    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business CEntre Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio i Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue –  15 Feb 2024 Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?  The claim is for the sum of £922 due by the Defendant under and agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a Capital One account with an account reference of [number with 16 digits] The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit ACt 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 16-06-23, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of the issue of these proceedings in the sum of £49.15 The Claimant claims the sum of £972 What is the total value of the claim? £1112 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I dont know the details of the PAPDC to know if it was pursuant to paragraph 3, but I did receive a Letter of Claim with a questionaire/form to fill. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? no Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Assigned/purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I was aware, I'm not certain I received a 'Notice of Assignment' from Capital One but may have been informed the account had been sold without such a title on the letter? Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not since the debt purchase, and not from Capital One. Why did you cease payments? I can't remember - it was the tail end of the pandemic and I may not have had enough income to keep up payments - I am self-employed and work in the event industry - at that time. I also had a bank account that didn't allow direct debits and may have just forgotten payments and became annoyed at fines for late payments. What was the date of your last payment? Appears to be 20/4/2022 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No Here is my Defence: Defence - 1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had an agreement with Capital One but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unaware of having been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) 5. The Defendant has sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request. 6. A further request has been made via CPR 31.14 to the Claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The Claimant has not complied and to date nothing has been received. 7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and; b) show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed for and; c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 CCA1974 d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim 8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed 9. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of section 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief. .................. Please note that I had to write a defence quite quickly as I hit the deadline. At the time of writing the defence, I hadn't been able to find correspondence from Capital One, but had since found default letter etc. I submitted CCA request and CPR 31.14. However, I didn't get any proof of postage or use registered post for the CPR (an oversight) but did with the CCA request. I received a pack which included a letter from Overdales, going over the defence I'd filed, as well as letters of Lowells and reprints of letters from Capital One. But I have no idea if this pack is in response to the CCA request or the CPR ! I would have expected two separate responses ... although I do know they are both the same company. Looking over the pack today, and looking through old emails .. I find some discrepancies in the Capital One default letters (notice of default and Claim of default). They are both dated *before* an email I have stating that a default can be avoided. The one single page of agreement sent (so not the full agreement) has a 16 digit number at the top in small print, next to 'Capital One' which corresponds to a number called 'PURN' printed at the top of each of the 10 pages of ins and outs of the account (they're not official statements, but a list of monthly goings) yet no mention anywhere on either of the account number. I cant really scan them at the moment - I can later tomorrow, but that will be after the mediation call I'm sure. I guess I may be on my own for this mediation ... I am not certain the CCA request has been satisfied .. or if the CPR has been . And then I appear to have evidence that the Default notices provided are fabricated ? Yet, I do have (elsewhere ... not at home) Default letters from Capital One I can check ..

    • 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'm in the same boat. Old debt from 1998, Barclaycard. I haven't paid anything in more than 6 years. Been hounded by Capquest and they have also tried to find out about me from neighbours, who now don't talk to me.

The latest letter from Capquest states that a Statutory Demand will be issued on 12th Feb.

Do I need to send the Statutory Barred letter or CCA letter first ?

 

They say I owe £2500

 

My situation.

I rent, have virtually no assets apart from a cheap car. My work has recently dried up. I am single.

 

I have therefore given up my rented flat, and I move out before 12th Feb. I intend to move overseas permanently. The flat owner already has another tenant to move in mid Feb.

 

Therefore, should I still send these letters as if they proceed they won't have an address to serve me.

 

Thanks for your help

 

Tom

 

if you are certain you have neither paid nor admitted the debt in writing for over 6 yrs AND you want to "wupp their Ass" then wait until they issue the SD (which they wont) then put the SD defence in and it will have cost them a few bob

Firstly Thomas.....can you possibly start a new thread outlining your situation please ?

 

As for your defence annoyed again, then I suggest you have a look through this and edit it as required, make sure you fill out the documents correctly, and you will need to get them sworn in at your local court (bearing in mind that not all courts handle bankruptcies and insolvency) Make sure the court named on the stat demand is indeed your local one, and check that the court named also handle bankruptcies - you can check on this page - (scroll down once you arrive there) - http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/HMCSCourtFinder/

 

Also do you still have a copy of the old demand they sent you ? if so then you might also like to show the judge this as it is a complete and utter abuse of the insolvency service....!!

Have a look at this thread - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?263089-CapQuest-Letter-Statutory-demand-under-insolvency-act-***-WON-*** you will need to edit it though to suit your own circumstances....

 

If you still have the old stat demands then let me know and I can incorporate some additional stuff in your defence...

 

As for the 3 phone calls which failed to get any kind of response then you might also like to quote this. (although this could be up to a judge to decide whether this is valid)

 

A statutory demand must show a named person or persons from the Creditor or their agent/solicitor whom you can contact directly. This is Rule 6.2 of The insolvency Rules 1986 - the defendant has attempted on 3 occasions to contact the person named on the demand but has been refused access to communicate with the person - I believe that the named person does not exist and that this is an abuse of the process.

I would also URGE you to report their sending you statutory demands to the Office Of Fair Trading...another debt collection agency did this and received a warning from the OFT. Effectively ALL debt collection agencies MUST comply by other warnings, Capquest have completely failed to comply with this - you can read it here - http://www.oft.gov.uk/news-and-updates/press/2009/20-09 . They are also effectively in breach of CPUTR2008 too....you might also like to copy the OFT piece and show it to the judge !!!

If you also want to quote from CPUTR then you can but it takes a bit of reading and understanding....

 

Basically Capquest are members of the CSA - (Credit Services Association) which means they have to abide by the CSA code of conduct....

 

In their code of conduct it clearly states...

 

Section 1 - General Conduct

 

c) Comply with this Code of Practice and

follow any guidance notes issued by the

Board of the Association.

d) Comply with Debt Collection Guidance as

Published by the Office of Fair Trading

from time to time.

 

CPUTR2008 clearly states -

Prohibition of the promotion of unfair commercial practices

 

4. The promotion of any unfair commercial practice by a code owner in a code of conduct is prohibited.

Regulation 4 -

 

If you stack the decision on 1st Credit against what Capquest are doing then it means they have broken their code of conduct which the CSA have laid out above by not complying with the OFT decisions taken against 1st Credit......(are you with me still ??) lol....

You can also add to your defence.

 

The defendant also received a statutory demand in the post in/on (date/year) The alleged creditor has not 'served' anything on me, but simply posted multiple demands by first class - I believe that this is a frivolous attempt at scaring me into paying and therefore an abuse of the process.

 

I refer to:

 

Judge Boggis QC - RE AWAN - [2000] BPIR 241

 

'In my judgment, bankruptcy is one of the most serious forms of execution that can be brought against a debtor. In any bankruptcy proceedings it is, in my view, absolutely clear that the provisions as to service must be followed exactly. - JUDGE BOGGIS QC - SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT

What would happen now if i did not reply to the SD?

 

I mean to me the CCA (see first post) looks like a cut and paste with it having different addresses so capquest cannot come up with and enforceable cca so how can they take it any further?

My account with MBNA was in dispute due to the doubts i have over the CCA , if i cant trust them to produce a cca without resorting to doctoring one how could i trust anything they put in statements?

I have now CCA'ed capquest and im sure they will come up with nothing or another photocopy of mbna's attempts so the account will also be in dispute with them, should i use that on my defence?

If you didn't reply to the demand then they could attempt personal service on you....

 

which will get them into trouble also- since they are supposed to do this (including serving you at your place of work if they are aware of it) BEFORE they resort to service by post!
