    • why waste money on scammers? all you need in law is to prove something was sent. use a 2nd class stamp and get free proof of posting from any po counter. dx  
    • Tracked is NOT necessary. 1st or 2nd class will suffice. Just make sure you obtain free proof of posting and KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE...
    • 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: _____________________

    • 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.

Hi there everyone!! This is my first post so please bear with me. Just come back off holiday (from relatives and paid for mostly by them!) to find a letter from Northampton County Court - form N1CPC Claim Form:!:. Claim is being made by MBNA and they're represented by Optima Legal Services. I am currently on a DMP and have been for a while with PAYPLAN. I have not contacted them yet on this matter. The particulars of the claim are as follows:

  1. The Claimant's claim is in respect of a credit agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974,made between the Claimant and the Defendant,whereby the Claimant provided the Defendant with a credit card and in return the Defendant agreed to pay at least the minimum monthly payment requsted in each statement.
  2. the Defendant failed to minimum payments,as required,and is therefore in breach of the said agreement.
  3. a default notice was served on the Defedant which expired on **/11/2010 and the Defendant has failed to comply with the terms therein.A further demand for payment has been made however the sum remains outstanding.The Claimants claim is therefore the principal sum inclusive of accrued interest which as at stands at £**,***.**p plus costs:jaw:.
  4. the Claimant has complied with Sections III and IV of the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Conduct.

The form has been signed by Optima - well its actuall just been printed 'OPTIMA LEGAL SERVICES LTD'.

 

 

I have three forms to fill in withn 28 days of the letter. the forms are:

  • N9CPC - Response Pack;
  • N9A(CPC) - Admission;
  • N9B(CPC) - Defence and Counterclaim.

I'm sure Paylplan will ask me just to fill in the forms and send.

Is there anything I should do prior or along side this? I have also saved up a couple grand which I was going to use to replace my boiler which is going to die very soon! I have to put this on the Admissions form.I would be grateful for any help :-). If there is any other info required let me know. I have a few creditiors on my DMP (speading a debt across interest free cards- was a good idea at the time) but MBNA have by far excelled themselves as the worst!!!:x:x:-x:-x Not getting any hassle from anyone else!!:shock::shock:

 

Thanks:wink:

Hello Van Der Hans

 

A warm welcome to CAG.

 

Firstly, you need to file the Acknowledgement of Service (AOS) back to Northampton asap, stating whether you are going to contest the claim or admit to it.

 

What happened with the DMP as far as your payments to MBNA are concerned?

 

Kind Regards

Hi, "The Mould"!

 

I guess I'm going to have to admit the claim unless there is anything else I can do:ohwell:.The date of service is 26th December so i've really got to send a response ASAP. My DMP is still contiuning with my other creditors. Last offer was rejected by MBNA in December. This was

probably because I had to reduce my DMP payment as when I remortgaged in November (no choice as my deal had expired and my reduced payment plan with lender was up) my repayments inevitably went up. Really annoyed with MBNA :mad: as the only payment plan they ever offered was impossible as they were aware of other debts I had and aware of my I&E.They offered to clear the debt by taking a percentage off the whole amount and paying it off with a lump sum but I just didn't have that kind of money plus also it would've been unfair on my other creditors.They also whacked on loads of interest whilst I was trying to get DMP set up and whilst I was making token payments - that really helped - NOT!!!

 

Thanks for any help and advice - it is much appreciated

 

Best Regards,

It sounds like you have acted reasonably with your creditors by entering into an arrangment with PayPlan. MBNA want to improve their lot over your other creditors by going for a CCJ and then no doubt a Charging Order over your house to 'secure' the debt and thereby gaining an advantage over your other creditors.

 

OK, MBNA are perfectly entitled to bring a claim against you but in doing so comes the risk to them that they have to prove their claim. For your part, you are also perfectly entitiled to defend the claim and require MBNA to prove their claim. In the process, there can be 'mediation' to settle the claim without a court hearing. As you seem to be acting reasonably, so there is nothing to loose by having a mediator become involved as the case progresses.

 

First stage for you is, as The Mould suggests, is to acknowledge service, preferably online. That will give you a further 14 days to gather your thoughts about a defence. In the meantime, you should also ask MBNA for a copy of the credit agreement and also the default notice. You can do so using the Court rules (Civil Procedure Rules or CPR) which can be found at the Ministry of Justice website [ www.justice.gov.uk]. The rule asking for documents is at CPR 31.14 and there are also template lettters on this site to get you started if you need one.

 

I wouldn't mention the sum you have saved at this stage and certainly nothing about you boiler.

 

Let us know what response you get from MBNA but in any event, post an update before the 4th week in January as you will need to file a defence by the end of January.

Arrow Global/MBNA - Discontinued and paid costs

HFO/Morgan Stanley (Barclays) - Discontinued and paid costs

HSBC - Discontinued and paid costs

Nationwide - Ran for cover of stay pending OFT case 3 yrs ago

RBS/Mint - Nothing for 4 yrs after S78 request

Hello again Van

 

How much did you need to reduce your payment by to MBNA?

 

Docman has given you sound sound advice, CPR 31.14 request any documents from the claimant that are mentioned in his Particulars of Claim (POC's).

 

Kind Regards

Hi Docman and The Mould. Unfortunately I was unable to get on my computer till late and so read your advice too late. Payplan called me when I was out and told me to admit the claim and fill out a few sections - basically some personal info - and send all the paperwokr to them so they can fill out the rest. Guess I panicked. I feel I though I may have made a mess of things now having read your advice:doh:. Is it worth still asking for the info? BTW, the payment was reduced by around £40.

 

thanks again guys,

 

regards, Van Der Hans

Latest news is as follows:

I didn't hear anything back from the court after I sent back all the relevant forms. Then out of the blue I get a letter from Optima saying I was supposed to start paying £***.**p a month ago!! And this figure was actually over £500 more than I could afford!!! Contacted Optima and they said that this figure was set by the court.I phoned them, and they couldn't tell me why.I told them I couldn't afford it , after initially being asked why I couldn't pay the set amount, and was told I had to send in my figures again with another form at a cost of £35 to me!!! What a joke!! Heard nothing yet and that was 3 weeks ago!! I think I will ask for my credit agreement from these bullies as their track record isn't great in this department.I certainly wasn't given a copy.

Bye for now!!

Just received a letter from Optima and enclosed is an application for a Charging Order. I've decided to send a CCA request as I don't remember signing anything originally. I'm going to pay the £1 by postal order but I don't know whether to put the payee as Optima or MBNA. Is it too late for me to even think of sending this? They've given me a court date for the second week in May. I am at my lowest point. Wife and kid to support. This is major stress.:sad:

Hi Docman. As youcan see from my threads, I decided to ask for the CCA.I have not received any corespondance yet so am drafting my next letter regarding "failure to provide a copy of an agreement". However:-o, I then read a reply by Tingy to a post from this from the thread "Cabot financial, what is my next step?" by Helenw1

Which route do I follow!??:???: If I don't hear back in the next couple days I will follow the normal route. Thanks.:-)

Just one more thing. Is there anything I need to change in the letter as I am sending it to Debt Clear Recoveries... and not MBNA?

 

Cheers.

Hi.

Had my court hearing yesterday which seemed like a complete waste of time to some degree.

 

I was there for a redetermination, the judge didn't want to and wasn't interested in anything other than that.

 

He questioned why an offer made by Payplan was so low and I replied it was due to my mortgage going up, therefore my disposable income had gone down.

 

I also said that my circumstances had changed recently which has enabled me to increase my payments to all my creditors and that I could offer MBNA the judge had non suggested.

 

He asked why I hadn't contacted them about this and I said that they were well aware as all my creditors are updated with a new I&E when threr are changes in my circumstances.

 

Also mentioned that MBNA have never formally accepted any plan put forward so looks like they were gunning for this all along.

 

the judge wasn't interested and when I suggested that I could set this new payment up through my DMP with Payplan he said " we are here for redetermination and that is what I will do". Cheers.

 

Is there any way I can appeal against this and under what grounds could I do this?

 

I was annoyed that MBNA said I was in arrears. WHAT!!!!!

 

The amount they put forward, and accepted by the judge in Northamtpon before it was moved to my local court, was actually higher than my total disposable income so how that was accepted I never know.

Plus I never knew anything of it until I got a letter frm OPTIMA asking why I hadn't made any payments!!!!!

 

Also I haven't yet received anything in relation to my CCA request from DEBT CLEAR RECOVERIES and SOLUTIONS, to whom the debt was passed on to.

 

My payments have been going to Optima through PAYPLAN.

 

Spoke to an annoying woman at DCRS and she said my debt has been passed back to MBNA ages ago and that they haven't received any correspondance regarding the CCA and that I would have to contact MBNA.

 

Is telly telling me porkies?!!

Aren't they supposed to forward the CCA request to MBNA?

I sent it recorded delivery 1st class (end april)

and also the 'failure to respond' (beginning May).

 

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LATEST UPDATE!!!

 

Contacted DCRI recently (apologies I accidently put DCRS - Investigations not Solutions, Doh!). As mentioned previously, they had no record, allegedly, of my recent correspondance. However, I checked the tracking and not only have they received the CCA request, but have also CASHED the postal order 6 days befor I sent a letter of 'Failure to Respond'. It'll be 21 days tomorrow (26th) since I sent the second letter. What do I do now? HELP!!!:sad:

Hi there. Yes pretty much. Basically increased pament to MBNA by adjusting what I owe to all my creditors so only paying out of disposable income. I suggested an amount but he went a little higher. Just means other creditors will get a little less. i have asked PAYPlan to make sure that the disposable income is distributed in proportion to the debt so whoever I owe the most gets the most, etc. Couldn't get an explanation from Northampton Court as to why a payment to MBNA was decided that was higher than my total disposable income.

Really need some help here. Have had no reply to the second letter - "failure respond to initial cca request". Its been almost 30 days. Can someone please recommend a thread i can follow or my next step? Would be massively appreciated.

 

Good morning Van Der Hans

 

As you admitted the debt and Judgment was awarded against you, the claimant obviously feels that he does not need to comply with your request.

 

What do you intend to do if you are supplied with a copy of the agreement? Is it your intention to challenge the Judgement?

 

Kind regards

 

The Mould

Hi The Mould,

 

Yeah, unfortunately I did admit the debt, unknowingly I guess, following the advice of Payplan. However, surely if I don't receive the CCA or if I do get one and its flawed, surely I can challenge the judgement? Also, I know that DEBT CLEAR RECOVERIES have received my requests and cashed the Postal Order (written confirmed by Royal mail). Surely this is a breach in itself? The other thing is that the balances that were stated in leters in the months of harrassment from MBNA

were always incorrect whether it be a few pence or many pounds. Unfortunately, the judge wasn't interested in any of my paperwork. I'm still reeling at the fact that I have to pay the court costs for the Redetermination when MBNA knew how much disposable cash I had. I could never pay what the asked initially at the courts and the stupid judge had all the numbers from Payplan. So much for impartiality!!! Should I write another letter to Debt Clear Recoveries or should I just phone them and record their lies!!! (I'll let them know the call is being recorded for traing purposes!!)

 

Thanks again,

Van Der Hans

latest news !! phoned DCRI Ltd and asked again about my CCA requests. He, Mr Wilkinson, knew nothing of it and said that it would've been passed on to Optima as the account was back with MBNA. I said then that they had received it but then then he said he didn't know. But I said that it would only have been pased on to them if the letter had been opened!! He had no answer. i also questiones him about cashing the postal order and he said that all monies are banked. I asked why the money had been banked and said MBNA probably did. This guy was an idiot. Should I contact OPTIMA to see if they have my request? The are legally required to do so aren't they?:???: ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APRECIATED!!!!!! H E L P !

Im not sure where you can go with this now Vans.. As it stands you admitted the debt and the rest is as it is... Regards the request im sure they are legally obliged to supply it but as said in an earlier post they wont feel the need to supply it as you have already admitted there claim !

 

Im no expert and i may be totally wrong, it was to late for me as this happened when NR took me too court but i then found this place and have fought all other claims thrown at me...

 

Sorry i can not be of any legal help
