    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability. Many thanks   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  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 has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has 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 £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

Lexis.

I have a concise paper trail, showing the time line in 2007 up to the end.

After the usual flurry of polite phone calls and letter writing, I was

begining to think I was going mad :smile:

About April time, BPF rang me, there was a Very Nice Lady from Customer

Relations (fraudulent description if ever I've seen one). I digress.

VNL said I owed lots of money to them and when could I pay by.

For about the eighteenth time, I explained the situation. VNL said I was

talking a load of b........ks :eek: After initial shock, I descibed what paperwork I had. Her reply " We have no interest in any other papers. We

have your signed agreement, we will force it through" I queried the way

she was talking. VNL came out with a classic 'We are Barclays, so we can do this' :mad:

I did invite her to put all of this in writing, but the phone went down on me.

You did suggest changing threads. Do I need to do all this over again ? I

sure there must be a system for a swop :-)

Well folks I hope you are all enjoying posting on my thread.:lol: The legal part of my claim against Bank 2 has begun and I am now filling up the paperwork for the court. This is the first time I have taken a bank to court but I don't find the thought too daunting. I have 2 cases to raise against this bank - 2 invalid defaults - so I am doing the forms together but I will raise the cases one at a time. If Case 1 is a bum steer then I can forget Case 2. I have nothing to lose here. It's Scots Law but all the legislation is UK wide. I'll let you know when I have finally filed the first case at court.

I am now tweeking the 1st claim and it looks awfully legal!:lol: The Sheriff will probably take one look at it and say "What a lot of tosh!" The SAR for this account's time limit runs out on 30 June so I will submit the claim on 1 July. I don't think they are going to reply. They returned my £10 for the SAR the other account with them. I wrote to them again asking for copies of the default and termination notices for both accounts and they haven't replied to that either. I won't bother with the Information Commissioner as the court can deal with it. I can use an incidental application for information once I have submitted the claim.

I'm in an interesting dialogue with a director of one of the CRAs and I think I have rattled him - good. He has twice written to me trying to justify why CRAs accept information from banks, including that the banks have "contractual obligations" to the CRAs. That's tosh. The banks submission and the CRAs recording of information is purely voluntary and not governed by any contract. Anyway, I feel as if I am in a real scrap with him and that I have got him worried. And so he should be! If I am successful in court, I will be going after the CRAs.:grin:

Good luck Pinky I have a couple of creditors insisting they can process my data even though they have no CCA`s to back them up. They state I must have agreed to my data being processed and so that is enough!

 

Will follow your thread as i think the cra`s pass the buck and try to wriggle out of everthing.

Things are moving on. Bank 1 have said they need another 7 days for investigation - they have had nearly 2 months and that is all they are getting. Claim form completed this weekend and will be submitted next Thursday. They did not reply to SAR. Will be raising that in court rather than with the ICO. They haven't a legal leg to stand on.

 

Bank 2 - no SAR replies. Also preparing their cases (2) this weekend.

 

Bank 3 - have replied their DN is valid. Did not reply to SAR. Yeh, Yeh, yeh. It's off to court we go.

 

So that's it. We have reached the stage where it is time to hand over to the Sheriff. I will keep you informed of progress.

Sent 2 Special Deliveries yesterday - both received today - one to Bank 1 saying they have had enough time to investigate and have not answered my SAR and similar to Bank 2 saying they have not answered my SAR. My thinking behind this is that I want the court to see I gave them plenty of opportunity to give me the information in spite of the fact they have now breached the DPA again. I will be doing so with Bank 3 this weekend.

Case 2, Bank 2 is ready (credit card, no agreement, invalid DN). Case 1, Bank 1 (entered default after account fully settled and it sat on my credit reference reports for 3 years, now removed) is more straightforward so I'll be doing that tomorrow. I won't give you the details of the cases for now but Case 2, Bank 2 involves no less than 9 breaches of law in a couple of pages. I'll be interested in their response when their lawyers get a hold of it. I'll be lodging it and Case 1 at the local Sheriff Court on 1 July. Case 2, Bank 2 is a test case I have 2 cases against Bank 2. I will see how the first case goes and then raise the second case. The case against Bank 3 is for a credit card too but different again because the DN breaches are different. I will get to work on that once I have the case against Bank 1 done.

 

I expect the local Sheriff will be pleased to see me! By the time he has seen the back of me he will be on 20 vallium a day!! :lol:

Cases against Banks 1 and 2 are ready - 3 cases in total. Case 4 against Bank 3 will be attended to this weekend. Have received letter from Equifax this morning to say the entry by Bank 1 has been removed from my file with them and will not appear again - I should b well think not!!:lol:

Case 4 now ready but it needs quite a lot of tweaking. This is the trickiest of the 4 and the hardest of the 4 to prove my case. If I lose, it will be this one but I have nothing to lose going for it. I now realise that I need to hold off for a couple of weeks to make sure all 4 have been given enough time for SAR responses.

Have had a letter to day from Bank 1 - they have upped their offer by £200 -they should coco! They are trying to argue that whilst general damage to creditworthiness need not be quantified, it has to be proved.Wrong!! In Durkin the Sheriff made 2 points 1) "the mere injury to credit" merits an award of damages and 2) general damage is presumed - it doesn't have to be proved. Bank 1 need to get better solicitors. So I have replied - think again bonnie lads or it is off to court we go! :razz:

That he did and I seem to recall he awarded £1000:D

 

Think they need to up their offer.

Pinky have a quick look at my thread here

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/206827-getting-your-money-back.html maybe of interest with the ones that have no CCA;)

Thank you, Sparta - I did read your thread earlier. The emphasis for me is not the fact that 2 banks did not have agreements but on the fact that they had invalid Default Notices. It is that followed by termination that makes the defaults on my credit reports breaches of the DPA 1998. They won't remove them so I am going to court. The cases are prepared and I am waiting on one SAR reply, which I am told I will receive on 6 July. I have also taken legal advice and been told Small Claims should fix it so I am ready to go!:D

On the night shift again Pinky!

 

Been following this thread with interest as I have a couple of candidates, along with the CRA's who it appears have dropped themselves in it as well.

 

Be interested to see what your POC's looked like, (after you have nailed their backsides to the floor that is!!!)

 

Good luck with this

I know what you are saying Pinky, but added pressure on them if they cannot produce anything. You can then ask for any money you have paid to be returned to you. They may increse their offer if they think they have to give back all you have paid;)

Love your thread Pinky ,

 

Your approach to removing the DN's is extremely interesting i.e Let the CRA's fight your corner !! I have a DN issued by a now infamous company who terminated my credit card voluntarily and then issued the DN on my file even though they never actually sent me any DN .

 

As i want this removed of my file , would it be possible for you to post any relevant letters that you've sent to the CRA's and any advice on who i should also send copys to ???

 

Much appreciated , and good luck with your fight ... Willeewonker

Thank you for the good wishes. I am not posting any letters just now as there are eariwigs about but once I know the outcomes at court I will post my letters if they have turned out to be effective.

 

Oooh - a bit of intrigue today! Bank 2 at some stage passed both accounts (invalid DN's, terminated) to a DCA. A while back I told the DCA to push off.

I've had a letter from the DCA today to say that the bank is saying to them they have nothing on file to support what I told the DCA. Ah Ha! Liars. This is because I have one DN and have mislaid the other (but I remember seeing it and it too is invalid) so I asked them for copies of both DN's - no replies and no replies to SARs. The DCA said the Bank's complaints department asked me to contact them, yet the same complaints department told me not to write to them as they wouldn't reply. In that same letter to me the complaints department said 1) THE DEFAULT NOTICES ARE IN THEIR OPINION VALID - how do they know if they don't have them on file to refer to?? and 2) they confirmed the alleged accounts were terminated - and I have the termination dates from a previous complaint to the FOS. So which DN will they try to reconstruct? - I have told the DCA I have one invalid DN - but I haven't said for which account. So now they have to toss a coin wondering which DN I don't have. I am a fiendish witch!!:lol: Heads they lose, tails they lose. If they say they have no DN for one of the accounts, they terminated it without a DN and that is still rescission. They shouldn't really try to think - they will give themselves a bumache!!

 

Drip, drip, drip - they are tripping themselves up because different departments don't communicate with each other. I have written telling the DCA to push off again, that I will be producing their letter in court and that the bank is now playing a very dangerous game. I have sent a copy to the bank's complaints department and and another copy to the bank's Chairman, saying it's time he looked into this before their employees perjure themselves.

 

They are digging themselves into a deep hole here - let's see how they try to get out of this one.:p
