    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...
    • Its Gaelic celebration and bonfires today - Beltane Quite fortuitous for tomorrow lets hope
    • look on the bright side - it would allow Biden to do what he likes ...
    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again

    • 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

No sorry your loan would not be covered by the cca the limit is removed on the 6th April 2008.

I presume you are in FSA teritory.

 

Hang on a minute are you sure they have a court judgement did they issue a default and did you get enough time and information so that you could attend.

Ring them up and ask for a Court case number and which court it was heard in, ask them why they didn't send a default notice with the appropriate remedies before action as required by law.

 

I doubt very much this has gone to law but as i say ring them if they dont have the details it will put your mind at rest.

 

Regards

Peter

I doubt very much if this has gone to court, firstly if they take you to court you would have recieved a summons to appear and the reasons for the summons, you would have been given a court date, they cant just say its been taken to court you would have been informed by the court, I would hang tight on this one and do not take out another secured loan with Blemain because when your cash comes in in 6 weeks if you try to repay your "NEW" loan early the redemption fees are shocking, There is only a judge who can remonve you from your property and they only ever do this as a last resort, you are attempting to put things right by speaking with them and keeping them informed of your circumstances so no judge would ever evict you when you are attempting to put things right, be carefull of the amount of charges they WILL add to your account when you fall into arrears, its these charges you will end up fighting for as this company will rob you blind, keep us posted and good luck GC

I agree with the last few posts...

 

They cannot just say that they have taken you to court.

 

where is the summons?

 

If you do get one you must attend! put your case to the judge, and he will be on your side.

 

best of luck

Hi all

Well I contacted Consumer |Direct and they said it wasn't in their remit and to contact FOS, but already done that and they said it not in their remit!

Tried TS and they said it not in their remit either so I'm on my own in this.

 

Have sent a letter to BF saying I can pay in full on 25th but not before and pointed out that they have failed to send their complaints procedure and that they haven't dealt with the complaint and that they have 21 days left on the sar and wrongly dealt with that so far.

 

BF have 8 days left for cca.

 

I feel out on a limb at the moment but don't know what else to do.

Hi Midge,

I had exactly the same problem with BF, its as if there is no organisation overseeing the underhanded way they operate, its as if they are untouchable, there must be someone, somewhere who will listen and take on board and do something about our complaints against Blemein, there has to be surely or else all the financial institutions would be able to do whatever they want and charge the consumer whatever they want, who are they, and whats all this about only recently coming into their remit, so what, they ARE in their remit now so why dont they do something, it makes me so mad, I know how you feel Midge ive been down that road, its like beating your head against a brick wall.. Il stop now or else il rant on all night..GC

Well I've done a letter of complaint to TS.

 

I am writing to complain about the advice I was given on 11/7/2007 by ***** ****.

I emailed her about an issue I have with a loan company failing to deal with a complaint I made to them back in March 2007. They have continued to ignore my complaint and have refused to supply me with their complaints procedure.

My e-mail (copy attached) details the steps I have taken to get them to deal with the complaint and the things that have happened since.

I was not requesting advice about debt but because I have so far contacted the Financial Ombudsman and Consumer Direct and been told it is not in their remit I had hoped for some professional advice from you with regard to this companies poor trading practices.

Below is a quote from the Trading Standards Institute website which for some reason made me think that you would be able to advice

“Our aim is to promote excellence and enhance the professionalism of our members in support of empowering and informing consumers, encouraging and working with honest businesses, targeting rogue traders and rogue trading practices and contributing to the health, welfare and wellbeing of citizens and communities.”

I would now appreciate it if you could look into this company’s failure to send me a copy of their complaints procedure and the fact that they have spent 4 months ignoring my complaint. If you cannot do this I would appreciate a detailed explanation as to why not.

 

See if does any good.

Hi all, me and my b/f took out a loan as we were swamped with debt from bank charges and feared we would lose our house, so we took out a loan with blemain finance. (If only i found this site earlier) Anyway the agent came out and my b/f spoke to him, I was really ill in bed at the time so my b/f had to bring papers up to me, the agent said he should witness all signings, but he didnt really mind. Anyway as we were desperate with being behind on our mortgage we just signed all. Its been a couple of months now and I just found the copy of proposed agreement and also a signed (by us) legal charge. Obviously I now realise that they have mass control over us and our house is at risk with them now if we miss payments. I dont see why we had to sign this legal charge as we have other secured loans and had no dealing with this company before. Also I was told I had to sign the loan to have a better chance of it going through even though I didnt put any of my income down and it was all based on my b/f income. Even though we were desperate I might of reconsidered if the legal charge had of been explained to me. (I mean if I was ever unfortunate enough to lose my house I would prefer it to be to the bank and not for some loan) When i told my b/f about it he was as suprised as me. On the letter I now see it says (you should take independant legal advise before signing) but the agent came round at about 7-8pm at night, and with me being ill in bed my b/f just did as he said. I know there is probably nothing i can do but paying back £10,785.03 for a £5,000 loan just feels like we were a bit ripped off. Anyway sorry to go on everyone. Im sure they are under three names on my b/f credit report one is (Blemain Group) who we got the loan from so thats fine, but then theres (Future Mortgages- Dean House) obviously we know dean house is associated or part of them. Forgot the third. Also on some-ones earlier thread I think he linked his (copy of proposed credit agreement) well mine is same as his, except in his (other financial information box) I have been charged a £200.00 acceptance fee. Well Im just going to get a CCA in post I think.

Hi Midge

 

Well my loan has only been going about 7-8 months and I know I have made 2 late payments so I know I will have a few charges there. Im hoping to release some equity on my house in 6 months time hopefully my credit report will look better then and with part of it I plan to get rid of Blemain scumbags. Ive heard of other companies putting the SAR fee on to ppls account instead of using it for its proper purpose. Its disgusting that TS and fsa and places like that offer no help, then again its not surprising as thats all I ever seem to read about them, on issues all over this site. Fair enough they cant go on 1 persons complaint but surely the amount of complaints they get from ppl should make them take some sort of action.

Just done a quick calculation and if correct there really is no point in me repaying early as I think it will still amount to £10,000 on the £5,000 loan. because it only goes down to £107.66 on every £100 after 30 months of paying. I always thought that when you re-payed early you would just have to pay just under what you borrowed. I dont even know why the loan was taken out over 10 yrs its more like a mortgage, I thought you could choose your repayment terms but we weren't even offered, so unless you dont then. The worst thing is, shortly after we got the loan I successfully claimed against halifax. Why didnt I find this site earlier.
