    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • 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.

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum although I have looked at it in the past.

 

I have a problem and wonder if anyone can help me out.

 

The first half of this story is on Money Saving Expert site http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1699647&highlight=

And it was suggested that I ask you guys on this forum as you are better suited to this sort of situation.

 

My last correspondence with them is as follows:

 

“I have written to you a number of times stating that this account is not mine. I have had one letter back from a Ms. Sue Worley which told me nothing. I keep getting what appear to be standard letters from yourselves stating that you have escalated the matter further and you can prove items have been delivered to my address etc. You have yet to present this proof to me, or any other documentation despite many requests.

 

I have now had another letter stating that the debt has been passed on to a debt recovery company. I had a phone call from one of your representatives about 2 or 3 weeks ago assuring me that all letters of this nature would stop while the matter was passed onto your investigation department. I have yet to hear from them!”

 

The letter above was dated the 17th July and one below was dated 29th June which goes as follows:

 

“I have now had a very threatening letter (dated 24th June) stating the following:

 

Quote:

“Your conduct in this matter is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Our client has delivered goods to your address and little effort has been made to pay for them. We are currently considering further steps to recover this debt.

 

Take notice that a payment needs to be paid within the next 48 hours to prevent further action.”

Unquote

 

As stated before, I have not made any orders from your company and have had no correspondence since 2002 when I closed the account. Also, no items from your company have ever been delivered to my address, this is pure fabrication.

 

I would at the very least like to see proof of contract between myself and Premier Man with my address and my signature etc. I dispute that this debt is mine and would need to see concrete proof that this debt is in fact mine and that items have been ordered by myself and delivered to my address i.e. I need all details of items delivered, dates of delivery, address that items have been delivered to, proof of contract with my address, payment details and method of payment.

 

Would you also kindly inform other people at Reliable Collections to cease sending me threatening letters and demands for monies and that all contact is to be made in writing with yourself.”

 

I have now had a letter from Fredrickson International Limited who have now taken the debt on stating that I owe them £832.83. I still dispute that the account is mine and Premier Man / Reliable Collections have sent me nothing in way of proof of contract between myself and them or provide any proof of delivery which they state they can prove. In fact they have sent me one letter and that told me nothing. The only other correspondence I have had with them is mentioned in the letter dated 17th July.

 

Can anyone tell me where I stand with this and what maybe the best course of action.

 

Many thanks, Tim

You now need to demand their complaints procedure and report them to the OFT if you are sure the debt is not yours,

 

You have told them often enough, so no more mr nice guy, if they do not send you their complaints procedure then report them to the OFT and let them deal with it, I would also let your local/national newspaper know about this harrassment - look up Mrs Beryl brazier, and quote that in y

Hi all,

 

I have sent letter template 18 to Fred's and a request for a Complaints Procedure from Premier Man / JD Williams. I sent these recorded last Tuesday lunchtime, but still haven't had anything back as of yet. However, Fred's have sent me a letter today stating that if I don't pay within 7 days they will get a court order to enter the premises and size goods to the value of the debt plus costs; somewhere in the region of £1200! Shall I just wait for them to reply to me reference the request for the CCA or do I need to write to them further?

 

Thanks everybody.

 

PS - I may take a while to get back on to the forum as I stupidly dropped my laptop on Sunday and the thing won't power up now! The joys...

Did they really put that in writing? They can't do that without first getting a judgment, and you then failing to pay it. If they did write that, you can take them to the cleaners.

Heard their legal dept have been very busy lately as they've just bought out another catalogue firm ... don't know which one but no doubt we'll find out when the complaints start appearing on here...

 

Might explain why they're so late in replying to people, or then again, maybe they always are.

Hi. Again thanks for all the replies. The letter in question is as follows:

 

LETTRE BEFORE ACTION

 

THIS DEBT MUST BE PAID IN FULL TO THESE OFFICES WITHIN THE NEXT 7 DAYS OTHERWISE WE WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.

 

If a judgement or decree remains unsatisfied a bailiff or sheriff's officer may be instructed to recover assets to discharge the outstanding debt. Judgement debts are registered by the Court. A judgement debt or decree against you would seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.

 

 

 

This is only the second letter they have sent to me. The first being on the 16th or 17th September. Shall I stand by my original letter (Letter 18) or do I need to write to them again?

 

Thanks.

Stand by ur dates. Its 12 WORKING days after they have recieved the cca.

 

working days are monday to friday not including any bank or public holidays.

 

Also with freds they normally break the law with court claims. they split the claim which is illegal under the county courts act 1984. They go for there costs first. They also put on the claim form they reserve the right to claim for further amounts at later times.

 

Then when u file a defence which u will do they tend to discontinue the claim.

Hi all,

 

Well the latest is, they have sent a card through my letter box stating I'm a confirmed resident and that if I am not in contact with them, they will forward the matter to a solicitor who may take legal action without further notice to myself. This Wednesday is their deadline to get a copy of the CCA to me, i.e. their 12 working days plus 2 are up. What would be my situation from that point onwards?

 

Thanks.
