    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        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. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   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. 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.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 recently received a letter, out of the blue, from Horwich Farrelly acting on behalf of Robinson Way about an alleged debt from over 5 years ago to Capital One. I am resident in Scotland and therefore, as far as I am aware, subject to Scottish, not English, law.

 

I have had no contact whatsoever with Capital One, or anyone acting on their behalf, for over 5 years.

 

I responded to their letter informing them that as I had not acknowledged the alleged debt within the 5 year period any liabilty was now extinguished as per The Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973.

 

I have now received another letter from Horwich Farrelly. I can upload a scan it if it helps. I've copied the content of the letter below (edited for personal info)

 

 

 

 

Our ref:*********

 

** July 2010

 

Dear sirs

 

Our Client - Robinson Way Limited (assignees of Capital One)

Balance outsanding - £*******

 

We act for Robinson Way Limited.

 

We have received a copy of your email dated ** **** 2010 received via their website (copy enclosed). (No copy was enclosed)

 

You state that you have not acknowledged the debt within 5 years and you claim it is statute barred under the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973.

 

Your assumption that our client is prevented from pursuing this debt is incorrect.

 

The terms and conditions of the agreement between yourself and Capital one, which our client took assignment of in 200*, states the law governing the agreement, is the law of England.

 

Our client is quite entitled to raise an action in the Courts in England against you claiming the outstanding balance of £*******. The Limitation Act 1980 sets out the rules on how long our client has to take action against you for this debt.

 

The limitation period in England is 6 years. The limitation period commences at the time the cause of action arose. The limitation period starts to run from the earliest time that the legal proceedings could first have been brought. This period began after you made your last payment on ** ***** 2005. Our client has until 2011 to issue proceedings.

 

We look forward to hearing from you with your proposals for settlement within 7 days.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Horwich Farrelly

 

 

 

What planet do these people inhabit?

 

I have no clue what to do now.

 

Can they do this?

 

I really need some advice now.

 

Should I report them to some authority or something because I was under the impression that it was unfair to pursue someone for an alleged debt that was extinguished and also unfair to threaten court action outside the resident juristiction.

Dear *******

 

Thank you for your email dated xx/xx/xx.

 

 

Irrespective of any terms and conditions that may or may not be in existince, as a Scottish resident and as a consumer, any Court proceedings issued from and English court will be challenged due to Jurisdiction and as I am a resident of Scotland the Prescription and Limitation (Scotland) Act 1973 does apply in this case.

 

Please also note that if any proceedings are to be actioned then I reserve the right to notify the court that you have already been advised of the above prior to any proceedings being raised.

 

As you have confirmed that there has been no knowledgement or contact regarding the alleged debt in over 5 years I refer you back to my original email.

 

Any further contact from yourselves or any associated company on the above alleged debt will leave mo no option to make a formal complaint to the OFT and trading standards.
