    • I've given it a try, I expect alot of work required so will give my eyes and brain a rest as I'm getting word blind.. and I'll come back later following your initial bashings Thanks 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. 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 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. 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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. 4. The Claimant claims a Notice of Assignment was served on the 22/02/2022. This is denied. 5. The Claimant claims a Default Notice was served on the defendant. This is denied. 6. 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. 7. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. 8. Point 3 is noted and denied. 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. 9. Point 5 is noted and disputed. 10. 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. 11. Point 11 is noted and disputed. 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. 12. 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 *** (dates are wrong) 13. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 14. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. Conclusion 15. 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. 16. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 17. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter into settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter into 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • eh?...no you are simply telling them you have moved...
    • I agree with you. You and the company are separate legal entities so the company property that you damaged is third party property as far as you are concerned..  Get the company to write to you holding you formally responsible for the damage to their fence with the quotations for the repair. Send it by post (proof of posting) to Prima and ask them to confirm they will deal with the the third party directly. Best that someone other than you writes on behalf of the company! I suspect this is simply lack of knowledge by staff on customer service desks who don't understand the concept of companies and their shareholders being separate legal entities. If Prima still make difficulties use their formal complaints system until either they agree to cover the TP claim or issue a deadlock letter. You can then go the FCA.

    • 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.

Just issued a claim via Moneyclaim.com against the Halifax Plc for £854.40 and now I'm starting my quest to have £577.55 of illegal charges reimbursed from the RBS.

 

I have prepared my Preliminary Letter and will be sending it off first thing tomorrow morning (recorded delivery) to the RBoS Senior Customer Relations Manager, FREEPOST, P.O.Box 1727, Edinburgh, EH12 9JN.

 

I'll keep you informed.

 

Steve.

Steve,

 

any reason whay you are going straight to Edinboro and not via your Branch? I would suggest that you will get the standard Fig Off letters from them without consideration. Maybe going through your Branch, may be a little more long winded but you will be allocated a case number more quickly and may be offered an early goodwill gesture to bouy up your claim.

 

Worth a quick think I would suggest, also it gives you reason to begine MCOL proceedings against an English address (MCOL not relevant North of Border!!).

Steve,

 

if you can get a name at the Branch (probably the asst Manager) who is dealing with your requests, then you will get swifter responses, provided they reply in the first place of course. They will escalate your case to Head Office as required, but deal locally if you can. You may then be able to hand deliver your letters and get a delivery receipt and have the wonderful feeling of seeing the look on the Bank Staffs faces when they read your request. But please remember that the Staff are human also, so keep it real and don't take your frustrations out on them. Use the CAG for that!!! Ha HA! I found that the Staff can be sympathetic to your cause, they may not be able to do much about it as they now seem hamstrung by red tape, but if you are not claiming serious amounts, then they may broker a deal with you at their level.

 

Oh, I used the Branch fax machine as well to ensure delivery (my Branch is 100 miles away from my home) and a follow-up "have you got it?" phonecall.

 

Bon Chance Rodders!

I've just posted my Prelim via recorded delivery (didn't want to make any personal appearances at the branch as I get on quite well with the staff there - I'll leave those 'til later, depending on the response I get).

 

The only grief I have about the RBS are the charges they apply (obviously!). Other than that I quite like the RBS and the staff that work in my branch. I've been keeping my accounts pretty much up to date over the last 12 months and if I do occassionally fall by the wayside they tend to phone me up at work to let me know. As long as I submit some money to the account to cover the debit by 3pm that day, I'm not subjected to any charges.

 

Not every bank operates like that, so I'll be sorry to have the account closed if my claim is successful.

 

Regards,

 

Steve.

I received a reply from my local RBS branch manager today informing me that he has ordered duplicate statements for my account dating back to December 2000 in order to investigate the matter fully. He has promised to contact me again on or before Thursday 21st September, either with a full response, or to let me know what progress he has made.

 

My LBA should be arriving on his desk at the same time!

BLOODY CHEEKY SWINE! :mad:

Re. My last post.

 

Not only did my local branch manager order duplicate statements (for his benefit, not mine!), I looked at my account on-line today to see that the 'so and so' has applied a £5.00 charge to my account for the privilege!!

 

I phoned up the branch to tell them I was very annoyed about this and would not pay it, and was told to write to him personally!

 

One very strongly worded letter coming up.....!

 

Steve.

Following on from my last post, RBS reversed the charge that was applied to my account for the duplicate statements the very next day. I didn't need to write that letter.

 

Today, I received a letter from the local branch manager to say, in short, that they deemed the charges as fair and they will not be refunding any of the charges applied to my account.

 

My LBA will be on it's merry way to him tomorrow. That'll be a nice start to his week on Monday! :rolleyes:

Steve,

 

sounds like the standard letter, you will be passed on to Tommy Mclean soon for another preprinted letter. I'd start getting your ducks in line for the MCOL if I were you. You can start the MCOL and save it ready to go back to and just press the GO! button as your deadline passes!!

Well, I have not had a letter from Tommy Mclean, or from anyone else for that matter, in response to my LBA. So, the next step is MCOL.

 

Question. I previously sent my Preliminary Letter and LBA to my local branch manager. Who should I address the MCOL to? My branch manager or id there a head office address?

 

Thanks.

Easiest way is to address it to the Branch, that way it stays in England and they can't try and delay any more than they normally do!!

Thanks BC,

 

I submitted the claim on 4th October before I read your response to my previous post. I addressed it to the Litigation Group at 1 Princes Street, London.

 

It was acknowledged by RBS on 10th October.
