    • 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.

    • 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.

That is very threatening and I think that you need to inform HR that you are not aware of any 'legal proceedings' and issue a complaint to OFT.

 

Do you know where this has come from? Have Chantry contacted you directly?

Please support CAG and they will support you.

It sounds like a back door attempt to 'serve' papers on you via work - which is strictly against guidelines, or an attempt to find out if the HR people are gullible enough to swallow that the 'papers' are an Attachment of Earnings and MUST be acted upon immediately - this tactic is known to be used by some payday loan companies, I even think our friends HFO have tried doing this with no success..... "we will contact your employer with an immediate request for sequestration of your salary to pay our debt...."

They are certainly part of the 'sub prime' lending market and pray on the fact that sub prime borrowers are idiots, which they are not, in the slightest.

Post, don’t let the b*ggers get to you! That’s exactly what they want! Your one of the best at keeping others calm, so try and step back a bit yourself.

 

Have you any idea what it might be about? Could this be ID theft?

 

I think a letter before action to Chantry might well be in order. They haven’t even ‘alleged’ anything – straight in with defamation.

Just a thought.

As far as I am able to work out, english law allows actions for libel to be brought for any published statements alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual or individuals in a manner that causes them loss in their trade or profession, or causes a reasonable person to think worse of them (good old wikipedia!!!).

Was the statement actually published? Has anyone else apart from your HR department seen the letter? And have you suffered any quantifiable damage or loss? If no, then defamation may be a bit difficult to prove.

INTERESTING COMMENTS FROM A NEW POSTER

 

I USE ENGLISH LAW, NOT WIKIPEDIA

 

THIS IS DEFAMATION, NOT LIBEL

 

What is defamation?

 

Defamation is a false statement made by one individual about another. This statement attempts to discredit that person's character, reputation or credit worthiness. In order to be defamatory, such a statement must be communicated to at least one other person.

 

IN THIS CASE H.R

re defamation - 'liability for defamation is divided into the two categories of libel and slander'. libel for eg is re anything written etc. slander for eg is re anything spoken/gestured etc. re damages, the law presumes at least 'some' general damages re libel eg 'injury to reputation'. a 'quantifiable (ie monetary) loss' (that ND refers to) (ie 'special' damages) is distinct from 'general' damages. an action re libel would not require there to be proof of special damages (unless special damages are being claimed in addition to general damages, but then if the special damages claim fails it would not prevent the claim for general damages). whereas, in certain cases an action re slander would require there to be proof of special damage. hope this helps.

So thinking aloud... as this is regarding written matter, it would be libel rather than slander? And if a quantifiable, monetary loss can be demonstrated the award of damages would be general damages for loss of reputation PLUS special damages for monetary loss. Two bites at the cherry then!

Did your HR department actually give them information ? that's well out of order !

yes, 'any writing' is libel (ie defamation). no, no 'quantifiable' (ie monetary) loss is required re libel re general damages. general damages are 'presumed'. 'special' damages could be claimed in addition if applicable, but it would not affect any claim re general damages. an important distinction is re whether or not it is 'actionable' without evidence of damages. re libel and general damages, yes it would be as it is presumed. there's no 'two bites....' - if there is libel then it is defamation, and the aggrieved is entitled to full redress/compensation.

as post says, 'communicated to at least one other person'.

sorry to butt into your post but I am wondering if there was any update on this post as Chantry did exactly the same to me. However my HR dept were quite good they contacted me and advised that I did not have to agree to release the information just send them written confimration that I don't agree. Not sure what Chantry's tactic is as I had already been in contact with them for several months (and they have responded to me at my home address) repaying £25.00 per month but as they are adding £99.00 monthly payments this makes no difference as they were unable to get the information they have taken to contacting me again advising that they want my income and expenditure and cannot accept the £25.00. I did not contact them about their contact to my employer (February) and do not know if it is now too late to do this?

well well

 

chantry, you still cant get it right

 

i sent an SAR to chantry AND HAVE GOT BACK SOME ONES DETAILS WITH THE SAME NAME AS ME BUT AN ADDRESS IVE NEVER LIVED AT.

 

that lot is going up to the ico on Monday morning.

 

chantry, you just keep digging a bigger hole for your self.

 

NOW GOING THROUGH THIS SAR

 

ITS A SPEEDLOAN AGREEMENT (NEVER HAD ONE MYSELF AS STATED)

 

THEIR IS NO DEFAULT OR TERMINATION NOTICE, OR NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT. AS I UNDERSTAND IT CHANTRY ARE SPEEDLOANS IN HOUSE DCA

 

SO MY QUESTION IS

EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN HOUSE, DOES A DEFAULT AND TERMINATION NOTICE WITH ANY NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT NEED TO BE PRODUCED IN THE SAR DIRECT TO CHANTRY.

 

AND

 

ON THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT IT LISTS

 

DATE AND PAYMENT DUE BUT UNDERNEATH ACCRUED LPI

 

ANY TAKERS ON WHAT LPI IS

Unbelievable... at least there is tacit admission that they fecked up. But it’s still a misguided response. They have no right to contact your employer if there is no legal action (and what they can do is limited anyway), which they admit there is not. It’s a serious and deliberate threat to you.

 

Get that straight off to the ICO and the OFT.
