    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.
    • Hi, we are looking to get some opinions on weather or not to bother fighting this PCN. This comes from a very big retail park parking where there are restaurants, hotel, amongst other businesses. The parking is free but I suppose there must be a time limit on it that I am not aware of. We were in the area for around 4 hours. Makes us wonder how they deal with people staying in the hotel as the ANPR is on what appears to be a publicly maintained street (where london buses run) which leads to the different parking areas including the hotel.  1 Date of the infringement 26/05/2024 2 Date on the NTK  31/05/2024 3 Date received 07/06/2024 4 Does the NTK mention schedule 4 of The Protections of Freedoms Act 2012? [Y/N?]  YES 5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Entry and exit photos however, based on the photographs we are almost sure the photos are taken on public street. This is the location I believe photos are taken from.  https://maps.app.goo.gl/eii8zSmFFhVZDRpbA 6 Have you appealed? [Y/N?] post up your appeal] No Have you had a response? [Y/N?] post it up N/A 7 Who is the parking company? UKPA. UK Parking Administration LTD 8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] The Colonnades, Croydon, CR0 4RQ For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. British Parking Association (BPA) Thanks in advance for any assistance.  UKPA PCN The Collonades-redacted.pdf

    • 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.

Hello all.

 

In the last month I've had about 5 calls from Aegis and Global Vantage asking me to make payments, I refused to speak to any of them.

 

I just got an email from MBNA saying:

 

"Despite the reminders on your statement and our attempts to resolve this matter, we have not received a payment. You should be aware that prompt payment avoids late charges and negative information being registered against you with the Credit Card Reference Agencies. A good credit record is vital if you plan further borrowings in the future such as a mortgage or a personal loan.

 

Please call us on 08000 280689 to discuss this matter. Our specialists are available Monday to Thursday 8am to 9pm, Friday 8am to 7pm and Saturday 9am to 3pm."

 

Should I ignore it ? As far a I am concerned the account is officially In Dispute, MBNA have not written to me about it, my In Dispute letter stated that I would only respond to written correspondence. I'm just looking for some guidance as to what I should do next. Also, at what point can I threaten them with harassment because of the phonecalls from the collection companies ??

 

Thanks.

DiddyDicky - or anyone else in the know, if I have put the account In Dispute and I have a signed receipt for the delivery of that notice to MBNA, why should I respond to any email from MBNA whatsoever ??

 

The notice says that since the account is In Dispute I will only respond to written correspondence. If the relevant department have not passed on my in Dispute notice then surely that is an internal affair for MBNA, right ?!

 

I'm just curious to know why I should actually even respond to an email from them in any case. I've informed the collection agencies of the situation so if they are not communicating this back to MBNA as well then, I think I have done all I should do, or do I have it wrong ??

 

I'm not being shirty here, I just want to know how strong my current position is with regard to my rights having put the account In Dispute.

 

Thanks all.

if you have made it clear you wil only respond in writing thats fine

 

personally i dont give them my e mail addy because during court proceedings they tend to serve notices by e mail at the eleventh hour

 

i always delete e mails unread (as they can record if you have read them)

 

hope that helps

At the end of the In Dispute letter I sent it says:

 

" I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

Yours faithfully"

So it does say in writing but I must admit the letter doesn't hammer home the point that I will only respond to them in writing only.

 

Is it worth me writing to them and repeating that I will only respond to them in writing ? Sorry for asking seemingly trivial questions, I just don't want to make any mistakes.

 

Thanks.

I just received a letter signed by Martin Supple (Head of Customer Assistance), a reminder to make a payment and a suggestion that I set up a direct debit.

 

I also received a notice of Sums In Arrears.

 

I received an email stating dispite numerous requests for me to contact MBNA I have not done so.

 

I am about to send them a short letter reiterating that the account was put In Dispute by myself and reminding them to send me my CCA. It will be a re jig of my in dispute letter. I will put in caps that I will only respond to written correspondence, no phone calls or emails.

I'll second that.

 

I take it as yet no cca has arrived? Not even a bad one? Can you remember when you took the card out and was it affiliated with any company ie Virgin/Homebase etc.

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:

Hi peeps.

 

No, I haven't received my CCA back yet in any way shape or form.

 

I got a call from my someone in my family to say that MBNA called me last week.

 

The card was not affiliated, the card is still in my wallet, it has no other logos or names on it apart from MBNA Europe.

Good morning all.

 

I got a letter in the post from MBNA containing:

 

a) copy of executed agreement

b) up to date T&Cs

c) a copy of most recent statement.

 

The executed agreement is this (with personal stuff removed), a single sheet of A4 with a scanned document on either side:

 

3883928010

 

On the other side of the page:

 

3883939764

 

I have no idea what to make of this so, your thoughts please, thanks.

 

EDIT - the images are not showing up, I placed them on Flickr and made them public. Is there a better way for me to do this ??

 

I got a call from MBNA this morning "advising me" that soon I would be 3 payments in arrears and they would be notifying the credit reference agencies.

hi,

While I can't be absolutely sure, can you say what the dates are on the bottom right of image CCA2. Does it say 12/03 or 12/05.

 

I do believe that the terms they have sent you don't match the CCA in image "CCA" as you signed that in 2001. I think they are trying it on.

 

Hold fire for more comments.

Hi,

 

I have an MBNA credit card and i sent the usual letter back in April with a postal order for £1. I did not put my signature to anything. They did not respond and i have been bombarded with phone calls and telling me i am in arrears. Now its September they have rung me and said that the postal order is not the right thing to do and i must send a cheque as it is government policy. They said i am £1000 in arrears because they have not encashed the postal order. I said it was therefore their fault because i had sent them the right money. They have insisted on a cheque and wonder if this is so they can get my signature. I offered to get a friend to send a cheque and they were not happy with that either. Sounds very fishy to me. Has anyone else been faced with this problem and is it wrong to send a postal order?

 

Any advice would be very grateful as they will be ringing back.

Just to add. I sent mine in february,they didnt respond then when I put the account in dispute they claimed they hadnt received the postal order. I just replied that it was attached to the letter and provided them with the tracking number. It all went very quiet for a long time, with the exception of the sending me demands for the usual payment. They send a dodgy CCA eventually, but I still haven't paid.

 

Dont believe them, a postal order is the equivalent of cash, hence one of the reasons we send them, as they cant claim extra time to cash them in as they would a cheque. It is classed as legal tender, and there is no government legislation or otherwise to say it must be by cheque. They are in default. Full stop. Do not discuss anything with them over the phone. They will try to trick you into doing or saying something. You must get everything in writing so they are accountable. Refuse to speak to them next time they ring. Do not answer the security questions.

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:

Some people cannot let a phone go unanswered. You should not even answer the phone to them, it's your phone and you decide who you speak to! Log the time they call. Use the website whocallsme to check the number if you're not sure it's them, but please don't answer the phone!!

Happenin all,

 

Just looking through your thread, pretty new to this so bare with me. I am also about to take on Virgin (MBNA) through unenforceability, try too anyway. Virgin sent me my credit agreement about 10 days after i sent a CCA. No signsature, no assigned interest as it states it varies, but im not 100% on what grounds to unenforce the debt. Have you lot used a template letter at this point?

Capricorn how do i navigate to your thread? Would be good to get on board with people at similar stages.

Cheers everyone, nice work

Hi Slobbo - Capricorn's thread is here:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/185758-mbna.html

 

I would suggest you both (Latipac Girl and Slobbo) start your own thread as I did, that way each thread doesn't get hijacked and end up going off on different tangents, the posters on here reply to your questions quickly and I've had lots of great advice so far, made me feel very comfortable during this process.

 

Silverfox, if it is a date it is 12/00.

 

I have no idea if what they sent me constitutes an enforceable agreement. The 2 scanned thin slips of info don't seem to contain the layout or information that I have seen in other examples and the T&Cs shown are and I quote "... some of the provisions contained in Conditions 1 and 2 of the MBNA Credit Card Terms & Conditions. The other conditions referred to in these paragraphs and the applicable definitions can be found in those Terms & Conditions".

 

I'll check other enforceable and unenforceable examples, but from memory what they sent me seems to be missing key information, can anyone else confirm this ???

Here is a link to enforceable and unenforceable agreements:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/162851-consumer-credit-agreements-guide.html

 

I've just gone through it and found the following:

 

1) Creditor's signature is missing from either page

2) Terms and Conditions are on another page (may be the reverse of the application form - not sure if that makes a difference though)

3) There is no credit limit - there is a reference to it in the T&Cs but all it says is "We will from time to time choose the credit limit and notify you of this". It doesn't say they will choose it and let me know, it says from time to time it will change.

4) Condition 4 part b points to an exception for the payments in conditions 2.4, 3.5 and 3.6 - but none of these conditions are present so the form is not easily legible.

 

User pt2537 stated on one of his/her posts regarding an example that has the exact same clauses missing "oh also, since its in relation to a prescribed term, they could be in trouble here too" - What does that mean ??

 

As far as I see, from the examples given on this site, there are a few reasons why this agreement is not properly executed. Not sure if it makes it unenforceable though because on one of the examples given that was not properly executed because the terms and signature of the debtor were on opposite sides of the form (amongst other things apparently), the poster states "this agreement is only enforceabld by court order under s65 of the CCA 1974. It complies with the requirements of s127(3)"

 

Can anyone tell me what that means please ?? I'll see if I can find what they mean myself when I get a chance ... off to work now.

 

Thanks all.

Mu understanding is that a credit agreement can comply with s127(3) - a CCA request - without having the debtors signature on it. Howver, to obtain a judegment in court the creditor would need to provide a signed agreement. Basically a CA request can be satisfied with an unenforceable agreement.

 

This is why people are encouraging the use of the cpr rules and/or subject access request to flush out the actual signed agreement to see if its enforceable.

 

Im pretty new to this so so hopefully someone will correct if im wrong :)

I have no legal qualifications whatsoever, so please check any input I have for accuracy. And please correct me if you disagree!

Hello all. I tried reading up on s65 and s127(3) and I got nowhere fast lol.

 

Where I think I am at the moment, I received what MBNA deem to be my CCA, whether it is enforceable or not I guess they have now complied with my request - even if the account is now In Dispute. As far as they are concerned, is that the end of the matter ??

 

The reason I ask is, I thought that something in the courts had to take place for the matter to go to the next stage, once the account is In Dispute.

 

So, I have some documents which do not seem to be correct. Do I need to submit a SAR to further determine exactly what details/docs MBNA have on me, the last thing I would want is for them to magic an enforceable agreement at the last minute ?

 

AS far as they are concerned I bet they think they have complied and will continue to charge me. As far as I am concerned what they sent me is not properly executed and so potentially unenforecable.

 

What do I do now ? Thanks.
