    • 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.

I think this was the worst day of my life.

 

Had the solicitor present but they had a Barrister to represent them (actually a very nice guy)

 

My case has been struck out! ordered to pay costs of £4558.00 in the form of judgement.

I feel sick to my stomach

Reasons for this is there is clearly no breach of contract and my claim has no basis in law and would have no prospect of success

I have 14 days to appeal to the judge personally in writing if this is declined I can appeal to a high court judge within 21 days

 

Need help and lots of it what shall I do Zoot

I'm so sorry to hear what has happened - personally I would appeal this decision and also seek advice from zoot and others as to what to do next.

 

Can you PM me with what was put forward by the defence to make the judge award to them?

 

Whilst it may be a small sting in the tail, it won't stop us from continuing the fight!

Jamorgan,

 

I am so sorry to hear this, I feel sick to the stomach for you. I am actually gobsmacked.

 

Chin up, wait for some advice and appeal.

 

(I can't believe they got a Barrister in, what do they charge? £500 to £1000 per hour? Bas***ds).

This is an example of what everyone dreads and I feel for you. On the positive side, this is absolutely fundamental to everyone at CAG and so you can be sure that everyone will be concerned (not only out of sympathy for you of coarse but also in light of the bigger picture). It may be hard to see the big picture at the moment, but it is clear to everyone who has rehearsed these arguments that you have a strong (at least answerable) position and so it should be heard

 

All the best

OMG Morgy, I am so sorry. I don't understand how they arrived at clearly no breach of contract, or the costs.

 

I hope Zoot can let you know on what grounds you can appeal. In the mean time, try and keep your chin up.

Very sorry to hear this.

 

How about the arguement that perhaps he is the only judge in the country who didn't agree that this are unlawful, charges.

Can't believe this and I feel gutted for you Morgy. On the plus side, you've got 2 weeks to make your appeal and there are some extremely well-informed people here who can help you put this together. You've not lost this one yet. Was the barrister exceptionally clever? Could you post details of what the legal arguments were? Try to post as much as you can remember. Could there be a transcript of the hearing? Can't quite believe the judge said clearly no breach or that your case has no basis in law. Another judge on another day and it may have been different. Sounds like he made a mistake. Don't despair, I'm sure Zoot and a few others will have something to say about this.

Hi

 

Like everyone else, we're really really sorry to hear what has happened. You must feel absolutely gutted, to say the least.

 

Some detail as to what grounds the judge thought there was no case to answer would be useful. No doubt Zoot will assist your appeal(s) and put our minds back on track. At the moment, we feel nervous about pursuing action. We need a morale boost with a quick come-back - maybe a successfull appeal. Fingers crossed for that.

 

Chin up! We've been there, believe us . . .

Just on this one point alone... you can apply for a transcript but there is a charge and you'll need to 'employ' a company to do the work for you-it would be somewhere in the region of £50 - £100 depending upon the length of the hearing (in minutes).

 

This is, of course, presuming that the hearing was tape recorded....

 

If not, you would need to apply to the court to have copies of notes made by the Judge and for a written reason for the Judgment etc.

Just posting some bits that I'm remembering.

 

He struck it out on the grounds of Law and that it was not a penalty as there was no breach of contract. He said we could come out of the agreemant at anytime and it was our choice to do so as we excersied a right not broke a contract.

 

The Judge agreed with the Barristar who had arguments relevant to the past cases i.e Bridge v Campbell emphasising the fact that these were minority decisions.

 

I argued the point that we were offered one product only,and nothing else and if we continued with the three year term we could have faced loosing everthing due to the continuing rises and monthly repayments through years 2&3, he replied I still had the option of

1.not taking out the mortgage and

2. to come out at anytime and pay the ERC

I just went through several para's from my statement that i could rely on and he was unsimpathetic, he was completley on there side.

He also as we signed the contract we new exactly what it entailed.
