    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 24/12/2022. 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 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.

    • 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.

Is there a reason you're considering offering a F&F for these debts now when nothing has been paid for so long (assuming they haven't been acknowledged).

BRIGADIER2JCS : the credit report I have is from Equifax.

 

Caro: I want to get my credit rating in shape in the quickest possible way and also to ensure that there is no comeback in the future.

 

Hope it explains all :)

 

It would appear that in roughly 18 months most of your defaults will be gone. Paying a f&f now is unlikely to speed that up IMHO. The overdraft is less clear cut.

 

Were these all taken out before 2007?

I agree, depending on if pressure is being put on from any DCAs, 1st Credit are known for attempting 'late' court action' so keep an eye on that.

 

 

Building a credit profile as said 3-6 years good ++ credit management is the only way, in around 12 months time try apply for a low limit credit builder credit card, use it carefully and pay balance in full every month, do Not make multiple applications and keep monitoring your CRA files.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

OK, thank you for the advice so far. Back on a proper computer and can type a bit easier now.

The report is from Equifax from last week.

What I am basically trying to work out if whether to let the debts fall off my credit report and build up my credit again. What bothers me is, that if I’m right the debt can still be chased after it has dropped off and whether any further action can be taken against me after it has dropped off, i.e. CCJ’s etc.

If further action could be taken, would I not be better off requesting F&F and protecting what rating I have and then building on it?

In answer to some earlier questions.

Lloyds Current Acc./ Capquest: Last Financial Transaction? Is the an authorised overdraft ?

Yes, this was an overdraft.

M&S Credit card/ 1st Credit/not on file (which CRA do you use) Poss already removed after 6 years, any payments made to 1st Credit at anytime or to anyone else?

Just to clarify I haven’t made any payments to 1st Credit or anyone else.

Many thanks again,

M

OK for clarification the date an entry is removed (a defaulted account) is the 6th Anniversary of the default date.

 

 

This does not necessarily mean that the debt is then statute barred = SB. 6 clear years with no relevant contact, payment or unequivocal written admission of liability.

 

 

This means the creditor cannot recover the debt via the courts, however it does still exist and remains collectable.

 

 

But the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) Guidance on Debt Collection 2003/2006 updated Nov. 2012 Appendix B states:

 

 

'that (the OFT) considers that it is unfair vto press for payment (of a SB debt) once the debtor has informed the creditor (or DCA) that the debt is statute barred and they will not make payment, to continue to do so may amount to harassment'.

 

 

I look in again later M with some ideas.

Hi,

 

I have a number of debts which will go SB in a few months. Having checked my Credit Report, these debts are in dispute with previous DCA and not the ones of my Credit Report.

 

Should I send a letter in advance to these DCA's warning them the debts are in dispute with other DCA's?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

M

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Hi,

 

Just want to check something.

 

If i say, have a default date 1/4/2008, am I right in believing that although the debt can still be chased it will drop of my credit report after 2/4/2014 and no longer be counted as a debt?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

M

Debts disappear from CRA files on sixth anniversary but the debts themselves still exist. As you say, they can be chased, unless they have reached statute bar date when you can send letter [see cag library] to stop them contacting you further. Don't do it until you are absolutely certain about the date.

Not necessarily. That's why I said to be absolutely certain. Some people get duped into making further payments under threats of dire consequences after they've already defaulted, or they could acknowledge in correspondence.

Write to them recorded delivery and inform them that the debt statute barred and they are therefore prevented by CONC from taking any further action in relation to it. Tell them that unless they have some evidence to show that it is not statute barred, then if they continue to take action that you will complain to the ombudsman and eventually to the FCA

Personally, IMO, I'd ignore them, and if they ever felt they had a solid case and took court action, then you have the ultimate defence, and have wasted them time and their precious money!

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Hello,

 

Just like some advice on what to do.

 

I'm getting letters, calls and apparent visits from a company called Resolvecall for a debt that has been statute barred since August 2016.

 

It is one of these debts that has been passed from company to company.

 

Many thanks,


M

A DCA is not a BAILIFF

And have ZERO legal powers 

 

Have you moved since taking this credit out and not informed the original creditor nor resolve call's stated client, of your correct address?
