    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 24/12/2022. 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 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.

    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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 am just about to migrate from employment support to jsa.I suffer with major depressive disorder and anxiety/ocd .I was only on esa for 4 months after being sacked from my part time job for my anxiety and ocd. I was within the 3 month probation period so nothing I could do .

I feel ready to try again with work and hope I get a more sympathetic employer.

 

 

Im 56 so I don't anticipate it will be an easy task finding work.

 

My question regards jobseekers, my mental health determines what i am able to do.

If i found myself in a fast paced stressful situation i would be straight back to square one.

Will the adviser at the jobcentre help me find work suitable for me?

 

Also i currently have my 25 year son live with me so i get a small amount of housing benefit and teeny bit of council tax benefit.

However he is going to join his older brother in Brisbane Australia and leaves in August of this year:(

Gutted to loose two sons,but proud they have the spirit and drive to get out of this country where we are going to hell in a handcart rapidly.Nothing here for them at all.

 

My question is regarding housing benefit i know i will have to pay the bedroom tax and my sons have told me they will cover that.

However my sons friend has said he would lodge with me .Would that work.who do i inform that i have a lodger.

 

Thank you in advance

Hi, Are you in social housing (council, housing association)? You would need to inform the housing department of the LA and the association.

Also you would need to advise the DWP if you have any benefits that may be affected by the income arising from having a lodger.

You are allowed lodgers but do need to inform the HA that you have them. However all but £20 per week of anything the lodger pays you will be deducted from your income related JSA or ESA. Personally, I think it costs more than £20 in electricity/water etc. to keep someone so unless you have 2 spare bedrooms, the saving in bedroom tax by having a lodger is not worth it financially.

 

Once universal credit comes in (if, it comes in and doesn't all go belly up like many experts predict) then you would be allowed to keep rent from lodgers up to the amount allowed by the HMRC but lodgers no longer will count towards a room being used so you still need to pay the bedroom tax despite having a lodger.

I'm very interested to any replies to your first question though Lottie as have wondered the same myself. ie. how understanding of your needs a JCP advisor is and whether they allow you ONLY to apply for jobs that you know will not make your MH deteriorate. I will watch this thread with interest.

My question regards jobseekers, my mental health determines what i am able to do.

If i found myself in a fast paced stressful situation i would be straight back to square one.

Will the adviser at the jobcentre help me find work suitable for me?

 

On your first visit to the Jobcentre, you will be required to sign a Jobseekers Agreement (usually abbreviated to JSAg) - This is your opportunity to specify which types of work you are looking for and which types you an not do. For example, if you have difficulties relating to people, then put down "Can not work with public or in telesales". In addition, don't tell them that you drive and then look at public transport available in your area - Available hours for work would then be two hours after the buses start to run up until two hours before services shut down for the evening - In my area, that is 06:30 to 22:30 Mon-Sat, but I'm available 09:00-18:00 Mon-Fri (want time to go out in an evening).

 

If you have a car, and don't mind working odd shift patterns, just because you have stated 09:00-20:00 on your JSAg, you still have the choice to do that work - It just limits the unsuitable jobs that the JCP adviser can push you towards.

 

Finally: Do not be pressured in to signing a JSAg (once you do, it becomes a binding part of you JSA claim). If there are parts that you have an objection to, ask for it to be referred to a Decision Maker.

Also a GP can give you support here, for instance due to your health, if your GP feels that realistically (for example) 16hrs of work are as much as you can do, and that lifting heavy stuff or busy places are not realistic, they can state this in writing and the jc will take it into consideration when doing the jsag.

If it is anything like the courses I've been on round here, it will cover the following:

 

  • Job searches and where to look.
  • CV writing and tailoring for specific jobs.
  • Alternative occupations that you can transfer existing skills to.
  • Speculative letters (and if you're lucky, why they are a waste of time).
  • Free tea/coffee and lunch - Don't count on it.

Look on it as an opportunity to find out what courses are available beyond the basic ESOL, ECDL, and junior school level math. It's only two days and you should be out of there by 15:00 or 16:00 so have time in town if you need it (don't forget to ask for travel expenses from JCP/DWP). It also means you have scope for avoiding any other "work related programme" for the next twelve months as I believe the JCP can only mandate you on one such "course" in a year.

I currantly live in a two bed flat and claim jsa. I have thought about and not lightly, taking a lodger as i just cant manage on my small income, and paying the bedroom tax. What i dont get is when i go through the benefit checker adding a lodger it comes up that i loose all my jsa ,get housing benefit but still have to pay bedroom tax so what am i missing. I also checked it without claiming jsa and the results were the same in which case why put my self through the stress of signing on once a fortnight. Im confused can anyone enlighten me?

So ,is This is how it works...I take a lodger who pays me £80 a week (seems to be the going rate for round here) I no longer claim job seekers allowance because its classed as an income.

I notify the council and i will recieve full housing benefit even though im not in receipt of any benefit...

I have typed this details into the benefit checker and it still comes up with you have to pay £12.86 a week for the spare room?? Surely it isnt spare anymore the lodger is in it...

Does the money your lodger pays include any cooked meals at your expense? Does he or she have a formal tenancy/lodger agreement in writing?
