    • Absolutely for the agreement they are referring to.... puts them on notice that this is going to be a uphill fight.   Andy 
    • Particular's of claim for reference only 1. the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account (16 digits) 2. The defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. 3. The debt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  4. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Suggested defence 1. The Defendant contends the particulars of the claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.3 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. The claimant has not complied with paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre action protocol) failed to serve a letter of claim pre claim pursuant to PAPDC changes of the 1st of October 2017. It is respectfully requested that the court take this into consideration pursuant 7.1 PAPDC. 3. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification. 4. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a default notice pursuant to the consumer credit act 1974. 5. Paragraph 3 is denied. i am unaware of any legal assignment or notice of assignment. A copy of assignment was sent by Overdales solicitors when acknowledgement of receipt of CPR request was received, but this was not the original.   6. Paragraph 4 is denied. Neither the original creditor or the assignee have served notice pursuant to sec86c of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 Notice of Sums in Arrears and therefore prevented from charging interest on debt regulated by the CCA1974. 7. The defendant submitted a request for a copy of the alleged agreement pursuant to s78 CCA 1974. The claimant has acknowledged receipt of request but has failed to comply. The claimant has failed to provide any evidence of balance or Default Notice requested by CPR 31.14 8. It is therefore denied with regards to defendant owing any monies to the claimant. therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to:  a.  Show how the defendant has entered into an agreement with HSBC. b.  Show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a Default notice pursuant to section 87 (1) CCA 1974. c.  Show and quantify how the defendant has reached the amount claimed for. d.  Show how the claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity  to issue a claim. 8.  As per civil procedure rule 16.5 (4) it is expected claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 9.  Until such time the claimant can comply to a section 78 request he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.     .
    • OK, well rereading the court orders from March, in the cold light of day rather than when knackered late at night, it is quite clear that on 25 June there will only be a preliminary hearing about Laura representing her son.  Nothing more. It's lazy DCBL who haven't read things properly and have stupidly sent their Witness Statement early. Laura & I had already been working on a WS, and here it is.  It needs tweaking now after reading the rubbish that DCBL sent and after all of LFI's comments.  But the "meat" is there.

    • Morning, I purchased a car from Big Motoring World on 10th December 2023 for £14899.00. On the 15th December I had a problem with the auto start stop function of the car in which the car would stop in the middle of the road with a stop start error message. I called the big assist and the car was booked in for February. The BMW was with them for a week and it came back with the auto stop start feature all fine and all error codes cleared on the report from big motoring world. within 5 days I had the same issue. Warning light coming on and the car stopping. I called big assist again and the car was again booked in for an other repair in May. Car was taken back in may, they had the car for a week and returned with the report saying no issue with the auto stop start feature and blamed my driving. Within 5 days of having the car back it broke down again. This time undrivable. I had the rac pick my car up and take to Stephen James BMW for a full diagnostic. The diagnostic came back with the car needing a new fuel system as magnetic swarf was found.  I have sent big motoring world a letter stating all the issues and that under the consumer rights act 2015 I have asked for a replacement vehicle. all reports from Stephen James BMW have been sent over to big motoring world. Big motoring world have come back and said they will respond to my complaint within 14 days for the date of my complaint letter. I am not feeling confident on the response from them, what are my next steps?   Thanks in advance. 
    • That is really good is that a mistake last off "driver doesn't have a licence" I assume that should be keeper? The Court requested me to send the Court and applicant proof of my sons disability from their GP this clearly shows he has Severe Mental Impairement, he is also illiterate.  I naively assumed once the applicant received this that they would drop the claim.  It offends me that Bank has asked the Judge to throw the case out at the preliminary hearing and to make us pay up.

    • 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.

Update: I sent a letter requesting they didn't contact me by phone especially when I am at work, but they have just called me. They should have had the letter from me by Thursday last week. I will send another one tonight to complain about this and send it recorded.

I think you normally have to allow them a reasonable time such as 7 days to update their records to be honest Flubber. I imagine Apex are overloaded with correspondence at the moment. It took them about 7 to 10 days to stop calling me so I wouldn't waste your time or money just yet!!

 

EDIT...FORGET THAT!! THE BARSTEWARDS JUST CALLED AGAIN!!!

Lol. While they continue to phone my mobile when I'm at work they just keep on getting rejected... ooops lol.

 

You think they'd have learnt from the one time I spoke to them and I refused to go through the stupid security questions. She couldn't explain why she needed my name when she'd already asked if she was speaking to Mr.......... I chuckled later after she hung up

Does anyone have any suggestions what to do next as Apex have now started hassling again? Do I just sit tight, offer them a low F&F settlement or call them and restart the payment plan I had with Egg?

 

This whole business is confusing the hell out of me :eek:

 

Thanks

 

There is no obvious answer, have you CCA'd them, no doubt it will be a questionable agreement.

 

I've just sat tight and ignored their letters, I'm certainly not going to start another payment agreement, i may offer a very low..like 1% F & F and see what response that gets.

Regarding F&F's, I'm sure I read on another thread that they won't accept less than 80%....but that may have been Egg directly...

Please don't use a whistle or anything like that. It's one thing to be nasty on the phone or just hang up but to risk damaging a person's hearing is sick, call centre workers get all sorts of warnings about noise levels and hearing.

 

Would you punch a doorstep recovery person in the face? Didn't think so.

What is sick is the continual harrassment by these companies, especially when no enforceable CCA exists and also they have been told not to call yet continue to do so.

 

Many have been brought to the brink of suicide by such actions and regrettably some have taken their own lives.

 

I am classed as a vulnerable person, due to my disability, and yet Apex continue to call....now that is sick!!

Well don't take it out on the low down employee on the phone then, your beef is with the company.

 

Well, to be honest, I see this as more of an health and safety issue for the company to deal with, as I am sure that it is fairly forseeable that their employees will be subject to abuse, in many different guises.

 

As part of any risk assessment, it should be standard practice to assess what can be done to minimise risk to employees. Acting promptly to cease calls upon receipt of such notifications should be top of the list, especially as it has no or minimal implementation costs.

 

If I had the unfortunate job of working for such a low life company (and I appreciate that some may have little choice in the matter) I would want to know that my employer was taking all reasonable precautions to ensure a safe system of work.

 

Therefore, I see the low down employees beef being with their company and not the poor unfortunate person they have called to harrass.

Right, 2 letters from Apex today. First one saying I haven't contacted them for 10 days so they are giving me 10 days then maybe passing for pre-litigation assessment. Second is a copy of earlier letter denying they have altered any of the CCA.

 

I have been thinking and I have never had anything from Egg saying they have passed this debt on. What next? A SAR request letter?

Both myself and Andydd received the pre-litigation letter and then, on the same day, after the 10 days was up, just received another letter stating that they might send one of their doorstep people around. As Andy said in the thread link below, what happened to all the court action??

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/231975-apex-credit-have-bought-3.html#post2817409

 

I personally felt that a lot of Caggers jumped in far too early with the CCA requests as you can normally ignore DCA's for a significant period. As you have suggested Flubber, you are well within your rights to ask them to prove that the debt has been assigned to them and I do feel that Apex should be challenged on this point as they obviously produced the assignment notices that were supposedly from Egg.

 

As I've said before, I think it would be foolish of Apex to commence any litigation on the earlier agreements whilst PT's case is pending.

 

PS...Regarding the CCA, it really depends what they and you are referring to. The one with your signature on will probably be genuine. What you are querying, I believe, is what is supposed to be the current terms and conditions, with Citi's address on. This has been formatted to look like an enforceable agreement with all of the prescribed terms.

I personally think that ignoring them is the best policy, my only doubt now is that perhaps I should get in early with a very low F&F offer in case PT loses his case and then no doubt Apex and others will be more confident in starting legal action.

 

I feel they peaked a bit early with all their legal threats, I was wondering where they would go after there 10 days warning and as I and welshmam have found out they've made themselves look rather dumb by retreating and going back to a pathetic 'we may turn up on your doorstep' letter,..oohh..I'm trembling.

Have a read of letter 2 on Melbel's thread Andy...unbelievable response from Apex...worry no more if this is the only argument they are able to put forward regarding enforceability!!

I sent a SAR request the other day. They received it on Tuesday.

 

I've just received a letter from Apex (dated Tuesday) that threatens legal action and bailiffs! (attached).

 

Should I ignore them or write to them (again)? They state in the letter that I have had no contact. Letter after letter to them isn't no contact!

 

Help please :mad:

Blimey they've responded already... expecting this do you think? lol

 

They've sent me everything they have already sent me. No statements etc yet. One or two bits they've missed in the past but nothing exciting.

 

Do I get in touch with them now?

Just ignore them Flubber...I received the same letter at the beginning of February. The next will probably be a red headed Debtors notice followed by a letter saying that they are going to pass the account to solicitors if you don't contact them within 10 days.

 

Just when you think that they're going to "bring it on" so to speak, you'll just get another letter saying that the account is going to be passed to their doorstep collectors.

 

As I've said before, Apex will be awaiting the outcome of PT's court case just the same as us. Thus, I think it highly improbable that they will instigate court action on older agreements just yet.

 

It's just a question of holding your nerve.

 

I also believe that Apex think that we are like lambs to the slaughter as most, if not all of the debtors, had monthly arrangements to pay in force with Egg. They may also have paid a premium for this...eg 12% instead of 10% lol :rolleyes:

 

Andy does have a point insofar as now may well be the time to negotiate a low F&F, assuming that you have the funds, as there is always the possibility that PT's case may not succeed. However, if he does win, then you may well have settled on an uneforceable agreement.

 

In my case, I don't have 2 brass farthings so a F&F is out of the question!!

Piles of statements received today! Everything seems in order from what I recollect.

 

I suppose now Apex will get back to hassling me! :D

 

I am beginning to think that I should write to Apex and offer to keep the small payments I was making to Egg going or even offer a low F&F settlement!

 

Or should I just ignore them? What can they do next? I am out of options to slow the process down lol

I am now getting regular letters from Apex threatening legal action and the big bad bailiffs! Do I just carry on ignoring these with no contact?

 

They do their best to intimidate people although, for now, they have stopped calling me. :-D
