    • 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.

Once we have these it will be easier to advise you

thanks martin,

ok ,here goes..a month ago my car was parked outside my house(no one was in the car)

when a guy trying to park in front of my car,clearly not using his passanger mirror ,scraped into mine putting a hole in the driver side wing.

The car is quite an old n reg,but was in perfectly good road worthy condition at the time taxed and mot,d.

I was offered a hire car while they took mine away to asess the damage.Although there seems to be so many different companies involved im in constant confusion as to who is working for me,and who is not!

I think the hire car was provided by my own insurance company,via another company?currently there are 5 different companies involved(see confusion lol)

Basicaly the car was assesed by an engineer(the engineer working for the hire car company?)who then decided to write it off with a cat B.A decision in itself i disagree with.i was then made an offer for the car which in my opinion was ludicrous as its so small theres no chance of being able to buy another vehicle.

I have managed to keep hold of the hire car,while i argue my case up untill yesterday when they came and collected it.They said they had already been leniant with the car as i had had it for some weeks..however,there has not been a settlement and im sure i was in my rights to keep hold of it untill i had accepted an offer?

his insurance company are now organising an independant report on my car,after i have compiled some evidence to try and prove my car is worth more than they are saying,although they are taking their time(its the weather apparantly)

I guess i would just like to know more of where i stand in a situation lke this and what my rights are.

Ive never had to make a claim against someone else before and have very little knowledge on the system.As i have resolved to keep contesting the issue untill they make me a reasonable offer,it might be a good idea if i know roughly what im talking about!

ok,well thanks again ,and if anyone can help i would really apprieciate it.

Am i allowed to shout abuse about them?lol

 

ok..my insurance brokers are academy,(who have been ok)..they told me to deal with wise call,who are useless and didnt give me any good advice and infact were so unhelpful,i didnt realise they were ment to be on my side for ages..

CHURCHILL(bleep) are the other guys insurers,then theres nationwide who lent me the hire car..and i think it was their engineer who did the original quote.

I had a personal conversation with the engineer who didnt seem to be able to give me a satisfactory reason as to why he put the thing in a cat b and said it would cost £1100.00 to repair!LOL its an N reg mondeo not a farrari.

I kept asking him on what grounds was he basing his decision ,to which he replied it was the general condition,age,mileage including a tiny crack on the back bumper!

I had actualy got myself a quote for the damage to the wing from my local garage which worked out at £382.00 before i reprted the incident.

Im sick of these fat cat companies trying to get lay people like myself over a barel,and im sure those five companies will all be creaming an amount out of this.

sorry about the disjointed post..

 

oh btw,there is no stuctural damage to the car ie..no damage to chassis etc

OK.

 

Firstly, have you advised Churchill of the £382 estimate? If so they might agree to this estimate - they will send you a cheque and get the car repaired.

 

If not then you have to prove the car is worth more than what they are offering. What you need to do is trawl through Autotrader and other websites / magazines and find Mondeos of a similar engine, age & mileage as yours and send them to Churchill as proof of your higher valuation.

 

Good Luck

Abbey - owed £3260 - Paid up.

 

Barclays owed £2500 - Paid up.

 

Halifax, Mint & Egg - next on the hit list

 

Dont click on the scales - I'm quite proud of my little red dot! - As the little red dot has gone - click away!!!!

thanks guys,yes,i have done this..although its proven difficult because the mileage on my car is very high 200,000 this seems to be what has been causing the main problem..although obviously ,the car was perfectly fine with a new cam belt,sailed through its last mot,and totaly roadworthy etc,they just seem to be only interested in that...yes also have sent them the estimate..but they are now getting another engineer to look at it.

so far they have offered me £250.00 which i think they know is a joke,i have sent them a car i found with a blown head gasket,hole in the wing,no mot being sold for£400.00 scrap!

I am disgusted at the way ive been treated by the first engineer at nationwide,(he was rude)and wise call(she was also rude)you would have thought i had done something wrong myself, when i wasnt even IN the car and it was down to the total carelessness of the driver in his bmw trying to park in a space big enough for a double decker bus.

craig,i dont knw if they will take the car off he cat B to a C or D and let me have it back?none the less ive told them i wont settle for less than £500.00 (always ask for more) so we shall see..

Any ideas about the rules of the hire car?

thanks so much for your help,its been all consuming,inconvienent and stressful.

Any ideas about the rules of the hire car?

 

You are entitled to the hire of a car for a 'reasonable period' and you also have a duty in law to mitigate your losses.

 

The definition of reasonable period is usually until repairs have been completed OR in the case of a total loss until an offer has been made + a few days to allow you to sort out a replacement vehicle.

 

If it can be shown that their offer is too unreasonable based on 'market value' then you would have a valid claim to a hire car whilst they increase their offer, but the onus is on you to show that the offer was not fair and reasonable. What you cannot expect is for them to pay hire charges whilst you hold out for a better offer simply because you 'think' their offer is too low, you need evidence in the form of other vehicles for sale that are very close to the age/condition and mileage of yours to substantiate its value.

 

If they have taken back the hire car they arranged then you must decide if you want to hire a car of your own volition and claim the cost of it back from them, BUT you will only succeed in claiming the cost back if you can show that their original offer was significantly lower than the real value of your car.

I can imagine.My car has 220,000 on clock.

Its ex fleet BMW 520i I bought off ebay for £900

I have service history from new everything was done to T

New this car cost 24 grand-but insurance companies dont hold same thoughs as me when it comes to what its worth.

I could pay 3 times more for a Fiesta or Corsa and have the same valuation at 200k miles.....difference is I KNOW they wouldnt even get close to it without new Engines or major overhauls.

Theres a lot to be said for changing oil at 3k and filter too.

Providing its good tac and not the cheapo stuff

Sorry for digressing......carry on you guys.;)
