    • Honestly you are all amazing on this site, thank you so much for your help and time. ill keep an eye out and only return when i receive a claim letter for sure also, i updated my address with amex and tsb before i even missed payments. the initial address was my family home but i dont reside there. to avoid a bombardment of letters there i have now updated my address, will they send all threats etc to the new address? Or old address?   do you reccomend i send both tsb and amex my update in address via a letter?
    • 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.

Hi all

What is the law regarding a Bailiff who either climbs over a garden fence or enters via the back gate (doesn't get into the house btw) and gets bitten by "very nice friendly" Dobermann dogs guarding the property.

 

Do the poor dogs have to go up to the intruder and ask "Are you Mr nice Bailiff" before they do what most dogs will do -- protect their turf.

 

These dogs are in a PRIVATE place so by law I don't have to keep them indoors and they are NO danger to the public.

 

If the Bailiff gets bitten I would still be within my rights to refuse him entry into the house as he could then say "he's gained admittance".

 

If he needs treatment he can call on HIS mobile phone.

 

Any Bailiff reading this - DON'T EVEN THINK of coming anywhere near my place.

 

The dogs HATE you.

 

Cheers

I had wondered this myself.

 

We have a large dog, he is incredibly friendly however he wouldn't take too kindly to someone leaping over our fence :p

 

Since we had the Bailiffs letter through the door in December I have put a sign on our front door to show that a large dog lives here and also a "beware dog running free" sign on the gate.

 

Mr Bailiff can now not say he hasnt been warned.

 

My other question would be - what if the dog doesnt bite the Bailiff but the bailiff let's him out of the garden (accidentally or otherwise). My dog is a very much loved pet, if he came to any harm could I hold the Bailiff accountable?

do you have a sign up saying 'beware of the dog' or something similar?

 

Hi there

I'd imagine he'd hear the Growling long before he got over the Fence - but I do have a sign both on the front door / gate and the garden gate.

 

They don't mind the Postman however.

 

Cheers

They sound well trained Jimbo.

 

From a legal position, no sign is required if the dogs are in a secure privately owned garden.

The bailiff has entered at his own risk without invitation, similar if he was to enter your house, finding the door ajar and then fall down the trap door to the cellar. You would not be required to post a sign 'beware, I'm in the cellar and the door is open'

 

His own silly fault, which forms part of the risk of the job. It may of course be worthy to note that however fun it may seem to lock the trap door after him and screwing it shut, may consitute false imprisonment/kidnap.

About 15 months ago there was a report about just this situation.

It was so funny that I still burst into laughter just thinking about it.

 

Must see if I can find that thread ...

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

Hi there

I did think of making a sign saying

"K9 contact inevitably occurs on this property".

 

Is that "PC enough" for some of our more stupid Councils.

 

(OT BTW but I saw in the paper a Local Council was allowing TAXI DRIVER licence applications to be obtained and submitted IN BRAILLE :cool::cool:).

 

Shows what an utterly absurd Nation we have become - what with FEDUDAL BALIFF's etc whilst Bank bosses get MILLIONS for screwing up the whole economy.

 

Cheers

I'm sure that you CAN be prosecuted and held liable if you DO display a sign as it is your acknowledgment that your dog COULD be dangerous.

 

I was given this advice by the police when someone put their hand through our gate to open it and the dog jumped up and 'scratched' their hand.

 

I would remove any such signs.

If anyone's worried about the wording of a sign than simply word it 'Be aware of the dog'. With so many people having allergies it seems a sensible enough statement...

Jimbo, I'm reminded of a doberman/collie cross I had. Great guard dog and companion. She did have a habit of not minding people in the house and being made a fuss of. But the minute they got up to leave she'd go for them. Literally. Had to take her out the room before anyone could leave!

Use the doberman photo sign saying "I live here". Many moons ago I used to breed and show boxers and later ran the Boxer Rescue for 25 years, I was "ticked off" for displaying Beware of Dog sign by LA and Police but was advised by the latter the sign I speak of is perfectly legal!!

I have a ***** living here sign on the front door.

 

My sign on the gate says CAUTION dog running free. I thought it was a good one because Im not saying the dog is dangerous, Im just saying that a dog lives here.

I was advised by police that My "Beware of the dog", and later my "Beware of the DogS"signeage were to be placed by way of a warning to any possible trespassers of the existence of dogs, not an advisory of their temperament.

 

When Married, My three dogs were all bark and no bite if someone entered in our presence and through the front door, the welcome one got was overwhelming, but very friendly, anyone attending in any other way

and my dogs took on a pack mentality and acted accordingly as they protected their family and territory.
