    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton  Name of the Claimant ? Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? 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 4546384809766042. The defendant faild 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. The dbt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  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. Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments? I was made redundant and got a less paid job I also spent some time on furlough during covid and spent some 3 months on ssp off work. What was the date of your last payment?  May 2021 Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

HELP!!!:eek:

 

THought everything had gone TOO quiet.

 

Just received this in tonights post. A letter from Optima Legal

 

Notice of Legal Action

 

Our Client MBNA Europe

Balance Outstanding £14,808.01

 

We have been instructed ........

 

As a result , our client may have no alternative other than to commence legal proceedings to obtain a charging order against you.

 

Blah Blah

 

 

It is likely that our clint will require you to complete the income and Asset and Expenditure form, on the the reverse of this letter.

 

 

What do I do now????

 

Is this just a frightener? Hence the words "may", please help.

There is no such thing as a 0% credit card....... someone out there is paying for it, and for once its not going to be me.:razz:

I take it this is just a threat then? I havent even received a DN as yet and they appear to be asking for the full amount they claim I owe even including all the interest from whilst it has been in dispute and their over limit charges etc.

How likely are they to persue by this method? Has anyone experienced a similar experience with Optima at this stage? I am really worried.

Hi Capricorn

 

Do these guy's ever give up, I have letter admitting that they cant give me copy of my cca but does it stop them harassing me for payment ermmmm NO.

I have written to them asking them to send me the cca or to once again confirm that they can not and will never be able to provide me with cca.

They got their pen pushers busy now they insisting that I agree reduced settlement figure urgently.:p I will decline for now lol.

Just so that I do understand the situation correctly, if they respond again with we regret we are unable to send copy of cca, they are not allowed by law to persue the debt, is that the law. They say they are in process of preparing default and will pass account on.

well i received the exact same letter yesterday- this is my reply- feel free to use/adapt it as you wish

 

 

Thank you for your letter of 13th Inst, the contents of which have been noted.

 

The proposition that you will “commence legal proceedings to obtain a charging order” is an interesting one and I await your advices in due course.

 

Your client is in no position to “require” me to complete an Income Asset and Expenditure form.

 

The debt is disputed, however, without any admission of liability and in order to rid myself of the “nuisance value” of your clients claim, I am prepared to attempt to resolve this matter without recourse to the legal system by way of a full and final settlement I therefore look forward to receiving any proposals from your client in this respect.

 

Yours sincerely

Hi Dicky

 

I've sent the letter Cerbsalert recommended yesterday. I have also communicated with Basa who had similar threats some time ago. I feel a little more comfortable now after hearing from Basa that his letter did the trick and he didnt hear from them again.

"you don't WANT a dn- a demand or summons for the full amount will do nicely thank you very much!!"

 

So do I class this letter, which specifies the full amount being demanded as some type of termination letter??

don't think it ACTUALLy demands repayment of the full amount- just says it MAY claim it

 

but a DEFINATE demand for the full amount can be construed as having repudiated the agreement

Hi Capricorn

 

I got very similar wording today but in form of a letter, regarding my account where they have written saying unable to provide copy of original agreement. Has any one else experienced this, all my letters keep showing different people and different dept's.

Its almost as though the right hand truly does not know what the left hand is doing;).

Hi ang

 

I would totally agree. The departments do not speak to each other. They are very keen to get us to talk to them, but only on the phone, which we all know is a "no-no".
