    • why waste money on scammers? all you need in law is to prove something was sent. use a 2nd class stamp and get free proof of posting from any po counter. dx  
    • Tracked is NOT necessary. 1st or 2nd class will suffice. Just make sure you obtain free proof of posting and KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE...
    • I've given it a try, I expect alot of work required so will give my eyes and brain a rest as I'm getting word blind.. and I'll come back later following your initial bashings Thanks 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. 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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants 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. 4. The Claimant claims a Notice of Assignment was served on the 22/02/2022. This is denied. 5. The Claimant claims a Default Notice was served on the defendant. This is denied. 6. 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. 7. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. 8. Point 3 is noted and denied. 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. 9. Point 5 is noted and disputed. 10. 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. 11. Point 11 is noted and disputed. 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. 12. 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 *** (dates are wrong) 13. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 14. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. Conclusion 15. 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. 16. 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 17. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter into settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter into 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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.

Well formal letter off tomorrow to our good friends G E Money ,.. I have let the xmas period pass has did not want to risk getting my case thrown out of court on the grounds I never granted them enough time , wouldrather give the extra time to reply insted of rushing in ,.. well they have not complied to request under CPR 31.16 , 21 days well passed ,.. I have a make shift agreement (no signature ) so if they do respond , I lookforward to what they send ,..

I am going to wait another week for underwriters sheet , and then will start court proceedings for disclosure , then I will send a letter with the above points and requests ,.. then I will contact the OFT to dispute charges ,.. before I start legal proceedings regarding the charges ,.. as I will not be starting legal proceedings regarding charges just yet ,.. I will contact G E Money to remove the charges & interest fees ,..as I was paying arrears at the time their wished to add these ,.. and believe this is profitting ,.. which is definately not allowed and OFT will hopefully point this out to G E Money and their will need to remove them , which will bring my arrears right down ,..

Postggi,.. my friend I must disagre with you on this ,.. I have read both judgements and to me after reading 4 or 5 times believe that the SSPL judgement to be more correct and favour the consumer ,...

 

Southern Pacific Personal Loans Ltd v Walker and another [2009] EWCA Civ 1176 ; [2009] WLR (D) 333

“A credit broker’s administration fee entered into the ‘charge for credit’ and did not form part of the total ‘amount of credit’ for the purposes of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, even though payment of the fee was deferred and interest was charged on the amount of the fee remaining unpaid . Nothing in the 1974 Act or in the relevant Regulations prohibited the inclusion of the charge for credit in the consumer credit agreement as part of the ‘total amount financed’ or rendered a consumer credit agreement so drafted totally unenforceable.”

WLR Daily, 16th November 2009

 

And I noticed on the other case that lender contested Human rights , yeah but agreement as taken out before human rights reg in place ,.. so this case would certainly be different to refer to as part your defence if your agreement is after the human rights regulations were put in place ,..

 

maybe I am wrong ,.. but I think lenders legal team would definately catch onto that and definately try and use it as a weak point against us ,..

its been used twice in court that i know of and the pacific loans argument has been thrown out

 

its the amount of credit

not the total amount of credit

 

Really ,.. well I thought the other would of been a better , or stronger case ,.. but if twice in court then obviously it shows no human rights issues eh ,..

 

well I have thought what you have said ,.. was thinking the other day aswell,.. so its the amount of credit and not total amount of credit ,...

 

So my loan £31k AMOUNT OF CREDIT £33500

 

And am I right in guessing that as different ,that shows the brokers fee added as credit (and been subject to interest) , when really a charge for credit , and should have own terms in place ,.. if added this way agreement would not be properly executed so making agreement unenforceable ,..

 

please say yes ,.. you have me thinking ,.. :)

Brilliant ,... You make me :) ,.. well it looks like that is the case with mine ,.. plus lots of other stuff that would make this an unfair conditional agreement ,.. again thanks for making me smile , I will re-read that judgement again ,.. and you certainly had me thinking

Hi again Postggi ,.. I have just read the judgement and case and noticed one thing that concerns me which is ;

 

The Judges agreed that the loan was totally unenforceable under the Consumer Credit Act 1974

so that brings me back to first thoughts ,.. would an unregulated agreement be helped by this judgement as a precedent set? or would arguement but put that my agreement is unregulated / and he agreement in that case was covered by CCA 1974,.. My brokers fee should of been a separate agreement with termsin place ,.. plus my restricted-credit part the loan,.. so should of been a part regulate / part unregulated,.. the brkers fee would also be covered by the CCA 1974 AS UNDER £25K,.. and that would be the amount collecting interest ,.. so could I refer to that case in my circumstances ???????????

Wasn't the part regulated and part unregulated angle killed off in a case recently ?

 

 

I was just scrolling around on google and trying to find out any info about secret commissions and came along this site, I found paragraph 8 1) quite interseting but don't know if that is of any relevance to what is being discussed on this thread or may be of any future help. Either way it makes some interesting reading.

Court of Appeal decision is 'encouraging' for lenders

 

"Since each part of the agreement was for a sum less than £25,000, Mrs Heath argued both parts should have been treated as a regulated agreement. Since the correct procedures had not been followed for a regulated agreement, the loan agreement - and as such the charge securing the loan - were unenforceable."

 

 

 

"The Court of Appeal rejected Mrs Heath's line of defence and held that the loan agreement was not to be treated as two separate agreements."

Maybe so , but can see the point the barrister for lenders put across , that if mrs Heath paid the previous debt before she collected her loan from solicitors she could of had the full amount of the loan as unrestricted credit ,... well my case is very different and I was sent a cheque to cover previous debt and unrestricted credit into my bank account of another figure ,.. (minus this cheque) so proof that he agreement should of been a multiple agreement , which would be part regulated / part none regulated ,.. plus my brokers fees added to amount of credit ,.. this is a charge for credit and should have its own terms in place ,.. so regardless of restricted and unrestricted credit , the agreement should be multiple , simple as the brokers agreement would render this as such ,.. then i believe secret commissions ,. that surely needs own terms and my signature in place ,.. and thats just the tip of the iceberg with my agreement , many more serious flaws ,.. and I will travel every avenue in proving my case and point out these breaches ,.. sorry to ramble on ,..

Fretfull it really depends on the way your advance was forwarded to you ,.. if you can prove that the amount you had available (unrestricted was different to the loan amount ,.. then bingo this is proof ,.. as it proves you only had xxx amount to spend as you pleased ,..) so the oher was restricted credit otherwise would be in your account when you recieved advance ,.. the reason your advance is lower then original loan is because this was restricted credit ,.. so if only wrtten out as 1 agreement then surely with the proof of advance the agreement would not be executed properly , so unenforceable ,.. but thats just my thoughts ,.. but these thoughts are taken from law ,..

Thanks for that michellej, you seem to know quite a bit here maybe you can work it out for me and tell me your conclusion and thoughts.

 

Loan applied for was £35k. Brokers fees and charges added to this were £2,767.00. From the £35K, £26,865.86 were paid to previous loan company. I was left with £8,134.14 and was sent a cheque for this amount.

 

Does this seem OK to you?

 

Hi Frettful ,.. I wil give you my opinion , but remember it is only my opinion , but I do not just pluck reasons out my head , I read a lot and try and piece things together from judgements and case laws ,.. I would say straight away that your agreement should of definately been a multiple agreement ,.. as definately restricted and unrestricted credit ,.. and if you only recieved £8,134.14 (then this is the unrestricted credit , ) no restrictions on this advance , as could spend as you pleased ,.. and also covered by the CCA ,.. so the other amount is restricted credit ,.. as you had no access to this amount ,.. and the £26,865.86 was it 1 loan or a few? ,.. this is quite important as if a few then each part would be covered by CCA ,.. so all regulated ,.. together it looks unregulated as over the £25k ,... but if made up of a few different loans , then each part is regulated ,.. and should be a regulated multiple agreement ,..your brokers fee should never be subject to interest charges ,.. and if added to loan it certainly will be subject to interest ,.. (this should have own terms in place , and be stated as regulated & covered by CCA ,..) if not then not properly executed ,.. no terms = not propely executed = unenforceable ,.. so when it is added to amount of credit ,.. this would render all previous payments incorrect ,.. and all future payments would be incorrect ,.. as interest added would certainly be incorrect as the brokers fee should not be added to amount of credit ,.. and it should be expressed that if part of an agreement is incorrect , then this should render this agreement void , as not executed properly ,.. if part the agreement is classed as not properly executed as Balance (with brokers fee is incorrect ) then all other parts must be correct and shows this , as the balance or amount of credit from day one was incorrect ,.. so everything else falls fowl of a propely executed agreement ,... think of it this way ,.. if foundations on a building is not properly constructed , then the rest of the build will witness problems ,.. same as part your agreement ,.. everything must be correct from the beginning to see the building pass the test of time ,.. same as agreement , if properly executed then agreements would pass the test of time and always be enforceable ,... but cut corners and that building will some day fall ,.. lenders have cut corners (big time ) and not only will it forgo the test of time , it will crumble eventually ,... well hope this helps Fretfull , best wishes and good luck in your journey
