    • where does anything say its a penalty charge please? sit on your hands , stop begging to everyone await if/when you ever get a letter of claim. thread title updated     
    • Hi all, new member, being advised by someone on another forum but looking for the opinion of others to help me decide what to do.  Bit of a long one but I am looking for some quite specific advice or signposting to somewhere that may hold the correct information. Long story short, I bought an Audi on finance years ago and traded my old car in under the diesel scrappage scheme, brilliant. This allowed me to reduce the value of my brand new car by £7,000 Fast forward a few years later and I fell into hardship. Unfortunately I could no longer afford the car and despite my best efforts at trying to negotiate some kind of support from VWFS (Audi financial Services), the car was subsequently marked stolen and I was pulled over at the side of the road using Tactical Pursuit and Contain. My car was then recovered back to the finance company. I struggled for a while, bought an older car to get myself by and eventually got my finances back on track. Then in September of last year I became aware of a CCJ against me filed by VWFS, for the shortfall of the agreement minus the value of the car which was sold at auction. This caused me to do some research into my agreement, legislation and also consult some legal advice. Using another forum and speaking to retired vehicle finance lawyers, it turned out I may have some grounds to apply to set aside the CCJ at a Court hearing, so I drafted some documents and a witness statement and I was successful in setting aside the CCJ, on the grounds that VWFS had no evidence that I had traded in my old car as a part exchange. Now this is where things get complicated. My whole defence on winning the case against VWFS and disregarding liability for the shortfall rested on the fact that, with my old car as a part exchange, I had paid in more than a third of the agreement and VWFS could not repossess my car without a court order or they would be in breach of Section 90 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and I would be entitled to all sums paid under the agreement. I took this all the way, noting that the CCA 1974 and the Consumer Credit Agreement Regulations 2010 state that a deposit is defined as any exchange of goods or by any other means a reduction in value of a purchase by means of a transfer. I recently had my day in Court but as a litigant in person, was cross examined by an all singing all dancing Barrister and of course he persuaded the Judge that I had no case, and that my car traded in under the scrappage incentive was not to be classed as a deposit, despite it literally being written in legislation, amongst other reasons why I found the HP agreement to not be properly executed. I am now appealing this decision as I strongly believe the Judge has misinterpreted the law, What I really need for this to be successful is someone who is knowledgeable in the field of Vehicle Finance to help me understand if I have a possibility of overturning this case, as I have no doubt at all that my car should be classed as a part exchange and a deposit and it is blatantly written in the legislation that the finance companies are bound by. I would massively appreciate if someone can help me decipher this legislation and its application in the sense of my HP agreement, I simply do not understand how I can trade in my car and it not be classed as a part exchange, or a deposit. Similarly, if someone is able to find the exact wording of the terms and conditions of how the Diesel Scrappage Scheme was managed in 2018 that would be an absolute life saver! Thanks so much in advance, this is not a straight forward nor a well documented case but I believe I am onto something and I believe there will be other people in my position who have lost their cars without knowing this clause and could well be entitled to reclaim all sums under the agreement

    • 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 have had a final response from my account in dispute letter.

1st crud have sent me another copy of the cca and are stating that now my request has been fulfilled that this entitles enforcement of the debt.

 

is this true?, as it looks like the cca has been faxed to them and i have read on the forum that an original is needed in the court.

 

can someone help me with a letter please?

regards

Only read the last few posts and it's possible that they have indeed complied with your CCA request. However, if they have said they are taking you to court you should then ask for a unedited copy of the original under CPR rules. That way they can't escape. There is a letter about for just that but I don't have time to find it as I'm off to work.

thanks twofoot,

 

i will have a root about

 

update.

 

i had a letter from lloyds stating that they are looking into my complaint. ( i do not aknowledge any debt letter sent ).

they have given themselves a 28 day timesacale from the 21.5.09 to respond.

 

in the meantime i sar them and am awaiting the statements.

 

i am confused though because bls are still purseing me even though i have pointed out to them that the account is in dispute.

today i have received a letter from sechiari,clark & mitchell solicitors stating that i have 7 days to pay or court preceedings will commence.

 

should i send this letter

I refer to your letter of XXXXX 2008, the content of which is noted. No debt to your client is acknowledged.

 

On (date) I made a formal request to your client pursuant to s.78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. They have failed to comply within the statutory time limit, or at all. It should not be necessary to have to remind solicitors that the provisions of s.78(6) now apply.

 

In the circumstances, your/your clients threat of legal action would appear to be a breach of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and the Office of Fair Trading Guidance on Debt Collection. Should you or your client bring proceedings, they will be robustly defended, and the Court's attention drawn to the above statutory breaches . Furthermore, I reserve the right to bring the conduct of your client to the Court when the issue of costs is being considered.

 

Yours faithfully

 

i have had a good look around but cannot seem to find anything.

some help needed here please

thanks, i will mail and update accordingly

 

sorry for being thick lickthewallfatboy, but whats the point in sending another letter asking for the same info when 1st crud have already provided it to me. ( a signed copy of a cca with all the prescibed items )

 

 

have look over the cca again i cant see the total charged for credit.

 

if it was me i would look again at is my agreedment enforsable by 42man

 

lilly white,

this cca was for a loan for £5000 which is on the cca. i have had a look at the "is my agreement enforceable" and it looks like all the prescribred items are there.

 

but what i was thinking is that, if lloyds have faxed it over to 1st crud how can they have the original thus not being able to provide it in court.

 

what i am worried about now is how to respond to their latest letter which basically states that they met my request and they have invited me to respond within 14 days and the truth is, i havent got the foggiest.:confused:

I PRESUME THAT THEY HAVE CONFIRM IN THEIR OPINION THEY HAVE SEND THE CCA

I AM ALSO GUESSING THAT THEIR IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE UNEDITED CCA.

 

 

SO SEND THIS

 

 

Address

 

Date

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I refer to your letter dated (date) in which you confirm that you are unable to comply with my formal request pursuant to s.78(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. However, despite being in default of my request, you have continued to make unlawful demands for payment contrary to s.78(6) of the CCA 1974 and the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR).

 

I note that the Credit Services Association, in the first paragraph of its Code, state that members must act lawfully at all times. Furthermore, under the CPUTR 2008 failing to comply with a code of conduct to which you have subscribed is unfair trading.

 

In the circumstances, I will not enter into further correspondence with you, and any further unlawful demands or contact will be viewed as harassment and reported to the appropriate enforcement agency.

 

Finally, as you have failed to comply with my request, I require you to return the £1.00 fee without delay.

 

Yours faithfully.

yes that is correct.

 

thanks for your efforts lilly white, i am still confused though because the letter you have kindly posted does'nt really suit because,

 

1/ they have not comfirmed that they unable to provide a cca, infact they have provided 3.

 

2/ they have not as yet made any formal demands for the monies since i cca them.

 

they have given me 14 days to respond to the letter stating that my request has been fulfilled as they have provided the cca and this entitles enforcement of the debt.

 

could an expert have a look at my cca again ( post 80 ) , i need to know wether the game is up for me as i don't think it will be appropiate to just ignore their last letter

ok two things that its missing

 

1. Total Charge for Credit- this is a breach of Regulation 2 and Schedule 1 para 9 Consumer Credit Agreement Regulations 1983

 

2 Total amount payable- this is a breach of Reg 2 para 11 Consumer Credit Agremeent regs 1983

 

the agreement is therefore improperly executed and therefore an order of the court is needed to enforce the agreement or any of its terms.See s61(1) CCA and s65(1)

 

this is sufficient breach for the court to exercise its powers to lower the amount owed as a minimum, the court may say, no to an enforcement order

 

There is case law on this point to

Simple

 

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

In respect of the credit agreement you have disclosed on the XXXXXXX 2009

 

After seeking legal advice from a Consumer Credit Law specialist i can comment as follows.

 

The agreement you disclosed is improperly executed, it is not compliant primarily with s61(1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 and the consequences are that as it stands the agreement is unenforceable and requires an order of the court pursuant to section 65(1) CCA 1974 to be remedy this problem. you are invited to make such an application for the said order.

 

Upon such an application i will rely upon the following points

 

The agreement is a fixed sum credit agreement, the rate of interest under the agreement is fixed for the term of the loan, there are no items entering into the charge for credit which are likely to be subject to change or variation therefore the agreement requires a term stating the Total Charge for credit with or without a list of its constituent parts, the agreement does not contain this term and therefore breaches Regulation 2 and Schedule 1 Para 9 Consumer Credit Agreement Regulations 1983.

 

The agreement must as a consequence of para 9, also include a term stating the total amount payable, again this agreement does not contain such information and therefore the agreement also breaches Reg 2 and Schedule 1 para 11 Consumer Credit Agreement Regulations 1983 and therefore the agreement does not comply with the regulations made by the secretary of state under the powers given by s60(1) of the 1974 Act and accordingly the agreement doesn ot comply with the strict requirements of s61(1)(a) Consumer Credit Act nor did it comply with s61(1) © Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

These breachs are clearly prejudicial to me as on entering into the agreement i was not givne the informatiuon that the Consumer Credit Act required to be made clear, i was not aware of the true cost of borrowing.

 

I would further highlight that Lloyds TSB subscribes to the Banking Code, as a requiremento f the code, they are required to lend responsibly and they clearly have failed in their duty under the code

 

my contention is that the court should not make an enforcement order, my authority for this contention would primarily be the case of Wlaker v SPPL in the Chester High Court before HHJ Derek Halbert. however if the court were minded to make an order for enforcement my argument would fall directly upon Rank Xerox Finance Limited vs Hepple CCLR 1994 1 and in this case the court taking into account a single breach of schedule 1 Agrement Regs reduced the amount of debt from £5000 to £500 to compensate the debtor for the prejudice caused

 

in view of this and in view of the fact you require an order from the court to enforce this agreement as clearly set out within the act, and the House of Lords in Wilson and First County Trust 2003 UKHL 40, i would invite your proposals to settle my dispute. i would also advise that i am informed that , i am able to apply to the court to consider this matter pursuant to section 142(1) CCA 1974 if no suitable agreement can be met.

 

however i trust this will not be necessary

 

I look forward to your settlement proposals

absolutely brilliant pt, just what the doctor ordered.

i will get this letter mailed to them closer to the 14 days they have given me to respond. ( trying to slow things down a bit ).

 

thanks to every one who has bumped this thread along. i do appreciate

all your comments and efforts even though my responses may seem a

little unappreciative sometimes.

 

oh and lilly white,; pick one with 4 legs:lol::lol::lol:

 

take care

 

til next time

hunterandthehunted

 

ok, i have sent the letter to the in house soliciters ( post 16 ).

 

i have also received another of the standard responses from lloyds stating

that they are looking into my complaint.

 

i can only assume that this is for the account in dispute letter i sent on may 11th. i sent one to lloyds and one to BLS, which

could explain the two seperate responses.

 

i have received no reply from my SAR request, but i guess its early days yet...

will wait and see what lloyds tsb have to say. if they have sold the debt to 1st crud i really cant see why they would be interested.

 

mind you they supplied 1st crud with the disputed CCA.

 

as regards to the derby winner, you have got 12 months to find it as the last one seems to have got away. maybe the st ledger in setember:rolleyes:
