Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc.

The defendant faild to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. The dbt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments?

Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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 LTD,

 

The letters from HL Legal Sol'rs is probably a standard letter as Debt Star suggests. Their suggestion of court action may be serious, or may just be a standard idle threat.

 

In any event, I thought you were about to start proceedings against the bank for charges.

We could do with some help from you

Hi Slick

 

Yes I realise it is probably a standard threat-o-gram, I just don't want to fall foul of anything that could jeopadise the way things go from here.

 

In any event, I thought you were about to start proceedings against the bank for charges.

 

Yes - As soon as the dealine passes from the LBA I am going to proceed that way.

 

I know I shouldn't have done, but I have spoken to CapQuest by phone and told them to stop pestering me, as the account is clearly in dispute. I shall again write to them tomorrow with a copy of the original dispute that I raised, just for the avoidance of any doubt and that they cannot say that I have not informed them of any dispute. The guy I spoke to has told me he will pass it back to admin to sort out the dispute, but they will have to wait until Hell freezes over, or Cap One repay what I am owed before I speak to them again.

Hi TDS

 

The OC was Capital One, CapQuest have bought the debt off them, probably because of the age of the agreement. 2001

 

I CCA'ed CapQuest and they sent me the NOA, the front page of the agreement, which is at the beginning of this thread. But no T and C's

 

CapQuest then sent me the T and C's but these are obviously reprinted and not from the back of the agreement, as there are about 6 pages or so of them.

 

I put the account in dispute with CapQuest and they then wrote a long leter back saying that they do not believe it is in dispute, and then today I received a letter off HL Legal.

 

It does not mention anything about an admin charge.

 

 

 

I haven't actually reported CapQuest to anyone at the moment, and I have a LBA against Cap One sent last week asking for the £4.7k back that they owe me for unfair charges, late fees, and Contractual / Stat Interest. My balance of the Cap One account is said to be just less than £2000 according to CapQuest and Cap One. Therefore, I am owed more than I owe CapQuest.

 

The problem is (or that I can see) Cap One owe this to me, and any balance that I may owe to Cap One is technically owed to CapQuest as they bought the debt.

 

 

 

The agreement to me is unenforceable.

 

caponeagreement.gif

 

As it has none of the prescribed terms on it. As previously stated, they have sent a copy of the T and C's but these are on about 6 or 7 pages, and there is no way that they could have been within the 4 corners. I understand this was later addressed, but the date of the original agreement is 2001 so does not come into it afaik

 

The T and C's they have sent do not even correspond to the correct amount being charged for default charges, as in my statements from Cap One show £20 etc but the T and C's have a lower amount, and so could not be from the original agreement anyway.

 

Also the Agreement was sent initially, but with no T and C's and so if they were part of the original agreement, then surely they would have sent them all at the same time.

 

Not just that, its an application form not a credit agreement to my mind! That really is a shocker. Still, I would be minded to argue the toss in correspondence with HL if it was me 'cos you may just find they 'have a word' with CapQuest on the unenforceability of the document plus your counter claim.

Advice and comments posted by The Debt Star reflect only my personal opinion and it is up to you alone to decide what action you should take. You should always seek independent legal advice from your own qualified legal advisor.

That's what's worrying me, on one hand I am claiming it is unenforceable, on the other I am asking Cap One for the fees they have charged me back. It seems a little not right if you get what I mean.

 

I am quite happy to pay CapQuest in full with the refund from Cap One, it's just do I let them know or do I hit them with it once they issue proceedings. A £4.7k counterclaim should blow any hope of them getting any money out of the water. Hopefully.

possibly...but teh problem with that is costs. if you lose, you pay their legal fees. but then, will you? I see the point you are making but, truth be told, both yuo and CrapOne are then saying the agreement is enforceable and you want the charges refunded. Yes, I think this is the way to go and that you probably should sue them. BUT write to the 'solicitors' making your case. You could, in the interim, agree a repayment plan with CrapQuest while you CrapOne case is being pursued?

In Small Claims I don't think I would be liable to costs?

 

I offered Cap One to settle for approx £4k if they did within 10 days of the LBA but so far not a sausage from them.

 

I do know that Cap One would offset any arrears with CapQuest before I got any money from them, of which I am happy to do, thta was what I have offered them in the reduced without prejudice offer in the LBA I sent.

then it will be small claims and no need to worry about heavy costs from the other side- keep it below £5000 and simple

 

Good, that was what I was thinking. I know the interest is going up daily, but I was going to use the original figures that I asked for in the LBA and not rework them to off set the chance of it going over the 5k mark.

Re Death Star's post #133 above, as long as you are confident with the spreadsheet calculations for interest, there is very little chance of losing the court claim for repayment, whether the claim is under or over £5K.

 

I suspect negotiating on this with HL Sol'rs will be a waste of time as they're only interested in getting money FROM you.

Received the standard, it is going to take us a while to respond to your query letter this morning. I hope they don't take too long. They have about 6 days left by my reckoning before the 14 days runs out that I gave them.

Hi Slick

 

I used the standard compound calculator, and worked it out at about 22% as that is the rate shown on my screenshots from Cap One from the SAR.

 

All worked out on a spreadsheet and then the 8% added by that.

 

The only potential issue is the over 6 year rule thingy but I had countered that in my LBA using the words that you mentioned.

 

I agree re the solicitors.

It looks like Cap One are not playing ball. The 14 days is up on Thursday, so I shall start the ball rolling re the POC's for my N1

 

Any pointers on how best to present them?

 

Also just to throw a spanner in the works for CapQuest and HL Legal I have sent them a couple of letters.

 

1) I requested under CPR everything that HL would rely on etc if they were to proceed to court

2) I sent CapQuest the 'in serious dispute letter', telling them to bog off until such time that they provide me with an agreement and not an application form, along with the prescribed terms etc

 

Let's see how they resond to that.

 

I hope that CapQuest used HL Legal for a template generic threatening letter, you know the ones for about 75p in bulk. Hopefully now HL Legal have to do some work, and will bill CapQuest accordingly.

Hi LDT,

 

I think asking for info from HL Legal at this stage is a waste of your time. They have no obligation to supply it until they actually start proceedings.

 

Get to work on the POC's. This is from the Cap One forum Stickies - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?117741-New-Cap-1-Poc

I have a similar issue and the copy of the NOA interests me greatly. I have received a NOA that was supposedly from CITI. It is EXACTLY the same as yours and came in an envelope that has CapQuests POBOX on the reverse so i know it didnt come from CITI.

Can anybody help me?

 

I have fallen on hard times and now im unable to pay the full amount on my monthly load to CITI Financial. I have been sending them letter after letter since March asking if they could freeze the

interest
link3.gif
and accept a lower payment (just under 50% of the agreed monthly amount) until my finances recover but they have never bothered to reply. I have however had letters telling me I have had charges added to my account due to non payment.

 

Then today I have received a text message and a letter from CAPQUEST saying that CITI have sold my debt to them. Interestingly I also received a letter supposedly from CITI stating they have sold the debt to CAPQUEST. Both are dated the 24th August and arrived today on the 26th.

 

Upon reading a few posts on here I looked closer at the 2 letters and it’s now crystal clear that the letter from CITI isn’t actually real at all. The idiots at CAPQUEST have clearly just typed up the letter on a cheap piece of plain A4 paper and printed the CITI logo on the top left. I have compared this to previous correspondence from CITI and they are nothing alike.

 

I then looked at the envelope the 2 letters arrived in and as expected, CAPQUESTS envelope stated it was from their office in Fleet. However the envelope used for the “CITI” letter had a different PO Box printed on the back. Further investigation has now shown me that this PO Box belongs to CAPQUEST in Bristol so its impossible for this letter to have been sent from CITI. ********My "NOA" is in fact exactly the same as this one from Cap One. Only the logo is different********

 

I have contacted CITI to complain that they have not written back to acknowledge my request to make a lower payment and to ask if they have any record of sending me any letter stating they were selling my debt on. They have confirmed that they have not sent any letter and I am now going to send them a copy of their own letter.

 

Im thinking they should have either acknowledged my request and also wrote to inform me they are selling on my debt but as of today, I have received neither.

 

Surely this is fraud committed by CAPQUEST but I don’t know what to do next.

 

HELP PLEASE
