they fall due we will be unable to take steps to enforce repayment of the debt. However we consider that you should continue to meet your obligations under the agreement bearing in mind that the agreement isn't void, it remains valid and your continuing default will be reported to the Credit Reference Agencies.

Payments must continue to be paid using your monthly statement which will be sent to you.

 

Section 78 (6) only prevents us from pursuing recovery of the debt through the courts.

 

Should further assistance be required, please do not hesitate to contact us at the above office.

 

I trust this clarifies the matter for you.

 

Yours sincerely

Miss K Rose

Senior Recoveries Officer

 

Could somebody please help?

 

Many Thanks

Julie
