    • 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.

By lying you have a very good chance of the other side producing this thread in Court and asking you to explain.......

 

hmmmm......

 

Why don't you just write a letter explaining what parts of the order they have not complied with and why you need the information.

 

I have tried to help by pointing out all the info you need.

Gh,

 

Perhaps I should have written nearly all! I certainly wouldn't lower myself to their standards; lying, reconstituting agreements, ignoring addresses, extortion, harassment, etc.

 

Do I suggest an Unless order in a letter to the court?

 

Thank you for your help

if you are making an application i think it needs to be done on forms and not by personal letter to the judge

 

not read the thread but if they have not provided the documents referrred to in the POC then you cannot defend what you dont know- if they have not complied with CPR requests or court orders for production then you need (IMO ) to apply to the court for directions or an unless order

 

doing it by private letter does not go down well with most courts- they want the forms filled and the fee paid

Ta dd,

 

there has already been an Order from the Court that the claimant has half complied with but not fully and not enough to

a) prove they lawfully own the debt and have cause of action in their own name

b) that there is an enforceable agreement

c) there was a compliant DN and

d) hmmm

 

If you do need to make an app it would be without a hearing so only £35 and you wouldn't have to pay that if you are exempt see ex160

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

##### -v- [You]

Claim No:********

 

I, the Defendant in this case, refer to the claim as detailed above and specifically the Order made by District Judge ***** dated [date]

 

I wish to inform the Court that the Claimant has not complied with the order in that it has not served upon me all the documents as ordered.

 

detail what's missing or illegible or whatever

 

It is submitted that the Claimant's non-compliance creates a significant imbalance between the parties, which I believe to be contrary to the Overriding Objective. This imbalance is particularly exacerbated by the fact that the Claimant is represented by specialist solicitors, whereas I am a litigant in person.

 

I am unable to submit a fully particularised Defence as, not only am I not able to examine properly the alleged agreement or Default Notice, but I am not even able to ascertain whether the Claimant is in fact even the lawful owner of the alleged account.

 

Accordingly, it is respectfully suggested that the court may be minded to make an order pursuant to Rule 3.4(2)© of the Civil Procedure Rules, or other such order as the court deems just.

 

Yours faithfully

I went to the Court today and they accepted the letter. To date they've heard no more from CL Finance.

 

Re; CL Finance Limited v Miss D Screet

Case No; xxxxx

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I, the Defendant in this case, refer to the claim as detailed above and specifically the Order made by District Judge xxx dated xx 2010

 

The Claimant did not serve the papers to the correct address, I did eventually manage to track the paperwork down. I did not get a copy by the xx March 2010, therefore I have not been able to reply on time.

 

I wish to inform the Court that the Claimant has not complied with the order in that it has not served upon me all the documents as ordered.

 

The alleged credit card agreement is illegible.

 

There is no Default Notice compliant with s87(1) Consumer credit Act 1974 and Consumer Credit (Enforcement, Default and Termination Notices) Regulations 1983 (SI 1983/16561) as amended, together with proof of service.

 

There is no deed of assignment.

 

No Notice of Assignment, with proof of service of the same compliant with s196 of the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

There is not a full and complete statement of account including all payments made and charges applied covering the period beginning with the day of the making of the agreement and ending on the date of the commencement of this case.

 

It is submitted that the Claimant's non-compliance creates a significant imbalance between the parties, which I believe to be contrary to the Overriding Objective. This imbalance is particularly exacerbated by the fact that the Claimant is represented by specialist solicitors, whereas I am a litigant in person.

 

I have not been able to submit a fully particularised Defence as, not only am I not able to examine properly the alleged agreement or Default Notice, but I am not even able to ascertain whether the Claimant is in fact even the lawful owner of the alleged account.

Yours faithfully

 

So now I suppose I just wait?

Nope, you search out as many similar cases as you can on CAG and read. read, read.

 

Also read the CPR - Parts and Practice Directions and the Current CCA

 

That way you should be able to fully understand what you actually wrote in that letter and be better prepared for whatever happens next.

 

Good luck

I'll second GH's comments, you need to be fully prepared to back up what youve sent to court, the other side will definitely try to confuse, so its in your interest to have answers ready to swat theirs away.

Hi all,

 

I have received this from the court:

 

Re; CL v Miss D Screet

Case no; xxxx

 

I write to you with regard to your letter dated xxx 2010

 

This was referred to the District Judge who has made the following comments;

 

'The defendant would need to make an application on notice supported with evidence if she wishes the court to consider striking out the claimants claim'

 

I assume this means I now fill out the N244 form and pay £35?

Edited by pigland

Pigs do Fly!

Hi all,

 

Help required with N244

 

Bringing up to speed;

 

I put in an embarrassed defence (Post 1)

The court ordered the claimant send in all documents (post 4)

 

The claimants sent;

 

1 An illegible alleged agreement with a signature. They attached some terms & conditions where they have typed my name and address on, these are quite obviously nothing to do with the original alleged agreement.

 

2 A default notice that doesn't seem to comply. (Not 14 days)

 

3 There is no deed of assignment.

 

4 A copy of a letter dated 6th March 2009 from Lewis Group. in a box it says

 

'We hereby give you notice that MBNA have by an assignment dated xx February 2009 and made between MBNA and CL Finance assigned to CL Finance absolutely a debt in the sum of £XXXX due and owing by you to them*for the balance due under reference xxxx and you are required to pay the same to the benefit of CL Finance accordingly'.

 

Earlier in the thread I assumed this was a Notice of Assignment. It doesn't look the same as others on CAG so I have now realised this is just a letter from Lewis Debt Recovery. As such they have not supplied a Notice of Assignment, I do not recollect ever receiving one. Therefore I do not believe they legally own the alleged debt.

 

 

5 They have only sent Statements ranging from January 2008 to January 2009 even though the alleged agreement started in 2004.

 

I should have filed an amended defence by xx March 2010, as I felt the Claimants hadn't complied with the order; I sent a letter under the direction of the Court office (post 36). I then received a response back from the court (post 39)

 

Q; I haven't put in an amended defence; I assume I don't have to comply with putting in my witness statement by 20 April and just need to submit the N244 for now?

 

Referring to form N244 Section 3; What order are you asking the court to make and why?

 

This is how I am looking to fill out this part of the form; (Please amend if necessary)

 

I, the Defendant in this case wish to inform the Court that;

 

The Claimant served limited documentation to the incorrect address, I eventually tracked them down and did not get a copy by the xxth March 2010. Therefore I have not been able to reply in time. (see letter to the court dated xx March).

 

The Claimant has failed to comply in full with the Order made by Judge xxxx dated xxxx February 2010.

 

1 The alleged credit card agreement is illegible. This agreement must comply with the Consumer Credit Act of 1974 in order to establish their right to enforce the debt. *The claimant has attached to the alleged agreement some terms that do not appear to form part of the alleged illegible agreement.

 

2 The Claimant have supplied a default notice but this is incorrect due to not enough time being given.

There is no proof of service.

 

3 There is no deed of assignment.

 

4 There is no Notice of Assignment, with proof of service of the same compliant with s196 of the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

5 There is not a full and complete statement of account including all payments made and charges applied covering the period beginning with the day of the making of the agreement and ending on the date of the commencement of this case.

 

It is submitted that the Claimant's non-compliance creates a significant imbalance between the parties, which I believe to be contrary to the Overriding Objective. This imbalance is particularly exacerbated by the fact that the Claimant is represented by specialist Solicitors, whereas I am a litigant in person.

 

The Claimant has had every opportunity to file all the documentation, it is not unreasonable for them to have filed such documentation on time at the first opportunity. I have not been able to submit a fully particularised Defence as; not only am I not able to examine properly the alleged agreement, but I am not even able to ascertain whether the Claimant is in fact even the lawful owner of the alleged account.

 

Q; At this point do I ask here for an 'unless' Order for them to comply and if they don't comply do I ask for a strike out if so how would I term it?

 

 

Section 4; Have you attached a draft of the order you are applying for?

Is this covered above?

 

Section 10; What information will you be relying on, in support of your information;

the attached witness statement

The statement of case

the evidence set out in the box below

Q; What do I put here?

 

Thank you for all your help.

I will ask site team for some help.. I dont really understand what you are doing.

 

You would need to attach draft directions I think. Plus it might be a good idea to turn the above into a witness statement and attach it to the N244.
