    • 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.

Hi i am currently having problems with wf and read somewhere that the loan on my car is unenforceable if they charged interest on the exceptance fee or something like that, details of the agreement are as follows:

cash price of goods = 6500.00 (m)

deposit cash = 1000.00 (p)

acceptance fee = 195.00 (s)

finance charges for goods = 2391.68 (t)

option fee = 100.00 (u)

charge for credit for goods = 2686.68 (s+t+u) = (w)

total charge for credit = 2686.68 (x)

 

rate of interest 14%

 

Have they charged me interest on the acceptance fee and option fee as i think and have they made the agreement unenforceable???

please help all help appreciated thanks

 

could someone also help with the letter to send them requesting all monies paid to be refunded :-(

lets try and decode this welcome piece of crap

 

welcome agreements by design are to confuse

 

amout of credit £5500

interest will be £2649.46 not £2391.68 acording to welcome

the total amount payable will be £8149.46

 

next we need to add on acceptance fee/option fee and interest to give a total of £3239.46 add the amount of credit £5500 gives a grand total of £8739.46

so where does this total amount payable on the agreement of £9186.68 come from

 

well take off a grand for deposit, makes no difference as the total amount payable has been misstated

 

the figures are out by £447.22

 

lets work out the monthly payment

 

£8739.46 by 36 months gives a monthly figure of £242.76 not £224.63

 

 

thats why welcome will allways say your agreement is never finished

 

have you got a document called statement of price

Hi just wrote this letter can anyone check it prior to me sending it out?

 

To Whom it May Concern,

I write to inform you that following a visit to the citizens advice, and a legal representative, I have found that your Hire Purchase agreement is in breach of the consumer credit act 1974. due to the following:

Your agreement states:

cash price of goods = 6500.00 (m)

deposit cash = 1000.00 (p)

acceptance fee = 195.00 (s)

finance charges for goods = 2391.68 (t)

option fee = 100.00 (u)

charge for credit for goods = 2686.68 (s+t+u) = (w)

total charge for credit = 2686.68 (x)

total payable = 9186.68 (f)

rate of interest 14%

However the correct figures are as follows:

amount of credit £5500

interest will be £2649.46 not £2391.68 according to welcome

the total amount payable will be £8149.46

 

next we need to add on acceptance fee/option fee and interest to give a total of £3239.46 add the amount of credit £5500 gives a grand total of £8739.46

so where does this total amount payable on the agreement of £9186.68 come from

 

well take off a grand for deposit, makes no difference as the total amount payable has been misstated

 

the figures are out by £447.22

 

lets work out the monthly payment

 

£8739.46 by 36 months gives a monthly figure of £242.76 not £224.63

 

 

Due to the above I now inform you that your Hire purchase contract is unenforceable, also the default notice attached to the above account is therefore illegal, and that both of the above contradicts the consumer credit act. I now without prejudice request that all the monies paid to you on the above account have become due upon to me and must be returned to me in full, I also request the deposit paid in full and the removal of the data added to my credit file. I also need address details as to where the vehicle in question needs to be returned.

I believe I do not need to inform you that should my request not be adhered to I am legally entitled to return of all monies paid on this account plus associated court costs and legal fees along with 8% interest as standard.

I also give you 7 days to rectify the above, failure to do so will incur a £10 a day storage charge on the vehicle, which I will store for the time equal to the amount of the trade value of the car, which is currently £2700.00, at which time I will sell the vehicle to cover costs and will pursue the remaining debt through the courts.

As the account is now in legal dispute I must inform you that no further money will be paid by us,nor can you legally request any, and no further charges can be added to this account. Due to a harassment of phone calls from your company I feel obliged to inform you that all further contact must now be made via letter, the return address is that which you use for normal correspondence and that has never come in question before so I assume that this request will be forthcoming.

 

 

 

Yours Sincerely

i like your thinking on this but i had better do the letter

you will not be able to reclaim payments as the agreement is only unenforceable

 

but you get to keep the car as its classed as a gift

 

never mention a defective default notice

only pull that rabitt out the hat if a court claim has been issued

Hi post, any how here goes, sent a letter before action to welcome finance, and they replied with the following letter:

 

Dear Sirs,

xxxxxxxxxx

 

FINAL RESPONSE

 

The purpose of this letter is to explain the results of my investigation into your complaint. I am pleased to advise that following my investigation i have concluded that the complaint is justified and i therefore upheld the complaint. What follows is my explination of why i have upheld the complaint and what i propose to do about it.

 

I am sorry that you have had to make this complaint. At welcome financial services we take complaints very seriously and will do our best to resolve any problems as quickly as possible.

 

My understanding of the complaint is:

+ you feel that the agreement is incorrect and therfore unenforceable.

 

If i have misunderstood the complaint, or any aspects of it, please contact me using the details in this letter.

 

I have investigated the complaint by:-

+ reviewing your signed agreement relating to this complaint

 

My findings are

+ the agreement is correct and therefore welcome finance does not acknowledge you claim that it is unenforceable. please find a copy of this agreement enclosed.

 

My conclusion is as follows

 

+ the amount of £6500 for the cash price of the goods is correct (car was actually £6495) the amount of credit is £5500 due to the £1000 cash deposit paid.

+the amount of £9186.58 for the total amount payable is correct. the figure includes both the deposit and the £100 option fee, neither of which were included in the loan. take this £1100 from the figure, and you are left with the £8086.68 which was dispursed for the loan.

+the contractual payments of £224.63, multiplied by the 36 month period is equal to the amount £8086.68.

 

Correct me if im wrong Postgg, but didnt he say in his letter i had my claim was justified but then contradicted what he said by backing the company??
