    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • 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.

Yes, please do...I had that letter back in February Melbel. The next for me is dated 10 days later from Rob Franklin, who identifies himself as my personal case handler.

 

Since all this, I did write and ask for information and received a letter saying that collection activity on my account was on hold. Am still receiving weekly-ish letters though which means that someone forgot to take my name off the automated bullshine sender!! :p

If you feel I've helped then by all means click my star to the left...a simple "thank you" costs nothing! ;)

Hi. Your letters went through the same cycle as mine, I think the last one I had was more reasonable though, they were playing 'good cop, bad cop' I think, anyway Ignored them all and havn't heard anything for a few months now.

Had more contact from Apex.

 

They have again sent me my CCA with the prescribed terms highlighted. They seem to forget there are no T&Cs signed for apart from a print off from their system and i'm still querying the approved limit thing amongst other things.

 

I am ignoring

Hi Melbel,

 

Subbing to your thread.

 

OH is in the situation with Apex, account in dispute etc., Apex provided a copy of the CCA with Current T&C's. (Just for starters CCA states 'Approved Limit' were as current T&C's state 'Credit Limit' mmmm ?)

 

Have totally ignored their letters, today got their scary Debtors Notice :eek:

Here's an update on a golden oldie..

 

I have been ignoring this one for yonks and heard nothing however I have just checked my credit file and fould the following;

 

Egg defaulted me on 31/10/07 for £2100

Im pretty sure the notice of assignment was the same date from Egg to Apex

it was settled on the same date and shows as settled on my credit history.

 

Apex credit defaulted me for £1894 date 1/10/07

and credit searched me on 10/3/11

 

Is it me or do these dates not add up?

 

Also, I have been ignoring this for over a year, Is it worth me arguing the default OR shall I keep quiet and just leave it?

 

thanks

Just thought you'd like to know I've had 3 phone calls from this bunch of cowboys this afternoon. They got the same response every time...Foxtrot Oscar!!! It wouldn't be so bad but my husband died three weeks ago tomorrow and the funeral is tomorrow. I have warned them that I will take them to the OFT (and anyone else) if they persist. I did not say who I was. Whatever they're chasing me for must be nearing the time-barred point as they seem to be getting rather desperate. If my own personal life wasn't so horrible at the moment, I would have fun with them.

Hello All

 

I have one of those old Egg agreements which was sold on to Apex a couple of years ago. Nothing has really happened, I stopped my payments and and Apex tried to chase me etc etc.

 

I have noticed on my credit file that Egg settled the debt and Apex defaulted me on it in October 07.

 

 

 

Now;

  • I have had no default notice.. (off either Egg or Apex)
  • The account was in dispute with Apex (due to the faulty Egg agreement )
  • I thought a Default can only be registered around 6 months after breakdown with the client (OFT guidelines)

Is it worth me writing to these people saying I do not acknowledge the debt as their is no enforcable agreement and mention they have defaulted me wrong etc

 

Is it worth it and do I have a case?

 

thanks

 

Mel :-D

Hi

I am a little confused. Are you saying Egg defaulted you before October 2007?

 

Generally what happens is that a creditor (Egg in this case) registers the default and when the debt is sold the new owner(Apex) replaces the original creditors name although the date should remain the same.

The guidelines do state that a default should be placed as soon as possible and certainly within 6 months although if it is a couple on months later, I don't think they would do anything.

 

Even though they haven't supplied you with an agreement, they are still allowed to mark your credit file as they can prove you had the money

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Ah right, sorry silverfox.. i was a bit garbled.

 

Yes, you've answered my question. Basically, Apex replaced the Default that was added by Egg.. same date etc etc...

 

The account is in dispute due to them dodgy Egg agreements a few years back and i informed Apex of that when they took the debt on. They still argue that the debt is valid and when Egg Settled the account and sold the debt on to Apex, the default was then registered to Apex.

The default was registered its just been taken over by the new owner, also the data controller of the debt, the date however must stay the same and will disappear after 6 years.

 

If you didnt receive a DN then technically they'll struggle enforcing in court as they have not given you chance to rectify the breach of contract. A default on your credit file doesnt require a default notice being sent to you although the ICO guidelines state you should be warned and its the ideal time so most lenders do use the default notice. Also the default notice should have come from Egg as the original creditor.
