    • 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.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again 
    • Gosh mate I've woke up this morning with half the worry I had last night when going to sleep!.  I can't believe how much this forum has helped me over the years and I don't  have the words to explain the gratitude I feel towards you guys -  Now that I've slept on it I feel ready to reject this company and my plan is to make them an offer to accept payments to date as full and final settlement - I will I think write them a letter once my review is completed or maybe just send it now whilst they are reviewing explaining my kids are unwell for which reason I'm struggling to survive and if I can politely request for them to accept payment to date as a full and final - I'll mention I don't have any cash or anyone to borrow from to offer a full or even part amount of the remaining balance of the iva and therfore am unable to make a offer of payment.   If they agree to at least even put my offer to the creditors then I feel it's better I hang in there and that way I won't have to deal with any possibilities of more defaults and ccjs    Right now the only adverse effects on my credit report are the iva that is now 3 years old and 2 Ccj one coming of this July and one thus October.    But I am worried new action will begin and new defaults and Ccj may start to appear because I've paying into an agreement im under the impression the 6 year rules starts again so yes I have lost of mixed feelings about this but I'm not going to lie you guys have put some life back into my breath this week as for the last 3 years I've felt caged like an animal and this morning I feel freer I can't explain how much but certainly my soul feel lighter today thanks to yin because I'm now viewing this review totally different to I do yesterday thanks to you guys

    • 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 could just about read the image. It appears that there was an account problem between December 06 and March 07. For whatever reason T-Mobile had not closed down your phone properly and you were still able to use it up to the date it was terminated. In March 07 you paid the relevant amount that was due, but then incurred more call charges after this date during your trip to Trinidad.

 

You need to check for sure when your last date of payment was. Did you make any payment to Lowells during 2007, which you have forgotten about ?

We could do with some help from you.

I think you should be taking up a complaint with T-Mobile. According to your linked document they were sending you a final bill. Ask for a copy of this. The default will be the 30 days or whatever time period, in which you failed to make payment. The default should be end of January 07 at the latest. T-Mobile will be able to confirm.

Forget the events in 2006 as I had 2 lines and I canceled one of them end of 2006, the 2007 are for my 2nd line which I had at that time! last payment was March 2007 and I never paid Lowell so I take it as the default date should be from the date I missed the payment due which is April 2007... am i correct? but Lowell didn't default me until December 2007! more than 6 months from the date!

Ok, This letter goes to the Data Controller at TMobile send by recorded delivery and check receipt.

Please enclose a copy of any screen prints of your credit files with the letter a copy can be sent to Lowell as well.

 

Ref: account number. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

FORMAL COMPLAINT.

 

Sir,

 

I have for some considerable time been attempting to resolve the reporting of this account on credit reference files held by xxxxxx and xxxxxx credit refence agencies as a defaulted account, it was agreed on xx xx xxxx that all disputed entries would be removed from my credit files.

 

having accomplished this I rechecked my credit files to find that the entries had been replaced. as you are aware the Lowell Group of debt collection agencies were involved with this account and it is unclear which company replaced the entries, you must also be aware that this account is now statute barred so any such entries are pointless.

 

Such derogatory information being published by credit reference agencies is of course affecting my ability to obtain credit a situation that I hold T Mobile totally responsible for, enclosed are copies of the credit reference file entries.

 

I now require T Mobile to remove ALL adverse data from ALL credit reference agency files with immediate effect and you will confirm compliance with this instruction inwritting.

 

I have been advised that T Mobile should consider making financial redress for the stress, time and work expended in trying to correct your companys errors, this should also include a sum for the publication of the adverse data and the effects on my credit profile.

 

I am preparing a report for the Information commissioners office and will delay this so that I may include your response to my complaint.

 

Now I hope I've got the above right, so please let me know if it needs amending.

 

Brig.

no it wasnt

 

it was the OC [t mobile]

 

lowlifes name would have been put against the default when they brought it.

 

IMHO i would do NOTHING

 

this will be SB's in april [6yrs from last payment]

 

if you take the default date [dec 07]

on its 6th birthday the account will vanish from your CRA file.

 

forget it.

in the time scale available you can do very little.

 

the ONLY way would be to offer payment on the strict condition the CRA file is marked as SETLLED [not partial settlement]

and ALL neg data is removed.

 

IMHO thats a waste of money..you dont owe anything.

 

your 'other' credit stuff will be rebuilding your rating and will go up when this debt drops off is dec or p'haps earlier.

No I have no intention to even paying them a penny! lool But Come April 2013 I want to argue with Lowell that the default date is wrong and that it should be April 2013 NOT December 2013!! so then they ll remove it I hope..... or isit T-mobile that I have to complain to?

as said before

i would suspect it was t-mobile.

 

dca's dont usually default debts if they buy them on a phishing list.

 

when its sold, the new owners name is substituted wherever the original owners was.

 

so thus the default shows as lowlife but it was t-mobile that did it.

 

there is an outside chance it was the automatic system on the cra computer

 

once a debt has been reported with a marker [say for late payment]

once over 6 mts, it auto goes to 8 or D = default.

 

the only clear way to tell is by sending an SAR to the OC.

Agai DX is right T Mobile will have defaulted the account no Lowell so any challenge to the default date will have to go to T Mobile.

As DX also said earlier 1 default will probably not prevent you getting a CC BUT mortgage lenders at what ever level in the market are looking at longer credit histories often 5 years + and good to excellent credit management 3-4 years is the average time to build an acceptable credit profile.
