I have just been told about this apparently they are one of the "duff" variety of claims management companies that have sprung up and I am told it only applies to their claims for their clients, I have been given the impression that the solicitors in question are perhaps not as good as some at making claims.....

 

This comes to me from one of the big claims management firms who are rubbing their hands at another copycat company going out of business, or certainly out of their business arena.

 

 

I agree I stupidily paid £300 to a firm acting as if they would get written off my credit card through an uneforceable agreement. After six months they wrote to me to say that they would now not be taking it any further and they have done there job, which was to find out that the agreement is actually unenforceable.

They now say i have to take the creditor to court my self if I should wish to continue.

They also said that the courts were starting to take a different view now about debt, so it is too risky to take it to court. They did admity they they are not legal experts and just mortgage consultants by profession.

 

So basically I got ripped off! At least I found out early and thanks to this site I am now doing it myself!!!

If that became case law, i guess a lot of us would be stuffed, all those application forms without prescribed terms would become valid,

 

You can see how they could push for this couldnt you,it would really suit them.

If they have your signature on an application form and have used the card ,Weve already seen judges asking people "have you had the goods" etc etc" and finding in favour of creditor, maybe this is the next step,

 

lets hope faulty DN"s will be unchallenged, i have quiet a few of them:grin:

They would like to think that but unfortunately it doesn't exempt them from the requirements of s.61(a)

MBNA can think what they like.

However unfortunately for them, multiple opinions from Bradley Say show that he does not agree!

Hopefully this is one that will go all the way to the House of Lords - as did Wilson

Hello Paul!

 

MBNA are adamant that section 189 is valid for the prescibed terms to be included in a document other than the signature document?
Answering generally here, not to see you off, but to see MBNA off...

 

Well, they would say that, as they have so many Agreements where they have shot themselves in both feet because of the way they have omitted Prescribed Terms or referred to them in other documents.

 

Sadly for the MBNA, this issue has been taken all the way, and the following, which I know many of us are aware of, but it is worth stating again nevertheless for the benefit of others, will give MBNA something of a problem:

 

I refer to the judgment of TUCKEY LJ in the case of Wilson and another v Hurstanger Ltd [2007] EWCA Civ 299"[11] Schedule 1 to the 1983 Regulations sets out the "information to be contained in documents embodying regulated consumer Credit Agreements". Some of this information mirrors the terms prescribed by Schedule 6, but some does not. Contrasting the provisions of the two schedules the Judge said:

 

“33 In my judgment the objective of Schedule 6 is to ensure that, as an inflexible condition of enforceability, certain basic minimum terms are included which the parties (with the benefit of legal advice if necessary) and/or the Court can identify within the four corners of the Agreement. Those minimum provisions combined with the requirement under s61 that all the terms should be in a single document, and backed up by the provisions of s127(3), ensure that these core terms are expressly set out in the Agreement itself: they cannot be orally agreed; they cannot be found in another document; they cannot be implied; and above all they cannot be in the slightest mis- stated. As a matter of policy, the lender is denied any room for manoeuvre in respect of them. On the other hand, they are basic provisions, and the only question for the Court is whether they are, on a true construction, included in the Agreement. More detailed requirements, which are designed to ensure that the Debtor is made aware, so far as possible, of specified information (including information contained in the minimum terms) are to be found in Schedule 1."

MBNA can chant and mutter s189 as much as it likes, but it won't help them.

 

Unless, that is, the Judiciary are trying to find a way around this. Money buys quite a lot. But are number money IOUs from an American Bank who their own Government has just told them that they are short of a few dozen billion dollars actually worth anything?

 

The real issue is probably all the jobs for Chester hoodies, as the MBNA will have a lot of clout if they start saying they will have no option but to exit Chester and land the Town with a huge Dole Queue problem, and matching revenue slump in the local economy for Alcopops, toys, taxis, comics and fast food.

 

Cheers,

BRW

The judge also said: "... that these core terms are expressly set out in the Agreement itself":.....confusing and contradictory.

Paul we had enough with case law, Bennion and Goode to argue that the prescribed terms have to be part of the signature doc....I don't have the reference's to hand right now but I have them on my other PC as I have used this myself.

 

My personal thoughts are that this is more about the flood of claims about to hit under the 2006 unfair relationships reg rather than prescribed terms

Agreed, should be within the sig doc, however, creditors continue to cite sec 189.

It appears to be the case.

Debt escape court cases put on hold | This is Money

This is my thoughts as well. This looks to be more about the consumer taking the CCCs to court via these claim companies. I imagine the courts will still entertain the cases brought by the Creditors.

 

If it does get tied up in the courts until 2011 then there are going to be an awful lot of statute barred accounts which kind of defeats the object doesnt it ?

Well, of course they will!

 

At the end of the day that is simply their opinion.

Barristers hold a different opinion.

 

If MBNA are so certain, why don't they take me and others concerned to court then?

Why don't they issue?

"As the move has the backing of Lord Justice Moore-Bick, the deputy dead of Civil Justice, it is likely to be copied by county courts nationwide."

Agreed!

 

Many are only to well aware of the 'Unfair Relationship Test", fully implemented October 2008 and restrospective.

 

Better look out MBNA, you certainly levied contractual interest on my default/overlimit penalty charges;

breached the alleged contract;

mis-sold PPI etc...

 

Oh My!!!

 

Lastly, both Citi and MBNA/Bank of America are in deep doo doo with the US Gov.

so if the test cases are given a genuine fair hearing, (big if), it could be good news.... it's just the 'carefully selected cases' phrase that unsettles me.:|

Definately

Let us all hope that this is not a case of the Judiciary trying to move the goal post!

 

My particular claim is valid and above board;

I personally, would find it insulting to have my case bundled in with that of 'The Rankines', or how the Judge viewed these individuals.

 

The Judiciary must been seen by the general consumer as fair and unbiased, they should be above such.
