    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...

    • look on the bright side - it would allow Biden to do what he likes ...
    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its 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.

On or around 2003/04 I had an Egglink3.gif card. I couldn't keep up the repayments and they defaulted me in 2005. CapQuest became involved as the DCA. I have been paying CapQuest ever since.

 

This month I missed by payment due to hardship. I did not receive any threatening letters from CapQuest. The first letter I received was a Letter before action from them. In short, they are going to sue me for the full £6K balance.

 

Today, I have sent an UNSIGNED CCA to CapQuest with a £1 postal order. I have also, today, sent EGG a SIGNED Subject access request, with a £10 postal order. Both letters sent by registered post.

 

I have also, today, sent another letter to CapQuest telling them that I have now paid the missing payment for this month (I was 10 days' late) and that I hadn't received their earlier threateners. They must have fired them off asap and within a day or two of each other (!). I have said in that letter that I will continue my monthly repayments until they respond to the CCA referered to in the separate letter, in which I stated that my account is in dispute.

 

I would dearly ove to be able to pay them off but I can't afford to and, in truth, my present monthly repayments are too high anyway, albeit that I prefer to pay them to keep this **** off my back.

 

That's the story so far. I haven't got the original ToB or CCA agreement anymore, long gone. I also don't know if CapQuest own the debt now or if Egg still do.

Yes, thanks for these. The dispute letter is absolutely brilliant and I am looking forward to possibly sending this to them!

 

Another reputation point would be added out of sheer gratitude to you but the rules forbid it!

 

May I keep you updated on this thread?

No worries at all mate, we are both in a similar situation.

 

Thanks for the rep point whatever that is. :-)

 

I will reward you the same.

 

Just remember you cannot send the dispute one, until they miss the 12 day deadline. (after they receive it)

I did say I was disputing the account in the CCA letter (even headed it up Account In Dispute) but in all truth I think that will be irrelevant to the CCA request and I can send your excellent second dispute letter after 12 days. I have also emailed CapQuest a copy of my registered post letter.

 

Reference your own situation, surely there has to be a procedure whereby you can force the hand of the DCA to put up or shut up? Surely it can't drag on forever? Or at least 6 years...

With an unenforceable agreement, and you then putting the account in dispute, they should never bother you again. There would be no official closure until such point, they agree to discontinue, or the 6 years has passed.

 

Either way they will trash your files.

 

Do you have any unfair charges / late payment charges etc?

 

If so then claim them back, this will also reduce your total debt to them. To reclaim them back you would have to go to Egg and not CQ though. If you need help on that I can help you with that as well.

I sent Egg an SAR today. £10 post order with it.

 

 

That should show you any charges that they have charged once you get it back.

 

Then reclaim them. They would probably pay it to CQ though, if there are any charges that are reclaimed. But... Your balance owed would become lower.

That's bloomin' useful info mate. I'll let you know what the SAR comes back with and then ask how I go about claiming it back. I can add it to the F&F. From the sounds of it, a F&F can be in the hundreds not thousands...

Hi guys. I hope you're still around for comment.

 

CapQuest wrote 2 letters to me today. The first returning my £1 and stating that I must write to EGG for a copy of the original agreement.

 

The second letter cheekily said "This correspondence is our acknowledgment on the commitment you have made to this firm [CapQuest] to repay your account." This because I said I would keep up repayments until the account goes into dispute.

 

They then offer to accept 75% of the loan "with a special flag of partial settlement" on my credit file if I settle with them. This letter also threatens with legal action if I don't keep up my regular repayments.

 

So, presumably I now send Messrs EGG a CCA (I have already sent EGG an SAR).

 

But, does CapQuest have the right to sue me for the money? There is no NOA and EGG appear to still own the loan (when I 'phoned up EGG last week they said the account was in default and wouldn't give me any information).

If there is no NOA then CQ would be acting on Egg's behalf.

 

Send the CCA to Egg, and also the SAR - CQ if acting on behalf of Egg, cannot enforce any action as you have a legitimate request for a CCA in then.

 

Once you get the SAR from Egg, then hit them for the charges. CP are just being arsey by the looks of it, and they should have passed your CCA request onto Egg, instead of sending it you back.

Dude, as ever I am grateful for your assistance. I'll fire off a suitable riposte to CrapQuest, good sir. Will keep you in the loop.

 

I will send a CCA to Egg as well, double whammy.

 

SAR already sent to Egg.

GU51 2QQ Your Ref: XXXXXXX

BY RECORDED POST

Dear Sirs

Account No. XXXXXXXX

Further to your letters of XX June and XX June 2010 respectively.

Request for a True Copy of the Original Credit Agreement

Your letter of XX June 2010 refers. You are obliged to pass on my request for a true copy of the original agreement to your client, Egg Banking Plc. Your obligation arises under s.175 and s.189 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

I therefore ask that you pass on this request to Egg and I return specifically for this purpose:

1. My letter dated XX June 2010; and

2. My postal order in the sum of £1.00 in respect of the statutory fee.

Disputed Account

Your letter of XX June refers. I deny any commitment on my part to repay the above account, either to your firm or to your client, Egg Banking Plc. My correspondence to you of XX June 2010 was clear in that regard. Repayments will continue voluntarily “until” the issue of the disputed account has been dealt with.

On this basis, on receipt of a true copy of the original credit agreement I will decide if the account should be disputed. If it goes into dispute I will cease all repayments, as I am entitled to do in law.

Legal Action

You are unable to commence action while my request for a true copy of the original credit agreement is being dealt with. Further, if the account goes into dispute you are unable to commence action.

It is clear from your correspondence of XX June 2010 that there is no Notice of Assignment to your firm. You are unable to enforce any action without ownership of the debt and Egg must issue proceedings.

Yours faithfully,

Mozzone

Chalkster, good to hear from you. That post is informative and to be adapted for future use. I posted my letter already but can revert back to Egg / CapQuest on the "executed true copy of the original" issue next phase.

 

It seems to me that you are at a distinct advantage to many of us in your having retained the original agreements. That shows great foresight and organisation; I, for one, did not.

 

The deeper I get into this whole issue the muddier and less clear cut it all seems; the upshot seems to be whether the drafting of either the original or a reconstructed agreement is legally binding and that is a question of law that is beyond my personal expertise.

 

I await a copy of my own CCA with baited breath but fear that I may not receive consistent or accurate advice on it; and having broken my repayments and triggered a CCJ application for 'owt.

 

Perhaps I shouldn't worry so much...!

Hello Mozz1,

 

I try not to worry about all this but sometimes it does get me down. I really wish I was in a position to pay my cards off but alas circumstances have occurred that means I am at present on benefits and have no spare cash. The trouble is these DCA's and OC's will not understand this important point and keep sending letter after letter. (Most of their telephone calls I have managed to get stopped).

 

The really silly thing is they all know I was in a DMP with CCCS which has recently been stopped by CCCS after an income / expenditure annual check that showed I have no spare cash whatsoever left each month!! Plus they know I rent where I live!! I have no assets but they keep on and on writing to me demanding payment.

 

In a way I am a lucky one (if you can call it that) ....... they can not get anymore out of me by their devious, misleading and underhand tactics but I feel sorry for other Caggers who are running the "misinformed Judge" lottery when they go to court and have charging orders etc put on their properties in situations that are clearly wrong because there is no agreement or unenforceable etc etc.

 

Onwards and Upwards

Hi. Hope you guys are still around.

 

CapQuest have sent their second letter now saying they are not responsible for sending my CCA request onto Egg and they have returned my letter and my postal order again (that's twice now).

 

They also returned the letter in which I denied any commitment to pay them.

 

Its quite disgusting, but where now? Who do I complain to if they are, indeed, obliged to pass on this request? All they've said is "our client has requested you send your CCA request direct to them."

Hello Mozz1,

 

Here you go ..... http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/260964-dca-return-cca-payment.html

 

The link takes you to a thread dealing with RBS but same thing ..... CCA request and payment returned by DCA.

 

As Pinky69 says on that thread ...... They must provide you with a copy on request. It is for them to get the copy of the agreement from RBS .... CapQuest in your case ..... if they don't have one. The 12+2 days starts from when they received your first request then you can put the account in dispute. They will sell it in to another DCAlink3.gif and all you do then is send them the Account in Dispute letter too.

 

As you know (on my Egg thread) I sent DLC an in dispute letter after the 12+2 days was up and they have now said they will get the agreement from Egg. Complaint to OFT as well.

 

Onwards and Upwards

Complaint to OFT as well.

 

yo. how did you make the OFT complaint? I went on-line today and it looks like you have to complain to Consumer Direct instead. They only seem to deal with complaints by email. I wrote to both of them about the DCA's antics anyway. Also Trading Standards for Hampshire where the DCA are based. Ref the last mentioned, they too, seem to indicate on their website that everything needs to go thru Consumer Direct which seems to be regional. Which region? The one I live in or the one where the DCA is based? Makes sense for the former surely?

 

Anyways, I'll keep y'awl posted with what responses I get and also what happens when CrappyQuest don't get paid!

Hi Mozz,

These EGG boys are pretty tough like the point on a shell, you will see capquest off no problem they do not fight a 'dodgy cca'. When you get your sar back that should contain what they interpret as the agreement. Just to let you know that wont be the end of it as I personally have seen off three DCA's and now have another on the case who is by far the worst.

However until PT's high court case is decided on the enforcement of EGG's own interpretation of a cca then I aint giving them a penny.

Prepare yourself and follow PT's thread which should steer you in the right direction
