    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 DD & Shadow,

To clarify:

Initial CCA request & £1 fee dated 12/05/09 delivered 14/05/09

BC responded with T&C's 20/05/09

Sent nominal payment to BC as my initial requested value 01/06/09

Sent 2nd CCA letter "Account in Dispute" "Thank you for your letter of 20/05/09 ...you have failed to respond to my legal request original copy of CCA etc" dated 03/06/09 stating that account entered default on 28/05/09 (12+2days after initial request)

Letter from Mercers dated 04/06/09 A/c + Balance + Amount Due £xxx to reach Barclaycard before 21 june 2009 received by me on 09/06/09

 

Would it be better to get this all in the one thread re Barclays CCa?

Yours

Murph

 

ok the DN is your strongest weapon so far as it is defective at least in the time given to rectify- 4th June was a Thursday so if sent 1st class then service is deemed to have been made on Monday 8th 14 clear days from 9th =22nd not 21st. If it was sent second class - gives you even LESS time (did you keep the envelope)?

Ahem post #3 above...

 

(2) Any notice to be given by a creditor or owner in relation to a regulated agreement to a debtor or hirer under section 87(1) of the Act (which relates to the necessity to serve a default notice on the debtor or hirer in accordance with section 88 before taking certain action by reason of any breach of the agreement by the debtor or hirer) shall contain--

 

Parties to agreement

2

(1) The name and a postal address of the creditor or owner.

(2) The name and a postal address of the debtor or hirer.

 

and where is Barclays postal address on that default notice.

Hi Shadow and DD,

You are starting to leave me behind now.

Firstly, No I didn't keep the envelope (stupidly).

No Barclays full postal address is not on the letter.

Payment due date requested was 21st June.

On the same day I received the refuting statement from Barclaycard dated 8th June

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVCCAREPLY2a.jpg

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVCCAReply2b.jpg

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVCCAReply2c.jpg

Then on the 10/06/09 I received a Barclaycard statement showing all the balances, a minimum payment, due date of 6th July asking for the arrears as Mercers DN plus a further monthly minimum payment amount by 6th July 2009.

They also said" Mercers Debt Collections Agency is now dealing eith your account. If you're unable to meet the above terms please call.... Signed Lynne Dineen (Head of collection)

 

Then on 15th June I received a lwetter dated 11th June saying that they are very sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction. Aim to resolve matters by 1st July 2009.

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVReplytoCmplaint110609.jpg

Then a further letter regarding temporary hold on interest to 6th July

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVAdviceLtr150609a.jpg

http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv46/MurphyW_2009/BCV2/BCVAdviceLtr150609b.jpg

These were then followed by the Mercer and P2C in Post#1

Now starting to wonder what is the next move.

All advice gratefully received.

I have sent letters to Mercer and P2C regarding revoke licence to visit property etc but nothing further disputing the default notce or any other matter.

Look forward to your help

Thanx

Murph

A Defective default notice only comes into play if they terminate the agreement on the back of it...

 

Termination is either by letter or by action, if they say they want the full balance of the account immediately that could be deemed a termination event.

 

Now as for Mercers... its Barclays pet poodles so dont get to despondent about all the phone calls and letters.

 

The letter from Barclays stated making a token payment amount? Is the CCA enforceable? From what I've read on this thread you havent received it? If thats the case then the account is still in default so you need to send the "bemused why this has been passed etc etc etc account in dispute letter" to Mercers

 

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

Account number: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

 

I must admit that I am rather bemused as to why this account has been passed to yourselves, as it is in dispute with the **original creditor/DCA** and has been since DATE 2007.

Not only is this a breach of OFT collection guidelines, but also in breach of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and Data Protection Act 1998

 

My last letter from **original creditor/DCA** was DATE and intimated that my complaint would be

resolved on **DATE**, this obviously hasn’t happened.

As **original creditor/DCA** are now in default of my Consumer Credit Act request, OFT Collection Guidelines, *Subject Access request and have also breached *s10 Data Protection Act request , I consider this account to be in SERIOUS DISPUTE.

 

As you are aware while my Consumer Credit Act request remains in default enforcement action is NOT permitted, under s127 this constitutes a complete defence at law.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the **original creditor/DCA** for resolution of these defaults and breaches, as **New DCA** cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

If **New DCA** chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 section 40 as well as breaching a number of the OFT Collection Guidelines

 

I hope that this will not be necessary and an acceptable solution can be accomplished.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Edit this one and try it :-D

Murphy, yes after posting it up here and getting advice it may well be enforceable, it is very hard to read though as the copy is so small. I can read my signature though. They have messed up on my dn though so all hope is not lost yet ;)

Mine was with morgan stanley - link to mine below. Good luck Rainbow x

Hi Rainbow,

Lets hope you can push them hard on the DN then.

I also have a Mastercard from Barclays and have been sending tandem letters and responses to them. Up to now everything has been the same.

Today I received a DC letter from a company calling themselves ScotCall apparently working for Mercers.

Well I just had to send them a letter telling them that the account was in Default and that they should stop pestering me and refer back to Barclays.

I did get a reply from Power2Contact that I wrote to saying that they had forward my letter to the appropriate company!! (See my thread re Mercers CCA)

These companies all seem to be called by different names when you send letters to them recorded delivery as our post offeice clerks always have to check whether the name is corrrect!!

Yours

Murph

personally i would LIKE them to lift my signature and use it- that way i could "nail them" with it

 

rather than spoil your signature or mark it with lines etc may i suggest that you simply ADD a letter to it (say your middle initial if you do not use it normally ) or TAKE IT AWAY if you do us e it normally

 

or simply add another letter into the signature

 

it won't be noticeable to them BUT if it were to appear on any document coming back to you i venture to suggest that disclosure of this fact to the court would blow them right out of the water

Whereabouts in the CCA did you get the paragraphs about the original creditors address having to be on the Default Notice? Thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

I've not heard from Barclaard or Mercers or P2C since October 2009.

I hope that this doesn't wake them up as it is nice and quiet on that front!

May be the recent ruling by the courts are making them think about the next way forward!!!;)

Hi Geoff,

Yes it's a standard frightener's letter.

I did send to both Mercers and P2C the following letter: -

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Dear Sir/Madam

In a direct response to your recent letter, dated xx/xx/xxxx, received at this address on xx/xx/xxxx

I DO NOT WISH TO RECEIVE ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR ORGANISATION, OR INDEED AN AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE EMPLOYED BY ANY ORGANISATION THAT YOU ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS TO.

There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.)

THEREFORE TAKE NOTE THAT I REVOKE LICENSE UNDER COMMON LAW FOR YOU, OR YOUR REPRESENTATIVES TO VISIT ME AT MY PROPERTY AND IF YOU DO SO, THEN YOU WILL BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES FOR A TORT OF TRESSPASS AND ACTION WILL BE TAKEN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO , POLICE ATTENDANCE.

I also caution you here that should you ignore my request on this point, the actions of your representative(s) will happily be recorded either by CCTV or by telephone recording equipment – whichever is applicable. Accordingly I reserve the right to use any evidence of you or your representatives’ ignoring this request in connection with any actions that I choose to pursue, including media exposure.

Should it be your intention to disregard my wishes, and break your obligations, please be advised that the following rules also apply, as laid down by the OFT in respect of debt collection, and that you, as a holder of a consumer credit license, are obliged to follow:

The areas of the OFT guidance which applies to you in this instance are:

 

Debt collection visits

2.12 Examples of unfair practices are:

a. not making the purpose of any proposed visit clear, for example, merely stating that collectors or field agents will call is not sufficient.

f. visiting or threatening to visit debtors without prior agreement when the debt is deadlocked or disputed.

 

Deceptive and/or unfair methods

2.8 Examples of unfair practices are as follows:

k. not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt.

 

I do believe this makes my position clear and unambiguous. I have previously made it clear that all negotiations should be carried out in writing.

 

 

Make sure you print your signature or do something different in it.

Sent this to P2C and cc'd Mercers in June 2009.

I also sent a separate letter to Mercers: -

 

ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE

 

Dear Sir/Madam

In a direct response to your recent letter, dated xx/xx/2009, received at this address on xx/xx/2009

I must admit that I am rather bemused as to why this account has been passed to yourselves, as it is in dispute with Barclaycard, the original creditor and has been since xx/xx/xxxx.

Not only is this a breach of OFT collection guidelines, but also in breach of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and Data Protection Act 1998

 

My last letter from Barclaycard Mastercard specifically was on xx/xx/xxxx and as Barclaycard ........card are now in default of my Consumer Credit Act request, OFT Collection Guidelines, I consider this account to be in SERIOUS DISPUTE.

 

As you are aware while my Consumer Credit Act request remains in default enforcement action is NOT permitted, under s127 this constitutes a complete defence at law.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Now I would respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the Barclaycard Mastercard for resolution of these defaults and breaches, as neither Mercers DC Ltd nor Power2Connect can lawfully pursue any enforcement activities.

 

If either Mercers DC Ltd or ScotCall chooses to ignore my dispute and attempt enforcement, I will initiate legal action and file reports with the appropriate authorities, including, but not limited to, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, Information Commissioners Office, Financial Ombudsman Service and possible court action.

 

After taking advice, I am of the opinion that any continued pursuit is in violation of the Administration of Justice Act 1970 section 40 as well as breaching a number of the OFT Collection Guidelines

 

I hope that this will not be necessary and an acceptable solution can be accomplished.

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

 

Not long after this I had a letter from another DCA Scotcall.

Do the same to them to.

Yours

Murph

Hi All,

Just to quickly update this thread: -

In the end as we have a number of credit cards we decided to stop paying them all (including my other half's) and put all through a Debt Management Plan. Saved me loads of time and angst as they now handle all correspondence for all our debts leaving me free to concentrate on earning money to pay it all off sometime in the future.

I wish all on here successful claiming, as I'm sure there are ways forward for all depending on individual circumstances.

Best Wishes and thanks for all your comments, help and replies.

I learnt loads and can now also help other people in similar circumstances whenever possible.

Yours

Murphy
