    • 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.

Since 1995 I have been getting DLA (High rate both) and had to claim every 5 years to start with, then in 1999 I had to fill in the form as part of the govenments integrity check, but told I dont need to re-claim.

 

On another claim, they reduced my care to mid rate, and 1 year, took them to court and was given back high rate and 5 years.

 

Next claim (2005) they give high rate, but ony 3 years, I asked for a review and they gave it for life

 

2010, they wrote to me telling me they had got information that casts dobt on my claim, and I had to fill in a new claim. (December)

 

4 months later (seen there doctor too) they said I was not entitled to DLA at any rate.

 

2007 I had an operation to my left arm (accident many years ago) and another operation next month.

 

I also have a back problem, spine degenrative decease and a disk has come out, also suffer from tinittus badly, and excess acid

 

Forms were filled in with the same info, just updated with anything new..

 

It happend so fast, ive sent them a letter 5 days ago, asking for an appeal, nothing so far...

 

So what the hell is going on?

 

From what they have said, someone has phoned them up and told them something, I have many nasty neigbours, who resent me as the council fitted a new driveway to the rear of the house, but placed lockable bollards so they cant drive there. Also have new car... They did this so I could drive into garden

 

No good guessing what was said..

 

Im broke, have £4000 on credit card after xmas, £4000 left to pay on car (Private finance) and now on reduced income support and sickness benefit

 

I dont see any light at the end of the tunnel, next month after papments are made for car and credit card, I go overdrawn at bank, but cannot recover by the next month, after adding up all the bills I need £68 more a week

 

I dont want bancrupcy, but what can I do?

DLA is not awarded because you have a particular medical problem but takes into account your ability to cope with it and how it affects your day to day functioning. Many people mistakenly think that if an award is made for life or indefinitely that they are then entitled to it regardless. However you are still obliged to notify them if your condition, or your ability to cope with it, improves. The department are quite within their rights to review any award at any time. Although you have mentioned your medical conditions you have not said anything regarding the affect they have on you? I can only assume that the information they have obtained from your review form and health professionals involved in your care suggests you no longer meet the criteria for DLA. I appreciate how distressing this must be for you and the financial impact it is having. DLA forms are notoriously difficult to complete and it is always worth seeking advice from CAB or a welfare rights adviser when completing one. A common 'mistake' is to downplay your symptoms and their affect on you, human nature is to be positive but in your case this may have gone against you.

A friend of mine had similar problems with neighbours years ago. Like you, she also has a spine degenerative disorder but because her symptoms weren't visible to neighbours, they tried to cause all kinds of aggravation for her re. her home improvements and new (motability) car, etc.

 

Animal Lover is right in the sense that DLA is awarded on the amount of care you need and the amount of help you need to get around. The key word really is "help".... they are not interested in how ill you are or how isolated you may be or how much medication you're on. So if one of the local busybodies has 'phoned up to say you're getting around just fine and manage to load your own shopping, cook for yourself and so on.... then DWP will investigate.

 

From what you've said though, you weren't investigated as part of a fraud scenario but because you put different answers on your claim form. In future, please take copy of all pages of this horrendous form so that you can look back and reflect on what you've said in the past. By my reckoning, DWP spend more time trying to catch people out re. this Benefit than they should based upon answers on claim forms... and "life" awards seem to be very rare these days anyway.

 

Years ago, my daughter's renewal application was refused because the GP had used the word "prudent" in a letter... I went to Appeal and had the whole lot backdated. Her health has since improved and she's not been on it for some years but if it seems to be the case that people need to go to Appeal these days to have their claims assessed properly. DWP seem to be of the opinion that people are on the fiddle... and a lot are.... but it makes for one enormous headache for people who are genuinely ill.

 

If I were you, I'd start a seperate thread in the Debt forums for advice on your credit cards, etc. There is indeed light at the end of the tunnel re. this and we can help you with advice re. token payments, having interest frozen and making CCA requests.

As animal lover says, we tend to play it down and fill the forms as if on a good day and to be honest some times its embaressing going into it, so we dont.

 

But you have to tell them how it really affects you for them to get a true picture. Welfare rights are great.

 

Also correct that if condition improves the entitlement to dla can cease and overule life award.

 

Good luck xxx

As priority one says some neighbours or supposed friends dont know the full facts or pain you might be in and to be honest some are just down right evil trying to cause stress which we dont need.

But when investigated the true facts soon come to light and case closed if it was malice, but they have to investigate.

 

There was a thread on here recently where able bodied person, pensioner started a conversation on why he couldnt get something similar to a moobility car. Why he felt disadvantaged to because he was able bodied he didnt qualify.

 

He also didnt take into account that disabled people are helped becasue they are ummm huummm disabled. Says it all really, misguided jeoulosy and feeling like missing out.

 

I would wish my epilepsy away with the swipe of a harry potter wand for the feeling of being normal again and not have to worry about messing yourself in public, its not something you choose to put on yourself xxxx

 

According to papers yesterday police used a taser on man having a grand mal, lovely and makes me feel able to face the outside world again, not.

 

If thee taser could cure epilepsy and mental health problems, that cop could be on a winner to a fortune, but somehow I think its likely someone will die. xxxx

 

Mr rant of the day over, best wishes with the appeal.

Thanks for the replies, since 1995 I have copies of all the forms I filled in, and they are all about the same, as there hasnt been much change.

 

I use a wheelchair, because of my back accident many years ago, I cannot walk at all without feeling a lot of pain.

 

I cannot use my left arm at all, 2007 operation didnt help, and within the next few months I have another operation on it.

 

I clearly said that I need help, even with simple tasks, afer all how can you cook if you cannot get out of a wheelchair, and can only use one arm/hand

 

Throughout the night things keep me awake, "if" I get to sleep, just turning and pressing on my arm wakes me, if not that the pain I get in my tummy wakes me, if not that the pain in my back, and thats if my tinnitus lets be get to sleep at all.

 

So I put down i dont have a regular day/night and even when i go to bed, I dont sleep for very long. and need someone to get medicines, drinks, help to toylet, help to bath for a soak in hot water, help pull cloths on etc etc

 

This started many years ago, all the hospital treatment, all and everything stops when they tell you they cant do anything more for you.

 

Its been over a week, still not heard anything from them, but they stopped the benefit within a day of the decition, and all the other benifits stopped within a day of that, but still no reply from them.

 

Now I have high blood pressure, spoke to the doc today and now have tablets for that..

 

So although most info is old, I did have updates on arm and back, which they ignored.

 

The doctor they sent didnt ask how far I could walk, she asked if i could stand, when I tried she stopped me, as i was in a lot of pain, but lets face it thats all an act sometimes, and they can write false info, ive seen it before..

 

Im suppose to get a TAS 1, not had one, when it comes then I speak with the help groups, who I should have spoken too before I filled in the form, but if my health hasnt changed, my needs havent changed, then you write the same in the form as you wrote before

please dont give up, that is exactly what atos/dwp want you to do.You should contact cab asap as they will help you, they can write to your specialists and get legal aid for you to get letters from the specialists you have seen. If you get these letters and they confirm all your conditions then the tribunal will find in your favour as it will override any atos hcp(remember they are all not dr,s).Most of these biased atos hcp,s are there to put people off benefits pure and simple, dont trust any of them.

 

I have been fighting them for over a year now and it seems i have backed them into a corner, i have proof that their hcp done my medical wrong but i have to go through their complaints procedure before i can take it to the gmc and the parlamentary ombudsman.I should be able to do this soon.

 

Since then i have had a second medical from a different hcp and before he came out atos had to supply me with his qualifications so i could check he was properly qualified.Atos tried to tell me i couldnt do it but i had a letter from the dwp telling me it was ok for me to do this,i also told atos that i would want to read the hcp,s report before he left my house and once again atos said it wasnt allowed but the dwp had told me that was also ok,atos tried to tell me on 4 separate occaisions that their hcp,s dont show people their reports before they leave the house, they said "prior to 2007 they had to let people see their reports but this isnt so now" I asked them to show me legal proof of this and to this day they havnt done so.So anyone that is having a medical for dla or other benefits let atos and the dwp know you want this information and dont take no for an answer if anything it will make atos un-easy.

 

When the hcp came to my house their was a representitive from atos with him (has this happened to anyone else) The man from atos told me "he was here to make sure my medical was done correctly" this tells me they know the first one wasnt.Anyway i have been awarded dla at higher rates and their was no need for me to take it to appeal. So when you are dealing with atos do whatever you can to make their job harder and dont believe a word that comes out of their head office or their hcp,s.

Well as I said this isnt the first time they tryed to lower my DLA, even if its the first time in 20 years they stopped it all.

 

I did have a doctor visit years ago who spent most of the time writing rubbish, and not even asking questions, these type of doctors get more work if they lower the award or stop it.. sad facts...

 

I rang them up to see whats going on, they tell me they get 30,000 letters a day and I have to wait 14 days or more. Meanwhile I got some hospital letters, specalist reports, and sent them off, nothing to loose.

 

I cannot go anywhere at the moment, ive been told I have to wait until the DLA send me a TAS 1, then these people will help me.

 

Funny thing is I found out an old friend works for CAB and has done for 19 years, bloody wish I new that before. I also have a friend who is a barister, so when the time comes they will help me

 

I had an old claim for industrial injury, and thought I would follow it up, they still have the records and sent me a form. However since this benefit comes out of income support, no reason to claim it, no premiums added to income support for this.

 

Blood preasure has shot up, now taking tablets for that too, the waiting is killing me, and its getting closer to the day when all the bills arrive and nothing to pay them with, first time in my life not being able to pay the bills, and its taking its toll on me

Please get in contact with your friend from cab asap as he can also write to your creditors for you and it will take some pressure off you.If you have been on dla for such a long time and your condition hasnt changed,then there should be no reason for you not to still get it .Dont let atos brush you off speak to your doctor, are you still attending hospitals ? get as much information you can about your disabilities and what the dwp have said in the past about your condition.As i have said, atos have tried everything to get me to go away but they have no chance.Keep your head up and keep fighting .

Today the DLA telephoned me, first they tell me there is no TAS 1 anymore, and they take my letter as the appeal, which I only said "I dont agree" and want to appeal. Rang barrister (Friend) he's away but will help when the time comes, rang CAB and got answer machine, left message, I do have his home number if he dont ring me back soon. Rang a solicitor group that deals with benefits, will ring me back, they havent so far.

 

While im trying hard to rush things, the world runs at a snail pace.

 

DLA said they will send copies of all documents used, and Ill get a better picture of whats been said. Meanwhile I have printed all my health problems, when they started, when I went to hospital, and how the problems effect my health.

 

DLA are basically saing for example "can walk without help" how the hell would they say this when Im in a wheel chair, unless my stupid doctor noted this, even through I just have telephone consultations with him..

 

My doctor didnt even have the letter sent to him about my back, which I asked for a copy of when at the hospital last.. beats me that they can fill in a DLA report at all, and just guess answers

 

Since 1995 form I sent in is about the same, same old questions, same old answers. Nothings changed and so doctors reports should also be about the same. DLA doctors have seen me before, so unless they just lied they would say about the same thing.

 

So whats changed?

I am sorry but have you had a medical exam done recently by the dwp/atos? How has the dwp decided you no longer qualify for dla ? they would have had to contact you first, then contact your own gp ,or send out an atos hcp(remember they are not all doctors).Unless they have new information about your condition they cant just stop your benefits, they need medical proof that your condition has improved and in your case it would have to improved a great deal.

 

I stay in glasgow and they still use tas 1 so i dont know what they mean when they say they dont use them anymore.

 

I asked my doctor for a full copy of my medical file dating back 15 years so i could show the dwp how often i had to attend hospitals and my gp.I had no problem getting it as you are entitled to it.

 

You could write to the dwp and ask for a SUBJECT ACCESS REPORT and they also have to give you it.Then you might be able to see exactly what the dwp and atos have said about you.

 

I know it can get you down but please dont take no for an answer.When you get your case sorted and you will, all your money will be backdated.If you cant get in touch with cab try and find if you have an advice centre or contact welfare rights ,but please keep fighting dont let them beat you.

 

I believe this is what the dwp and atos are hopeing people do,as they know not everybody will take them on.I have won my case but i am still fighting atos and the first hcp who examined me and i will be going to the general medical council with my complaint when i have exhausted atos,s complaints procedure.Try,if you can to contact your mp and put pressure on him/her to take on your case.

 

It is a total disgrace that the dwp/atos can treat people like yourself the way they do and have no one to answer to.

 

Keep well

George

Today I got a huge amout of printouts, some of them from my 2005 claim, anyway it shows they contacted the hospitsls but got nothing back from them, other than a letter saying to contact my GP..

 

So they got no hospital reports!

 

But i sent some later, but no reply for sending them, have also asked at the hospital for letters on my condition, dont know if ill get them

 

I now have the same solicitor who i seen at my last tibunal, and im sure it will take him weeks to get through these documents, and my responce.

 

You can bet I will fight them, all the way to EEC and more !

Contact your doctor and tell him you want a copy of your medical file going back to 1995,they cant refuse to give you it although they might try and charge you for the printouts,let cab or your solicitor contact the hospitals and ask for your files (you should get legal aid).

 

I dont think there should be any need for you to go to appeal, get a copy of the report from the dla that states you no longer meet the requirements for dla again they cant refuse to give you it.

 

It looks like they have made a massive mistake and believe me when i say mistakes like this is going on all the time.

 

Have you managed to get help about your debts yet ?

 

I notice by your latest post you seem to be feeling a bit better, keep going you will win in the end.

Well you do sometimes feel better after speaking to solicitors and things, but then when you start reading what was said you feel bad again.

 

I paid of my debts with my credit card, so some preasure off me there, if i dont get my DLA back, will make an offer of £1/month !

 

Solicitor is getting my medical records, DLA didnt get any info from hospital, but I did ! and did send it to the DLA, which they ignored..

 

Got letter from tribunal service, said its going to be 11 weeks !

Well it had to happen, last monday I had a heart attack..

 

Was rushed to hospital with a blood clot and had an emergency operation, arttery blocked, so they fitted a stent, now on even more pills.

 

It can only happen to me :)

 

Huh, Im alive and kicking so no theat...

 

Yet another update

The care allowence (stopped by DWP) isnt automatically restored, you have to make a fresh claim, and claim from the date it was stopped.

 

1, fill claim form online

2, print out signed form

3, send in id and form

4, get another form for me to sign saying i know someone is claiming it for me

 

Wait Wait and Wait even more

I have loads of stents and heart attacks (been collecting them over last 8 or 9 years), you'll be fine. Had my last a couple of weeks ago, so nice not having pain all the time and to put the icing on the cake got a call from Job centre saying i was in ESA support group.

 

Care allawance sorted out aswell (I'm my wife's carer) won't take long once the stuff sent off. Did it same as you online and printed form, signed and sent off. I didn't need to send any ID in. Such a busy time (what with heart procedure, and claims for various allances) but all is working out fine now. You shouldn'e have to wait long, I think it only took a few weeks and got carers premium on our Pension credits all backdated, although had to phone about that, the Pension credit people where informed but for some reason the premium was not applied till I phoned about it.

 

Don't forget to check out your getting it. If your not on pension credit you can get the premium addded to Income Support, income based Jobseekers Allowance, Housing Benefit, Council Tax Benefit, or income based Employment and Support Allowance. So if your getting any of these and you have an "Underlying Entitlement" don't forget to check.
