    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  1.       The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim. 7.As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5 (4) it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation                  that the money is owed. 8.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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 its from SCM SOlicitors acting on behalf of LLOyds...

 

 

We are instructed by LLoyds TSB Bank plc, who advise us that despite several reminders including the issue of a Default Notice served persuant to Section 87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, your acount still remains out of order. This letter therefore makes formal demand on you to repay the account balance as quoted above. You should be aware that interest continues to accrue on a daily basis.

 

If payment is not received by our client wihin 14 days from receipt of this letter, Court proceedins may be instigated against you without further reference. Once these have been issued, you may be liable for Court Fees and SOlicitors costs incurred by our Client. In order to avoid this action you should send your cheque made payable to LLoyds TSB Bank plc to the above address, quoting your account number clearly on the reverse of the cheque.

 

 

 

 

Please advise what I should do... no true CCA received, only the 'we will fob you off with this mickey mouse version', CPR31.16 totally ignored and they are currently in receipt of my SAR.

 

What can I do now?

As you have failed to remedy the breach of the terms and Conditions of use, our client has now cancelled your Credit Card.........

You need to write to the solicitors, stating that you have put the account into didpute with the OC ( enclose a copy of this letter ) and that they are in default of s78 in not supplying a true copy.

 

Also that any action taken wil be robustly defended.

 

Try amending this with your particulars.

 

 

Ref Account xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Dear sirs,

 

I am in receipt of your letter dated xxxxxxxxx and I am somewhat surprised by its contents. No debt to your client is acknowledged.

 

The account has been in lawful dispute with your client since xxxxx following a request for a true copy of any agreement held by xxxx under section 78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Your client has repeatedly failed to discharge their duties under s78 of the act, despite xxx separate letters from myself, including a CPR31.16 request.

 

To date, your client has only supplied terms and conditions,

 

It is my opinion, that there may be issues surrounding the handling and administration of the account, which may greatly distort the account balance, hence the need for a “True Copy” of any agreement held. This is a justified and lawful concern and dispute.

 

You will be aware that in these circumstances, your client is not able to enforce the alleged debt while this dispute is in progress. Despite this, your client has to date ignored the law and OFT guidelines. This matter will be the subject of additional actions by myself.

 

In the circumstances, your and 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 and your attention is drawn to this guidance document.

 

Your attention is also drawn the ICO on Data protection, as passing details on to a third party while an account is in dispute is contrary to the Data Protection Act. I have previously issued letters to your client under s10 of this act. You may wish to advise your client of the implications and costs of ignoring the Data Protection Act.

 

With regard to the legal threats within your letter, I would remind you that your client will need to obtain a CCJ in order to request such actions from a court. The court would take a dim view of any action by your client, while failing to take all steps to resolve such a dispute, prior to court action. I would also remind you that without any original agreement, a court would be prevented from enforcing any alleged debt under s127 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

Should you or your client bring proceedings, they will be robustly defended, and the Court's attention drawn to the above statutory breaches and my efforts to resolve this dispute with your client. Furthermore, I reserve the right to bring the conduct of your client to the Court when the issue of costs is being considered.

 

I await your clients full compliance with their duties under s78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, before commenting further.

 

Yours faithfully,

Hi hammy

 

Just taken a look at your thread. I notice you did actually receive something with your signature from LTSB. At what stage did they send you this? I havent received anything which remotely looks like an agreement or even an application form! They have defaulted me and expect me to believe that we have an agreement in place, just because they say so.

There is no such thing as a 0% credit card....... someone out there is paying for it, and for once its not going to be me.:razz:

Unfortunately for them, it was for the wrong account.

just taken a google look at SCM to see what I am upagainst. Feeling much more possitive now, although I know it wont be easy. Still not sure how serious they are or whether its one of the maybe if senarios to scare me into submission.

 

Scanned lots of documents in this afternoon. Dug out the FOS Complaints form, and LTSB final response letter I received the other day. Have already emailed the completed claim form back to FOS with copies of everything including the letter I intend to send back to **** on Monday (Thanks Vint for this one).

Your Reference:

Dear

I sent my request for a S.A.R. on xxxxx; it was received by your company on xxxx.

According to the Information Commissioners Office, you have failed to respond within the statutory time limits for this request;

the data controller is obliged to reply promptly and, in any event, within 40 days, provided that necessary fee has been paid”.

I am therefore entitled to complain to the Information Commissioner. Is there any reason for your delay in replying?

For clarification, the accounts referred to are:

I request that you supply me forthwith a copy of your complaints procedure, to enable me to forward my complaint to the Information Commissioners Office and other regulatory bodies.

Yours sincerely,

Hi all

 

still waiting for the SAR to arrive. Just received a statement in the post and noticed that they have sent my account to MHA. I have read that these are in-house DCA. Any advice from anyone in what to expect from this set of no-hopers and how to stay one step ahead of them would be greatly received.

Hi capricorn

 

re your dn - unless i've misread things, i think the format of your s87 dn should contain a statement as per paragraph 10A of schedule 2 of the 1983 regulations!

 

i've had a couple of letters from mh a following statement - first one was a pay up or [problem] may start legal proceedings. second one was an offer of a reduced monthly payment to avoid legal action.

 

hope this helps!

thanks ford, I may come back to you on how to respond to them when they get in touch.

 

There was not mention of a statement as per schedule 2 10a of 1983 regs only 87(1) CCA 1974. What does this mean?

Hi all

 

I thought all had gone quiet after sending the amused letter to MHA. Just got home tonight to a letter which is just a joke.

 

"The bank has been reviewing your acount which have now been passed to me as your personal advisor".... wow, I have a personal advisor now!!! Am I going to take any notice of what they advise? Hell no! Not sure of whether its wise to publise this advisors name, but suffice to say, I've googled her. Graduate from Zimbawe in Software Engineering aged 24. hell I've got handbags older and wiser.

 

"I am pleased to be able to tell you that I have a number of special offers specific to you (boy do I feel important now!) to help you repay your account.

 

One payment in full and final settlement of your debt at a discounted rate of 85% of your balance

or

full and final settlement over 3 months at a discounted rate of 90% of your balance.

or

Repayment arrangements, pay your minimum payment of 2% of your balance for the next 3 months and we will clear the arears on your account meaning I only have to maintain minimum payments from then on."

 

 

I bet they are queuing up to take them up on this... LOL.

Hi all

 

last night got home to a letter from ICO. Apparently LTSB have indicated that they have been unable to trace ever having received this request. Therefore she has concluded that LTSB has not failed to comply as they didnt receive it. Now just a second whilst I stop laughing.

 

"Now, mi Lord, me just a humble individual, who am I to dispute what they are saying, heaven forbid as banks are so honest, and of course they deserve their fat cat bonus'.

 

Lets look at the evidence, I sent the letter, or did I? LTSB say they have no record, but hold on a second, I sent it recorded, and have a print out of the signature from the receipt. But LTSB say they have no record.

 

and there's more....

 

I have a letter dated 28th September saying they are sorrty I had cause to complain... yes I asked for a SAR.

 

and more....

 

I have another letter dated 2 November saying they have sent the request to the Brighton Card Customer Service Recovery Centre.

 

But of course LTSB have never received my complaint (SAR).

 

And there even more.

 

Last week I received a package, no not quite what I asked for well not entirely. THey sent statements back to 2004.

 

So mi Lord, lets look at the evidence, did I send a SAR to LTSB?, well the post office seems to think so, LTSB acknowledged it, not just once but twice. They seemed fit to send the request to Brighton, and they have sent me a bundle of statements.

 

So I presume the right and honourable LTSB must be telling the truth then?"

 

OK end of rant.
