    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be 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 it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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 first time in this forum-but have been following with interest the situation over the credit limit issue-ie "The manner in which the credit limit is set" sch 6 for S127(3) purposes in the Leeds case as outlined by Axiom99-especially the case at Leeds County Court where the Judge is having a think about it-Judge Langan and R mitchell-I agree with the arguments here, some method of determination is required. I have two whereby the term states- " The Bank will determine the credit limit and notify you of any changes from time to time"-ok it is in schedule 1-but not schedule 6-Solicitors and experts seem to think that is ok as a prescrbed term for the manner in which the credit limit is determined-how the manner in which you determine something by determining it beats me-My question is has Judge Langan passed down his judgment on this one yet at Leeds-does anyone know-as mentioned by others the judgment here could have very significant consequences.:shock:

I don't think that judgement has been handed down yet I am trying to find out and will post here when I do.It will obviously be of great significance if it is found in favour of the creditor but I will be surprised if it goes that way,not because of legal principles but because of the implications.

Funny that - I have a quote from an MBNA drone on the phone from a couple of weeks ago - "MBNA never takes anyone to court" - I wonder what she meant by that?

 

Perhaps, the MBNA drone meant:

 

In the case of an irredeemably unenforceable credit agreement and/or, a credit agreement that involves a 'Dispute' about the mis-selling of payment protection insurance.

The MBNA company policy, is to sell (assign) the account to a debt buying firm (DCA), this firm will then issue court proceedings throught the Northampton County Court Bulk Centre:

 

MBNA do not wash their dirty pants in public...!

I have established that a judgement was handed down by Judge Langan on 13th November re Lloyds TSB V Mitchell in favour of the claimant-ie the bank-I can not be certain that this is the case in question but it seems likely that it is -the claim/case No. 8XR79750- I understand came from Harrowgate county court. Permission to Appeal and hearing of costs is set for 23rd December 2009. Clearly this issue about " determing the manner in which the credit limit is set could now possibly be given a high profile"-If anyone else has more information on this it would help to see it posted here.

I would like to know what people think of this argument.

 

This argument was used by a CMC appointed barrister. Some bank or other v Mitchell (same guy as in June) Judge Langan (same judge as in June) in Leeds County Court .

Case was heard but judgement was reserved and shold be handed down in the next two weeks -whichever party loses is likely to appeal.

 

One of the prescribed terms within Schedule 6 of the Agreement Regulations is a term stating “the credit limit or the manner in which it will be determined or a statement that there is no credit limit”.It should be noted that the creditor has the option of choosing one of the three means of complying with the requirements of Schedule 6.In the present case the Claimant has most definitely not stated the credit limit within the credit agreement;it has not stated there is no credit limit.

That leaves only the option of stating”the manner in which the credit limit will be determined”.We are concerned therefore with the manner of determination.

 

It is submitted that the words” We set a credit limit and can change it.We will notify you of the limit and any changes” does not satisfy the requirements of Schedule 6.

The statement is meaningless in relation to how the credit limit will be set.

A determination is an ascertainment or fixing and the reference to “the manner” requires reference to some sort of methodology.

 

The claimant will no doubt respond that there are millions of credit agreements which use similar rubric and that the use of such phraseology has become an industry standard.But that misses the point .Parliament was quite specific in its requirements and as was found in Wilson v First County Trust there is no room for tolerance or deviation from the strict requirements of Schedule 6.If this case opens up floodgates then so be it.

do you have the judgement by any chance?was a bit surprised to hear that judgement was issued on the 13th November as I thought the judge wanted a couple of weeks to think about it.

Also I thought it was heard in the Leeds County Court.

Is it just me or is the HMCS website the biggest pile of crap online?virtually impossible to find anything you want on it.

I phoned Leeds County Court and they gave me the details -since I did not know who the bank was I simply mentioned Judge Langan and Mitchell and a rough idea of timescale. The case was heard at Leeds County Court, but proceedings I understand commenced in Harrowgate County Court and presumably transferred to Leeds County Court. It is quite conceivable that this is not the case in question, I am afraid I do not have the judgement. If I have got it wrong I apologise

 

Sorry to take so long to reply-those charming people at AA Credit Card and Bank Of Scotand are sending a "Representative" around to my place on Tuesday, so I have been involved with Solicitors and decided that since these So and SO s wont reply to my letters to hand the matter over to the Lawyers. Sent letter to AA credit card threatening to call the Police if this Rep turns up-but there again they dont respond to letters. If they cant enforce it in Court they try and enforce by harrassment!!-very stressful

Following the recent demise of Cartel Client Review and alleged demise of Ratio Money today on other thread I thought it might be an idea to see if anyone has had any benefit from a CMC and if so what.

Cartel Client Reveiw were on the local Northwest News tonight they certainly benefited 70.000 customers at £495 and the MD paying himself £730,000 PA. He did not turn up to be interviewed on the show as he promised.

Questions asked in the house now

 

From yesterday's Hansard (the official verbatim report of Parliament business) in "Business of the House" http://www.publications.parliament.u...srd/chan64.pdf (pages 389/390) - I know it's already been posted but I thought people might like the link to it.

 

 

Tony Lloyd (Manchester, Central) (Lab):

May we have an early statement on the suspension by Justice Ministers of the Cartel claims handling company, which has milked about £20 million off the public and done very little work for it? It has refused to refund most of the money that it has taken. In particular, will the question about whether there should be an investigation into possible fraudulent activity by Carl Wright, the managing director, and his associates be part of that statement?

 

 

 

Ms Harman:

Any allegations of fraudulent activity will obviously be a matter for investigation by the police. However, it is important that the Ministry of Justice, in its scrutiny of claims handling, can ensure that we protect claimants from bogus claims-handling services and that we can also protect those against whom spurious claims are made.
