    • 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.

    • 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.

In terms of the link you have posted it relates to the granting of tenancies and not the post signing situation you are in which relates to tenancy LAW. If it makes you feel any better agents also discriminate on the basis of sexuality, age and economic situation to name but a few.

 

Its a shame you have decided to weave the issue of race in to a reasonably straight forward thread. I doubt playing this card to the judge, if thats your intention, will wash, as they are likley to see right thorough it as I have.

 

Like I said, nothing is being "weaved in". I am suing as a result of racist remarks made. Again, I feel that you have not read earlier posts thoroughly, but then return defamatory remarks - "they are likley to see right thorough it as I have".

 

I would like to add on the tenancy law bit, but I will refrain (it will just be me speculating).

 

Having read and re-read, there's nothing here of use to help with my defence.

 

P.S. And Planner, the link tells me that the majority (based on percentages) of people in the UK (with the South West as sample) are racist. More importantly, it is OK to be racist! (not weaving anything in, just making an observation)

No one is suggesting that you should put up with no heating etc, but there is a protocol to go through. Ie, 3 estimates of work, letters and only then you should think about with holding rent.

On reading your thread, you do write with a chip on your shoulder, Im afraid. This is not only one persons opinion.

This site is here to help people. Sometimes advice is offered and its not what the OP wants to read, which appears to be the case here.

I wonder if you are confusing rasism with your LL and LA just not liking your attitude?!?

With comments like "I cant even get a parking ticket", Im not warming to you!!!

I fear you believe all are "out to get you" which is certainly not the case with this forum.

Offers of advice take time out of people's busy lives and maybe you ought to be grateful for the advice.

Agree with all the above - unfortunately, you do seem to have brought in a racial aspect that I currently see no basis for. Your comments, bordering on attacks, on three of the most highly respected members of the board in my opinion, are completely unfounded - why bite the hand that feeds? These people are only trying to help, and sometimes help comes when you dont like it - i.e. when the truth is not what you want to hear.

 

One question. If you have "diplomatic immunity" (which I doubt, but it really isnt my forte so I cannot comment further), why are you even asking for advice, as you are so positive that they cannot "do you" for anything anyway?

 

PS - if you do NOT have diplomatic immunity of some description, then let me assure you that a judge is going to absolutely rip you apart with the attitude you have. You may not like that comment, but unfortunately it is the truth.

 

Tangent over, back to the original question. You had no legal basis to terminate the agreement, and you owe them the contractual rent (minus that covered by a replacement tenant).

Racial abuse is one of the (many) complaints Camster has against his LL & LA; its in the OP.

 

Reading back through the thread I honestly don't believe that he is "playing the race card". He think he merely mentioned it to try and emphasise the difficulties that he's had because he was surprised at the reaction he was getting. Like, I suspect, many foreigners he probably believes that the English legal sytem is about fairness and justice when those of us who have lived here all our lives know that that is certainly not the case.

 

I agree that Camster isn't coming across particularly well but that could be down to one of two reasons other than his personality. 1, cultural difference between the UK & the country that Camster would call home. (The British are a peculiar people to many foreigners - there's many interesting books about it). 2, a lack of vocabulary/grammar due to English being his/her second language.

 

Having said that Camster seems to be a lot more eloquent than many of the contributors to this board so I think that 2 is unlikely.

bedlington, we are all absolutely entitled to our opinions - so fair enough. My reading of this is different, and I stand by the point that the whole issue has become overly based on race in comparison to the original issue. However, this is obviously open to interpretation.

It should however be borne in mind that the race issue has NOTHING to do with the issue mentioned, hence why I believe it has been overly mentioned. Racial abuse is absolutely unacceptable, and should be pursued with the police in a criminal fashion. However, it has no relevance or impact upon the quite seperate issue of a civil breach of contract.

I was offended by the suggestion that being a landlord would mean I'd see the LA/LL side rather than the tenant.

 

Originally, I specifically avoided the race issue through lack of relevant knowledge and a feeling that it could not help the OPs case. Planner apparently missed it (easily done in long posts). So the OP brought it up again and then accused Planner of deliberately ignoring it.

 

So yes, I think the race card was played against us, and additionally, I've been half wondering whether this, plus inflammatory comments about English law and repeated mentions of the word "jungle" were an attempt to elicit overt offensive comments.

 

But as many of my family members are from places in or near jungles, race issues are usually something that pass me by.

The OP did mention racism in his original post but I'm not convinced that it will particularly strengthen the defence for this claim. Worth mentioning in court though to demonstrate unreasonable behaviour.

 

It would appear too that you may not be able to claim diplomatic immunity for this case.

 

In addition, a diplomatic agent is immune from civil lawsuits, except for actions involving estates, when he or she is the executor, administrator, or beneficiary; actions concerning real property held by the diplomatic agent for personal, not official functions; and actions relating to professional or business activities that are beyond the scope of diplomatic duties.

 

Ambassadors and Consuls legal definition of Ambassadors and Consuls. Ambassadors and Consuls synonyms by the Free Online Law Dictionary.

 

Have you made a start on drafting the defence so we can take a look and see if we can help you out with this. It might help to see the Particulars of Claim too. I'm not clear if you're dealing with this yourself or will have a solicitor acting for you.

I think this thread has now reached the point of becoming quite distasteful. You obviously arent interested in answers to your tenancy question, but instead want a general discussion on race. This forum isnt the right place for such a discussion.

 

I also find your obvious contempt for the nation you work in, its people and its legal system offensive.

 

Your allegations in post 26 above that the majority of the people in the UK are racist (pointing out the South West) and then stating this is an acceptable situation, is also particularly offensive and has nothing what so ever to do with your tenancy question.

 

I have reported the post to a moderator.

The reason I have posted above Planner is because there are a number of personal posts which are irrelevant and unnecessary to the OPs original question, and I was trying to bring the thread back on topic. I believe the OP was merely trying to make a point and does not believe that racism is ok, although I admit it does appear that way.

 

The fact is the OP has included racism in his original post and is one of a number of issues that have led him to stop paying rent.

Planner/Admin/Caro,

 

The link of Post 26:

BBC NEWS | England | Agencies 'happy to discriminate'

 

As one can see, the percentages and observations are consistent with what was said on the BBC programme.

 

 

Caro,

I've confirmed that I'm immune from all civil and criminal proceedings. I'll proceed with the system here. It's good to know that I have something sturdy to fall back on.

 

The confusion? Can I sue the LL and LA with the same claim? Or not?

 

How do I attach .pdfs? Yup, submitted 16(5). Can't find the 'attach button to attach.

Steve,

 

Please re-read the whole post. I wrote that the persons who carried out the inventory check mentioned that the property was like a jungle. It's in the bloody inventory (yes, the word jungle). Please advise on attaching a document and you will see it for yourself!

 

And yes! Race is a burning point here! Together with defamation and a barely habitable property, these three form the basis or my defence.

 

 

 

Mr. Shed,

Our beloved police force took as to be a "civil" matter and not a criminal one!

I wrote that the persons who carried out the inventory check mentioned that the property was like a jungle. It's in the bloody inventory (yes, the word jungle).

 

Just a small point (and I'm no expert) but doesn't the fact that the inventory states the 'disrepair' of the garden etc as mentioned also in post #9:

All these terms (jungle, cobwebs, etc.) are present in the inventory.

 

Mean that the OP accepted the condition of garden/property when the TA was signed initially? I thought that was the point of an inventory? Surely that means that you can't subsequently complain about it as it was accepted in the first place?

 

Sorry if I'm barking up the wrong tree here!

Hi Planner,

 

Here you go again - LOL. I only just read all your "lovely" (recent) posts and decided to correct you on bits that were wrong.

 

Inflammatory? Provoke? Negative response? Check your posts!!! It is your Post 45 that is as such!!! Am I to be silent while both you and Steve make false statements that are malicious in nature? Please do read my posts again.

 

 

 

Hi Cariad,

These issues were highlighted in the inventory, and it was made clear (in the inventory) that the LA/LA would have these done up.

Sorry, I just didn't see you mention that anywhere previously. It might be helpful if you posted the exact wording of this promise by the LA/LL so that it can be used to help your claim. If the main reason for your claim is the disrepair/inhabitability of the property/grounds, I imagine this would be a particular point on which you would base the claim.
