    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. 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 written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s 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. 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. 4. Point 3 is noted. 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. 5. 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. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. 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 *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. 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. 11. 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 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter 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. 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 it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

Advice please. I have received county court summons for eviction under ground 8 .... I need help with paperwork.

 

1. On the front of POC it states rent is £575 per month payable each month. Then it states any unpaid rent or charge for use and occupation should be calculated at £18.90 per day (whats this?).

 

2. They have attached a rent statement which shows no payment made in September, however I did pay by cheque and have statement to show this .... tried speaking to landlord and he just states to contact his solicitor.

 

3. The letter his solicitor sent states the are applying to court under section 8 and section 21 ... however all the attaching documents only refer to section 8.

 

4. My rent is paid two months in advance but they dont seem to allow for this on the arrears.

 

5. My landlord on two occassions turned up at the front door without giving me 24 hrs notice ... can I counterclaim for this or do I need more evidence.

 

Any help gratefully received.

LL turning up at your (his) door without Notice is not illegal, entering or using threatening behaviour poss is.

 

I guess the £18.90 / day is the amount they will claim for each day you stay beyond the Notice period.

 

LL is unlikely to win repossession unless rent due exceeds at least 8 weeks before initiating Court action. Post up dates paid & amounts due/paid for each month and give start date of T and fixed period.

 

If you don't turn up at Court it will be a slam dunk for LL and you will have a CCJ against your name, if you turn up Judge may allow you to stay, at least for a couple of weeks

If rent is payable monthly, then a minimum 2 months rent must be unpaid at the date of the hearing. This does not mean in arrears, it means simply unpaid as per the contract. Therefore, if you missed a payment that was due on say, 1st of Jan, then missed your 1st of Feb payment, 2 months is unpaid as of the 2nd of Feb.

If you have proof to show that you do not have 2 months rent unpaid, you should submit this in your defence, the papers you were sent should detail how to go about this. If you are unsure, you can ask the court, or Shelter/CAB will be happy to assist.

 

You say that the paperwork mentions a section 8 notice and a section 21, did you ever receive a section 21 notice (also known as a notice of intention to seek possession)?

It seems as though your landlord is keen to get you out, if not for rent unpaid, then through the section 21 route, which requires no reason to evict. Therefore it may be wise to seek alternative accommodation, you will still have to give your landlord the proper one months notice to expire at the end of a rental period, and probably still have to attend court so as to avoid a CCJ.

 

Just to confirm your current tenancy status, can you let me know:

 

When did you tenancy begin?

How long was the fixed term?

Did you pay a deposit, and is this protected?

Did you have any other warning of eviction before these papers arriving?

Thanks for the replies. My tenancy began on the 9 March 2009 - 6 month AST. I paid no deposit just two months rent in advance. The landlord turned up at the door with no notice on the night of thursday 6 January 2011 stating my rent was due on the Sunday the 9th and he wanted me to include the arrears with the payment or else he was going to start eviction proceedings, he told me there was 2 months arrears making it 3 months due on the Sunday. On the Saturday the 8th I received notification (recorded delivery) from an internet based company with a covering letter saying that the landlord would be applying to court under section 8 (the notice stated 3 months rent due) and also under section 21, however no paperwork received for section 21.

 

I have now just received the court paperwork, in the LL particulars he claims that I made no rent payments in April, July, September and October .... I did miss payment in July and October. I cant find proof I paid in April because the bank statements have been shredded, however I can prove I paid in September and I am in the process of getting a copy of the cheque from the bank.

 

I have tried speaking to LL but he just states speak to my solicitor and I have tried ringing the number for the solicitor but it just goes to answer machine I left a message but got no reply.

 

At the beginning of November I asked my LL to confirm my arrears in writing and have a signed letter from them stating that July, October and Novembers had not been paid. I did pay Novembers following receipt of the letter and they have included that payment on their POC. However in the POC they have stated April and September has not been paid, like I said I can prove September has ..... can I include this letter as evidence in my defence? or do I have to prove every payment I've made?

 

I did not realise I still had to give notice I thought the LL already had with the notice to evict. And my last question is when the judge gives the order for me to leave and states I have to pay (whatever amount) in unpaid rent will he allow for the two months in advance Ive already paid?

Without seeing the rent statement provided I cannot comment other than if they are seeking re-possession on grounds of 2 months min unpaid rent due then you would appear to be 4 months overdue.

 

Post up your rent statement showing dates when rent due (monthly), dates payment made and amount paid.

It sounds as though the rent in advance as you call it, is actually a deposit. The only way it wouldn't have been a deposit is if you had paid the 2 months in advance when the tenancy began, and then not paid rent for 2 months after that, then monthly there onwards.

Therefore, as a deposit it should be protected in a government approved scheme.

 

If your landlord is applying under ground 8 of section 8, and as it seems you have more than 2 months rent unpaid, the judge will have no choice but to grant a possession order. He will have no discretion over this.

 

However, the fact that your deposit probably isn't protected (you should check with the 3 schemes), could help you avoid being evicted:

If you have the bank statement with the cheque number, get in touch with your bank for a copy of that cheque as their is a dispute, they can copy it and send you the copy, ask for both sides of the cheque to be copied thou

 

I know with my Bank, I can search for transactions, maybe you could do that, or pop into your bank and ask them to assist, Even thou what the likes of CAG have been doing and myself included (reclaim charges) they still do help

  • 1 month later...

Went to court on the 11th March, did not oppose the repossession order and asked for 21 days to leave. This was granted which means I have to vacate by the 1st April.

 

The problem I have now is the order is to pay the full amount of CCJ within the 21 days, I did tell the court I couldnt afford it and made an offer of £100 per month to pay. However my landlord wants to make an attachment on my wages to 'ensure' he gets his money!

 

I have made my first payment via standing order direct to landlord, and to date have received no paperwork. Should I apply via a N244 or N245 in order to request that I pay this monthly directly? I know I will have to pay a fee for this but not sure which form I need to use and whether I have to wait for court paperwork however my time is running out. On the other hand I dont really object to the landlord having an attachment on my earnings as long as its around the amount I can afford should I follow this route? My only concern about that is where I would want to pay extra money off the debt to clear it quicker.

 

Please can anyone advise. Regards JJx

Have you received the court order for the CCJ yet? you can send in an N245 form to vary the judgement i.e. ask to pay by installments instead of the full amount forthwith. If the LL wants an attachment of earnings he will have to apply to the court for it and you would receive paperwork asking for your employers details - you can oppose it and as you have already paid one installment to the LL by dd then I don't think the court would refuse payment by installment.

 

Did you ask what happened to the 2 months in advance you paid? have they taken this off the arrears?

Thanks Ell-enn, to date I have received nothing from the court since the hearing. Will I still be able to put a N245 in?

 

On the hearing day I had a free legal advisor from derby housing aid, she negotiated to get one months rent deducted off the arrears for the 2 months rent in advance. The LL only claimed £150 in costs despite having a solicitor represent him. The LL said he wanted an attachment on my earning because he felt as I was leaving the property he's worried that I may just dissappear without paying.

 

So I have now made a 1st installment, if I give the LL a c/o address (as I'm staying with friends for now) will that go in my favour?

 

Many thanks, JJ

I think you need to see what the court order says - can you ring the court and ask if it's been typed up yet.

Finally got the court order, it says to pay the full amount by the 8 April. So is it a N245 I need to apply to court to pay by installments?

Hi there, yes it is an N245 - I have affixed one to this post. If you need help filling it in please let me know.

 

You should hand it in to the court and there will be a fee of £35 to pay - it will need to be in cash, they don't usually accept cheques although they will accept postal orders.

You are asking for a variation in the order i.e. the court have ordered that you pay the whole sum by 8th April - you are asking the court to accept £100 per month instead.
