    • 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 this is my first posting and will hope that maybe somone out there can help me.

my daughter (either nice or foolisly) got me a car as thanks for helping her out with somthing, her and her chap were doing well at the time so i did not question it. after nearly 21/5 years they have split up and she has the little girl and they live with me and her mum. thats the history..

I have now found out the the car she gave me she took out a FIXED-SUM AGREEMENT to pay the car with, My daughter reg the car in my name and its still in my name know.

she had without my knowlage stoped paying for it and soon we recived the letters and she ownup.

BH gave her 3 things she could do,,

1, pay it all off with a small discount (we can not do that we have no money)

2, trade it down at one of there garages (we still can not pay that)

3, they would let her take out a new agreement for 5years (this meant she would now have been paying over 8 years.

we asked if we could sll the car and pay off the diferanc and they told us it was there car and we couldent sell it until we paid them, they told us they would hold off for 14 days so that we could think about it and that was on friday 5pm...on the monday morning their soloictors had taken my daughter to court with out telling us, not even a letter..

i contacted there solicitirs and they then confirmed that the loan is indeed a personal loan ans not secured on anything and not on the car..they have said she is free to sell the car and it is not showing up when it is hpi.. BH have sent us a letter saying they do not hold legal title to the car but they may request a court to gain it back.

i know this is a long thread, but can someone please help me with a couple of questions.

1, do i own the car, it was reg in my name and i have had it for over 3 years,

2 is this a persional loan or a hp agreement attached to the car.

Hi Bill,

 

Has your daughter got a copy of the agreement that she signed? If not, she needs to request it.

 

If it is a personal loan, as the solicitors state, the vehicle is not held as security so it is yours to do with as you please.

 

If it is on HP then it the car belongs to BH until the account is settled but they could take action to recover it under the terms of the agreement.

 

You say that she has been taken to court without prior warning? Strange, but it could happen, but I would be asking BH for copies of any letters. So SAR may need to be done as well.

 

Make sure she doesn't sign anything else for them!

 

Get the copy agreement and post up here for us to take a look and offer assistance

for them to 'have taken her to court' there would have been several steps, involving a 'set of letters and processes' they would have needed to have gone through. as your daughter did not receive these [for whatever reason] it will be very easy to get this case set aside.

though i pers question 'has this actually happened [can't see a solicitor lying?]'

 

pers i would contact the sol, ask what court this was and phone and check a CCJ exists just to check.

 

i expect this [again unless the sol Is lying?] to be true.

the sol will have all the paperwork, request that a copy of ALL the paperwork concerned with the case is fwded to her, inc the agreement, that will clear up the hp/pers loan issue.

 

then lets go from from there

 

something smells here.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi Dotty & dx10uk,

many thanks for your feedback.

because my daughter split with he hubby and moved back with us i did not know about missed payments,

when i did find out i contacted BH and that is when they gave us the suggestion of the 3 ways they wanted us to go but were addament that the car was theres until it was paid 4 in full and they said it was an hp agreement.

as i said they gave us 14 days fromthe friday (@5-00pm) to make the choice and said they would hold the account. i found out that their solicitors has applied to the court on the monday morning and issued, we recived the court documents on the thursday and that is when i called there solicitors and that is when they were very aplolijectic and they told me this was a personal loan that my daughter had taken out, they said that there was a hpi attached to it but that they would remove it if we wanted to sell it.

at the time because i did not trust them we wrote back to the court saying that she did owe the debt (because she does) and there is no CCJ registered against he and it is just liying there.

my daughter is in a right state and we are doing our best to help her out.

 

the agreement as i said says that it is a FIXED-SUM AGREEMENT we have in voice only agreed to make payments of 205 per month on the account until we decide what to do as that is the amount that they said she could refince it over for another 5 years, we have repeatdely told them that these paymnets should not lead to any assumption that this is now an implyed contract and they keep sending out warning/fine letters and photocopied agreements for her to sign.

i have already wrote to them to request a copy of the agreement and alls as they send us is 2 pages, we have asked the CAB about this and they have told me to write to them requesting the FULL agreement as they think it shuld be more than 2 pages,,,

 

i really need to know 2 things, a, is this a persnal loan or hp,,,,,and b, because the car is regisered in my name and always has been as she gave it to me who does the car belong 2..

 

sorry its so long

Hi Bill,

 

Will take a look when you have scanned it.

 

In the meantime please make sure your daughter DOESNOT sign anything that they send her, just concerned if she is panicking she may think it will help to get it sorted.

Then it is for a loan - a Hire Purchase agreement would say "Hire Purchase Agreement Regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974." The solicitors have already confirmed it is a loan and not secured on the car. We really need to see what they sent you to see whether or not it is enforceable.

thanks Pinky69 i will get it scaned on for you, we have been told by every one including their solicitors its a ersional loan, and if that the cas seeing as she gave me the car 3 years ago then the car is mine as its been registered in my name all along. i know my daughter will have to pay the loan of eventuly or go bust because of other things he ex has left her with, but i belive that the car is mine, they can if they want go to court to try to take my car off me because it was baught with her money she borrowed, but i wonder how well that will hold up in court....what do you think???

Bill, they can't take YOUR car for a Personal loan that your daughter took out, it is irrelevant what she borrowed the money for!

 

When you have scanned the document on here you will get opinions as to whether it is enforcible or not, but the debt will remain either way. But your daughter can only afford what she can, you mention payments of £205 per month in an earlier post, this is a lot, if you say that she has nothing. Is this amount actually being paid?

hi,

regarding the £205 payments,well i have been paying this, and regarding the car company the car was purchased from the garage and there is no car company involved only blabckhorse who have said that they have an interest in the car but do not hold legal title to it however they say they can apply to the curts to get it back. i will also scan this letter in as well.

Black horses solicitors were the ones that told me this was a personal loan. i dont think they even know what type of agreement it is?

They will know what type of agreement it is alright. When I said car company, I was referring to whoever sold the car - as it is, it is a single trader. If the agreement is enforceable - and we haven't seen it yet - then Blackhorse can ask for repayment of the loan but what your daughter did with the money is none of their business and they cannot ask for a car to meet the debt anymore than they can ask for any other goods. I suspect this was just to put pressure on you to pay.

hi this is the agreement attached, there is only 2 pages that they have sent, and no matter how many times we ask they will only send page 1 or page2 or both and are trying to say this is it.

 

i hope this helps
