    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 everyone, I have read numerous posts on here and found them to be very helpful with several other matters I had, however this is my first post so if i do something wrong...i am sorry and any help would be greatfully received.

 

To be brief I took out a lloyds personal loan in July 2003 at the time i was told by the personal bank manager that because of my previous history with the bank (i had orginally had a student account with them which i wasn't very good at maintaining) that I could only apply for the loan if I took out payment protection. I was a naive 24 year old them so I agreed to go ahead with the loan.

For 12 months i was fine and didn't miss a payment, then in 2004 my wages were reduced at work (bonus related) my reduced salary was crippling me and i started to incur charge after charge for missed DD, going over my overdraft etc etc etc, I did not received any asistance from the branch when i approached them.

 

6 months later and 6 missed loan payments my account was taken away from branch and sent to a colections center in brighton.

i could now only deal with my account over the phone.

After my first contact with them they agreed to set up a payment plan of £100 a month £50 to pay off my overdraft and £50 to pay off my loan.

Over the next year they completely messed up the payment schedule some months taking out double the amount, some months taking out the orginal payment of £183 and also the £100...if I was overdrawn at the time, they wouldn't return the dd insted sent letters insisting i had to pay more money into my account to cover it.

 

i have followed some of the advice on here and also been in to see my bank manager as my account is now back at branch.

 

* I went back to my original £183 payment in August 2007

* In January 2008 I made a final payment of £5979.68 to close the loan.

 

My credit file is showing that the loan is settled but on all the payment months it has an AP assigned to it (arrangement to pay)

This is crippling my credit and I am being refused left right and center.

 

I have the original CCA agreements both my copy and the banks copy they are both unsigned!!! as i dont remember even returning them back to the branch.

I sent a request to lloyds to ask if they had any copys and sent the £1 fee.

I got a nice letter back quote

 

"Thank you for your letter dated 17th February 2009 requesting a copy of your credit agreement.

I am sorry but we are unable to provide you with copies of your loan agreement documents as they were never forwarded to us from the branch the loan was taken out at: however we can provide you with the information you require:

date loan opened, loan amount" etc etc etc

 

My main objective is to get the ap removed from my credit file I have already had £750 in bank fees refunded in 2005 which is half of what I worked out I had been charged. I acepted as I needed the money at the time,

 

Any ideas on what my next step should be???

Also do I have a case for mis sold ppi?

I am missing something else?

Let me know if you need any more info

 

thanks in advance

Hi Dx,

thanks for you reply, I have been thinking...

The times when i went over my overdraft were solely because of the bank charges and overdraft interest charges...which i have since been refunded...it was never more than £35 so if i wasn't paying the ppi then i would never have gone over... it was only in the later months when the bank charges started acruing that things got really messy... i can remember 1 month i had £200 in charges alone. This is when i started missing the loan payments.

do you think this adds any weight to it?

thanks again

well thats good then

if you can prove [prob by you not touching the a/c in-terms of withdrawals] that their ppi/charges/int were the sole contributor then yep they will have to be removed.

 

sri its been quite a while since i did or heard of that as this stay is getting me brain forgetting thinks!

 

good luck

 

there are plenty of threads about the process though you seem pretty clued up.

Having slept on this one again.... because the bank cannot provide me with the original signed credit agreement and the loan was taken out pre 2006... does this deem it unenforceable? I do realise that because I continued to make payments that by default I have entered into a contract of sorts but surely this simple contract would not abide to the orginal arrangements such as when to pay and amount to pay etc., so as such surely I would not be in breach of contract when payments were missed

Do you think I am clutching at straws???

If not...I am composing a letter today...should I address all of these issues in the same letter or address each one separately

ie:

1. missold ppi, p.s this agreement I have is also unsigned

2. unsigned credit agreement,

3. failings by the bank to treat me fairly

4. Bank charges (which have been refunded) were a sole contributer to the poor state of my account

5. I am also looking into discrimination based on earnings as when all this happened I was on a salary of about £11k per annum...the bank hardly had time for me...now i earn in excess of 6 figures and I have my own personal bank manager who phones me on a regular basis just to see how i am!!!! they cant do enough for me now. BTW I have asked him about these issues and unfortunately he hasn't got a clue.

it prob would mean it is unenforceable, but not because of pre 2006 though, whatever that is?

TBH, yes, i think your are clutching at straws & i wouldn't go down that route, because unltimately i dont think thats what you want to do, shirk you responsibilities.

 

as i said IF you can prove their unfair charges resulted in you getting unkust markers on your CRA, then they would have to be removed, you might have already proved this by them refunding before? so why not ask the question of why were the defaults not removed when they refunded?

 

as for the mis-sold ppi, you have already given enough info here for [in my eyes] a good case.

 

with your current financial situation, i dont thing it will take too much for them to cough esp as they have not proff against it.

how about you produce your copy of the agreement [which every good customer has kept! lucky you] that should prove it.

Thanks again for you advice dx...

To clarify i repaid the loan in full in January 2008 and I dont owe them any money...I just need to get the ap removed from my credit file.

The 2006 thing is the updated CCA which states that you dont always need a true signature as applications can be made electronically. As my loan was taken out before that it doesn't apply.

 

I think you have helped me make up my mind on this, I will firstly try a more personal approach see how far that gets me before I start quoting CCA/ data protection/ deformation of charater legislation etc etc etc

 

What makes me really frustrated is that at the time they decided to reshedule my payments they said nothing about it crippling my credit file and the affects it would have on my future...if I had known then what i knew now there is no way I would have agreed to it. If fact thats what all the letters say..."here is your new payment schedule" not here is your arrangement to pay.. i have found this to be the practice of many organisations and I would like to lobby for a more transparent system especially in todays market where you are judged on your credit score and not on your affordibility....but that is another fight

 

thanks again i will keep this post updated
