I am helping my niece on an overdraft debit originally with the Bank of Scotland that was bought by Intrum. I would appreciate any help and advice. . . here is the story so far: The bank account was in my niece’s name that had an overdraft facility. My niece and her partner, at that time, run into some financial hardship caused her to default in account, March 2017. They agreed with bank to settle the outstanding some but removing the excessive charges. My niece’s partner claimed that he paid the agreed sum and the couple never heard any more from the bank on the issue until started to their claim. Unfortunately all the records of the settlement is with my noises x-partner. So we have not much to go on other than retrieve all the bank records on the account. Intrum bought the debit on 28/11/2018. Intrum filed to recover the debit with the Simple Procedure court in Glasgow in April 2020. I have send SAR letter to the Bank of Scotland but had no response from them yet, perhaps because of the current Pandemic situation. The court directed me to call the original loan holder to the Case Management discussion, by filling in some legal form, to answer to present their legitimacy of the debit. I would be grateful if anyone could have help with your views on the best way to proceed. -

How do I know what to reply though and how to get it right. I may have had 12 months to sort it but I simply have not been able to afford to keep it up. In December I had high hopes but circumstances completely out of my control at that time meant rightly or wrongly my bank account was not on my mind. Bear in mind I have taken out 2000 and paid back 4700 or thereabouts. So it certainly isn’t the case that I never ever paid them or tried to run away. I have made substantial payments throughout these couple of years.

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON**
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
