    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. 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 (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed 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. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. 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. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. 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.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.

    • 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.

I really dont know what to do next.

 

I had a thread going on here all about the saga of black horse and my HP agreement but I started a new thread because it is quite long and I dont want to put people off as I need help. Original thread here :http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/163457-black-horse-hire-purchase.html

 

The latest is this, I wrote to BH some weeks ago (back in January) asking them how they arrived at the figures as I believed them to be incorrect, but as usual, BH have totally ignored my letter.

 

About 3 weeks ago I had a letter from them saying that they had now terminated my agreement as I had not paid the arrears and if I did not return the vehicle they would get a court order.

 

I did try to get some advice on here as to what to do but no advice came forth so I took the bull by the horns and wrote back to them saying that the figures were incorrect and I was dissapointed to note that they had ignored my last letter. Anyway I went onto say that as they had charged me interest on tthe acceptance fee, the agreement was unenforceable and that I wanted them to release any interest in the vehicle and write off the agreement without default. If I did not hear from them I would report them to FOS. I also said that if they continued to take action I would defend the claim and put in a counterclaim for damages.

 

Now I dont know whether I done the right thing but I had to do something. The letter was sent at the beginning of this week and I special d'd it so they would have had it Wednesday.

 

Today I have received a court claim from them for a months time. I was thinking that it is because of the .etter I sent, but then I noticed the claim was issued on the 12th so the claim was in the workings already.

 

Obviously, I really dont know what to do now, I really need some help. I have 2 weeks to file a defence.

Hi Suzie – as a result of reading some other posts I have done a little bit of digging into securitisation – pretty heavy reading but I would certainly be questioning whether your Black Horse agreement has been parcelled up along with lots of other agreements and securitised (in other words sold on or assigned to a SPV)

 

It’s a whole new subject to me and I certainly don’t profess to be an expert but the important thing to remember is that with any court claim the claimant must be entitled to make the claim in the first place.

 

With the case of a financial product such as a HP agreement the claimant must be the legal owner of the financial product and a party to the agreement – for instance I couldn’t sue you on behalf of Black horse Finance and vise versa.

 

During the course of my digging I found the following snippet from a LTSB 2001 financial report.

 

The Group’s subsidiary, Black Horse Limited (formerly Chartered Trust plc),

entered into transactions whereby it disposed of its interest in portfolios of motor vehicle and caravan instalment credit agreements for a total of

£980 million to Cardiff Automobile Receivables Securitisation (UK)

 

Okay that was in 2001 but have Black Horse continued to securitise their portfolios of products?

 

So I would start with the question – can Black Horse sue me in their own right with regards to an alleged agreement (enforceable or not) that they possibly do not have legal ownership of and could merely be administering the agreement for an SPV such as Cardiff Automobile Receivables Securitisation (UK) or similar company. In which case the claim is being made by the wrong company – does that make sense?

 

It is the same reason that a DCA cannot sue a debtor on behalf of a creditor – they have to have ownership by absolute assignment before they can do that. It’s a murky business that’s for sure.

 

Not sure what to suggest but perhaps a letter to the claimants solicitors requesting confirmation as to whether your agreement is the subject of securitisation by Black Horse – this confirmation should be by way of a notarised document.

 

Other than that you will obviously need to get your defence sorted out to avoid judgement by default. I suggest you send out the CPR 31.14 request for information to the claimants solicitors. Have a look at the following thread if you haven’t already.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/159445-getting-them-reveal-their.html

 

Was the claim made via Northampton?

Atwozee, thank you for replying.

 

I have been hearing snippets about securitisation and thanks to your explanation I understand.

 

The court papers were issued in the Central london County Court. I dont know what relevance Northampton has.

 

I dont have much time to get my defence in, do I need to get that CPR thing before I file a defence? Also, what do I actually put in my defence?

 

I am panicking big time now!

I think you need advice from someone more knowledgeable about claims of this type – Northampton bulk centre allows for online (money) claims – this is clearly not that type of claim and I don’t want to give you any duff advice.

It might be a good idea to post up the particulars of claim (removing any personal details) for better advice.

And possibly a timeline of events leading up to the claim (just so other caggers don’t have to work through the other threads) I remember you approached them with a VT but this wasn’t acted on by Black Horse and it got a bit messy from there on in.

I have read through that thread Atwozee, very interesting. Poor BC seems to still be battling with it. the only difference is mine is HP agreement but the default notice and court papers all worded exactly the same.

 

I have tried PM Surfaceagent but his box is full. I feel I should defend, just dont know what to put.

Well if you don’t get any further help I suggest you base your defence around the defence written by x20 in that thread because it seems to cover the important facts that will need to be addressed by the court – when it gets to the hearing stage you can obviously raise the matter of the VT which was ignored by BH.

I need to mention in my defence that the figures on the credit agreement are wrong and that I believe black horse have charged interest on the acceptance fee which they cannot do as in the case of Wilson v FCT. I dont know how to word it, can anyone help ........ Please

Guest suziedarkness

Yes Cosalt, I did and got the usual response from them ..................... nothing!!

 

I have no choice but to take the bull by the horns now, I have drafted out my defence but need to put in it about them charging interest on the acceptance fee. They may well deny it but I have had it checked out by a couple of different financial people not caggers and they both said that they have charged interest on it. if they havent, then the figures are wrong anyway.

 

Hows yours going?

With reference to you pm, I'm not legally trained but you are right to put in about the figures being wrong and that you have tried to clarify these with BH, refer to your correspondence in support and also enclose the Wilson case. I think you would be better to pm a site team member Paul (PTxx) and refer them to your thread but I would put your claim up and POC first so that they can see what they are dealing with.

 

Good luck

Hi SD,

 

sorry to see you back.

 

Now If I remember rightly, I did inform you that BH would not acknowledge a thing you said! That much I know.

 

BH/Lloyds take everything to the millimetre, they have no concept of court actions or orders, they work to the premise, YOU WILL GIVE UP!

 

That from experience is their standard MO.

 

Like in my previous eperience with them, they claimed the car and £2400, I settled at £1000. As I had already offered them £750 in F&F, it didn't bother them, they took a loss to take me to Court.

 

They will fight all the way. Now you know this, you need the help from the legal team.

 

BH/Lloyds will give you nothing (EVER) They won't comply, but they squeal like pigs when you hold their BALLS.

 

I'll do all I can to help you.

Hi Suzie, sorry I have been a little busy and have not replied.

 

With regards to a defence I will admit I am out of my depth, you need help from someone in the know.

 

I will hit the red traingle for you ( assuming you have not done it ) don't lose faith, someone will help you !

Hi Suzie

 

Do you have a copy of the agreement you could let us have a look at? If you can post it up with your details blanked out we can see if it is enforcable.

 

Also is there an under writers sheet with it?. The reason i ask is that if someone was given commission for getting you the loan, it will be unenforcable. Check out Wilson v Hurstanger here:

WARNING TO ALL

Thanks for posting UKAviator. A copy of the CCA can be found here on one of my original threads on the matter http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/168115-mathematicians-needed-help-credit.html you need to go to post #13.

 

There is no underwriting sheet, I have not done SAR because it is a HP agreement for a car.
