    • Hi. Welcome to CAG. How was the car purchased?  
    • 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. Defendant's WS - version 1.pdf
    • 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.

    • 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 fellow caggers...

 

Any assistance with this would be helpful.

 

Got a loan from a company called Speedloan for £600 last year,made payments of £88 until a got in to difficulty and basically stopped paying.Anyway got a claim form from Northampton court dated 28th April basically stating that loan was for 600 have paid 352 and is now in arrears and they are claiming for 704.00 with 60 court costs.

On a side note Chantry who I belive is their legal dept has been sending me letters stating amount owed is £1400.

 

I have not sent off for a CCA from these guys but would like to dispute on the grounds of obscene charges.

 

Would I have enough time if I sent off a CCA request tomorrow ?

Could I defend claiming extra charges ?

If worst comes to worst the most I could pay is about £5 per week due to other financial commitments so would the court enforce this after checking my I&E sheet ?

Or is there a better route to go down for these muppets ?

Have they actually issued court papers as yet ?

 

Do you have a statement of all their charges ?

 

I have a blue form stamped Northampton county court with details of the loan.

Also as part of the form is an income/expenditure section and a part asking if I want to defend,part defend,admit the claim etc...

 

No statement of charges which have doubled the actual loan itself.

 

As a side note I have a number of letters from Chantry with this debt showing a completly different amount of £1400 so could I use this to discriminate their case..

 

Or is this a scare tactic ?

 

Is it too late to send them a SAR ?

In that case you need to:-

1. Do CPR 31.14 immediately

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

2. Do DPA request

3. File Acknol of Service with court indicating that you are going to defend all of the claim

4. Post copy of summons, CCA and DN and letters from them

5. When did you get the summons?

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

Summons dated 28 April got it yesterday in post.

 

Have not got a CCA or DN letter from them,not sent off a CCA request unfortunately.

The account has been with Chantry who after various phone calls refused to except payment plan and kept changing the amount owed on the account ( I have letters from them showing various offer payments etc )

Can I still send off a CCA request or SAR..

Hi JJ as IGNM has said the CPR needs to be sent ASAP by recorded delivery to the opposing solicitors - may I ask what the POC's are ? (Particulars Of The Claim)

 

Hi...

The claim is as follows :

 

Defendant obtained a loan for £600 7th Jan 08 followed by ref no

 

Loan for 12 months and payments £88

 

Defendant has paid £352 against loan and is in arrears

 

Full balance due is £704 and therefore outstanding and payable immeidatly by defendant

 

This agreement is regulated by consumer credit act 1974 and a default notice has been served on the defendant.

 

Dont remember any default notice but I could have binned it so not sure ?

 

Do I have a good case to defend ?

 

As I said it has been with Chantry for a number of months

Send this recorded delivery to the opposing solicitors ASAP...just keep a sharp eye on the timescales......you have to acknowledge the claim within 14 days of the date on the claim form, if you do want to defend, then state defend, then you get a further 14+3 days in which to submit a defence.....but it is too early at this stage to put a defence as they have to address your CPR request....depending on what they send back (if anything) then it can be created around their response/non response - in the meantime spend some time reading around these forums...

 

Dear Sir,

 

Re: (Claimant's name) v (Your name) Case No:

CPR 31.14 Request

 

On (date) I received the Claim Form in this case issued by you out of the (Name) County Court.

 

I confirm having returned my acknowledgement of service to the court in which I indicate my intention to contest all of your claim.

 

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of [each of the following / the] document(s) mentioned in your Particulars of Claim:

 

1 the agreement. You will appreciate that in an ordinary case and by reason of the provisions of CPR PD 16 para 7.3, where a claim is based upon a written agreement, a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s) should be available at the hearing. Further, that any general conditions incorporated in the contract should also be attached.

 

3 the default notice

 

4 the termination notice

 

Although your claim is for a sum which is not more than £5,000.00 and will in all likelihood be allocated to the small claims track for determination upon my delivering a defence, at this moment in time I have not delivered my defence and the case has not been allocated to a track. In consequence the provisions of CPR 27(2) are of no effect and you should not seek to avoid compliance with your CPR 31 duties by claiming otherwise

 

You should ensure compliance with your CPR 31 duties and ensure that the document(s) I have requested are copied to and received by me within 7 days of receiving this letter. Your CPR 31 duties extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for the originals of the documents I have requested, the better for you to be able to verify the document's authenticity and to provide me with a legible copy. Further, where I have requested a copy of a document, the original of which is now in the possession of another person, you will have a right to possession of that document if you have mentioned it in your case. You must take immediate steps to recover and preserve it for the purpose of this case.

 

Where I have mentioned a document and there is in your possession more than one version of that same document owing to a modification, obliteration or other marking or feature, each version will be a separate document and you must provide a copy of each version of it to me. Your obligations extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for any version(s) to include an obligation to recover and preserve such version(s) which are now in the possession of a third party.

 

In accordance with CPR 31.15© I undertake to be responsible for your reasonable copying costs incurred in complying with this CPR 31.14 request.

 

If you require more time in which to comply with this request you must tell me in writing. You must tell me before the time for compliance with this request has expired. In telling me you require more time you must tell me what steps you have taken and propose to take in order to comply with this request and also state a date by when you will comply with this request. In addition your statement must be accompanied with a statement that you agree to an extension of the time for me to file my defence. Your extension of time must be not less than 14 days from the date when you say you will have complied with my request and you must state the new date for filing my defence.

 

If you are unable to comply with this request and believe that you will never be able to comply with this request you must tell me in writing.

 

Please note that if you should fail to comply with this request, fail to request more time or fail to agree to an extension of time for the filing of my defence, I will make an application to the court for an order that the proceedings be struck out or stayed for non-compliance and a summary costs order.

 

I do hope this will not be necessary and look forward to hearing from you.

 

yours faithfully

Thanks 42man....is there a legal time limit for when they have to reply to my request ?

 

Also I guess my defence will be non compliance of document request or if they do send any documents will I put that as my defence for the court ?

Just noticed after reading through the court form that I can part dispute the amount owed.

If that is the case I would only owe £250 altogether.

Anybody have any advice regarding this course of action ?

 

If I admitted to the debt but disputed I only owed £250 and the rest was charges would a judge be swayed with this argument ?

Or if a credit agreement turns up will the judge look at the high percentage for missed payments and say fair enough it's in the contract ?

Could I claim that the creditors refusal to reduce payments for a short time contributed to the arrears ?

 

 

Has anybody else manged to file this defence and win,especially against speedloan ?

1. They should reply to the CPR 31.14 request within 7 days of receipt - if they don't you need to tell us and we'll tell you what to do next

2. At this stage I would dispute ALL of the debt - lets check to see if the agreement is enforceable or not

3. If you later decide that you want to admit liability for the £250 you can then do a CPR Part 36 Offer

 

PART 36 - OFFERS TO SETTLE - Ministry of Justice

 

but we can look at that nearer the time - at this stage I'd take it it by bit - lets get all the info first

 

As far as Speedloan are concerned - I've never come across them before

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

Excellent thanks for that info..I was worried that I could not claim only part of the debt once I disputed all of it first.

If I send the form today (rec del ) will I take the start date from Tuesday 5th what with a bank holiday in place ?

 

Speed loan was a small loan I got out (stupidly ) last year when I needed to make a mortgage payment and was having payment difficulties.

It was done via one of those small western union offices you get dotted about.

Come to think of it there were no credit checks or anything I just signed a document and was handed the money at that local office.

You can dispute part of it but if you do you would still get a CCJ...

 

 

Ahhhh the fly in the ointment...well my credit record is pretty shot but would like to aviod a CCJ if possible

I suspose if I fail to prove the documents are not correct I will also get a CCJ plus court costs.

On the other hand with my income and expenditure I only have about £5 spare once I pay all my other creditors so would the court award this as payment towards the debt ?

 

What days would I class as the seven days for the relevant forms to be sent to myself.

I have posted the CPR31.14 today first class rec delivery..

 

Turns out Speedloan is in fact Abarmarble & Bond...once the lady in the Post Office searched their post code...

Will be searching the forums on these jokers..

In answer to your post 15, yes a court will only order what you can afford....

 

Not a pawnbrokers but some small finance company in Wakefield giving out small unsecured no credit check loans to pay back on a weekly or monthly basis.

Google speedloan finance you'll be impressed with their outstanding website...lol

 

What is a Tomlin order ?

 

Also regarding my court papers that are dated 28 April will the 14 day limit be due on May11th ( I am including the actual 28th as a day and also weekends)

14 days for the Acknowl of Service you then have another couple of weeks to file a proper defence - yes bank holidays and weekends count

 

A Tomlin Order is an agreed Order that you will pay a fixed sum every month but it doesn't (providing you comply with it) result in a CCJ. The Order provides that if you don't pay as agreed that they can register a CCJ immediately

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

I like the sound of the tomlin order.Is that something you request to the court at a hearing.

Also I assume the fixed sum is based on the ability of what you can pay..

No a Tomlin Order is something that you negotiate with the other side - the court can't impose one - it avoids costs - here there might be scope because as a small claim they won't recover their costs BUT initially you need to file your AoS and proceed on the basis that it is gonna be a trial.

Sorry but what is an AOS ? and are you saying this can be negotiated before any court action ?

When you received the summons you would also have received a response pack - which would have included a defence form and an acknoledgment of service form (AoS). You need to return the AoS indicating that you intend to defend the case.

 

In terms of a Tomlin Order - any negoitiation needs to be conducted on a "Without Prejudice" basis - all of your letters - don't do telephone negotiations - need to have "Without Prejudice" on them.

 

You can suggest a Tomlin Order at any point BUT I would suggest that you file your AoS saying that you are going to dispute all of the claim first. In suggesting a Tomlin Order you need to have worked out exactly how much you can afford to pay - if you end up with an agreement AND you default you end up with a CCJ

 

The way you usually do it is do a letter, marked Without Predjudice, telling them that you propose that the case is settled on the on the basis of the attached Tomlin Order - you then attach a draft Tomlin Order which incorporates the amount and the monthly payment

If I've helped feel free to add to my reputation.

When you received the summons you would also have received a response pack - which would have included a defence form and an acknoledgment of service form (AoS). You need to return the AoS indicating that you intend to defend the case.

Thanks for exlaining the AOS...

So at any point up to the court case you can drsft a Tomlin letter or is there a deadline to this ?

 

When you recommend a pyment amount can you also stipulate you only want to pay what should be owed or would these agreement be for the amount that the creditor is claiming for ?
