    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.

    • 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 all,

 

I have been receiving the letters from Lowell regarding the debt from 3G phone. Actually, i had bought 3 phone contract for my friend from dialaphone via online website. I then contacted dialaphone to change the account details on his name and he started paying the bills via direct debit from his own bank account. the dial a phone agent said that, he can not change a name but can change the bank details. Then i left that place in may 2005 and lost touch with that friend. in 2008, i went to get mortgage but refused saying bad credit history. when i checked this on experian, i came to know about this unpaid debt of 290 GBP on my name since 2006. I dont know whether he did not paid bills or he did not cancel the contract and it continued to increase the debt. that time i also had another mobile contract and had it for upto 2008 from 3. but they never mentioned abt that debt of 290 gbp. After i came to knew abt this debt wrote letter to 3G phone and asking the details. in that letter i wrote current account numbers and name but they stated that i do not have any debt. Then onwards, i sat relaxed and did nothing. neary end of the 2008 i started getting letters from Lowell finance asking to repay the debts. I kept ignoring and once i wrote email explaining the situations on provided email address on their letters but the email did not go through. Last, i received letter from HAMPTON LEGAL threatning with legal action if i do not reply in 7 days.

 

I am in a difficult situation. how to explain all this mess and improve credit history. How to deal with Hampton's last letter. Should i contact or should i ignore them ? how to use 3G letter sent to me confirming no debt (if i could find that) and if i had cancelled my one 3G phone why they did not cancelled the another contract, which i imagine should be interlinked account. or if my friend paid upto the first term of contract and he did not bothered to pay after that. can any expert advice on this as i can not afford to pay this money as recently i had burglers and lost two grand worth things and had no insurance. please help... your help wil be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

Lowells have been buying some duff 3 accounts lately so my immediate thought is to send a prove it letter.

Don't worry about Hamptons. They are just the pseudo legal team across the room from the Leeds losers.

I'm afraid that it is bad news.

You are responsible for the account and will have to deal with it.

Doesn't seem fair - but frankly from the stories we hear, it is not a good idea to do people these kinds of favours.

I don't want to stick up for the industry but it boils down to this:

You gave credit to a friend becaus the Industry wouldn't give him credit - for whatever reason.

Maybe you are now finding out why the industry thought that he wasn't a good risk

lowells have indeed been buying duff debts i think fox may mean a cca letter (where you ask for a true copy of your credit agreement) without this they cannot collect on the debt. i stress the debt doesnt get swallowed it just isnt collectable) not sure how it affects ur credit rating tho as im only a newbie myself . as i say im only new and have NO LEGAL TRAINING SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER BEFORE COMMITING YOURSELF TO ANY ACTION

I would not like to speculate any thing as i and you are not sure what happend with this account. Money was being paid. 3G never contacted me eventhough i had another account with them. if i had received any communications from them quickly i would have resolved. i am sorry but your approach is wrong to me. i would advise you to understand the facts first. all i m asking is, how to get in touch with them. how to prove my point. whether they are charging me any interest or not. please help me if you can or let other people do that. Thanks nothing is personal.

You can't CCA a mobile account (it's not covered)

 

Contact 3 to make sure they and you know what the situation is.

 

Until you know which account this debt relates to, you can't be expected to be able to be in a position to pay it, That's why I said send the prove it letter.This is the one to send:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Account no:

 

You have contacted me/us regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself/ourselves.

 

I/we would point out that I/we have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to (insert company name).

 

I am/we are familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I/we would also point out that the OFT say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I/we would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my/our liability for the debt in question.

 

I/we await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the trading standards department and consider informing the OFT of your actions.

 

I/we look forward to your reply.

 

**Edit to suit**

 

Remember, don’t sign the letter.

I had dealings with Lowell regarding an old 3 account, from what I have seen they cannot provide any sort of proof for any of the 3 accounts that they bought.

 

They backed down straight away after receiving a letter asking them to prove it, this is not usual for lowell, and after the appearance on watchdog regarding the 3 accounts, I doubt they want any more bad publicity.
