    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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.

    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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 Guys, I’m still here!

 

In June AK acknowledged my prove it letter and advised that they would contact the OC for the documentation and placed the account on hold until it was available.

 

In July another letter received to advise they were still waiting and the account remained on hold.

 

Another one from AK today as follows - Unfortunately we have been advised by the OC that the documentation is not available at this time and we apologise for being unable to fulfil my request, at this time your account has been removed from our collections process.

 

Should their position change, they will be in touch and supply copies!

I have just been doing some tidying up of my files so posting here for my reference and just in case anyone is still subbingicon.

 

The claim was issued by Hillesdens in Dec 10 and became stayed in Feb 11, but Hillesdens did produce a signed copy of a CCA just after it was stayed.

 

All I've had since is annual statements, dated May to Nov 11, May 12 & Nov 12, May 13

 

Last paid approx May 09 so fingers crossed it gets to May 15 without anything else happening!

What is the date or event from which the six years for statute barred is measured? Is it an actual payment (assuming no arrangement agreed) or some form of contact?

 

Thanks. (And good luck!)

Hi nks22

 

My understanding is 6 years since any payment to the debtor or any written acknowledgement of the debt.

Thanks Andy, I'll try not to mix any more up!

 

I used to get really fed up when a lot of threads I subbed to were never updated by the user, hence me trying to sort mine out.

Thanks. I was just getting confused myself, adding 6 to 9 and getting 13 for some reason! I'm in a similar position to you time-wise with my last MBNA payment in July '09 although I'm still getting passed around a succession of collection agencies, currently Lucas (offering a 50% discount).

Sorry, I forgot to add that it's only 5 years if you're in Scotland.

 

I guess no one's been brave enough to issue against you nks22 and they're getting desperate if they'll take 50%!

 

I've not heard of Lucas, I suppose they could have re-invented themselves from a previous useless DCA!

 

All the best, keep your threads updated. :-)

Although this is a very old thread, I thought I would post a little update.

 

I was expecting this to become statute barred in approx May this year however it seems that when a claim is issued, the SB clock pauses and only re-starts if a claim is discontinued or of course if it proceeds to court and a ccj is granted then it goes out of the window anyhow.

 

Which means that this CC will never become SB unless I apply for a strike out.

 

I'm not too concerned about any further action, they would have a difficult job on their hands to resurrect a claim from Dec 2010 but I just thought I would post for anyone who may still have this thread in their notifications.

Hi nks, it is a bit confusing and seems to contradict itself!

 

But the way I read it is that whilst the debt is still recoverable, they cannot issue a court claim due to the limitation period.

 

If you've not had any claim issued I think you should be fine, just be wary of any last minute attempts!

 

I've not heard anything since 2013 and that was just a statement of account.

So, a little update nearly two years on!

 

This debt was purchased by PRA (formerly Aktiv Capital) and a claim was issued in August from Judge & Priestley.

 

I used a solicitor to defend it on my behalf and the claimant has discontinued.

 

I can't elaborate on how it was fought or who I used to get rid of them, due to site rules but if anyone is still subbing or comes across this old thread, just take note that they can be defeated and having a very clued up solicitor is worth it's weight in gold!

 

I've had some brilliant help here over the years on CAG but this was a debt of £9k and they'd added over £2.5k in charges so it wasn't something I was going to risk going it alone with.

Just a little update to complete this thread because I used to find it really frustrating when threads were left without any conclusion.

 

The default was dated 31st Dec 2009 and it has now dropped off my file! :-D
