    • 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, my friend has two defaults dating back to 11/2003, however on his credit report it says...file updated for the period to 6/2004, what does this mean exactly? I'm fairly certain he hasn't acknowledged or paid anything towards these debts.

 

Also, I found a default letter which states I owe £98, but on my credit report it says £300, this is re Littlewoods, default placed by Phoenix recoveries. I have letters from Littlewoods stating I owe £380, this may be due to charges etc. confusing!

 

If anyone can help I would appreciate it, especially for my friend who is getting married next year and trying to sort his finances out!

HI, Look at the bits in red

 

Hi, my friend has two defaults dating back to 11/2003, however on his credit report it says...file updated for the period to 6/2004, what does this mean exactly? I'm fairly certain he hasn't acknowledged or paid anything towards these debts.

 

The reporting period is when the original creditor last updated the file. They've obviously not bothered since June 04. My advice, don't rock the boat. This debt may already be Statute Barred (depending on payments made)

 

Also, I found a default letter which states I owe £98, but on my credit report it says £300, this is re Littlewoods, default placed by Phoenix recoveries. I have letters from Littlewoods stating I owe £380, this may be due to charges etc. confusing!

 

This has probably been sold by Littlewoods as Phoenix have replaced Littlewoods as the OC. Some dates would be useful

 

If anyone can help I would appreciate it, especially for my friend who is getting married next year and trying to sort his finances out!

 

 

Hope that helps

If he was defaulted around 11/03 and he has made no payments nor acknowledged the debt (in writing) the debt will be SB by 11/09

 

The cause of action (not the default date) is when the SB clock starts ticking.

For example, your friend stopped paying in August 03, the OC starts making late payment markers on his credit file in september and october then defaults him in November, the cause of action (I believe) would be September 03.

Well it should drop off his file anytime soon. If anyone tries to collect then a stern bog off letter with the terms "Statute Barred" should suffice.

its for them to prove it not statute barred not for you to prove it is.

 

you've [he's] just got a phishing letter list.

ignore all the letters etc.

even if you reply, it will make no diff

the list will just be sold on.

they dont tell each other they are SB debts. else they won't buy the debt!

Thankyou fox and dx,

My friend just gets fed up with all the letters that arrive! he's tempted to call them but I said NO. These people hope that you haven't heard of Consumeractiongroup and therefore don't know your rights. I think he just needs to sit tight for a bit longer.

Thanks to the helpful advice I have recieved on here, I stopped making payments that I couldn't really afford and told a debt collector that arrived at my door without an appointment to come back next week, then I told him I would pay it back at £5 a month and not a penny more! :)

I used to be too scared to open the letters before I found this site.

 

Thanks again, hope it's a sunny day wherever you are as it is here in Dorset!
