    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. 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.

    • 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.

Looks like a cut and paste then, as you say, nothing to link those 2 pages together?! And the difference in font adds suspicion.

 

If they could show (although not sure how they would) that the second page IS connected to the signature page then, with a missing lenders signature would make it improperly executed (not outright unenforceable).

 

They mention condition 8.2. If that wasn't included how can you know what it says?! (Or you!)

 

Also their choice of wording in the letter is odd to say the least. "Includes the credit agreement in an abridged form on the reverse".

 

Abridged: Shortened, cut down, condensed, censored.

In other words they have admitted there are other parts to this agreement that they have left out?

 

There is also the point to make that, (as i understand it although will need confirmation of this) the first page is headed 'Credit Agreement' and not a Credit Card Agreement as strictly defined within the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 SI 1983/1553. Therefore you could argue it is invalid for any purpose linked to a Credit Card account.

Now how seriously a Judge would view that kind of 'minor' error and how you could use that in a valid argument is another matter.

 

I would get pt2537 or Steven4064 to look in and give their valuable advice before drafting a response to smellyfax.

:!: -Any advise I give is based purely on my own experience. It should not be solely relied upon as I am NOT a legal expert and any major decisions you make should not be based on my opinion alone -

HFC Bank - Davey vs HFC

Barclays - Monthly payments made

Cahoot - Agreement received, awaiting 2nd agreement after DCA.

Hi babydoll and davey, thankyou for your valuable input, it's much appreciated.

You do make me laugh with your smellyfax, lol

How do i get PT or Steven to look in ?

well as a layman i think that all the waffle about you having made payments etc etc is just that and does not preclude you from suddenly realising that you have been inadvertently honouring a defective agreement

 

you should rememeber that BOTH sides signed a form which says you agreed to be bound by its terms and not just the debtor

 

one of the major terms is that the agreement is regulated by the CCA

 

one of (if not the) main overriding terms of the CCA is that if the creditor fails to get the agreement right he shall be denied the opportunity to enforce the debt and that the advance made will be treated as a gift.

 

furthermore- there can be no argument as to what the intent of sect 127 was since the author of the CCA has publicly stated in writing that it was precisely the intent that the punishment for the creditor failing to get the agreement right was that they shall not be able to enforce it.

 

when replying it might be prudent to point out to them that they also signed and agreed to be bound by the terms of this agreement

 

with regard to the telephone bit i think i would advise them that you have a policy of NEVER EVER giving security information, either in full or in part (ie part of a DOB) to incoming callers for security reasons.

 

As this is the case, there will never be an occassion where you will be able to discuss personal financial details with an incoming caller.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing , you have been given legal advice to communicate ONLY in writing so that there is a full audit trail of what was said, offered, disputed and so on.therefore you will not be instigating a telephone call to them at any time to discuss the matter verbally

 

If therefore , given these circumstances I have just outlined to you -you continue to make telephone calls to me it can only be seen as an intention to cause harrasment and distress and any such calls will be logged and a formal complaint made in this respect.

 

It would also appear in my opinion , to a right thinking person that due inference could be drawn as to why you would not be prepared to have a written record of your communications

 

Furthermore whilst i am prepared to respond in timely fashion to all correspondence, in order to dispose of this matter amicably, you should be advised that a hold will be put on ALL communication with you if you continue to harras me by telephone

 

i trust this makes ,my position crystal clear

 

obviously needs a bit of work but you get the drift

 

 

i know not everyone can afford it but i just invested in a true call- WOW

 

i can see daily on my computer all the auto dialled and non autodialled calls and the phone stays as silent as a lamb except when my starred callers ( you give it a list of phone numbers that can get through) ring

 

the computer keeps an accurate record of all calls which is useful for making complaints.

 

I have 11 credit cards on the burners at the moment and not ONE telephone call to annoy me

It has dawned on me through sleepy eyes that what is needed is a Library of agreements, appl forms and second pages showing the alleged prescribed terms listed by date which could be supplied by posters from their OWN files (those that have kept them

 

this would be extremley useful for other caggers to check the layout and the charges/interest rates/document markings etc prevalent at the time they were issued against what has been sent to them in response to their requests and would give a good insight as to whether cut and paste is occurring

 

just a thought

Hi Diddydicky, thanks for replying on my thread, your post is really helpful.

I think your idea about a library for agreements, apps etc is great.

As i was searching round for ages looking to see if anyone had the same application as me.

I just need to pick apart exactly what is wrong with the agreement now, and then get my letter writing head on and see what i can come up with :confused:

Steven has just got back to me on another thread i have regarding the enforcability of this.

He says it's enforcable as it has my sig and prescribed terms if both sides were on the same sheet.

This is something, i'm not sure of.

What they've sent me certainly looks like something they've fudged together.

How do i reply now?

Any ideas folks? xx

well you could challenge them - write and say that you dont beleive that the prescribed terms on the back of the agreement are the ones that were on the original agreement and it would therefore be helplful if they would provide you with a copy of the original agreement for which you are prepared to pay their reasonable costs, or better still advise you of the location of the original agreement and you will make an appointment to goi and examine it

Hello all, can anyone look over this for me and see if it's ok to send :)

Re: my request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

This account is in Dispute .

 

 

Thankyou for you letter dated 24th April 2009.

I would firstly like to address your comment that I have given no valid reason to dispute this debt.

I believe you are fully aware why I am disputing this debt and the reasons have been explained to you in my letters to you dated, 10th February and 15th April 2009.

On 21/01/2009 I wrote to you requesting that you supply me a true copy of the executed credit agreement for this account.

In response to this request I was supplied a mere application form which did not comply with the requirements of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

The document sent purporting to be a credit agreement does not contain any of the prescribed terms within the body of the agreement as required by section 60(1) Consumer Credit Act 1974. The Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/1553) made under the authority of the “1974 Act” sets out what the prescribed terms are, I refer you to Schedule 6 Column 2 of SI 1983/1553 for the definition of what is required. Suffice to say none of the terms are present in the document.

The terms are present on a separate sheet of paper that you have sent me in response to my subject access request, but there is nothing that relates to them being on the back of the application form at all.

I would also like you to elaborate on what you mean by, “The application you signed when taking out the account includes the credit agreement in an abridged form on the reverse”

It is my understanding that abridged means, Shortened, cut down, condensed, censored.

Does this mean that this in actual fact is not a true copy of the original agreement, but something that you have put together to look like it is?

Since this document does not contain the required prescribed terms it is rendered unenforceable by s127 (3) consumer Credit Act 1974, which states

 

127(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a)(signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under section 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor or hirer (whether or not in the prescribed manner).

 

This situation is backed by case law from the Lords of Appeal in Ordinary (House of Lords) the highest court in the land. Your attention is drawn to the authority of the House of Lords in Wilson-v- FCT [2003] All ER (D) 187 (Jul) which confirms that where a document does not contain the required terms under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 the agreement cannot be enforced.

 

In addition should you continue to pursue me for this debt you will be in breach of the OFT guidelines, I draw your attention to the Office of Fair Trading’s guidance on debt collection

The OFT guidance which was issued July 2003 (updated December 2006) relating to debt collections and what the OFT considers unfair, I have enclosed an excerpt from page 5 of the guidance which states

 

2.6 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

 

h. Ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment

 

I require you to produce a compliant copy of my credit agreement to confirm I am liable to you. If you cannot do so I require written clarification that this is the case. Should you ignore this request I will report you to the Office of Fair Trading to consider your suitability to hold a credit licence in addition to a complaint to Trading Standards, as you will be in breach of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 section 40

 

Since the agreement is unenforceable it would be in everyone’s interest to consider the matter closed and for you to write the debt off. I suggest you give serious consideration to this as any attempt of litigation will be vigorously defended and I will counter claim for all quantifiable damages

 

I respectfully request a response to this letter in 14 days

 

 

I trust this out lines the situation

looks good- personally i would delete the sentence at the end which starts "since the agreement is unenforceable"

 

to my mind if produced in court it gives the impression that this is the aim of your vigorous defence

 

let them make the decision to write it off - don't suggest it

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Re: My request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

Thankyou for you letter dated 24th April 2009.

 

I would firstly like to address your comment that I have given no valid reason to dispute this debt.

I believe you are fully aware why I am disputing this debt and the reasons have been explained to you in my letters to you dated, 10th February and 15th April 2009.

 

On 21/01/2009 I wrote to you requesting that you supply me a true copy of the executed credit agreement for this account.

The documents you supplied me within the Subject Access Request bundle appear to be no more than an application form, and as such are not a satisfactory response to my request. Nowhere on the front of the document is there any reference to the prescribed terms and conditions that such an agreement must contain. Further, the reverse of the sheet you supplied is there any reference to the front. I must assume that these are unconnected documents and once again inadequate to satisfy your obligations.

 

I would also like you to elaborate on what you mean by, “The application you signed when taking out the account includes the credit agreement in an abridged form on the reverse”

 

It is my understanding that abridged means, Shortened, cut down, condensed, censored.

Does this mean that this in actual fact is not a true copy of the original agreement, but something that you have put together to look like it is?

 

Since this document does not contain the required prescribed terms within the main body of the agreement it is rendered unenforceable by s127 (3) consumer Credit Act 1974, which states

 

127(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a)(signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under section 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor or hirer (whether or not in the prescribed manner).

  • 3 weeks later...

personally i would respond along these lines:-

 

 

The "representation" of the agreement that you sent in response to my request shows that in several respects, not least of which is that the agreement is incorrectly headed and therefore is only enforceable by a court.

 

Furthermore , it is my opinion that the terms that you suggest were on the back of this agreement are not in fact the terms that were originally there and in any subsequent legal proceedings it would be my intention to put you to strict proof thereof

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing i thank you for confirming in your letter of XXXX (it is the one in post 8 which is not dated) the following:-

 

I refer to your letter of XXX (it is the one in post 8 that is not dated),

 

specifically i draw your attention to your statement:-

 

" we only have to provide you with a copy of the signed credit agreement when we seek to legally enforce the debt or take legal action against you"

 

please advise me at your convenience when you will "seek to legally enforce the agreement" or alternatively "take legal action against me" at which time I will again request a copy of the original signed agreement which you kindly confirm you will supply to me at that time

Thanks DD, it just feels like i'm going round and round in circles with Halifax at the moment.

I sent a letter to Blair,Oliver & Scott yesterday in response to their intended court action telling them account is still in dispute etc etc.

I must draft up a letter to Halifax over the next few days, i will use your paragraphs too as they sound much better than what i could put together.

I wonder whether they will issue a court claim :confused:

i've just received the same document from them- smashing that sentence will come back to hauant them time and again if caggers use it properly

 

also just had what appeared to be a payslip, blue chequered back private and confidential on the front and the three sides perforations

 

opened it and lo and behold its from our friends halifax

 

inside it says

 

Our Representative will be calling your home on XXXXXXX 2009

 

Please telephone 0845 300 0580 if this is not conevenient

 

 

NOTICE:@ the very clever and deliberate mis typing of the first sentence with the word "AT" missing

 

this i presume is so that if you make a complaint about a home visit having stated you will not accept home visits they wil then say

 

"What home visit? we never said we were going to make a home visit Guv Honestly"

Hello all,

Just an update on this thread.

Halifax passed me over to Moorcroft and i sent them the bemused letter and that was the end of them.

I now have a letter from Robinson Way along with account statements and a copy of the applcation form that i disputed with Halifax in the first instance.

Shall i send them a letter back giving full details of why i have disputed this CCA or just keep it brief and say this is the same document that i have already disputed with halifax??

Thanks Livis xx

dear sirs,

 

thank you for the copy of the application form which i already have

 

When will you be sending a true copy of the executed credit agreement containing all of the prescribed terms within the signature document and copies of any other documents mentioned within it which will comply with your client's s78 obligtaions?
