    • They wont take you to court. I'm not sure what they'll do about the letters and if they will or wont send you the letters from their retail prevention company, but you can ignore those letters. You'll be just fine don't worry.
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hello everyone, i'm new to this site and found you after having a nasty phone call from dlc and searching google on them.

 

The story:

 

They have been managing the debt since july 06 when me and the wife owed £1400 they have been getting £5 a week since then and about a year ago they asked for more so we pay them £7.50 a week, this was all going fine until Wednesday, they phoned up and said we have not made a payment since 19 Nov, we have relised that my wife's debit card expired, that's is the only reason we think they have collected payment.

 

We have not had a single letter from them since May 08 when they wanted more money and the balance was £730ish, and no phone call's in the last four month's.

 

Now they want the full amount or £25 a week for six month's, which i can't afford, and they would not accept my offer of £10 per week, and told me the balliffs will be round, so i told them to ring back later and i will see if i have the money to make a payment, knowing i wouldn't. She rung back and my wife spoke to them, not taking any crap from them, she said i'll pay you £10 a week, That's not good enought she said and told my wife the balliffs will be round, so my wife said send them and hung up, 2 minute's later the phone rang again, it was them, so my wife shouted down the phone take me to court. ( wish i had her gut's lol )

 

They did bully me and i made a £10 payment that day.

 

Just wondered what i do now?

 

Sorry it's so long

as many say on here Collection Agencies can not send baliffs round

as baliffs are from the court.

do a google search on codes of pratice for debt collectors so you know the game. I once delt with DLC and they woud not accept a 'offer'

kept saying on phone that the want full amount,

soI just said you can whistle for it and put the phone down, carried on paying what I offered. and they never called back and I cleard the debt

just keep paying what you can afford. as long as your paying

there is not a great deal they can do.

if you refuse to 'pay' in whole then they can take action.

hope that lets some light on the subject for you :-)

Firstly stop speaking to them on the phone.

If they ring again, refuse to answer any security questions.

They are legally not entitled to any money off you without a county courts say so 1st.

So stop all payments immediately & demand a refund on what youve paid so far.

Report them to trading standards & the OFT.

DLC are one of the worst DCAs in the book as regards telephone harrassment. I have since changed my number but going back 2/3 years ago, (before I discovered CAG;)) they regularly phoned, asking us to up the payments, threatening bailiffs, forcing the sale of our house, asking if friends or family can pay. I even asked my sister to use her credit card to make a payment which they accepted and I had to pay her back on payday. I even took out Provident loans to pay back extra off the balance owed.

I m so angry that I let them intimidate me in that way, I was digging myself deeper into debt because of them. When I discovered this site, I CCA d them and they havent produced it to date. They have passed it to several companies since, so basically they are full of hot air.

I still have my house and no bailiffs have called. So dont worry:razz:

Does that mean from 2006, claim back all money's?

 

The dept is from a loan for £2000 from welcome finance.

 

Thank's everyone, i really don't mind paying it if i have to, would be nice if i didn't....lol

But would like it done nicer, on my term's, should i just stop and let the court's sort it out?

 

I've been reading on here about CCA, should i go down that route?

They had no legal authority to that money & have simply obtained it off you through threats etc...

So yes - claim every penny back & report their asses to the authorities ;)

Send a Subject Access Request to Welcome, with the £10 fee, DO NOT SIGN THE LETTER, that way you will get all your statements and a copy of the loan agreement and anything else they may have on you. You need to see if they have added PPI onto the loan without you realising, and you need to trawl through your statements to see if there are any account charges that have been added, which you can claim back.

 

Once you have sent this request off, the account will be in dispute and you can write a nice little letter to the DCA stating that, dont phone them! as they will have no right to continue harrassing and collecting on this account until it is sorted.

Hi Missdpd

Wouldn't dl & c have this infomation, if welcome has sold it to them?

 

The debt was so long ago, that i don't know welcome's reference number and i can't find an address to request the infomation.

 

Is there a template letter for the request, i've looked at the one's on here, and the closest is for the CCA

Thank's

They should have had the documentation supplied with assignment (When they bought the debt)

So the onus is on them to supply it.

The Subject access request will get you much more.

If you are seeking a copy of the original agreement,ask also for a copy of the notice or deed of assignment,as well as statements which show the balance when they bought it,and any additional charges/interest thats been added.They should have Welcomes ref Nos.

If they send a letter telling you that your account is on hold whilst they request it from Welcome,then you will know that they have not had it.

I think would also be a good idea to check your credit files to see that defaults and data registered there tie up.

They cannot issue legal proceedings - only a court can do that - they are just trying to put pressure on you. Get all the information you need and if there is no credit agreement, tell DLC to sling their hook.
