    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business CEntre Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio i Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue –  15 Feb 2024 Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?  The claim is for the sum of £922 due by the Defendant under and agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a Capital One account with an account reference of [number with 16 digits] The Defendant failed 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 has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 16-06-23, notice of which has 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 the issue of these proceedings in the sum of £49.15 The Claimant claims the sum of £972 What is the total value of the claim? £1112 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I dont know the details of the PAPDC to know if it was pursuant to paragraph 3, but I did receive a Letter of Claim with a questionaire/form to fill. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? no Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes 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. Assigned/purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I was aware, I'm not certain I received a 'Notice of Assignment' from Capital One but may have been informed the account had been sold without such a title on the letter? Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not since the debt purchase, and not from Capital One. Why did you cease payments? I can't remember - it was the tail end of the pandemic and I may not have had enough income to keep up payments - I am self-employed and work in the event industry - at that time. I also had a bank account that didn't allow direct debits and may have just forgotten payments and became annoyed at fines for late payments. What was the date of your last payment? Appears to be 20/4/2022 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No Here is my Defence: Defence - 1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had an agreement with Capital One but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unaware of having been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) 5. The Defendant has sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request. 6. A further request has been made via CPR 31.14 to the Claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The Claimant has not complied and to date nothing has been received. 7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and; b) show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed for and; c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 CCA1974 d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim 8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed 9. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of section 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief. .................. Please note that I had to write a defence quite quickly as I hit the deadline. At the time of writing the defence, I hadn't been able to find correspondence from Capital One, but had since found default letter etc. I submitted CCA request and CPR 31.14. However, I didn't get any proof of postage or use registered post for the CPR (an oversight) but did with the CCA request. I received a pack which included a letter from Overdales, going over the defence I'd filed, as well as letters of Lowells and reprints of letters from Capital One. But I have no idea if this pack is in response to the CCA request or the CPR ! I would have expected two separate responses ... although I do know they are both the same company. Looking over the pack today, and looking through old emails .. I find some discrepancies in the Capital One default letters (notice of default and Claim of default). They are both dated *before* an email I have stating that a default can be avoided. The one single page of agreement sent (so not the full agreement) has a 16 digit number at the top in small print, next to 'Capital One' which corresponds to a number called 'PURN' printed at the top of each of the 10 pages of ins and outs of the account (they're not official statements, but a list of monthly goings) yet no mention anywhere on either of the account number. I cant really scan them at the moment - I can later tomorrow, but that will be after the mediation call I'm sure. I guess I may be on my own for this mediation ... I am not certain the CCA request has been satisfied .. or if the CPR has been . And then I appear to have evidence that the Default notices provided are fabricated ? Yet, I do have (elsewhere ... not at home) Default letters from Capital One I can check ..

    • 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.

Hello everyonre,

 

I have received 2 letters asking me for the driver -both saying I was doing up to 40 in a 30, both within 2 days of each other and both from the same camera.

 

what's strange is that the road they said i was on is one that i drive in to work on everyday - and have done for nearly a year- so i know it's a 30 and I know where the cameras are...I have never been over the limit before....I must have gone over it, but I really don't remember - and, I don't remember being flashed, either time!!

 

I am worried that, for some reason, I may receive some more - as I have been to work everyday last week - I am going on holiday next week, so won't be in the UK but I am really worried that I could get 12 points and, effectively, banned if I have any more.

 

I am going to write back saying i was the driver - and i guess it's just a

waiting game to see if I get anymore.

 

I've had my licence for 9 years and I have never had ANY points before.....I REALLY don't want to lose my licence.

 

Can anyone give me an idea what would/could happen?

Is there something missing here? More what?

 

Unless you already have points (which you say you havn't), the worse case senario is you would get 3 points per ticket.

He means more speeding FPNs for the same week I think Sailor Sam. If, for some reason, (eg his speedo malfunctioning or the camera mis-firing) then he may receive up to 5 of these fines and therefore would be banned under topping up for 5 x 3 points.

Once you've returned your details (don't forget you must do so within 28 days) you should receive a Conditional Offer of Fixed Penalty (i.e. 3 points and £60) in respect of each matter.

 

Shame you hadn't been a tad slower as at 39mph you may well have been offered a Speed Awareness Course for one of them (unless you live in Scotland where no such courses are currently available). It wouldn't have saved you any money - the cost of the course is much the same as the COFP and sometimes more - but has no points attached to it.

Yes, that's what I mean - I just really don't remember doing it, so God knows what's happened - like I said, I've been driving on the same road for nearly a year and I've never done it before!! lol

One was bang on 40, one was under 39.....I have no problem doing the course, I'd even happily pay more.

 

Am I entitled to ask for the calibration certificate and evidence the daily checks were completed?

 

If so, when should I ask for them? I just don't want to get banned.

At 30mph you will travel approx 44ft in 1 second. At 40mph the distance would be 58ft. It is not unheard of for speed cameras to produce an apparent speeding "offence" when a car was in fact travelling below the limit.

 

They should have sent you 2 photos showing that your car tavelled "x" distance (as shown by the white marks on the road) in "y" time. Given these 2 figures it is quite simple to varify your speed at the time.

 

I can't remember what distance the white lines are apart, but you can always go and measure them at that site, and the FPN should state the timing gap between the 2 photos.

Cheers Crem - I didn't get any photos, but they do say I can request them if I want to.

Should I send them back straight away, or wait to see if I get any others? I am going away on Monday you see, and don't know if it will look better if I send them straight back?

Also, will it be detrimental to my case if I do ask to see the photos now, or should I wait for their offer?

If you are going to write to request photographs then I suggest you keep the letter short and sweet - along the lines of:

 

Dear Sir

 

Re: NIP No. ZXZXZXZXZX Dated: XX/05/10

 

I refer to the above notice and ask that I be provided with any photographs that may assist me to identify the driver at the time of the offence.

 

Yours faithfully

 

un1boy

 

At this stage of the process you are not entitled to see any of the evidence they have and nor are the police under any obligation to provide the photos but generally do in reply to a reasonable request. I would not suggest expanding on the script above and specifically do not include the words "evidence" or "proof" as they will almost certainly trigger the shutters.

 

As for the calibration certificates they will serve little purpose. I would focus on getting the photos and doing as crem has suggested.

 

Don't forget that asking for the photos doesn't stop the clock as far as the 28 days you have to reply in.

Thanks Snowy.

I have had a look online at the Truvelo cameras, and I think it was one of those that got me; I remember seeing it flash on both days, but I thought it was the sun in the reflection of the lens.....to be honest I thought it was a tax-disc camera, not a speed camera.

I feel happier that I remember where it was, as I don't think it got me any other days of the week.

I am out of the UK from tomorrow until 9th June, so I will send the docs back when I return, just in case I have anymore....that way, I know where I stand.

Still can't believe it - I just hope I don't have any more.
