    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...

    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again

    • 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

 

Can anyone give me some advice please? About 4 years ago I stupidly ignored requests from my car insurance company to send them some paperwork (even though i had it and could easily have done so). The end result of this was they cancelled my policy. Although I'd like to just clarify i never lied ot them or became late with any payment.

 

I won't bore you with details but I was going though a very difficult time then and frankly couldn't care less about the consequences. I accept i just completely buried my head in the sand becuase i couldn't face sorting out a minor issue, and take full responsibilty for it.

 

However, my life's now back on track and since then I've been declaring each year that i have had insurance cancelled, which has been costing me a fortune.

 

My question is, do i have to do this forever, or is there a time limit? It seems a bit unfair if i still have to do this in 20 years and get lumped in with people who deliberately lied to their provider.

 

Any help please?

 

Many thanks

There is no time limit as such, which is worse than a criminal conviction which is covered by the rehab of offender act.

 

Without knowing the reason for cancellation, difficult to comment. If it is purely about documents not being returned, then I would not worry too much. The Insurers would have cancelled, as their procedures required this. Normally it is cases where fraud or deliberate non disclosure had been found out, where you would have a problem following a cancellation, as these would be recorded on a central database.

 

So my advice is to arrange cover normally, but to mention the cancellation in a way, that it was of no conseuquence i.e that documents they required did not get returned in time due to an admin oversight on your part. If you make a big deal of it, then they will deal with it in that way.

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for your reply

 

Right ok. It does sound unfair yes. It's a shame they don't do it in categories with the most serious kinds (involving fraud and deliberate non-disclosure) getting the lifetime thing. Although i know I've only got myself to blame.

 

Just to make sure I've got it right then, the best way is to sort insurance out over the phone, explaining that a previous insurer cancelled a policy a few years ago because I didn't return documents in time. Is that right?

 

I'm concerned that if they allow it but then don't make a note they could bring it up in the event of a claim. I wouldnt want to risk them saying i hadn't told them.

 

I don't suppose there's any likelyhood of the original insurer revoking the decision after of a big grovely apology with official records to back up the problems I was having? I guess not but I thought it's worth asking.

I think you are worrying unnecessarily about this. Some of this is caused by totally misleading posts and comments online about having to tell Insurers of every single type of cancellation, just in case they turn around and decline a claim.

 

If you can answer no to this question then I would not even bother to advise of the cancellation.

 

Have you ever had a policy cancelled due to either non disclosure or fraudulent conduct ?

 

If you are really worried about this speak to the previous Insurers who cancelled the policy. Ask for them to confirm in writing that the cancellation is not of the type that needs to be disclosed when arranging future Insurances.

We could do with some help from you.

I don't agree. The question is usually, 'have you ever had insurance declined or cancelled?' If you say no, that is untrue. Now, you are not some villain who has tried to cheat the insurers at some point, just someone who didn't send in proof that you indeed did have.

 

One would not think it significant, but we must remember that insrance companies are businesses there to make a profit. In the event of a claim they will take whatever reasoanbel steps they have at their disposal to minimise losses and that will mean going through the appliaction for insurance with a fine toothcomb. If they find you omitted any information that would or could have effected their decision to offer you insurance, they will void the policy and refund your premium paid in preference to paying for the damage caused.

 

I am reminded of the story recently of a woman who's house burned down. She had paid for insurance without claiming for something like 20 years. When she actually needed to claim they dug and boy did they dig deep. They found she had a caution for being drunk when she was 18 (now 50 something) or something equally trivial and that she did not disclose it when she originally applied for insurance, so they cancelled her insurance and refunded all her premiums - about £5k worth rather than pay for her £200k house to be rebuilt.

 

I will try to find the actual story.

Your view is shared by many, particularly brokers. I am not saying you are doing this, but some brokers post comments online about the cancellation issue, hoping to drive business down the broking route. i.e. if people believe that they have to inform of every cancellation, they are more likely to use a broker.

 

For the OP it is up to them what they do. If they have nothing to hide, as the cancellation was purely about documents not being returned, after the point of sale, then I can't see any Insurers using this to decline a claim. But if the OP is a cautious person then they should simply arrange cover by phone for the rest of their lives and mention that they once had a policy cancelled as they forgot to return some documents. In 5,10,20 years, this might seem a bit silly, if they have nothing to hide.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help with this. I've been in touch with my present insurer and they agreed what happened didn't count as a cancellation as they meant it. So as i had to get a new policy anyway i did a quick price comparison search, called the best offer, explained the situation, and got a fantastic price!

 

Although I've been paying a lot extra for the last few years, I'm happy to take that on the chin as it was a stupid thing to do anyway. Regarding how i had to ring up, I think I'll do the same for the next few years just to make sure the insurance companies are happy with it. Then in maybe 4-5 years or so I'll just do it online again, providing all goes well.

 

In case you're interested, my original insurer was Sheila's Wheels, and the new policy with with Tesco's.

 

Thank you again.
